I saw this. Pretty sure old mate who won the bike is good mates with the bloke that did the designs and is one of the bike park crew. He is on one of the videos they put out.. . His Instagram has him riding with the bloke who won the bike. Doublediamonddomz or sumthing. Suss as fuck. Its not like they did a proper raffle now is it ?
That's a bit unsettling - but you're right that the winner appears to be good mates with "doubleblackdiamond_dom" on Insta, who is one of the designers of the GVBP.
Suss as fuck, or just really lucky? I suppose the odds were good if you had backed them, with only 129 backers, and some of those clearly connected with the project, so probably a 1 in 120 chance!
He did at least donate to the funding drive. I don't want to post names here, but if you find that photo and the person tagged, that same person is in the donate list. Has anyone who donated here received their GVBP Pack?
I don't know if they're in breach of any laws as the entries were paid, not a free raffle, and with Crowd Funding things I think that bypasses traditional raffle laws. I could be wrong though.
I still really want this park to happen, but the cynic in me is worried...
