Hey guys! I've been working on this project for quite some time; I ordered a Diamondback Trace Comp back in 2014 on Amazon. It was my first serious bike, considering I only ever rode department store BMX/Mountain bikes previously, I was totally stoked and I wanted to detail my experiences in building the bike, filming rides and installing custom upgrades. I've ridden on and off over the past four years, putting over 2,500 miles on it and I've recently decided to remaster all my old footage and start a new YouTube Channel.

Without further ado, let's bring it back to square one, delivery day:


I'll be periodically releasing new videos, leading up to present day and beyond, until the frame disintegrates. If you have any comments or suggestions for future mods, or want to critique my editing style, feel free! I welcome all feedback haha, thank you for being apart of this.

I would've definitely appreciated better packaging; paint scratches are not cool; let's build!

I managed to put everything together, trial and error! It was on this day, I finally knew what I was missing out on for the entirety of my youth..

What a summer.. what about you guys? What surprised you most after your first 1,000 miles? What did you learn?

Winter may have set me back; but not for long..
