 Hello DCA, before you start your nonsense, consider not doing that.

 I wonder if they put a kidnapped girl in there just to troll him

 @FloridaHasMTBToo: He's obviously a troll and is very very talented at winding people up. I think everyone knows he's a troll now so the point is kinda lost BUT everyone keeps taking the bait

 Most people know that YT stands for YouTube. Man this company makes alot of stupid marketing decisions.

 Is the PB comment section hivemind usually right, or wrong? DoubleCrownAddict is almost universally hated here... which makes me think he's on to something

 @onemind123: I'm surprised by the lengths PB commenters will go to defend a bike brand's whose main product seems to be its marketing. Looking back at DCA's original blog posts, I mean, there sure are a lot of skulls and lightning bolts and runes... Are YT the baddies? I have a feeling DCA will be vindicated one day and future PB hivemind will look back wondering how the comment section was so universally against someone telling the obvious truth
  • 24 0
 @fjopsys: I don’t think people have to think very hard to figure out why DCA is so universally disliked. And I doubt time will be kind to his laughable posts.

He accuses pro riders of being nazis (Vali Höll). Thinks any type of skull is a “punisher” skull (because he can’t tell the difference). Thinks antlers are racist symbols (wtf). Thinks that all Nordic imagery is racist because the nazis stole some of it. Thinks that the Austrian coat of arms is a nazi symbol (lol). Thinks owls are a racist symbol (again, wtf). If you point this out, he either calls you a racist, deletes your comment, or deletes his photo.

On top of that, he has a habit of direct messaging people to further harass them if they don’t engage in his BS. I think the pinkbike community has this dude pretty well figured out.

 @TypicalCanadian: I dislike yt because when they entered the Canadian market they had the audacity to use one of our national animals as their marketing campaign.

 No please don't summon him. He's way worse than Waki

 @DoubleCrownAddict: In fact you're right. The bike company should use "YTI". On some bikes they even have YTIND decals...

 I'd I am not mistaken, the money that could be spent on customer services well as RND went to a full length movie that duals as a bike ad. Great.

 It's like Disney-created Star Wars - high budget crap.

 Customer service has never been close to a top priority for YT. They are all about marketing to dumb white trash-type males who think E13 makes awesome components and that primarily care about price and how the bike will look on top of their sports car for their Instagram posts.
  • 12 15
 @DoubleCrownAddict: what's wrong with e*thirteen?

 @DoubleCrownAddict: I ride a YT, drive a Ford Ranger, and hate E13. Don't judge a group of people by their cover.

 @DoubleCrownAddict: @DoubleCrownAddict: I'm 45, upper middle class & drive a 2021 GMC AT4. Sometimes I use a tailgate pad, other times I use a KUAT. I also don't drink monster energy. I only use instagram to look at hot chicks now and then. Yet I have a YT.

Brahahahahaha! I guess I'll bite (again).

None of the riders I see regularly on YTs fit that profile. And FWIW I've had pretty good luck w/ e13 tires.

Still scared about frame quality tho.

 @DoubleCrownAddict: Saaaaaayyyyy... I'm a white trash male with a sports car! Tell me more bro! Please recommend the best bike to get max likes on the 'Gram! Preferably ones without derailleurs - tyvm.

 Strange they spent so much money on this weird promo video considering how little pro’s get paid going off the recent pinkbike article.

 Free advice: spend a little more time on customer service and less on goatman. My friend cracked his '21 Capra carbon frame recently and customer service wont pick up the phone or answer emails on warranty. No response. Nada. Zip. WTF?

 Maybe the boyfriend pleading for help scene is a metaphor?

 I agree............... Less money on Movies and more money on costumer service and replacement parts(chainstays) in stock

 You sat through that whole thing? I made it to 3:11 without so much as a hint of a bike. Looked up and saw it was a 20-minute video and that was enough for me. That’s shit had me begging for them to bring back Walken.

 @ifindoubtflatout: Doesn’t sound like it got much better past 3 minutes, then. I’ll take your word. I cannot emphasize enough how flipping little I care to find out for myself after watching that. I don’t know what it was about the bit I watched, but I was actually getting angry about it. Yes, I know I might have issues, but damn.

 It's sad when your time's better spent going through the comments below the release video than actually watching the release video. Not gonna watch it.

 @ifindoubtflatout: I’m not a big fan of YT, so I won’t be buying one any time soon, and this video didn’t help picking me up as a customer.

 This is cool and all, but has YT ever considered making an actual bike video to announce their bikes?

 Isn't this the same company that has left tons of customers without support and replacement parts and they're jacking off in the corner making movies?

 Meanwhile Propain gave some frames to Remy and he has been shredding them like a champ.

This was utter and total P!$#.
If their bike (insert looks like an old Scott Voltage) is anything like this video then you would have to be mad to buy one.

Can I have my 22 mins back YT, you just ripped me off.
  • 8 4
 So boring !!!! Can't understand why they spend such an amount for this shit ! Maybe they earn to much money.....if you guys from YT don't know how to us it...ask the biker community !!! Creating trails or sponsoring female athletes, no female athlete in your "Family", shame on you guys!

 The use of violence against women in their marketing materials itself says a ton about the company and who they target as a customer.

 When a company spends too much on useless marketing and not enough on getting some stock. Only YT fanboys interested in buying the Capra would watch a 20 mins ads... which defeats the purpose of the ads. except pleasing some loyal followers.

 What happens if @DoubleCrownAddict is actually working for YT...and now that we're coming to all these YT articles to see his response, it's causing people to buy their bikes...and it's all secretly a cover so he can keep getting paid more and more...?

I dunno man, seems pretty plausible to me...

 Wow another satanic worshipping video. Will not buy or recommend YT bikes. They are catering to satanits, whom are getting wiped out pretty soon ...Bad marketing move. Whom are you going to sell bikes to? Satanist are poorest people, they serve like a slave, they don't live.
