—————————————–
Sorry it took so long to announce the winner, but it took a while to go through everyones emails. Even after we knew Jonathan won, we went through every single email just to see all the different answers people gave and some of them were pretty funny. Now I feel bad that I can’t give you all a jacket (I really do). But contests are made to be won, and Jonathan was the first person to submit his answers with all 12 correct. Danny Chan from Stockton Ca/Las Vegas was the first person to submit his answers, unfortunately he didn’t get all 12 correct.
I do want to do more than just give one person a jacket, so Ive decided to give the first 11 people who entered a free piece of headwear. The following people are:
Danny Chan
Troy Dezeeuw
Eddie Sujarit
Kris Troyer
Adam Swanson
Michael Rae-Grant
Jomo-xjomox@aol.com (dont have a last name in your email)
David Lam
Zan714@aol.com(no name in your email, please email us)
Franco-francoshade7@aol.com
Tim Nguyen
Here is Jonathan’s email, with the correct answers. I have given a little naration after each question.
1. Sam Perkins (you guys would be surprised to see how many people actually guessed Michael Jordan for this one, maybe I worded the question poorly but still… Michael Jordan????
2. Jennifer Harman dated todd brunson , he is not married (This one was weird, I would have taken either Harman or Angela Brunson, I have found conflicting reports as to wether they were married or not. I have a friend who is actually a friend of hers, and she told me they were married for a short period of time. In the end we agreed that either answer would work)
3. Ochmonek(there was different spellings possible, but this was the right answer)
4. Moses did not have an arc with animals, noah did! moses had an ark of the covenant , which he brought 2 tablets of the covenant on (trick question, care of Thomas our intern)
5. 1996 x games = Providence & Newport, Rhode Island
Inline street- 1.Arlo Eisenberg(Franco Shade graphic designer)
Skateboarding Street – 1.Rodil De Araujo Jr.
BMX street- 1. Dave Mirra
6. In 1922, Stephen Poplawski invented the blender.
7. 5 Original members(this one was the weirdest one, Arabian Prince and D.O.C were part of N.W.A, but they were axed and not on the original album so in the end we went with these 5 as the final answer)
1.Ice Cube
2.MC REN
3.Eazy E
4.YellA
5.Dr.Dre
8. There were 5 not 4 cities on the first world tour shirt : London, Paris, Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo
(Trick Question #2)
9. Mcrib introduced 1981
10. Puma and Adidas were founded by Rudi and Adi Dassler , Adi founded adidas and Rudi founded Puma
11. The Wizard premiered scenes from super mario 3 , which was to be released the following year
12. Jonas used to work as a DJ and a Valet , He started LRG with MC Robert wright , which he Djed for
We are planning on doing this every time a new line comes out since we had so many people participate, hopefully you will all have a chance to win next time. Thanks again for participating, and have a good holiday weekend.
