Airborne Bicycles just announced on their Facebook page Friday night that they are officially accepting applications for the 2011 Airborne Flight Crew. They are currently looking to fill 6 positions, replacing 5 people from last year and adding 1 new position tobring the total number of Crew members up to 12.
As a returning member of the Flight Crew I can personally vouch for how awesome of a deal this is! It is truly a unique experience to be able to shape the course of a mountain bike brand as it develops.
Influence aside, this is really an incredible gig. In exchange for repping the brand digitally, you get:
- An (almost) all expenses-paid trip to the Sea Otter Classic
- 1 or 2 free Airborne bikes for you to keep
- Other free gear and schwag
- Insane discounts on the rest of the Airborne line
I’ve written more of my thoughts on being a member of the Flight Crew in this post.In it, I reminisce about all of theunique experiences that I had in 2010 and I look forward to what 2011 has in store.
If you are interested in joining us on the Airborne Flight Crew, you have toact fast: submissions are due by March 15. For more information, please read this document with all of the official rules.

@GoldenGoose, Basically they didn't really hold up their end of the bargain as far as producing content (videos, blogs, etc. etc.). I'm sure each case was a little bit different, but that's the long and short of it.
Also, apparently they are wanting to rotate people in and out on a regular basis, in order to keep things "fresh" and new ideas flowing. Recently they mentioned that the longest anyone might be on the Crew is 2-3 years. Not that they don't like us or anything!
