 AND HERE WE GO!!!!!!!

********************************
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we ride at night or pick up a spade
And in our world of plenty we can shred the trails with lights
Slide on your ass, through the mud, IT’S CHRISTMAS TIME!!
But say a prayer, Pray for the punctured ones
At Christmas time, changing a tube, is never fun!!
There's frozen limbs and fingers
It’s a case of dread and fear
When the beads froze to the rim
Reducing them to tears
And the squealing brakes that ring
there, are the groaning sounds of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of yooouuu!
And there won't be bright, dry trails, this Christmas time
The greatest gift we’ll get this year is strife, ohhhhhh
With prices never low
No summer trail flow
Do we like our Christmas time at all?

Here’s to us, hating on carbon and gravel
Here’s to us, wanting “Alu” and more travel
We don’t care it's Christmas time at all!

Feed the trolls

Feed the trolls

Feed the trolls,
We don’t care it’s Christmas time
Feed the trolls,
We don’t care it’s Christmas time

FOR THOSE THAT HAVE JUST FOUND THE ADVENT!!
I believe some have only found the contest in the last 48 hours or so. Therefore all the jingles for those that missed them and requested them are below, hopefully they made a few of you smile (I think my favourite is todays and would love to hear if you had one too) Beer

********************************
We don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing we need
We don't care about these prizes, always here just filling our feed.
We just want to know this time
That “Outside” get to heed this sign
Make our wish come truuuuuue!!
All we want for Christmas ……..
Is a f*cking winner, that’s not new….
Ooooh Levy
**************

Last Christmas I gave you my deets
But the very same day you sold em away.
This year, to save me from spaaaam,
I won’t enter the comp-e-tition.

Last Christmas, I clicked it up and sent em.
With a hope, that my song would not offend em.
Tell me Brian, do you now despise me?
Well, another new winner, it doesn't surprise me.
**************

The cold wind is blowing and the trails are getting dark
I'm trying to troll Henry and I don't know where to start
Our details are being dispersed by the server from “Outside”
We all get a little antsy every year around this time
The advent giveaways open everywhere including Italy
The prize won’t be appearing under a regular users Christmas tree
Prizes being cleared up from accounts that are new…

All we need is a prize for the few..

We wanna know, ……
Why old accounts won’t show…
We try every year this time ….
Never winning at Christmas

**************

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the old five tens, soaking wet once again,
When they’ll be dry, nobody seems to know!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
All we want is more!
But the nastiest sight to see
Is the new user that will be
Behind the winners door

An ugly emtb and a spandex suit
Are the wishes of Seb and Mike
Something to print, whilst still looking mint, to nerd at on Brian’s bike.

And a winners still waiting for their 2015 Rockshox Pike!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
All we want is more!
But the nastiest sight to see
Is the new user that will be
Behind the winners door

**************
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the advent is so delightful
And since I’ve no place to go
Let me troll ! Let me troll! Let me troll!

Man I’ve got no plans of stopping
So grab some corn for popping
The morality’s turned way down low
Let me troll! Let me troll! Let me troll!

When I finally have it in sight
The advent makes me wanna scorn
With the new accounts taking flight
A new hateful jingle is born!

Hopes of winning are slowly dying
And the subscription prompts are trying
But I’m never gonna stop this show

Let me troll! Let me troll! Let me troll!
*************

Are you hanging up a helmet on your wall?
It's the time that every rider has a fall
Do you ride on ice with no fear?
Do you end up on your ass?
Are you longing for these awful days to pass?

So here it is, Merry Christmas
Hardly anybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
We can’t wait for the sun

Are you waiting for the summer to arrive?
Are you sure you can last that long without a ride?
Does pinkbike always tell ya
That new standards are the best?
And then change their mind from one week to the next

So here it is, Merry Christmas
Oh the trails are full of slop
Look to the future now
My brakes no longer stop

*********************************
There’ll be a new account winner, this Christmas,
There’ll be a new account winner, this Christmas,
Past thoughts of dread, drift right through me,
Won’t be the same, if it’s not a new account winner to see.

And when these new accounts, start winning,
Is when our, painful memories, start swimming,
Outside’ll be doing alright,
But their subscription we will fight,
Due to the new,new,new winner this Christmas.

*********************************
Quinney baby, just slip a Maxima under the tree for me
Been an awful troll this year
Quinney baby, so hurry down the trails tonight
Brian baby, a 64 degree head angle Evil too, light blue
I'll wait up with a beer
Brian baby, so hurry down the trails tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Whilst sitting in this bar getting constantly pissed
Next year I could be just as bad
If new users win our advent list
Levy baby, I want a pricey Commencal Supreme, bright green
Been a troll all year
Levy baby, so hurry down the trails tonight

*********************************
Mikey Kazimer is the name to say
Reading a enduro field test today,
He’s the guy that will send the bikes
In to the air, where pine trees sway
Here we know that Kazimer will be fresh and bright
Shredding enduro by day and writing up at night
Mikey Kazimer is the name to say
When enduro tests are due!

*********************************
Advents here, are you listenin'?
At “Outside” they’re conditionin'
Won’t stay out of sight
Let’s keep up the fight
Trolling whilst avoiding being banned

Jingle words need to be heard
Whilst avoiding being absurd
Mods will demand
That text will be scanned
I’m Trolling whilst avoiding being banned

“Outside” mods have a face that’s dead-pan
We'll pretend that they can take a joke
They’ll say, "Are ya serious?"
We'll say, "No, man”
But you’ve got to listen to your long term folk
Later on, we'll conspire
And avoid a ceasefire
To face unafraid
These jingles we've made

Trolling whilst avoiding being banned

*********************************
Trails are calling
It’s bloody icy
f*ckin freezing
Not having fun

It's the season
For my gut to start expanding
Merry Christmas everyone

Time for riding, surprise it’s raining
And now it’s forecast, all day long
Time for sliding
And catching influenza
Gonna be bed bound, all week long

I’m gonna have manflu tonnniiight
I'm gonna find that lemsip underneath the kitchen counter
And be asleep by candlelight

*********************************

My mood is shite
The advents f*cked
I’m drunk tonight
I’ve had enough

Simply, creating, new accounts at Christmastime
Simply, creating, new accounts at Christmastime

The race is on
The hate is here
That only comes
This time of year

Simply, creating, new accounts at Christmastime
Simply, creating, new accounts at Christmastime

The police cars are here and sing their song
nee naw-nee naw
nee naw-nee naw

I’m in a cell
For abusing beer
It always happens
This time of year

Simply, creating, new accounts at Christmastime
Simply, creating, new accounts at Christmastime
***********************
Oh, yeah
Trails are runnin slow
It’s Christmas time ya know
Lots of mud around
Always stoppin our flow
Multiple accidents
Always hittin the floor
All these things and more
(all these things and more)
Means every Christmas I am feeling sore!
(Advent wants me trolling more)

*************************************
It was December 24th on the trails in the dark
When I see a man stylin on his bike ridin park
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear
Thought it was a bike, it was a f*ckin reindeer
But then I was illin' because the man had a beard
And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared
So I turned my head a second and the man had gone
But he left his driver's wallet smack dead on the ground

I picket the wallet up then I took a pause
Took out the license and it said "Bad Santa Claus"
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G's
Just enough to buy a Yeti or ten YT’s

*************************************
I'm riding home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to drop my feaces
I'm riding home for Christmas, yeah
And I’m holding it inside!
And I’m unsure, if i can hold on
To make it there
To drop my load
And flush it all away
Riding on my bike
Riding home for Christmas

It's gonna take some time
Unsure if I'll get there
Stop the show, I’m turtling!!
Oh, I’ve got to quickly make it home
But soon there'll be a toilet, yeah
Get my ass on that holy throne

And I cry so hard
But you can’t hear me
Scared I’ll “shart”
Oh I’m there nearly
Riding on my bike
I’m riding home for Christmas

*************************************

(Christmas) the days countin' down
(Christmas) I'm watchin' em fall
(Christmas) lots of prizes around
(Christmas) new users, please leave em alone

The pinkbike advent prize draw
Needs something writing in law
'Cause old members are living in fear
Never winning anything each year


(Christmas) This shits always free
(Christmas) I'm watching it go
(Christmas) a new winner I see
(Christmas) new users, please leave em alone

*****************************

Feigning hate and some sighs
At the prizes we despise over mulled wine, with you
On the 21st day
Of the 12th month, the new users are winning, you know it’s true
How we cling each Noel
To that snowflake's hope in hell
That it would end
Please let the advent end
Christmas time
Just let me hate in peace

*****************************

Users we've been here before
We know this contest, we know the score
I felt all alone and now I feel like I know you
Yeah, we gave our consent with a single click
Knowing we won’t win is making me sick
We know this advents cold and ever a broken - it cuts through ya


It cuts through ya
It cuts through ya
It cuts through ya
It cuts throoooouuuugh ya
*****************************

Welcome to my Christmas song
I'd like to fill you with some fear
So this advent I’m gonna wish
For, a winner that’s not new here
I'd like to sing about all the things
In this contest we’ll never see
So hop aboard the 26”er
Oh, cruise into Christmas with me
Cruise into Christmas
Let's join together
Hate on new winners forever and ever
Drink, drink and be mad
Troll along with me
Cruise into Christmas
The hate is free

 For 4k you could buy a yeti front triangle though. And you only need another K to complete the frame

 @AndrewHornor: Its like a carbon fiber weight vest made for dentists. Just what we need for Christmas! I bet if yeti had ext make the switch infinity link they could up the price a bit.

Good luck everyone and Happy Christmas

 Can I say that, if I manage to win this bike and the Whyte bike, I will give the Whyte to the first Brit who likes this post, after I'm announced as dual-winner. Just a humble colonist trying to make peace with the former overlords, and all that. Wink

  • 2 0
 What's up with that? Is it Quebec saying you can't play or do they have some crazy rules and prize giveaways just don't want to deal with it?
  • 3 0
 @DylanH93: I think it has to do with the French protection law (Law 101) in Quebec that prohibits advertisement that is in english only. It's pretty lame I changed my address with a friend that I have in Toronto.
  • 10 3
 @Mouette230: Pretty solid plan admitting you live in an area prohibited by the contest rules and that you changed your address falsely- on the website running the contest.

 @Mouette230: Quebec French is only understood by those from the land of Celine Dion. A few years ago a French friend of mine, raised just outside of Paris, was on a conference call with a Quebec based tech company. He finally had to say, “Hey, could you speak English, I be able to will understand you better.”
  • 4 1
 @Jeffcalderlark: We do have the ability to speak proper french, but yeah we can come up with a hell of a lot of jargon and expression that would make 0 sens to a Parisian if we are not paying attention and speak "Quebecer"

 Sorry to disappoint - the competition goes live in Europe way before you were out of bed... Seems to work on local time, so the home page is saying my yesterday competition but your today competition, but the banner ad says my today competition. And if I click on the yesterday home page comp, it takes me to today's! Too much for Christmas day?!
