WIN Tyler Chorlton’s Kit & A holiday in Morzine
We’ve got hold of Tyler’s complete setup, including Bataleon Goliath board, Vans Andreas Wiig boots, Union Force bindings and a complete set of Oakley outerwear*, which we’re going to be giving to one lucky winner. All the items will be personally signed by Mr Chorlton – so you’re guaranteed to have something else to brag about to your mates (beyond winning a shed load of free shit).
But that’s not all. We’re also giving our lucky winner the chance to test out their brand spanking new kit first-hand by throwing in a week-long holiday courtesy of Rude Chalets! Our winner will get a place on the company’s Custom park, pipe and jib tour which takes place in the French freestyle capital of Morzine between April 11th to 18th next year. They’ll get a chance to shred with a Burton UK team rider, as well as free transfers to and from Geneva and a room in Rude Chalet Joseph. This pimped-out property includes little luxuries like ensuite bathrooms, original snow art on the walls and X-box 360s in every room – as well as all the wine you can drink. (Wow, sounds dangerous – Ed) And thanks to the lovely lifties in Morzine, the winner will also get a lift pass for the Portes du Soleil area for the whole week, gratis. The ski area is the world’s biggest, boasting a massive 650 km of pistes and nine snow-parks spread over 12 resorts in two countries. Not a bad little prize overall eh? 
All you have to do to get your hand on all of this goodness is answer this simple question:
Wat Tyler became famous for what in 1381?
*Tom Kingsnorth has kindly pointed out that Tyler is on Transform gloves, not Oakleys which we were previously offering.

1381: Rebellion first broke out in Essex but soon spread to Kent. A group of rebel peasants from there began to march against the King and took Rochester Castle by force. Walter Tyler (known to history as Wat) was chosen as the mob’s leader and spokesman. He then led his people’s army on to Canterbury and then London via the outskirts at Blackheath. There they burned many houses including one belonging to John of Gaunt. King Richard the Second (then only fourteen years old) eventually agreed to meet the revolutionaries at Mile End on June 14th, but only as what turned out to be a political ploy. The King gave the impression that he would give in to their demands of ending serfdom and market monopolies and give extra rights and freedom of labour. Tyler and another group of rebels, flushed with their success went on to take the Tower of London by force and beheaded several high officials including the Archbishop of Canterbury, Simon Sudbury and the Treasurer Sir Robert Hales. The following day King Richard agreed to meet Tyler again this time at Smithfield. There he put further demands including the seizure of all church lands. Tyler advanced in front of his strong force to speak with the King and showed no deference which angered the royal party. He then asked for a drink of water as it was a hot June day and spat it out in an uncouth manner. A fight ensued between Tyler and the King’s officials and he became wounded by the Mayor of London, William Walworth. A squire then finished him off with a sword into the stomach. The King, though a boy, called for calm and said that he would be the rebel’s new, natural and only leader and that they should have nothing to fear from him. The rebels then dispersed. Orders were given out to put down any rebels anywhere in the country by force. The remaining rebels in London were then driven out and other ringleaders such as Jack Straw and John Ball were found and beheaded. Their heads, along with Tyler’s, were placed on poles on London Bridge as a deterrent to others. The king immediately reneged on the Mile End grants and the Peasant’s Revolt was at an end.
Leader of the Peasant’s Revolt.
wat tyler was a badass young fella who led the peasant’s revolt in 1381, fighting against richard deuce’s tyranny and bullshit!

Walter Tyler commonly known as Wat Tyler was the leader of the English Peasant’s Revolt of 1381. He has absolutely nothing to do with snowboarding up until this competition.
