This amazing video came to us via TEAM CLIF BAR athlete Hans Rey. It’s a ridiculous adventure through the Scottish Highlands with a few of the world’s best mountain-bike madmen, specifically Danny MacAskill and Steve Peat.

UPDATE: Entries are officially closed! Thanks to everyone for the amazing response. We’ll announce the winner this Monday, August 2.

UPDATE 2: The moment has come! Congratulations to nrogers—our grand-prize winner—for going above and beyond, creating a entire mock blog, post entries and more. Truly an awesome effort that deserves to be recognized.

And the runners up: Swisscheez, TisShannon, and Capecodbeer—You’ll each get something for you great submissions.

Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by and dropped their creative comment. This was an EXTREMELY difficult decision, as there were so many awesome entries. But at the end of the day, someone has to win!

So you wake up on any given weekday morning. You brew your coffee/tea, which you quickly pour into your travel mug, then reach into your bag for that trusty CLIF BAR. Uh oh. Fresh out!

You just hate it when that happens, we know. Well, we’re here to help. We want to load up one lucky Clif fan with a year’s supply of bars, a lofty prize for any CLIF BAR lover.

But we don’t want to simply give hundreds of bars away at random. We want someone creative, active, funny and/or someone that’s just plain-old passionate about Clif products and the lifestyle Clif Bar & Company promotes. So we ask you this question.

What would you do with a year’s supply of CLIF BARs?

Entries will be judged based on their content by creativity and originality, and the winner will be contacted via email. All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post (if you’re not already registered, you’ll want to do that first) and tell us what you’d do with a year’s supply of CLIF BARs. (Make sure you read the full contest rules here before submitting.)

If you want to make a video (YouTube, Facebook...) or share a pic (Flickr, Twitpic, Facebook...) that might help your cause, just include the link(s) in your comment. But that’s not a must. Just be yourself and we’ll take that into consideration.

Starting now, you’ll have until July 29, 2010 (11:59pm PT to be exact) to get your comment in. Only one comment per person will be counted, so make it good!

While there will only be one grand prize winner, we’ll choose our top five and give the runners up something to snack on. More chances to win!

Good luck!
