in live yes so the mega sac the mega sac
2:01
right
2:02
earlier this month we started giving
2:04
away prizes every single day
2:06
this was our Christmas countdown
2:08
giveaway and this year's Hall of prizes
2:11
that we've managed
2:12
to scrounge out at the bike industry was
2:13
probably the biggest one we've ever done
2:15
the think that was about in all in in
2:17
the daily prices we gave away there was
2:19
a room but I think there's about 4,300
2:22
pounds worth of prizes but you see what
2:25
we did was when we talked to all the
2:27
manufacturers to scrounge all the prices
2:29
we said yeah you can't just send us one
2:30
prize you have to send us two so every
2:32
day we've given away a prize and and
2:35
then the second prize that we had we've
2:37
put it into the mega sack and today what
2:40
we're going to do is we're going to take
2:41
a lucky winner out of all the entries
2:43
that have happened through December and
2:45
that person is going to win everything
2:48
that is four thousand three hundred
2:50
pounds worth of gear okay if you've if
2:53
you've been entering through the through
2:56
the month then you're in the drop and
2:57
the way that it works is if you entered
2:59
on just one day after the 21 days then
3:02
that means you have one ticket in the
3:04
drawer but if you entered every single
3:06
day if you entered all 21 days then
3:09
you've got 21 tickets in the drawer so
3:11
you've maximize your chances of winning
3:13
so yes as I said earlier today press the
3:17
magic button on the computer which
3:19
randomly chose somebody from this year's
3:21
entrance their name is in this envelope
3:23
but let's just say I'm gonna do a quick
3:24
rundown of what you have what you could
3:27
win we've got some more comments corny
3:29
let's have a look greedy surfers got his
3:32
fingers crossed and Bob Hope and no hope
3:36
nice handle there so many sack jokes so
3:39
little time he got better sack jokes
3:41
then by all means throw them out there
3:43
and we'll read them out see if yours is
3:44
better than ours okay all you want for
3:47
Christmas isn't mega sack isn't that the
3:49
case for all of us and ablate but we got
3:51
a first Geographic shoutout from mothers
3:54
in Shropshire okay for all of our
3:56
international viewers Shropshire as a
3:58
place of it's not North Wales is it's in
4:01
the UK near the North Wales but I've got
4:03
my wife a vic behind behind the camera
4:06
so you're gonna push the buttons I'm
4:07
gonna switch my tab on my computer here
4:11
so I can actually run through the prizes
4:12
and as I do this if everything goes to
4:16
plan you should start seeing pretty
4:18
pictures of the prizes as they come up
4:20
so let's see if this works all right so
4:22
on day one we gave away
4:25
mock off pressure washer bundle then on
4:28

4:45
as we go through the prices about tire
4:47
repair our day five was a jtech
4:49
suspension service and custom tuned
4:51
that's a great prize actually because
4:53
that isn't actually that what they were
4:55
going to do is they're going to actually
4:56
take your fork and tune it exactly how
4:59
you want it to to be tuned so it's going
5:01
to make your fork the best that it could
5:03
possibly be just for you what a great
5:04
price day six sweet protection knee

5:46
own is worth about thousand quid day 11
5:50

5:52
favourite prizes because although it
5:54
just seemed to be like a non glamorous
5:56
bike Ripper maintenance kit there was
5:58
there was about 20 bottles of finish
6:01
line cross country Lube which is my
6:02
favourite Lube of all time and not only
6:04
that but they were the big bowls that
6:05

6:07
of lube for your bike and then where was
6:11

SLX group set ok and then we went into
6:21

6:30

6:31
of my favourite brands they're really
6:33
glamorous looking tools
6:34
day 14 a DMR bundle I think there was
6:37
grip
6:38

7:40
back ok so that's the whole bundle if
7:42
you're today's winner you're gonna win
7:43
all of that now let me just run through
7:46
the rules ok if you've entered your in
7:49
the draw the rules of the draw are that
7:51
you have to be in the UK ok now I know
7:55
there's probably some viewers out there
7:57
gonna be a little bit disappointed by
7:58
that if you're not in the UK the reason
8:00
for that is so much stuff we just can't
8:02
get it to you and a lot of the stuff
8:05
will probably have trouble posting it
8:06
abroad anyway all the lubes and oils and
8:08
things like that however if you if you
8:10
if you are an overseas entrant and you
8:14
were to win and you knew somebody here
8:16
in the UK that could come and get it for
8:18
you because there's the second thing you
8:19
have to come and get it even if you're
8:23
in the UK what we're doing is what we've
8:24
done every year which is that we have we
8:29
invite the winner to come and collect
8:31
their winnings from the office so part
8:33
of the prize you get to spend the whole
8:35
day with us single track tails whoo yes
8:39
my my wife is probably not too impressed
8:42
doesn't think that's a huge amount of
8:44
value
8:46
but no you would come to the office to
8:49
singletrack towers we are based in West
8:51
Yorkshire and you would spend the whole
8:54
day with us we would feed you we'd go
8:56
for a ride okay so you could bring your
8:58
bike if you wanted to maybe we could
9:00
look and if there's a bike we had on
9:02
test that would fit you then we could we
9:04
happily fit you up with a bike chips to
9:06
take you out
9:07
take your riding around some of other
9:08
favorite trails come back feed you up
9:10
and then all of us in the office will
9:12
give you a hand loading up your car with
9:14
all of your prizes and you get to drive
9:16
home with and with the mega sack so yeah
9:20
so that's that's the mega sack ladies
9:23
and gentlemen now just to tease this out
9:26
a bit longer I think I had actually made
9:28
some notes about actually yeah just
9:32
discussing a few more things before we
9:33
get to the get to the the big unveiling
9:36
does anybody we've got any more comments
9:38
coming in as anybody asking any
9:39
questions got any questions at all if we
9:41
got here well still got the last one was
9:43
modders from Shropshire okay well tell
9:48
us what has been the highlights of your
9:50
you're out there dog where you going
9:52
you're just making yourself comfortable
9:53
okay this is Dolly this is oh I'm mad
9:58
spaniel not so mad at the moment as you
10:00
can see yeah yeah okay right
10:05
yes highlights what I've been your
10:08
highlights of 2019
10:10
mountain biking wise you know what have
10:12
you been getting up to cuz it gives a
10:14
shout out if you've got any particular
10:16
highlights my highlight for me I think
10:18
this year I probably had a couple of
10:22
highlights I think the first the first
10:25
highlight was our train trip to Verbier
10:28
the only buddy see that in issue I think
10:30
it's one to seven myself and Vicky we
10:34
took ourselves to bike verb you in
10:36
Switzerland and we went there entirely
10:39
on trains so we got on the train we
10:41
didn't even drive to the local train
10:42
station we rode from the door here all
10:44
the way wanted to see if it was possible
10:45
to get door-to-door without using
10:48
anything other than public transport and
10:50
no planes and that was to say is one of
10:53
the most stressful experiences of and
10:57
adventures
10:59
ever been on right up until we got going
11:03
everything fell into place and it was
11:05
one of the best mountain biking trips
11:08
I've ever done in my life
11:10
the second one was going to Whistler in
11:12
late September and I think I rode in
11:15
Whistler the probably the best writing
11:17
I've ever done in my life it was it was
11:19
fabulous if you haven't been to whistle
11:21
it should be on your bucket list you
11:22
have to go we everybody knows about the
11:25
bike park there and and and our mission
11:27
when we went was to actually go and find
11:29
all the stuff not out you know not in
11:32
the bike park in fact we went there with
11:34
the intent that we were probably not
11:36
going to write in the bike park at all
11:38
but the tourist board hooked us up with
11:41
some lyft passes and so we thought we
11:43
had to give it a go and I will admit it
11:46
was it was way more fun than I expected
11:50
it ever would be and I can highly
11:53
recommend it and you should definitely
11:55
put on your bucket list anybody else to
11:57
tell him is what's going on at the
11:58
moment or or should we just get straight
11:59
on with the process oh we got something
12:01
coming in all right okay what we see
12:05
taking so Bob Hope and no hope
12:07
taking his solar max to Pollock Park
12:09
Wales for the first time was his
12:11
highlight France you know what I've
12:13
never been al this is this I'm ashamed
12:15
to say I've never been to bike park
12:17
Wales yet everybody at in the office has
12:19
been just the opportunities never had I
12:21
should do that in 2020 and and who have
12:25
we got here Matt eskdale all right more
12:28
xeam for the first time with you brother
12:29
and wife awesome we're often more zien
12:31
next year when we go is it June July
12:33
yeah going to if Maureen in Jul I've
12:36
been there a couple of times already in
12:37
bikes and yes it is absolutely should be
12:40
on a bucket list
12:41
Toby dog mountain bike highlight for
12:44
2019 was getting a Rocky Mountain
12:46
altitude power play lovingly like yes a
12:50
bike's bit polarizing aren't they but I
12:53
can only I can only tell you that we're
12:55
gonna have we're gonna have more ebikes
12:58
are gonna be part of all of our futures
12:59
in coming years
13:00
what was that we've pointed out I know
13:04
sorry Andy you're not know sorry is it's
13:08
it's it's not going to be here here no
13:10
Andy you can see him in the comments
13:12
there that's
13:12
the one of our one of our writers at
13:15
work and you've seen him in all the
13:17
videos practically so no Andy doesn't
13:19
win the mega sack and modest whilst
13:22
you're thinking you've taken part in
13:24
your first ever organized mountain bike
13:25
event the batch burner which takes in
13:28
some of the peaks of long-long wind yeah
13:31
that's another classic mountain biking
13:34
route in the UK and again I'm ashamed to
13:37
say I've never actually ridden it that's
13:39
something else I need to sort out maybe
13:41
in the next year
13:42
Matt s Dale you're 66 year old dad
13:45
getting an e bike coming riding with you
13:48
for the first time in 20 years how
13:49
amazing must that have been this is this
13:53
is as much as e bikes got a lot of stick
13:56
from what I would maybe politely say is
13:59
the purists of the mountain bikers the
14:01
the opportunities that it opens up not
14:03
only where you can ride but who you can
14:06
write with that you wouldn't always be
14:07
able to ride with is it's just fantastic
14:09
it's as far as I'm concerned ebike is
14:12
going to do nothing but good for the
14:13
entire mountain biking world but hey
14:16
maybe I'm wrong we'll see how we go
14:18
