 Am I missing sonething!! Only U.S and Canada!! Over 18!!! What next? if you have green eyes ! If its the postage I mean I could always meet half way..
I'm out. I break all the rules Frown

 I hope they change the rules because I have green eyes!

 I'll enter and if I win I'll ship it to you at your expense for free.

 Contests like this count as lotteries and have to follow regulations on lotteries and gambling.
  • 19 11
 Seriously? Negative propping pointing out the truth and facts?
  • 12 6
 I have green eyes too... LOL! MAKE IT INTERNATIONAL! What a discrimination! Everyone lost so many contests because of this rule, but i think everyone want to take part in such contests!
  • 5 1
 I think it has something to do with trade rules rather than those of KHS (or any other bike company)
  • 7 2
 While I don't know for sure, I'm willing to put down good money that the reason they limit these to 18 and over and to the US and Canada are mostly for legal and tax reasons. Transactional costs to comply with all the legal and tax obligations attendant to a prize winner overseas may be more than the cost of the bike itself. And/or, their marketing focus may be more limited to the US and Canada (though that seems dumb to me). Just mey 2 cents...
  • 9 2
 Is it really such a suprise that a Canadian website took an American Contest from an American bike company and made it limited to the USA and Canada?
Relax guys, there will be more contests.
KHS has their reasons. They didn't do it "Just cause" or for discrimination purposes.
  • 8 4
 It could be worse... americans have to pay income tax on lottery winnings, contest prizes, and so forth. If a US citizen wins the bike, they're gonna be on the hook for the value against their income tax.

 I'll offer my address to anyone who wants to enter that live outside the US and Canada. I can guarantee delivery to you if you win. However, I can't grantee when that will happen or that your bike will be received in 'new' condition. Wink

  • 10 1
 I'm pretty sure the reason this contest is only in NORTH AMERICA because of the company's distribution. And people, don't get upset and call UNITED STATES citizens arrogant or fat or anything of those likes because this contest includes Canada and Mexico also and we didn't choose to make this contest and I bet KHS has a good reason for the contest only being in NA

 Contests like this USED to have to include a skill testing question... which was usually math based because they assumed people could read & write already if they were entering contests... apparently in the UK that hasn't ever been required.
  • 6 0
 alternative meaning of "simply predigest":
a term used to describe the behavior of others who are often stuck in old ways and partake in discrimination, to behave like someone from before the 1850's aka the pre digestive era (the time when the digestive biscuit was invented see-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_biscuit)

KHS makes nice quality bikes and they and this is for visibiliy and marketing. They were probably wanting to increase their share of the north American Market.

I personnaly dont ride a KHS right now but its not because I would not like to. Its because we seldom see them in Quebec stores.

So you can basically participate in the contest regardless of where you are, provided you can have it shipped to a friend or family's address in US/Canada.

 Deeeight is correct, Aside from the actual governing laws, there are very specific sections of the internal revenue code (u.s. tax code) that will disallow companies from conducting operations in foreign countries and even states (unless they want to get hit with paying a HUGE tax).

For example, a few years ago a company for whom I worked on their SALT (state and local) returns ended up having to pay an additional $200,000+ in taxes due to an employee that worked in a state where they had no physical presence. Because they generated income, even a small amount from that particular state.

 in Canada and US the bikes are too cheap.... make this international because i can't buy a Kona Entourage or a Specialized Status that here costs 5k dollars the basic ones....
  • 2 1
 Hey bud try using your head. Most bikes here in the US are well over 5k. The cheapest new bike would be a statues for about 4,500 which is pretty close to 5k. As for a entourage, that's about 6k here.
  • 2 1
 Dude an entourage runs for 5-6k here.
  • 1 1

 The Status and Entourage both retail for around 2700 here, there is no way they should cost more than that.... The entry level Demo is 4500 so an Entourage for 6000 would be ridiculous.
  • 1 1
 You my friend live somewhere where bikes are dirt cheap. In my home town an entry level demo 8 2 that has been demoed by a shop for 2 years. But yes the entry level demo 8 is 4,500 but when you factor in shipping and build expenses it's about 5k. As for the status and entourage, I could buy a 11 status at my local shop for 2800 and it has been used for 2 years and I'm positive the entourage is at least 4750 at the entry level
  • 2 1
 Thats funny cause I find most bikes are more expensive in Victoria than other places I have been. You might want to change shops if they're charging for shipping and building of new bikes. Also the Status is new this year where would they get a 2011?
  • 3 0
 Well that's because it's Victoria.
Bike shops aren't expensive in Victoria unless you're buying Carbon Road bikes or road bikes in general. I lived there (langford area) for beyond 3 years and I can tell you we get rooked further up north after the shipping/handling costs are put into the sales price. The shops have to do it to make an income.
The status will run for 2,900 or 3,500. That is expected. But the Entourage always runs for 5-6k, at least up here it will. A Demo will easily go for either 6-7k depending on model. Sometimes even 8k!

A chevrolet camaro is 125K dollars here and the Specialized Demo s-works is 18K... ( how much is a Demo Carbon 1 in vancouver? )
  • 1 1
 Ok I'm pretty sure you're the one complaining about prices. And if you expect me or anyone else to believe that a demo one carbon is 18k have fun. On the specialized website it's only 6,600 and Cuban money has the same value as American money. Sure they may have to ship it to a shop there, but that cannot add more than 200 dollars to the price, not 11,400 dollars extra. I have no idea where you come up with these prices but they are total crap, learn your bikes.

I'm still waitin to win my lucky 7 Smile

 @epavich maybe the Entourage DL? you cant charge 5000 for a bike with domains on it if youre only selling the status for about 3000. Also while bikes are not bad here (lots of shops = competitive pricing) south of the border gets way cheaper. Also I work in a shop, that carries both Spec and Kona, we dont charge shipping or a building fee.

 Well it is not stop complaining about the prices is the people complaining about what i said.... ( see the links below )

www.specialized.com/br/pt-br/bikes/mountain/demofsr/sworksdemo8carbonteamreplica ( but people are selling here for 32K reais )

 Good point. But i still will never believe they cost that much. They would NEVER sell any bikes if they charged that much. It would be cheaper to buy one in America and ship it over there, which is what everyone should do. You can't charge more for a product in one place than in another, no one in brazil buys from the website, and they know it. Those prices are ridiculous, maybe fake.

 No, these prices are the base prices, sellers should sell for that price less is "impossible"... ( i'm friend of local bike shop owner and know him for 15 years i see his buys, prices, taxes and everything since i'm economy and law student and sometimes i help him organize some papers and bills

 Yeah sorry Keeqan, I assumed we were talking about that version.
and I'm not talking about the building/shipping fees per se, but the bikes are all marked up naturally. Like any Retail Store.

 Contests like these have to follow laws governing lotteries and gambling, especially when its a high value price being offered.
