 Jesse Melamed running in the parking garage with that boot cast on gave me a good chuckle. Heal up dude!

 Any promotion for a new Slayer should always play Reign In Blood as the background music.

 Unreal filmmaking @scottsecco, and surprisingly good acting from a bunch of mountain bikers! Must have taken a lot of takes Wink

This has me fired up, the riding shots that were in there were so precise ????

 This edit is a joke. Unreal film making? I see your post is too.

You & Rocky belong together Smile

 @m1dg3t: When's the last time you saw a creative concept for a bike ad that wasn't just plain bike porn, executed as well as this? Rocky's bike releases always come with super sick shred videos, and I bet you'll see one of those before too long. But till then, this is fun to watch and different from 99% of bike shit in a way that I think is cool.

 @PeterWojnar: It's lame. Straight up.

It is recycled garbage. Contains no originality. Good enough for the plebs I guess? LoL

 @m1dg3t: while I agree with that statement, it's misplaced here, IMO. This promo is entertaining and funny; it's half gag, half press release. The mtb industry is small enough that we like this kinda stuff and none of us are confused about what it is. It's not like they spent a ton of money hiring actors to make something dripping with marketing garbage. They did the opposite- they put their riders in a mock-horror film promo instead of some tech-garbled, bike industry marketing bs press release that we see every day with a handful of pros riding unreal stuff in perfect conditions on bikes you can't even buy. If you hate marketing, I would think you'd like this. Seems like a fun way to say, "hey we are releasing a new slayer soon" without inundating us with marketing garbage (eg "5.75% stiffer, 20% more compliant, uses six new standards that you neeeeed, buy this because your old bike is garbage now, etc etc")

 @trialsracer: No. It's lame. You can try to rationalize it all you want, and just because I get down voted and you get up voted doesn't change the fact that this is lame, unoriginal, recycled garbage. I aint no sycophant.

You can be content with complacency & apathy. Hell, you even pay more for it. Not me.

 Thinking it will be 29 since the enduro team races Instinct BC editions right? Maybe too much overlap in the lineup though, who knows.

 @cole-inman: its a freeride/ park bike 180 for 27.5 and 170 for 29

 @prodicker: do you know how much fun an ebike-style bike (built just like the ebikes are - as rad mtbs with a motor) with a little two stroke in it would be? Basically an $8k high end moped. You would piss EVERYONE off but c'mon, this is the stuff dreams are made of.

 Can we please go back to 2017 and get a Shimano Saint build on there with all those Fox Factory drippings? I cant afford to actually buy one, But a guy can dream, and in my dreams theres no SRAM products in sight.

 Great, blood and murder, good stuff? I hope they have options that are more reasonable then the last one, carbon only, 5200$ to start and you get a Yari, hmmmmm, a reason why when I sold my last Slayer I got a Slash. (also more murder names!)

 Yes. Speculation on forums is that its looks will be polarizing with a reinforced headtube area. But what do I know. I’m just a guy who owned a 2004 Slayer.

 @IceCoastRep: The bikes at the beginning had coil shocks and I know they are going back to horizontal shock design for this new Slayer 27.5 and 29. Could be them but maybe just Altitudes.
