Many of you will have noticed that the vibe around Rotorburn has been a bit grim of late. Bickering in the Off-Topic section seems to have dominated posting. We know there are plenty of long-term members who observe but don't post much as a result.

So as I mentioned in the Little Things You Love thread, I'm setting you all a challenge. I'd like to see at least twenty quality new threads about mountain biking before Christmas Day: this could be a sweet new PYR (doesn't have to be a fancy bike to be a good story), a detailed road trip or trail report or an interesting thread about how to do some kind of mechanical thing. Lots of photos are encouraged!

Because Rudolph needs a carrot to get out of bed I'm going to put up a $50 Pushys voucher for a randomly selected thread from this period.

EDiT: There are now two $50 Pushys vouchers up for grabs; the odds are improving!

So grab your potato camera, wipe the dust off that neglected bike and let's Make Rotorburn Great Again.

I'll add links to the threads here so people can see who's in the running:

@dancaseyimages' Transition Scout PYR.
@Mattyp's Propain Spindrift PYR
@Dales Cannon's Post Your Favourite Ride Thread
@Asininedrivel's Austrian Adventure

Well we'll be damned, someone thinks the ramblings of a fat pig are worth something.. we got a local cheap as video creation place to help us with winning that 50 buck voucher....We need to get good content creation.... that'll get us all the votes...

Wait, why are there two apparently naked men, a woman and a dog in front of a blue screen sheet...

Holy crap, the director/ video guy is puffin from that pipe real hard...

Crap, the pigs genitals have gone from 4K HD to looking like they're rendered by a water damaged Atari 2600.....

Come on, if we win this.... We'll sell the 50 buck pushys voucher to @pink poodle for some "Japanese snow" and hopefully the pipe smoking director will upgrade our genitals from heavily pixelated to a soft Vaseline lens affect after we give it to him....

P.S. saw this about an hour after reading we'd been added to the list....

It is grim, same controversial crap at the top of 'new posts' every visit, not much about bikes lately.

Ban/lock controversial threads in the off-topic. If people aren't mature enough to accept everyone has different opinions without arguing and calling names, then let them keep their schmack talk for Fakebook.
 
I guess it's easy to just go back to riding bikes when the outcome doesn't touch our lives in any way.
 
Thanks everyone for getting behind this idea. We've already passed the half way point so things are looking pretty positive for that plump bearded chap.

Seeing some great PYR's, and would definitely love more travel and trail reports too.

Keep up the good work, and if you're someone who's largely posting in Off-Topic, now is your change to get involved in the bike side of things.

Nice one.
