Contest Closed: Enter to Win a Dartmoor Bikes Blackbird Evo 27.5

 Same

 why tho? what's wrong with Instagram?

 @Asmodai: I don't have or ever intend to have an account.

 What is this insant grams you're all yapping about?

 @scott-townes: It's when a child is instantly good at an activity/sport. Instant Grom.

 It's when you take a picture that you like, and you put it on the line so others can see it. It's a hell of an idea.

 @stevemokan: I don't see that idea catching on anytime soon.

 @stevemokan: ooooooh I get it! Its kind of like Mine Space

 @egb81:
thats cool but why post about it? you seem to be proud about it which is kinda stupid

 yea pretty sure that shits blocked in N. Korea anyways

 i@Asmodai:
I'm just sad that I can't win this bike. I get why Dartmoor would create a competition in this format (it totally makes sense and I don't blame them, they make nice bikes and if were in the market to buy a new one I'd certainly have a gander), but I'm not going to enter purely on the basis the instagram thing, It's not a big thing, simply a grumble that I have to pass up an opportunity to win a lovely bike because I don't want to join a large social media thing. In an era of data abuse scandals I don't think I'm alone. I realise I'm not offering an alternative or doing anything constructive to resolve this issue but then I'm not a marketing man. If I was I'd be able to buy this bike and make you buy one too without resorting to these new-fangled picture things. I do wish Dartmoor all the best as they make some great bikes and have a great name (it's a a great place (I'm going to put the word great in some more brackets)).

 @egb81:
create account on secondary email, post one photo and then once you either win or lose delete account

problem solved

 Bingo. Don’t know why people don’t think of this. @Asmodai:

 @ejopdahl: so much effort to stay 'i dont have instagram' cool. pathetic XD

 Yep @nikifor88:

 Who in their right mind would downvote this beautiful comment.

 @MoonboyMTB: you just got yourself another follower...hope you're proud of yourself

 @upchuckyeager: you are the one that should be proud of yourself for that comment

 It specified "Behind Bars", it didn't say which! So you could take some sweet shots at the local pub with some nice views and send em' in!

 @shaun-ridefast-michael: with some Beer Bar Ends?

 @leopaul: or steal a bike, get arrested, take a pic 'from behind bars', win, do your time, ride your new dartmoor.

 right? so best case scenario, someone with a nice scenery and a good camera will win.

 yes all contest are rigged confirmed by PB comment section investigation

 @Asmodai: "WE will choose"=/=random(someone picks what he or she likes vs. a computer that picks random people), do it fair, random pick and if the people that won did every step, they're a winner, fair chance for everyone.

 @dudy:
picking winner is as fair as random
you put the effort you win

 @Asmodai: everyone does the same thing, goes out finds a nice spot and takes a picture, but not everyone in this world lives in a nice place or has a nice camera, that's what i was trying to say. But hey, their giveaway their rules, but it would have been nice if everyone had an equal chance, that's all. That's just my opinion, you have yours, let's just leave it at that. Have a nice day.

 @dudy: should there be participation awards at races too? Or is it still ok to say the first dude across the finish line won?

Good to know the best shot will win the bike and not a random fuzzy pic of a sidewalk taken with a potato.

 when you say call i assume you mean facetime or snapchat call? or send a DM?

 @tekin112000

wow you are such a special snowflake, you want "no social media" medal?

btw pinkbike is social media so please delete your account

 Yep huge irony @Asmodai:
