Here We Are Again – Big Push 2010

Back again (what, another year has already passed on by??) with the Big Push 2010. If you don’t know what this is then catch up right here with the words from the people running the contest and check out the video introduction plus last year’s winning video edit from the VANS team below.

» keep looking back for updates on the official Big Push 2010 page

“This year we have an extra team with I-Path joining last years six. We’ve also slimmed down the challenges and dropped the specific regions in favour of dividing the UK into North and South to give each team more time and space to simply go out skateboarding.

Each team is tasked with a variety of missions, including 10 obscure tricks for points, a possible three NBD tricks at famous spots in their assigned area (North or South) as well as a highest ollie competition, which will happen on the road.

As with last year, points accrued from completing the challenges set will count for half of each team’s individual score, with online voting accounting for the rest. Your votes will be added to these pre-existing scores to determine the overall winners – you are voting for your favourite edit – nothing else, so use your vote wisely.

The winning team of this year’s Big Push will score themselves £2000 prize money to share between the participants, as well as the cover of the Christmas mag and internet fame beyond compare.

The Big Push DVD will be cover-mounted on the October issue of Sidewalk, due out in shops on or around the 19th of October.

All the Big Push edits will be online from November 1st to allow those who haven’t seen the magazine to get involved in bigging up their favourite crew of shoe humans. Online voting will close on the 15th of November so don’t hang about.”

The Big Push 2009 – All Videos Right Here

The Big Push 2009 - All Videos Right Here

Some comments have been coming in, asking just about if I have been sleeping while the Big Push 2009 has been all over the media. Easy answer – no, I wasn’t sleeping I’ve been reading the Sidewalk Skateboard Mag, watching videos and just enjoying it while thinking for myself: who am I going to vote for. Six teams involved, the judges points are in and now it’s up to us to help decide which team wins fame and fortune. What was the difference to last year?

a) Each team was allocated a specific geographic area – hopefully meaning less repeated spots and a more comprehensive sessioning of the country.

b) Each team were set regional specific tasks – i.e. everyone doing certain tricks at certain spots, set concrete parks to visit and film a line at, obscure trick list to fill out and, most importantly NBD challenges at one iconic spot per area.

c) This year the winner will be chosen 50% through online voting and 50% through points garnered through completion of set tasks.

That’s all folks – voting will close on December 10th 2009 and for all of those who don’t have a copy of the latest Sidewalk Skateboard Magazine, I’ve added all of the videos in here (thanks to Mpora.com) – 6 videos to choose from. The link to the voting page is after all of the videos, click on the following link to watch all of the videos!
