this is so cool. I live down in albuquerque and had to call trent for some part. He answers the phone with just "Atomic" and i didn't figure out it was him til after we were done talking and i asked who it was. It's nice to talk to some straight shooters who are there getting their hands dirty rather than taking sponsor phone calls in the back office. keep it up bud
He's right. When you do what you love for money it does diminish it somehow. When you build a bike or design a shirt or paint or draw something for someone else as commissioned work, you are at their mercy. You'll pour you heart and soul into making something beautiful, but when the fuck who paid for the work comes to pick it up,...that bastard will change something,..just the smallest thing because he feels obligated to. Because he paid for it...
