1993 KX250 Animated Disassembly

I honestly cannot even begin to imagine the amount of time this video took. The video was awesome and I think you are going to have a fine little project on your hands (bike build and video editing). I'm excited to see more of this.

My god you’re talented. Just doing the sound effects and dubbing them in is impressive!

If only there was a site that could sponsor this, and pay you to do more. (HINT HINT)

Cant wait for the next one.

Very cool video. You're extremely talented, and patient. That was fun to watch.

Nice. I raced one of those bikes in 1993/94.

How the hell do you do this?! Love it. Great job.

Pretty cool!

I can't tell which I'm more excited for, the bike or the videos. Awesome work

Thanks for posting, Nick!

That was very cool

A+ Love it!!

How many days/hours did it take to make that video?

I kept track on this one since I get asked that all the time. This was about 170 hours all said and done.

Subscribed to your channel. That's different and pretty damb cool!

That was badass. Never seen anything like that! You could def run a step by step how to video site for working on bikes.

there's GOT to be some money in this somewhere.
Surely there is a part manufacturer that could showcase the "how-to" install video in such a cool way.

Just think of the free advertising for them - a how-to video on installing a new set of forks, and then the video itself gets shared around just cause of the cool factor.

Congrats, man - that was impressive.

Cool video. My guess is he had to either wear green cloak to be able to take out later.

Very creative. Thanks for posting your efforts.

That was impressive!

I think you're right, but the money making version of this would look a lot different than my current vision for this project. Hopefully I can still find some companies interested in partnering along the way where it makes sense.

After my first video Race Tech got a hold of me and is on board for the next video. At this point I'm a dude with very little social media following and my videos take months to make, so I'm thankful to them for rolling the dice to work with me. Particularly that they didn't make any special requests and just said "do your thing". Thanks Race Tech!

Hopefully the time spent to make difficult and unique videos will pay off with views eventually. I'm not really interested in doing the standard YouTube hustle that I find so annoying.

Maybe some time I'll do a "how it's made" video.

No green suit for my videos, it's mostly wires from overhead that get masked out later. For this one I actually had a rail made from unistrut overhead so I could easily move things out of frame.

Woah!! Dude that was incredible Nick! I haven't got the foggiest idea on how you even made that , but that was one of the coolest little video's I've ever seen when it comes to bikes. You have some pretty damn awesome talent in my book. Make more please! Whenever you get the time anyways.

Nick...did you used to ride at the indoor track Hindsightmx?

Absolutely incredible and very unique! I wish you all the best for the future, as others have said you are extremely talented and I really hope this takes off in bigger places than just Vital. You deserve a lot more credit than a moto forum and I for one cannot wait to see what you have in stall next!

I just blew up everyone’s phone with that video.

Pretty damn cool and you did a fantastic job editing that.

The coolest video I’ve seen all week. Awesome job!

That was awesome

Beer's on me.

Mike, Hillsboro.

It would seem like YOU wouldn't need the huge following - you would leverage it on THEIR following.

I would do another one similar to your shock rebuild one using a different part obviously. Show the variety of what you could do. I know these aren't easy to make, but if the cost was even close to reasonable, you could have part manufacturers lined up everywhere for this.

Heck, I know NOTHING about maintenance, but after the shock video I thought "This is the coolest visual way to show me how things go together".

Good luck.

PS - the part where the forks bounce off screen was my favorite - that's the part where I went "How in the HELL did he do that?" :-)
