Wow, got to meet Catfish today at the TransJam BMX fest today.  He really lives an incredible life, and was great to get to talk to!!

So I laced up my first rim in quite some time this week. It is free when you buy all the materials from most online shops to build the wheel, but I wanted to do this one.  I think it has been about 10 years since I last built a wheel.  I don't have a truing stand, or even a proper spoke wrench, but used the ol method of putting it in the bike and taping an old spoke on the fork for a guide.  In then end, it worked out very well.  Hope to ride it tonight at CCBMX!

Shot out to Empire BMX for the idea of the photo through the valve hole in the last picture!

Wow, it has been awhile, might try to give this a go again, with updated pumptrack and BMX action.
