Making a Velvet Bicycle... is Crazy Hard

[@alispagnola]

Who wants a barefoot ride on my fuzzy pegs?... Yes I put pegs on my bike as an adult

[@MA5HAP]

so, where is the livestream of names?

[@klasandersson7522]

I´d absolutly LOVE to take a ride on your fluffy bike! Buuuuut there are two "small" obstacles in the way. 1: I live in Sweden. 2: I´m in a powerwheelchair so no peddaling or steering for me! 😄 Awesomely useless project, I fully support such nonsence and encourage you to keep doing these thing in detail!!! 😘

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

Ali, the whole process is the best part, not the end result.

[@blueman46]

yes lol, be interested to see if the flock will rub off on your feet? or not? lol

[@tacticalpoet]

You make me want to flamingo up my Rayleigh Stride 2...

[@emoobeth]

please don't ever cut down your process in your videos! I love watching you figure out how to overcome the obstacles. I love seeing your creativity achieve super unique and insane awesomeness. and, oh, the puns!

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

It's the best part.

[@amydriver2701]

Agreed!!

[@steffmiller8505]

Agrred! Please don't cut the time down!

[@DudditsXCII]

This!

[@Odin029]

In for a penny, in for a pound as they say.

[@niklaswejedal463]

I just realised why I keep coming back to your videos: you show the whole process, including running into problems and the subsequent problem-solving that sparks new ideas, and not just the edited down straight-to-the-result type of video. That's the content I want - intellectual, creative and arty.

[@spiritedaway0tutu]

I absolutely adore seeing the whole process. So many creators show short burst and jump cuts and remove anything that doesn’t immediately catch the attention of everyone in a 6 mile radius. You don’t do that. Your art, your videos, your work, your *personality,* all feel *genuine.* You make your art because it’s fun, because you want more outrageous in this world. Not for money, for fame, but simply because why *not.* Please never change that. We will always be happy to hang around for the ride.

[@bethgodley2930]

I also have a sensory aversion to velvet, and the best way I can describe it is it feels like the sound a balloon makes when you squeak it. Your bike is beautiful and outrageous and I hope never to touch it!

[@JoseRodriguez-lk7vs]

I hate velvet

[@bagandbroad]

That’s how I feel about microfiber. Blugh!

[@stardustjustlikeyou]

Ali, that plastidip type rubber coating you used on the handles can actually be used by itself to make a fuzzy coating. I've done it on accident many times! For the first coat of it you want 50% coverage and let that dry to get the rubber something to stick to for the following coats. Normally you want to spray fairly close and thick so the rubber can pool up and settle but if you spray too far away and light coats, some bits of the rubber will dry while being sprayed in the air and land on the not dried stuff and create a fuzzyish rubber coating.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

"Oh, I'm sorry, did you miss all of the not-smartness leading up to this?" One of the best lines. :).

[@InwardSeaward]

I’d love a year in the life of Christine video just here silently scowling as your destroy her world with your projects yet also hypnotize and dazzle her into loving you anyways.

[@SmilingHorror_8D]

As a multi media artist, I always choose epic news over practicality. Absurd art truly lasts forever.

[@annikad.4991]

I just finished watching the whole Chia Pet "Saga" again and saw that you uploaded. You never fail to brighten up one's day ESPECIALLY by showing the whole process! Thanks for all the content & stay outrageous - Greetings from Germany!

[@ecchikitty1395]

I like seeing the process. You're a Maker. The process is what matters. If this was a Spectacle channel, could just have someone else build your crazy ideas. Which is a valid option, but an entirely different way of doing things. Keep doing you.

[@Julaeable]

I love that you are a real person that shows the struggle of the creative process. As a fellow creative person it has helped me overcome self doubt more than once❤❤

[@beth24421]

I'm an artist myself. I love learning new techniques and watching others outrageous and crazy artworks.

[@Bingodagoat420]

Then subscribe to her and hop along the crazy ride of strange artworks that will (hopefully) be remembered forever! 🎉

[@althejazzman]

21:53 "Let's flock n roll". I definitely didn't mishear that!

[@gregthorne4292]

This is what I watch Ali’s art videos for - despite not having the proper tools, a proper workspace, and using leftover materials, yet manages to produce amazing results.

[@Winnyao]

I've read the other comments before commenting and I agree with everyone who has pointed out; we (including me!) love seeing the whole process!! Thank you so much for all that you do! .....NGL, Everytime I see you need an extra set of hands, I wish I had a working teleporter to go and help and then leave ya be so i domt interrupt the creative flow

[@capedkat]

The Zebra print was the best call ever! Not only did it add to the outragiousness, the camera loved it! Just like Cristine I could feel it with my brain too and I think it is epic! Much love from the Netherlands ☺We love bikes!

[@elleryrhodes8818]

Your videos are top notch BECAUSE you show the fumbles and bring wild concepts to life.

[@jadaw4981]

I love the whole process! If you didn’t have it I’d constantly wonder how you decided to do things haha the whole process quenches my curiosity

[@kirisviel]

If you made your videos without the process it wouldn’t be an Ali video! The way you troubleshoot never fails to impress.

[@alexajordan2032]

Christine! I have a sensory aversion to velvet too! I kept asking myself why I was watching this, since I would hate it in real life, but here I am 😅

[@scarletlightning565]

You and Colin Furze could REALLY be twins: you do art, he does machines and you're both OUTRAGEOUS!!

[@stormRed]

The struggle is the best part 😊

[@skeletized]

absolutely insane thing to do, i love artists

[@behindthemistakes]

We don't want clickable videos, we want ludicrousity 😍

[@Dolls4Life13]

It looks outrageously furr-tastic!!

[@forkestgrump]

See Ali, so many of us will watch ANYTHING you put out. No matter the timeline, no matter the project. Never dampen your artistic vision in the name of time or clicks, we’ll love you and the art regardless

[@brielle.b]

I went to the comments to say how much i love the long process and if i wanted something different I would go to tiktok, but it seems like everyone is on the same page!

[@davespangler9125]

Oh my goodness Ali, that is GLORIOUS. I think the only thing that is missing is taking it back up to the bike shop to get their reaction.

[@anthonymartelli6091]

I love how you always question your life choices! 😂😂😂

[@oceanz55]

Heya Ali! I discovered you through the Secret Santa videos a few weeks ago and I think I have watched about 75 videos since! You are AWESOME.. keep being you!!

[@alispagnola]

YOU’RE awesome!

[@sonnybobsquarepants266]

We Pal-ies did not click on this video to watch “normal” art. I came here for flocking fuzziness. In the words of the great Baymax : ”i am satisfied with my care”.

[@cashfish14]

This isincredible! Also wanted to say thanks, from artist to artist, for all of the process that you show, especially how it can get so stressful! The super trimmed down, calm voiceover videos get into my head sometimes that the process should be easy- but it doesn’t have to be to make some badass outrageous art!

[@NeapolitanIceCream_Toki]

i love watching the process of absurd ideas i love seeing how the thought process goes, any bumps and just the whole brain working it out

[@erich_kubart]

Hi Ali, I’m glad you mentioned Mr. Beast I’ve only watched one of his videos and since not gone back, and the main reason I’ve stayed here since I found your channel is the fact that you show the whole process - for me that’s the best part I actually wish you showed more but that’s just me. Love you stuff don’t change anything (except maybe show more of the process) Take care & hi from Canada

[@zsbaby]

Keep up the hard work! Take a break once in a while though, and please don’t overwork yourself! Do what you love most, and keep getting over those obstacles!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@beckaspaz]

You're my spirit animal ♡.♡ I aspire to get my eccentric spirit and creativity back because you look like you just have fun. You are the human embodiment of pure chaos and joy. I love it!

[@cardine899]

When Ali was like "I'm just gonna leave the bike together..." I was like "noooo" I really wanted the struggle of taking it apart and putting it back together 😂

[@reckless_herb]

it makes me want to take apart my bike just for fun.

[@johnlee3619]

Love seeing the whole process! Thank you for bringing unique creations into the world!

[@TaybryJennings]

you should make the art for content, then sell it. Amazing job!

[@cjaiess]

Dude! I'm so proud of you!! Never stop showing us the full process!!

[@hazzard_destroyer]

I love watching the whole process. It’s not only fun but also just so inspiring! Every time I watch one of your videos I feel the urge to go out into the world and make outrageous art ❤️

[@deannamiles6095]

Really appreciate the commitment with the all white sweats to match.

[@florencerebeccabrown2940]

i mean art is art and yours is some of the best

[@mford66215]

What I appreciate most is your flocking attitude!! Oh, and the bike looks amazing too.

[@lia_slays24]

MAKE A WHITE VELVET HELMET FOR THE BIKE!!!

[@matatath]

Reasons I watched this video: 90% -> the excruciatingly detailed process. 90% -> christine's reaction because I've seen the other velvet videos. You'll have to trust me on the math there. I did it. It checks out.

[@tonyromaine3202]

I love it when KZbin secret Santa finds me a new channel worth watching. Flocking awesome! (don't fall for thumbnail instant gratification, the process is very important and interesting to see!)

[@tracybowling1156]

I will watch because I subscribed, and that's what subscribers do. But that's besides the point. Your videos always rock! You never need to thank me. I will do the thanking here.

[@flowstrings7173]

Forever and always outrageously spagalishous. Love the video, the bike, and the insane process of all your videos

[@GuilhermePalacio]

What a *smooth* ride

[@AllMyFriendsRFruit]

19:42, I’m actually watching this while making my own outrageous art “piece”: an entirely rainbow outfit! Currently making the first part of this all-out color outfit, the sweater vest that I’m crocheting. I plan on then making patchwork pants from old tshirts I’ve collected over the years and maybe a hat too. I am stuck on what to do for a shirt but I’m sure I’ll figure something out eventually:)

[@LaurelCanyonMojo]

Here for ALL the fun. Don't shortcut the videos .. really do appreciate seeing you through the process. New excited subscriber😊

[@Bexinmo]

Of course we will watch your vids. We flocking love you!

[@TheBenSanders]

Ali, I love that you make the content you want to put out in the world! I for sure will sit through the whole creation process!

[@annerumery9888]

That was amazing! And I love seeing the whole process - your setbacks and successes along the way and your relentless positivity are the best parts of your videos! :)

[@blakecrawford8250]

I love watching the process it's the funest part to see you get better

[@dorkydragon]

I dont come here for the patterns. I come here to see what you doing next. You're a inspiration to me to keep being true to my own artistic process in making dumb furby art and dumb wall art that needs UV light to see it properly. Please keep being you. never stop.

[@ucitymetalhead]

The lack of brakes is flocking nuts.

[@gregoryjasongranado5248]

That's flocking crazy!

[@sparo_art]

I loooove watching the process of your videos !!! But it makes me so stressed when you get so stressed but as a fellow artist I only know the struggle to much ! And the bike being white is the best idea ever :D

[@noizeemama3697]

Thank you for showing the whole process. It's the best to see your successes and failures.

[@gs4945]

I love this channel and your energy. Some of the best content on you-tube.

[@tmntaddict]

"Did you miss all of the 'not smartness' previous to this?" 😆😆

[@MahlenMorris]

I look forward to a future video entitled, "I Made a Velvet Cessna...And Then Flew It!". That's the next step in "Rich, But An Idiot" theme.

[@RichardWoodward-my6pr]

Xyla has a Cessna, and a pilots licence

[@ChainsawFPV]

As a mechanic, anything white is my nemesis. Lol That's why I love that colour so much.

[@Piffaliff]

These videos are brilliant they just seem to be getting better and more crazy every video 😂😂

[@brysonLloyd-yv8ex]

I do have to say that I always watch your videos then start small projects of my own like currently I’m redoing my closet to make a book nook.

[@jclyde7081]

You are insane! And I'm totally here for it!

[@hobbitjj]

This is so cool! Love the outrageousness of this😂🎉

[@ronniejohnson9294]

You just made a Ghost bike - the kind used for dead bicyclists. I pray you haven’t cursed yourself.🙏

[@ChrisTrude]

Came to say this and suggest that it may mildly be offensive to those who have lost cyclist friends

[@chelsealynn9866]

Yeah, I thought a similar thing. I hope no one sees it thinks she swiped it from a memorial…

[@KamiThulak]

Eyyy, my favourit sane person uploaded a new video.

[@kellahanna-wayne4191]

Agreed with other commenters. I get so much more enjoyment and satisfaction out of watching the process. I want to see when you hit an obstacle and how you brainstorm a way to get around it. I want to watch you work through your own self-doubt and frustration. All of those things are absolutely crucial to the creative process and it can feel discouraging when artists pretend that they didn't go through them too.

[@GuillaumeLT]

your outro is just the best

[@christinejacobsen1133]

Here’s the deal. The struggle is the best part of your videos.

[@torandi]

I so recognize that exhausted look. I have many times spent way too many hours on a project, and especially when things go a bit wrong, it can really drain you.

[@martykasa7864]

Yes... Love the update. Buy a little tool kit that's bicycle specific... Make sure it has a crank puller. : D

[@reckless_herb]

so cool!! i absolutely love riding my bike and have a velvet aversion lol. would not enjoy touching it, but the process was fun! this has inspired me to start a project i’ve had on my list for a while. i didn’t know where to go with it for a long time but now i do! (my neighborhood replaced the street signs and i wanted to repair and re-design one of the old ones, since they were just going in the trash)

[@rickmagill7903]

Great job! Keep up the outrageous projects coming!!!

[@Grace-it3sl]

Love it! I also love watching the process.

[@xlnyc77]

I know I probably commented this before "Ali is what happens when a human reaches their full potential."

[@piotrbijak3545]

I see the amount of views, and I hear the whole thing about people not watching and like, how, this is genuinely great content, I found this channel several months ago and I just binged all the vids because it's just enjoyable to watch the process

[@mercurylights]

Bikes are painted white and placed/locked at the sites where cyclists were killed by car collisions. They're called ghost bikes. Maybe choose a different color other than white.

[@lasinhouseinthetrees1928]

That bike looks so cozy!!!!!!

[@JibbaTTT]

You are awesome and I'm glad you went with your gut on this one

[@gusteg83]

You are so flocking cool. I can't be a Patron pall However I'm here for all Hoping You'll get the tool Sometimes planning before is saving time in the long run. Telling You is to repeat it for myself and others. Together We are stronger 💪

[@MagicBaking]

Every part of your video is addictive to watch, even when it’s watching paint dry or unboxing 3000 of the same pop socket :)

[@graywulf19]

You're our of your flockin' mind.

[@Jeremy_Adams]

I rarely get recommended artistic creative KZbin videos but I subscribed to your channel so I get yours! I’ll always watch regardless of what the thumbnail looks like!

[@Fox_in_Thoughts]

I can't believe it actually works! XD That's so awesome! And I love seeing the process :)

[@devinholland2189]

Im impressed you managed to put the chain on 2x without getting any black on the velvet.

[@gc44huffy]

No ur outrageous! That’s y we love u❤

[@Why24244]

Just wow ❤🎉 that looks amazing congratulations for completing this practical artwork can't wait to see what you're brain comes up with next.............

[@TheBluepencilabc]

I love seeing the process that makes the video way better to me

[@lifeisfull242]

keep that content original that's what makes you outrages and keeps me coming back i love your art you are more real than Mr beast plus you show your struggles and that realist and you just splash your cash on things you show how you have work for your money and that's real we are not all million airs and just choose to flash our money around because we can plus you actually create the product instead of have a team of people too do it for you ally that's why i choose to watch your videos keeping it real so one artist to another keep it going i love it......

[@quantumsquid4314]

This is the exact amount of chaos that I love in an art project

[@Noxa9]

I'm here for your crazy I'm living for your crazy And I'm wildly loving your crazy!!! Could you imagine a room flocked, full of furniture that is also flocked? Ooooo or like a slime feel texture but with out the slime

[@Kate_Fyria]

This was cool! But be careful wihtout handle brakes! When I was a kid, my mom, brother and I went biking down in Georgia and rented bikes with only foot pedal brakes. I was used to handle bar brakes and was also like 8 or 9. So when we come up to a lake and I wasn't paying attention that the trail was ending at a view point. I went full speed into the dead end and when I instincually went for my handle brakes and didn't find them, I ended up making having to make the choice of crashing into the forest of trees or bushes at the edge of the water. I chose the water. Thats how I ended up being dragged out of a lake by a very nice man in brand new snakeskin boots who also retrieved my waterlogged bike. Luckily I was ok, but I have never ridden a bike without handle brakes ever again. lol

[@reneel9570]

I haven’t finished watching yet but wanted to say that as someone who has watched all of your befuzzing videos, I like the idea of your all white velvet bike, and it is fitting with your all white gym

[@batlrar]

At this point you've made so many velvet things that Christine hates that I think you owe a future project to her where you make something that she likes and you hate! It would certainly be a challenge to do, and you'd also have to put out some *feelers* to find the right sensory experience to go with, but I think it would be a really nice turnaround that would make for a great gift and video.
