The time is now behind us. The Third Annual Torment Snow Globes have come and gone, and with a full week's worth of results to sift through, there was no shortage of affinities and write-ins to lose sleep over. Over 25,000 answers later, and the winners of the 2023 Snow Globes are here.
Thanks for commemorating your favorite riders, video parts, and films of the past year. Your votes do not go unnoticed, even if you thought you were slick by voting with multiple emails. Luckily IP addresses are a traceable, and our IT security team kept tabs on all of you that thought you could get away with the double, triple, (and overly audacious) quadruple entry. Turns out the only way to make up for it is buy a mag.
Now, with cheating out of the equation, there's only one other thing to address. So, as always, if there's any far fetched conspiracy theories centered around biased decisions or favoritism afterwards, at least we know who to turn to.
