The guy literally won the war but can’t just relax or even properly cash in. It’s really just sad at this point.

Paul Sadoff not impressed with PVD

The guy in the polka-dot kit was everywhere and was pretty crazy on the bike ride, taking reckless chances on the bike without a helmet. I’m amazed that he survived the ride and the show.

Saturday started out just as slow as Friday and I began to wonder about the health of this show until about noon when all of a sudden the people showed up and the entire venue filled to capacity.

Everyone was standing in line for brunch.

I love the idea of never referring to PVD by name again
“The guy in the polka dot kit”
“The guy with that weird bike”
“The guy with the broken handlebar”
“That guy who’s always crashing”

DKlein and Prolly in the same vlog:

Where in Prolly claims he was the first to … use a stick to prop up a bike and photoshop it out for the floating bike effect.

Meanwhile, every bike catalog designer from the 90s wants a word.

What a novice. I hung one of mine off a clothes line 20 years ago and twinked out the rope on the negative and hand coloured it.

I remember a letter in BMX Plus! asking how they took photos of the bikes without stands. They responded, “Someone holds it and jumps out of frame before we take the picture.”

Just gotta move fast.

Prolly really think he did everything first doesn’t he? What a weird ego that dude’s got.

…put the drive side pedal forward.

I was waiting for “…and that’s when I decided that the main picture of the bike should be from the drive side. More than that, if you look closely at all of the pictures I’ve taken of bikes with doubles, you’ll notice that they’re all in the big ring. I think that comes from my experience of being an architect. The front door is always in the middle of the front of the house and the big chainring is like the front door so that’s where I want to draw the eye…”
