We held a little contest to test out our mobile uploader and had users send over the goods Santa brought em. With over 1000 people uploading their Christmas haul to Pinkbike from over 45 different countries, was great to see the Christmas spirit kicking. We picked four people randomly below and will keep the giving going by sending them some Pinkbike swag. If you want to try out the mobile uploading to your profile, have a peek at the video here.

 Whoever got a full brand new expensive bike or frame should think again... far too much to have been given unless it was a family gift, but even then the family would have had to be pretty big!

 It all works to scale. If your parents earn more, you get more. Don't moan, he says he put money towards it too.

Thats what being a kid is, scrounging as much off your parents as humanly possible!

 Some of these peoples X-mas gifts have made me feel a little sick inside, when compared to the odi ruffian grip set and fork oil+ grease a hoodie and the socks that seem to work there way into my gift pile each year. I,ll suck it up and not get all jellious through, at the end of the day were all bikers on here, some may have more and better stuff but we,ll all have a laugh shreddin what ever we,ve got. Happy New Year to all you PinkBikers.
