We’ve launched the World’s Largest Vurb Sweepstakes, making us the smartest media outlet in the world. That’s right, WE did it and no one else! The Vurbmoto Dreamstakes is your chance to win a Yamaha WOLVERINE RMAX2 1000 Sport, two (2) Yamaha TT-R110E motorcycles, AND $20,000 USD in cash! Yeah, YOU could win all of that by entering. This grand prize is estimated to be almost $50,000! To enter, purchase our super awesome merch at shopvurb.com to earn entries into the dreamstakes. No purchase necessary. See official rules for details.
You love March Madness, WE love March Madness, so let’s have some Vurbmoto Madness, shall we? Troy Dog spent a weekend creating the ultimate list of the best riders to ever do the thing and we seeded them into a sweet sixteen bracket.
Then we had you vote for the “play-in” #16 seed, in which we had you pick between Kent Howerton, Cooper Webb, Ken Roczen, and Mark Barnett for the final spot in the tourney. Ken Roczen won that poll and faced the GOAT Ricky Carmichael in round one.
We’ve had you guys vote here on the website and for key matchups on Instagram as well. Now the ELITE Eight have been chosen! Click here to see how the voting broke down and to see how we got to this point.
Again, we’re going to have some key matchups to vote on Instagram the next couple days. Here’s the full rundown. We don’t know what we are doing. We’re just trying to have some fun and see what everyone chooses! So, cast your vote below and help us narrow this bracket down!
It’s AWESOME BABYYYYYY! (Shoutout to Dick Vitale)
