Hi guys, I'm new here.
Before we start, I'm friends with RobRides, I actually met him at his first Eurobike when he just started his channel - so no need to think I am hi-jacking his review channel, I checked with him first before posting here.
A brief intro to me: I was nearly a pro racer some years ago in WC DH and EWS. Followed by working for BikeMagic, Dirt Magazine and then 5 years as the European Tech editor for Pinkbike. I have also spent time guiding, coaching and working within the bike industry test riding and prototyping for manufacturers.
Now I have bought a farm in Italy, I am building a private test centre and reviewing bikes independently. To fund this independent channel, I am giving the bikes away in competitions on my website, sort of like crowdfunding but also giving my followers a chance to win something cool.
I currently have a Radon Render on test. There are 4 videos about it so far on my youtube channel and one more coming later this week.
The competition is live on my site and for only £10 you can win the Render, delivered anywhere in the world. Current odds are 1/313and very unlikely to sell out!
head to astonmtb.com for tickets and my youtube channel for the videos.
And any feedback, comments or suggestions I am happy to talk about on eMTBforums
Thanks, Paul.
