International/NZ/Australian Snowboard Giveaway

Originally posted by Jim84 This isn't about the giveaway (generous of Sierra though, you guys are great), I also am not getting emails, even though I thought I was subscribed, I've never received a newsletter from them. It looks like a common problem, hopefully it can get sorted out?

Have you tried a different email account?

Truth is this is a really aggressive move by them. You can see why the business is pretty damn successful at the end of the day. In one day theyve changed the rules on global shopping - this is pretty much what every person with internet access wants to see happen but very few companies (if any) actually have the balls to do it.

I envisage a backlash of some description from some of the more commercial brands, because this is arguably way bigger than anything theyve done all year when you put it in perspective. But i hope the smaller brands out there recognise that this is putting your board in the hands of people who would LOVE to ride it but cant justify the price, the shipping and the import tax on top of it, (instead theyd probably just go and buy a burton deck because thats what saturates our market, it has name recognition, and its just more convenient).

For any companies out there listening in, realise that as a customer, sierra have just made you a serious alternative in our purchasing considerations. Why wouldnt you want to offer your deck to everyone for the same price at the end of the day?

Thanks to Jared and the Sierra crew, can't wait for the new Stunt, sweet new superfragelistic board to try this year on Mount P', see ya round air t-bar. If I have a choice the 159W or 162W would suit my size 12USboots...

THANKS SIERRA...NO YOU WILL BE SEEING ME 1 EXTRA TIME PER DAY ONTOP OF MY 20 TIMES ALREADY!

SEE YOU AT 3PM EST!

So is it official that it will be a regular thing - cos today was a trial I thought.

Damn, missed out! plus im out in the field this week so no internet connection for me at that time anyway. :( sigh

Originally posted by beedledeedoo Well fark me sideways!  What a pleasant ambitious manouvre on Sierra's behalf.  That's so cool.  So that means I should sort out that iphone loggin into Sierra, like twice a day to go in both Draws, if I've understood right?   Um, ok so now I wonder: would there be much interest generated if I propose the idea of having some sort of a Sierra members meet-up n ride down under in NZ this season?  ......yeah yeah na yeah?

Yeah.. I've been trying to encourage that to happen in the international threads... Maybe I'll open a thread when the time gets closer.
We'll have to call it... "NewOzzapalooza" or something. :P

The first notice said this International give-away will run all week. So sounds like a trial. IMO, it will probably end when they clear out stock of the surplus of Sierra boards.

the normal give away is kinda late for us swedish. its at midnight. so i'd rather have the new give away 6-3 hours before the normal give away or 7-8 hours after the normal give away!

and im sure most european's would agree.


but man thats nice for the Aussi, good work sierra.

yippeeee! yay for australia!!

Originally posted by Mike.M The giveaway is for any international customer with an international address.

I live in Japan but I don't think I've ever entered my address into my profile or anything? How can I make sure I'm in the international list?

EDIT: sorry about the double post. I see my location is listed as Japan in my profile. Is that enough?

Originally posted by sevenel_mx Sieraustralia...organise it or sierapalauzzie haha, both so lame.

Definately need a stop outside the US in this so called "world tour"...come on down under

First AUS snowfalls due this weekend...

so does international loggers get blocked out at the 3pm giveaway and the US loggers are blocked out for the 6pm??

the 3pm is for everyone, and the 6pm is for anyone out of the US where your member details reflect this

No we are able to enter both draws

times are 8am and 11am in Melbourne

So I just log on at 6pm pst? Is there an official page where I can see who won(like the regular where the guy in the webcam anounces the winner), besides this page?

good idea

sorrygot my times mixed up...its 11am in sydney...1010 now and counting!!
