I dig the the craftsman that love building bikes as much as riding em’. here are a couple videos that I’ve come across in the last couple weeks that were passed on to me. This first one is just fucking fantastic to watch- beautifully done. It’s a must see…

This second video is really amazing to watch also. You can tell that Sean Walling, owner of Soulcraft doesn’t fuck around when building a frame and either does his Michael Evans with his filming skillz.

That first one, the Kimura one, is all things awesome. We’ve been watching it at work for a couple of months ’cause we produce videos like that for some clients. I sent it off to Stevel at AHTBM. Cool to see that it’s making the rounds – so applicable in the bikes context.
Rad Krosm, I had a art director send it to me last night and it blew my mind- very well done. Probably gonna be watching it a few more times like you have been doing. I’ve been playing around with that style of video work also.
Look for more info on Shinya…he a fucking genius. He re-purposes old moto and car parts for his bikes. That’s an old exhaust manifold on the bike in the video. Mad skills…
If you like Shinya,check this dude out: http://www.chicara.com/
Videos like that make me want to weld stuff and make stuff… Ahh well, back to working on shop prodjects for the Man.
…two vids = two exquisite journeys…thank you…
Have posted these vids a couple times lately..awesome.
Nahbs… Two weeks… Richmond last year was ok but I expect Austin to have a lot more going on….
I cannot wait for NAHBS. It’s going to be a good break from school. Any DC’ers who are going, get my email from BJ, and I can show you some trails. (that is if you don’t mind riding with someone who’s just coming off the couch, er office chair…)
i highlighted the kimura exhaust manifold for a tailpipe bike a few months back. that video makes me cry like mary & joseph on christmas.
