Is it just me, or is it a bit disturbing that Jon appears to be holding a rolly or joint while discussing the bike?

Or am I just being petty?

Does look pretty stupid.

WGAS

Doesn’t bother me.

You’ve answered your own question. If it gives you a negative impression of the brand then it was pretty stupid.

I really don’t see what difference a cigarette makes to a review, would holding cup of tea be ‘disturbing’?

would holding cup of tea be ‘disturbing’

err, drinking tea and smoking are not ‘quite’ the same, eh?

Yeah, filthy tea drinkers going round ruining my air with their fetid herbal smells (like mint or chamomile).

ok, would holding a beer be ‘disturbing’?

Would holding anything actually be relevant to the review?

I also found it weird that he was holding a cigarette.

Tobacco advertising is so last millenium…

It just looks amateur doesn’t it. The cigarette thing isn’t really relevant, but what is relevant is that you’re talking about the fact he was holding something rather than a quite interesting bike.

Just looks a bit unprofessional is all – hardly ‘disturbing’ though.

More disturbing is that anyone would think that was a good place to ride a bike.

IMO very unprofessional. He looked like one of those kids you see outside schools with their fags on.

oh the horror, the horror

“won’t somebody please think of the children”

WGAS, get a life.

Edit, beaten by z1ppy

Muuhhhhahaha! 😀

o my god a man smoking, thats me finished with gt. 😯

Don’t really care about the cigarette, but it would be nice if they bothered recording the sound properly. AMATEURS

I agree about the sound it was rubbish.

It just looked a bit daft the ciggy.

if anything the tab made the GT cooler by association

Unprofessional on one part, but its got you all talking about the video, so it did its job.

On another note, i quite like the look of the bike, short travel at the back, and nice amount up front, worth another look!

Its working kids, everyones talking about it ! 😉

i’m gonna have to go watch the video now!

does looks a bit silly, maybe if he was riding a saracen and doing wheelies past the school gates.

Did he inhale?

nobody is talking about the bike.. therefore fail in my books.

They’ll be cracking from pauls cycles with 800 quid off in about 18months.

No worse for me than Gee Atherton (for example) swearing on MTBCut videos. THAT boils my piss, not because I care personally but kids watch these things and hence becomes the normal, even cool thing to so.

And FWIW I didn’t even notice the faaaaaaag

Crap video and sound, unprofessional. What was the singletrack team thinking? Unlikely to increase readership.

Has it been pulled ? It’s not loading for me … http://vimeo.com/23308149

I wonder if some ASA type ruling had it pulled. IIRC, it’s illegal to advertise using cigarettes and this could have been seen as some sort of product promotion.

+1. The whole video is actually pretty badly put together to be honest, horrible colour filters and stuff!
