I know I can make a lousy video. I want to make better than that and aim for slightly turdlike.

Good thing I don't listen to most people and tend to do my own thing.
I actually kind of enjoy the video stuff, even though I rarely ever have time or remember.
I am not talking some long drawn out build series here, just covering the overall work on the bike in a broad spectrum such as things to look for and do during assembly that are often not mentioned like relocating wiring that may get pinched and checking ground points, but also making stand alone videos covering some things that new riders/owners may be too afraid to do themselves.
One example would be a video on the front end. A video covering a basic fork oil change, and at the same time a video covering How to service the Hawk steering stem bearings, and why the grease they come with is total garbage. Some people can read books, but others need/want a visual aid.
Plus, no matter how you slice it, there were many people that had a hand in helping me out of a bad situation, and this is the only way I know how to pay it back and pay it forward.
Grabbing a camera to show what I am doing, or talk about why I am doing it doesn't take that much time. I am already meticulous when it comes to doing this kind of work. I spent 3 days off and on building my last Hawk. not all at once, but a few hours each, probably 12-14 hours in total.
