boycotts generally only work when more than one person takes part

The way I look at it, VOD is a showcase of the best videos on Pinkbike. Kona put out a quality video, so it got VOD. Plain and simple. Further, all the guys at Kona (and most other bike companies) are riders themselves, so why should they be excluded from contention just because they happen to make a living from it as well? A rider is a rider. Yeah it's marketing, but you know every time you see an amateur video, and the riders sponsors come up? Yeah, that's also marketing. If it wasn't for marketing, this great community called Pinkbike probably wouldn't exist, and it certainly wouldn't be free.

yes, if the wheelbase was 120 stories long.

Definitely not one of the better VODs... But there's plenty of days for other videos

it's called sponsorship

It's a joke why doesn't anybody get that?

are you serious? CLEARLY a joke

you're an idiot

I don't know much about the quality of the brand, but their marketing department needs some dramatic improvement.

are you serious, did you not see how wet it was? Fire rating was probably low, and I'm willing to bet they had water and dirt ready as soon they got the shot
