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.
Don't feel compelled to film, but if you do, we can certainly present it in a form that will be easy for others to find (or us to point to). We could slowly create a new video series in a sticky.
