Pinkbike closes doors and opens Moto website...ChainSlayer.com
by radek
Posted: Mar 31, 2008
It has been a great bunch of years running pinkbike.com and riding around on pedal bikes. Great memories and friends, but we must progress as riders to another level. The next level is Moto, DirtBikes, and ChainSlayer. Bigger jumps, faster bikes, and let's cut to the chase, hotter podium girls.
On that note we are now closing pinkbike.com and starting a new website called ChainSlayer.com
On that note we are now closing pinkbike.com and starting a new website called ChainSlayer.com
I can write a big story why we are closing pinkbike and switching to moto but I think the following pictures will speak for themselves. I hope you all join us on a journey into the future of "riding".
You can go on a ride to, shuttle up for a ride, ride for 20 minutes, then wait, then shuttle again, then ride again, yada yada yada. Or you can show up with your Moto, start your engine and ride all day, enjoying yourself, getting better faster, and not being a lame pedal biker.
Best of all, unlike on a DH bike no one will ever say to you "dude, where's the motor on that thing?". Um yeah, right here byatch.
It's easy to switch over to moto. Look at me. I ride in my mtb helmet, mtb jersey, mtb gloves, mtb pads, mtb mace vest.
Need some more reasons to sell the mountain bike and get a dirtbike?
It is clear why earlier today we cleaned out the Pinkbike HQ out of all mountain bikes and got things ready and made room for real bikes.
ChainSlayer will be just like Pinkbike but for Moto.
So in conclusion, pinkbike.com will be dead in a couple of days and the new website you should all visit is
http://www.chainslayer.com

yep, nice april fool joke. I remember when they tried once before by saying that pinkbike had been bought by another website... 
i dont think they would be mean enough to completly delete pinkbike as theres millions of pictures and thousands of users on it. they will probably just have two sites. well hopefully
Hehehehe, had me for a second there. But the "drunken cyclist" deal...I was really fooled by that. lol
jeez its about time pedal bikes are useless, i just hope someone will actually be willing to by stupid pedal bikes so i can sell mine and get a moto. SOOO pumped on the new site MOTO RULES lol 
ya f*ck i didnt even clue in till i actually read the article about how gay mountian bikes were..... and then snapped to... but the main page almost had me.
I'm gonna have to admit it it's my first april fools on here and i fell for it, although i did suspect osmething fishy.
got me too until i read the article lol good one guys haha only site i know of that would do something like this haha this place kicks ass
haha yeah realised it was april fools straight away, bet some people still fall for it though! better luck next year guys!

[Reply]
Yeah, good joke, but chain slayer would be a sweet site. I used to ride Moto and it would have been fun had it half the riding community that mtn biking has. Plus the blue site looks awsome.
The blue site does look pretty cool actually . Good joke haha , scared me for a little bit there . But since your moving on , I will gladly take that dumpster of bikes off your hands . Msg me back




i forgot it was april fools so when i first saw it i was like wtf, you still giving those bikes/parts in the dumpster away cause i'll take them
[Reply]
hahaha
every year I believed in april first joke
this year I knew that pinkbike will joke with something, so I don't get scared!

"...Or you can show up with your Moto, start your engine and ride all day, enjoying yourself, getting better faster, and not being a lame pedal biker." That's pretty funny.

haha thats a great idea. Not to change the site to a moto site, but to have another pinkbike site for moto
This and last years, drunken cyclist ones were 2 of your more believable ones. But the ponies one is definetly my person favourite.
Oh yeah. Consider me completely duped as well. May none of you EVER stop pedaling! Long live 26" bicycles. Funny, I just sold my enduro and a friend might by my cyclocross. Looks like I could finally own a gravity bike this year! So if you've read this far, I may soon be in the market for a small Devinci, RM Switch or Bullit with 7 & 7. Sans motor 
- Props to you all
- Props to you all
yeah ............i did get owned by this one.........good one guys.....i was like wtf at first hw is a motor better than pedals?....they prooved it in mbuk but yeah the bike was menna win but still.....steve peat won
i think we (the people who know its a joke) shouldnt have spoiled it, i wanted to see the reactions of all the noobs who belived it! haha
[Reply]
ya i dont think that pinkbike should give up what about the many people who join up evry year who dont know about it we shouldent spoil it for them... and i liiked the 1 2 years ago
[Reply]
i like the blues theme it more relaxing then red you should kepp it and put pinkbike logo back
I almost believe you nice try
they can be releasing a site for motos, dirt... but pinkbike the most visited web site of bikes in the world, close doors. XD thats a fat joke XD
[Reply]
[Reply]
wow i thought it was for real then i read all this stuff and i was like right its april 1st and i remembered last year that was not bad but this one i think had everyone going
this was one of the best ones yet props to pinkbike
this was one of the best ones yet props to pinkbike
So are they gonna make chainslayer? Personally I think it would be pretty cool I like motocross bikes too
[Reply]
yikes, I almost had a breakdown... A solid April fools day joke, at least I hope its a joke.. O man, what if... Aahhhhah
[Reply]
i was pwned by that april fools joke. it was a gooder i was pretty freaked out about pinkbike closing down.
[Reply]
[Reply]
[Reply]
I thought, you know, good april fools and all, but this sounds pretty legit, Radek, man i thought you were cool! whats up with this?
2 things were wrong with this. first, you wouldn't just throw away good bikes in the dumpster and second, you would be doing this because you wouldn't make a site called ChainSlayer. That's just too gay of a name.
thanks for spoiling it a*shole and whats wrong with the name chain slayer it sounds cool unlike mtbiker1
Came onto Pinkbike and was like ''nooooooooooo wtf dude'' Good going guys!!! That was pretty good!!!
[Reply]
wow i was about to shit my pants lol pinkbike going down i was about to seriously cry lol awesome!!!!!!
[Reply]
[Reply]
The Ponies were the best one for sure. I remember the site stayed that way for several weeks while the forum remained un-affected from day one........lets go ride our ponies!!!!
[Reply]
man, i was just about to come on here and spill my guts about how pissed i was about this but then i started ready the comments and it made sense now
Hey if your still planing on getting rid of that stuff in the dumpster i will be happy to take it off your hands 
[Reply]
Well that was close to a lawsuit,for some new Spidey Underoos(JK),lmao! I almost crapped myself,when i saw Pinkbike this AM! Good one guy's/girl's!!! You know your all off the christams list though right,lol!
[Reply]
this is a f*cking april fools joke bitches!! lmao trhey wouldnt diss mtb that bad if they switched cuz they still like it.!
[Reply]
[Reply]
i remeber the ponnies. and a pink bike style web site for moto would be awsome especialy a buy and sell section. But its still a good joke
i shit my pants. im looking at it like, they changed thier sit again? than i saw the moto part in the news and thought, WTF! and almost died. good one!
i would have been pissed if they deleted this site, you got me pretty good, i like the mountain bike podium lol its classic. im gonna have to check out chainslayer.com is it up and running now?
[Reply]
ya i would pissed off to. But i think pinkbike is a big part of biking to be closed down so i dont think it will happen anytime soon.

Thank god its a joke.

very nice. I missed april fool's day on pinkbike last year and before that, so this did surprise me. Pretty good though, and for the record, mtb jumps are way more manly than having a motor do all the work.
so pornbike.com....
so pornbike.com....
Yea I owned too. I was rationalizing why they would do this then it occurred to me that its the 1st.
oo man i almost fell for it then im like i wunna read what people have ta say abt this and im like oo its April 1st
[Reply]
so i totally went looking for that dumpster haha no such luck though too far away insted found my self on a sick new trail april fools day shred

I still like the Ponies one best. Just bought my daughter a bike from Giant called "the Taffy" all butterflies ect (Check it on their web site). I couldn't stop tinking about the ponies as I lay down the cash. This is good though. Love the podium shot. The "girls" in the MTB one don't have enough facial hair though!!
SUCKS,PinkBike is better,u cant run 2 site at 1 time or what the hell ?that`s suck,no more pinkbike,sucks all
,i dont know why u need that site !this is better.Run 2 site at 1 time and thats all,more pinkbike and chainslayer
Everybody that beleives that it will actully not turn back into Pinkbike.com must be very stupid. Theyve done it every year on april fools. And somtimes they dont update it right away.
wtf!, if they arent actually joking they are just ruining MTB!!!!!, no more pics, no more vids, no more free advertising, i swear every1 uses this site, they wont just throw it away, will they
[Reply]
personally i think opening a site just like they were saying would be a great idea, personally i started in fr/dh and now ride alot of mx too, wouldnt EVER want to see pinkbike go, but seriously think they should run both
