Granny Gear Productions and YourMTB.com are teaming up to host a Grassroots Channel for this year's 24 Hours of Killington on July 28-29.

What that means: Competitors, participants and spectators alike will use this site as a homebase from which to share their photos, stories and videos from the race.

As an added bonus, we're giving away prizes to those who post the best stuff! Check it:

BEST PHOTO: Post your pictures from the weekend -- the racing, the Lemans start, the athletes, the spandex, the support crews, the crowd, the yawns, sleeping racers, sunrise over the course, party blackmail-caliber photo ... ANYTHING goes! A week or so after the event, the best pic of the bunch will be chosen. Best photo winner shall receive a sweet Evolution Smart Halogen NiMH Technical Lighting System from NiteRider (value: $250), plus a YourMTB.com t-shirt.
