 Best way to stand out is to start setting up your booth and then immediately tear down and leave under ‘mysterious circumstances’ …

 @zoobab2: Yes it is! Heim is a straight up mad scientist genius, used to work at SRI back in the day, & sold Dave Weagle the patent to his 3 ring Heimguide back in 2008!

 Wanted to see a wheelie, but guessing no rear brake or coaster?
Love the concept though!

 I am the owner of the biatch cruzer and it was returned sadly for more swaging at sea otter.

 I know it's off topic but does anyone know what's going on with Friday Fails?
Specifically, the lack thereof?

 I've never understood Friday fails. maybe watching my best friend break his spine ruined my appetite for it somewhat but I'd much rather watch people doing amazing stuff to get psyched for the weekend than the complete opposite

 @brianpark: "Our uploader is being a giant pain. Dev team is working on it. Sorry."
I know the 'uploader' is probably a piece of software but this is more funny if you think of it as being a particularly recalcitrant IT employee.

 @GumptionZA: 100% - one has to be slightly demented to enjoy watching other's pain.

 @Hoeperjoe: I don't enjoy them for the injuries; I enjoy them for the learning opportunities. Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, right? So I'm particularly excited that Cathro's gonna be commentating them soon.

 the audio issue the regen ebike guy got is really a design flaw with the rhode mics. I've resolved to never put them on the edge of the collar, only the center. it's straight awful.

 Do not care for the Giro brand update. Did not care for the booth at all. The selection of products the featured was odd. The booth itself was one of the least inclusive booths I stepped foot in. It was like they didn't want people to look inside let alone come inside. Not one person spoke to me in there. Terrible. But this video... this video rips! Nice work.

 Best Sea Otter vid I have seen so far anywhere. 17/18. The only way to bet the full 18 is to release a second installment.
