Last year we had a long-running contest to announce the release of our brand new product, the Phat Tyre Footbag. Now that we’ve had some time to cool down from that amazing launch, we’re ready to jump back in and give a bunch of lucky winners a free Phat Tyre of their choice! You can now enter to win a Phat Tyre, Phat Tyre Sport, or our crowd favorite the Phat Tyre PRO for free simply by tweeting us why you want one at our @PhatTyre Twitter Profile. Be sure to mention @PhatTyre and tell us why you would want one, it’s that simple!

The more people we have participating, the longer we’ll run the contest! Encourage your friends to get involved, ReTweet the contest details, mention the contest to your sport buddies or whatever you have to do! We’ll give extra consideration to the people that get the most involved; show us you really want a free Phat Tyre!
