Graham has laid down a fun little art challenge for all of you viewers out there. Loading Ready Run and Desert Bus have a LONG history of producing video content. Graham wants to see you smash that all together and show off some editing chops.

Graham is looking for video “remixes” of Loading Ready Run video content. This contest is running until 9:00 PM PST, and the winner will receive a copy of Pushfight and the elusive Desert Bus for Hope 10 Pinny Arcade Pin and Patch.

A couple of quick notes about the challenge:

• Please send your submissions to contest@desertbus.org with the subject line “LRR Remix”
• There is an upper limit of TWO MINUTES on all submissions
• The ideal sharing method is to send us a link via YouTube. If you wish it to be private we recommend keeping it unlisted, if unavailable then:

• Here are some resources for your video clips: LRRTube, LRRLive, DBFHTube

Get Mixing!
