Last winter we started working with Specialized to create a customized Demo 7 for Follow Me. We didn't have a very good idea of what we wanted to do... all we knew was that we wanted something that looked good. Luckily for us Alain at Specialized is an expert at making bikes look good. When Alain was done we were super stoked on the design that he came up with.
Check out the custom Specialized Demo 7 that you can win if you order Follow Me from anthillfilms.com.
Problem is... ever since Specialized sent us a couple of the bikes (only 5 were ever created), they've just been sitting there in our office, all shiny and new waiting patiently for their new owners, taunting us as we slave away in front of the computers.
The other day we cracked. We had a new camera we were testing and thought it was a good excuse to get one of the bikes out to the local Squamish trails and give it a test run. You know... just to make sure everything was working properly and that it looked as good on the trails as it did sitting in our office. We're happy to report that it does. The light wasn't the best, but we put a few shots together so you can see for yourself...
Don't worry we didn't test the one that you might win if you order Follow Me from
anthillfilms.com... that bike is still sitting in perfect condition in the office. A constant reminder of what we'd rather be doing instead of working.
If you don't have a DVD or BluRay copy of Follow Me yet, order it now from
anthillfilms.com/buy and you will automatically be entered to win the bike...
you've got until December 31st before the deal ends. If you've already ordered a copy from our site then you are already entered - so good luck!
A HUGE thanks to Specialized for providing us (and maybe you) with such a beautiful bike. Visit
www.anthillfilms.com/buy for all the details.
Thanks!
Anthill

Can I get my Demo now?
My bike probably isn’t worth 5% of yours, or anybody else’s on this website. I take care of it though and work very hard for what I own. I work 2 full time jobs and freelance graphic design on the side and I still don’t have any extra play money to upgrade my bike. I still went to the site after watching the trailer to inquire on buying the DVD, saw the price and had to think about it. My fiancé saw me watching the trailer and I went on to tell her about the bike I had a chance at winning if I bought the DVD. She demanded that I buy the DVD so I could give myself a chance at winning my dream bike. I couldn’t afford to buy that bike, but if I won it I guarantee I would ride it until the wheels fall off!! I wouldn’t sell it for any price because I wouldn’t be able to purchase it again. This bike is 1 of 5 made!! I hope nobody would win this bike and turn around and sell it. Some people are like that though and have no need for a bike like this…they would just rather make money off the deal.
Anyways…everybody buy the DVD and give yourself a shot at winning! This is going to make someone's Christmas one to remember!
For Example : If shipping just the frame in box by FedEx would cost around $200 , the same thing would cost around $80 to $100 max by USPS international... and sometime maybe even less.
So it wouldnt have anything to do with shipping costs... would be crazy expensive for you though.
haha just saw you also have to be able to: " correctly answer (3x6) +12/2-8 = " Didn't realize maths was so important in bike winning
"No purchase is necessary to enter the contest. If you wish to enter the contest without purchasing the DVD/BluRay simple write a minimum 1,000-word story about the best experience you ever had riding your bike with your friends. Email the story to info@anthillfilms.com before the contest close date."
Too bad I just started riding seriously/a lot and I don't have any good stories to tell.. So I'm double screwed!! Guess I'm not meant to win the bike.. haha Just have to laugh I guess.
Sincerely, your LBS and Film supporter.
First, GREAT DVD!! (watch it all the time).. Second, My statement I posted 5 or so min after my first one(Directly below this) I stated that I read the rules and regulations and pointed it out to everyone that there is a second way of doing it. My problem is what I stated below and I don't have any good stories cause I have just started riding seriouly and I live in freaking Kansas!! haha I have integrity and moral values about not lying so I'm not going to make up a story that never happened.. So I'm still out of luck.

First, I understand the whole ramping up the sales thing, that's fine and all but you said you still see where we are coming from. Well it kinda makes the consumer feel shitty when he's already bought a product then doesn't get TREATED the same as someone that just bought it. Maybe some of us don't have another person(that is interested in this type of stuff) to buy this film for.. Second, on your second statement don't be a TWAT and LOOK at the next statement directly under me and see that I had wrote another statement 5 or so minutes after my first one and READ IT..
The other thing that DOESN'T make sense at all is your letting ANYONE (even people who haven't bought the film) write a story to be entered.. So that means that someone that didn't even buy the film or SUPPORT Anthill (YOU) could win the bike.. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE!?? ((I would bet everything that I have that the bike will go to someone that didn't buy a DVD, unless you rig it so it doesn't and just use the stories as future ideas)) So if you were trying to get more sales of the film because of this "you could win a bike" its now going to backfire completely because your opening the drawling to everyone. I'm surprised that you guys didn't state a long time ago that you were going to have a drawling for the bike and it was only eligible to people who bought it from you.. Then you would have seen more money come directly to you.. A LOT MORE MONEY. And I know you would have liked that, because then you could make another KICK ASS film that is even bigger and better (plus have a little extra cash in your pocket)!
Darkstar--
Your not a twat. Its just frustrating when you see these kinds of things since I grew up with my dad being a business teacher at a university (which he has a PhD in). I know my chances are small on winning the bike, its just the fact that I stated above in this comment that I'm a little frustrated in.
I'm sure Anthill is not trying to rip anyone off...
They're just doing what every other company does around this time of year.
Look at PS3 and Xbox's. Let's say you buy a 60GB version for $300, then several months later Christmas time rolls around and you see a 120GB for the same price. This happens ALL, THE, TIME around Christmas...
preordered and paid my copy over 2 months ago and still did not receive anything!!!!!
Not even an info when it will shipped out and then also everyone who has ordered over pinkbike dont even get a chanche for winning the bike!??
For this whole problems and waiting, every customer should get at least a chanche to win this bike!
For you your customers are nothing worth! :-(
Hasn't anyone noticed that you can enter the contest without even buying the movie? It's on their website!
You have to write 1000 words about the best riding experience you've ever had and email it to them. Therefore, EVERYONE gets a chance to win...
Man some of you guys are serious whiners. Change your diapers and write 1000 words if you want a chance to win!
