Scraper bikes

Watch "Scrapertown", it's amazing;

Would it be completely nuts for someone from Bikefest to invite this Tyrone Stevenson, Jr. (baybe Champ) to Pittsburgh? Maybe do a scraper bike clinic at free ride? I'm just throwing out ideas. I would contribute toward getting a plane ticket for this guy.

there was a film(the name escapes me) at the Bicycle Film Fest last Summer about a different crew of these kids, and Champ's commentary from this clip edmonds posted absolutely nailed my feelings on the subject.

for whatever reason, this stuff moves me in a major way.

I have tons of scrap vinyl in tons of different colors that would be great for some scraper bike rims.
