I was invited, along with Patrick from Pedal Consumption and Zach from Zlog, to be a judge in the new Leader and Trick Track give-away contest. The gist is you can win a new Leader frameset for submitting a picture of yourself doing a fixed gear freestyle trick. This should be good, so get your photographer buddies and your skills ready!
Full rules and regulations are below.
Rules and Regulations:
-Submit a photo of your best trick to tricktrack.org
-You cannot work for Leader or Tricktrack.org
-Submissions close January 31st
-All riders that are sponsored are exempt
-Photos have to be original (no editing or photoshopping)
-The trick rider wins one (1) frameset, not the photographer
-The photographer of the photo will win a 20% off discount off any purchase from Leader under $500
John, Zach and Patrick will pick 3 finalists, then it goes to a poll open to all tricktrack members to vote on one winner
Post your images here, at the New Bike New Year contest thread on Trick Track.

The site is refusing to allow me to register because I'm entering incorrect security code or whatever, but there is no option to enter it. Anyone look into this/ having this problem?

I should also win because Leader used my sequence shot of Drew Leshko at Love park without my permission. They strung me along and made numerous empty promises to me while extorting more photographs from me. They told me to send them more images and i could become Leaders "east coast photographer." They asked me what size frame i ride and had me call the marketing and promotions department in hopes of them getting me a frame for the work ive done,etc... In the end all i got was a blanket statement of "we do not pay photographers, ever" and "we only give parts to our sponsored riders." Leader took a lot from me and i received ZERO COMPENSATION. Leader played me and they are going to do the same to you. If photography is your career, like it is mine, please think twice before working with them.
Hey Leader, a little photo credit on the flyer you illegally made would be nice.
