BSV Results Are In…

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Big congratulations to Stevie-B, the winner of the 2009 Freebord Best Submitted Video Contest!

bsv09_graphic21st Place: Stevie-B – “The Bay Remix

“The Bay Remix” blew the judges away with its super clean production and smooth, stylie riding. For his tribute to the hills and riders of the SF Bay Area, Steve gets the BSV 2009 trophy as well as $500 cold hard cash.

2nd Place: Sam Trowbridge – “Flow

Proving that you don’t need a crew to make a dope ass video, Sam Trowbridge from Western Australia is the proud new owner of this Burton camera backpack, perfect for lugging around all your gear while you’re out riding.

3rd Place: Arnaud Blin – “Chrilogie Teaser

Coming in a close third, Arnaud Blin and the CHoE crew for their Chrilogie Teaser. These guys took the competition last year, and brought another solid edit for ‘09. Arnaud will be getting this camera pack just in time for snowboarding season in the Alps (that lucky bastard!).

Special shout out to Corey Lucero and Roberto Lopez, whose vids made the top 5 and will be featured on the BSV page through 2010!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to make videos and send them in… this year brought some new diversity and raised the bar once again on video editing coming out of the Freebord community.
