YourMTB user photo spotted at Interbike

YourMTB user photo spotted at Interbike

This was kinda cool. I stopped by the Spenco booth at Interbike and saw this backdrop that sales and marketing manager Anne Miller-Larsen had commissioned for the show. Note the photo in the upper right. That was a picture submitted by YourMTB.com member ehansen007 as part of the user review glove giveaway program we did a while back. (As part of this program, glove recipients had to post an objective product review, and optionally include a photo. By posting a review or photo, participants in the program agreed to permit Spenco to use their stuff in marketing programs.)

'Unabomber' glove

From Fox, the Unabomber mountain bike glove. (Actually introduced in 2005.) Umm, anyone remember who the Unabomber was and what he did? ... Next year from Fox, the Osama glove? 8^)

Spenco Trail Pro Gloves - So tough they can handle Biosolids!

By subunit1 on 7/12/2006
Spenco Trail Pro Gloves - So tough they can handle Biosolids!

Spenco Trail Pro Gloves: Comfortable to enough to ride all day, yet tough enough to cycle in $H!T.
* Doumont trails also happens to be a biosolids waste management area - so at times there is "waste" sprayed on the sides of the roads and trails. (quite smelly at times not to mention it is not a treat to fall or walk in). Adds a new meaning to "not putting a foot down".

Editor's note: You can find more reviews of Spenco Trail Pro gloves here.

By Contests on 6/15/2006 in contests
Spenco's Heat Wave gloves: Ventilation for steamy days

THIS PROMOTION IS NOW CLOSED. We've given out all the gloves. Glove recipients are: h.hill, pumpkin pants, b-rad, sknibs, subunit1, itter, mtbr, maartin, skogorbet and ehansen007. ... We hope to do more product-review programs like this in the near future.

THE CONTEST: Are those mountain biking gloves you wear getting pretty ragged? Are you hands an embarrassment on the trail? Well, we have a free pair of gloves to give you. (10 pairs, actually -- so act fast if you want a pair.) All you need to do is tell us why you need a new pair of MTB gloves. Then when you get the new gloves, post a product review of them here on YourMTB.com.

THE PRIZE: Spenco Cycling has a cool new line of MTB gloves. We're giving away five pairs of Heat Wave gloves and five pairs of Trail Pro gloves.

RULES: First 10 people to request gloves get them. (But give us a good reason why you deserve it. No gloves awarded for blank or lame reasons.) When you receive them, take them out on the trails a few times. Within 30 days of getting your gloves, share your thoughts about them -- good or bad -- in a user product review. Keep the gloves. ... You do have to post a review. Otherwise, we'll have to release the flying monkeys.

There are few important requirements: 1) Tell us your glove size (S,M,L,XL); 2) your physical address must be included in your profile (otherwise, how will the monkeys, errr, the postal service, know where to deliver them?); 3) North American addresses only for this contest; and 4) you must be at least 13 years old.

HOW TO ENTER: Go to this glove contest entry page and use the Comments feature to tell us why you should get new gloves and what size you need. We'll pick up your postal address from your profile. (Rest assured that your address is visible only to us; we won't share it except to get your gloves delivered.) ... Once you have your gloves, we'll e-mail you instructions for posting your review.
