Win a Coker!

Guest
In order to encourage skilled Coker riders to get involved in the new
sport of Rolling Trials and to try and expand the skills of those who
may be interested in the sport, I am sponsoring a contest. The prize is
a stock Coker. You have to clean 4 Lines (on a Coker) in order to win a
Coker. The four Lines are described in my post "Rolling Trials"
(http://tinyurl.com/553df).

If you don't know what "cleaning a Line" means... read my post and
you'll find out. I hope to have to shell out the $$$ to buy someone a
Coker in the next 6 months! The contest officially ends on: Saturday,
July 16th.

Wow, very generous!

I laos have a coker but I might give it a go just for prize-less fun.
Not that I'm expecting to be able to do it.

Ah, the paradox: I'd love to win a coker, but in order to do that, i
must own one, thus eliminating my desire to have a coker. But to get
that coker, I'd need to win it, which I can't do without one.

True, in a sense. On the other hand:

1. It may be possible (though fairly unlikely) to borrow a Coker.
2. It's always nice to have 2 Cokers :D.
3. I'd be willing to substitute the Coker for another type of uni of
equal value.

The big problem for you is that Philly is a pretty good distance form
California, so the expense of getting to the ESPN X Games skatepark in
Philly would probably make the contest unrealistic for you (unless you
happen to be going to Philly anyway and you have the skills to nail
those Lines given the limited amount of practice time you'd have while
you were there).

I can borrow a coker and Philly is really close to my place in Philly.

That's great! I'd really love to see you clean those Lines... that would
be EXTREMELY inspiring to me and I believe it would launch you straight
to the top of the Rolling Trials (Database) point standings, making you
the foremost Coker pilot in the sport (for the "Database" competition).
You've got plenty of time to practice! I really hope you can pull it off
and I wish you the best of luck!

If you want to try and win the contest, but you've already got a Coker
and don't want another one, you can instead:

1. Opt for an Airfoil wheelset with tire, tube, and cranks included,
or
2. Opt for a MUni or some other Uni of a wheel size other than a 36"
that is approved for Rolling Trials competitions (24"x3", 26", 28" or
29")

The surface of the floor is quite slick, so AVOID SHARP TURNS.

Thanks a lot, Andrew. If anyone could do it, you'd be one of the guys at
the top of my list! If you're coming to the States (the East Coast)
within the next 6 months and you can get to the ESPN X Games skatepark
in Philly, you'll have loads of fun there... and you might as well go
for the prize, because it doesn't have to be a Coker... it can be an
Airfoil rim (with tire, tube, and cranks), or a MUni or other type of
Uni of equal value to a stock Coker and of an approved wheel size for
Rolling Trials (which hasn't been finalized, yet... but it will be by
the time you clean those Lines :D). Also, if you are coming to the
States... let me know when (and where) because I'd love to have the
opportunity to see you ride and ride with you!

Come to Philly and ride with us. You can borrow one of ours and try to
win your own.


I won't be in Philly until like next May though.

I'll be in Monroe Township, NJ in March. It's about 45 minutes outside
of Trenton, which isn't too far from Philly.

But I can hardly manuever a 20 inch, so who am I kidding?
