Dream Build | Forbidden Druid “Blasty” Custom Bike Build

Design based on the NHL’s Calgary Flames “Blasty” Jerseys worn from 1998-2006
#12 was worn by team captain Jarome Iginla
“I wanted to make a bike to give a special shoutout to my friends and family back home in Calgary, AB. Throughout the wet coastal winter on Vancouver Island, I felt nostalgic when thinking back on growing up in Calgary, the winters were long and cold, but you’d always find some good friends and good times at the multiple local outdoor rinks scattered around town. These jerseys were worn when I was a kid and first started watching hockey during the flames 2004 Stanley Cup run.”

Insane build!

[@ScottBell]

Thanks for watching dude!

[@jessejayphotography]

I’m not a bike nerd but that looks like an awesome bit of machinery.

[@ScottBell]

Thanks for watching!

[@EricMeadows]

Fantastic video. Really like that you recorded and used all the audio from the build. Went really well with the smooth soundtrack. 👏

[@ScottBell]

Thanks for watching! It was a fun one to put together.

[@fremifilms3809]

What a build man! happy ride. Cheers from Venezuela. 🤓👍🏻

[@ScottBell]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the build!

[@RyandeMilliano]

Fantastic buddy, you and Jarrett crushed this build. I recently got a chance to take out their Druid demo, stunning bike, looking forward to getting a chance on the Dreadnought and hopefully getting my own as soon as possible. Keep up the great work.

[@ScottBell]

Thanks for watching Ryan, glad you liked it! They are sick bikes for sure. I gotta get out and ride one!

[@camillahyllebergphotography]

Beautiful done!

[@ScottBell]

Thanks for watching Camilla, a bit of something different from normal which was fun.

[@camillahyllebergphotography]

@@ScottBell Great to see a "product" video from you!

[@ScottBell]

@@camillahyllebergphotography Haha yeah that's about as close as you get to it on my channel. I do a fair amount of product stuff but not really what I youtube about :)

[@camillahyllebergphotography]

@@ScottBell I know that feeling. I created another IG profil to show off other than outdoor work 😉

[@25percentofphrog]

Love it. Sick bike and awesome cinematography. More of these please!

[@ScottBell]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! Definitely more bike content coming!

[@tschick2680]

forbidden bikes from Cumberland, we are one composites from kamloops, one-up from Squamish and chromag from whistler. such a sick bike made by BC for BC!

[@ScottBell]

Yeah! It's a killer rig. Thanks for watching :)

[@fodsonmedia]

Amazing work, Scott! As a bike mechanic gone filmmaker I've made a bunch of bike build videos myself; always face the same problem where repair stands make the footage look much shakier than it actually is 😆

[@ScottBell]

Thanks! Yeah the standing shaking was a bit frustrating. Try to warp stabilize and the background goes wonky. I'm planning to do one of these for a sponsored video so I want to come up with a solution to avoid this. Have you had any luck thinking of something that won't disrupt the flow of building too much but provide more stability to the bike?

[@fodsonmedia]

@@ScottBell Nothing that doesn't come with other downsides I'm afraid. Essentially you need to add a point of contact, which helps a lot with stability but may look a bit wonky depending on how you go about it. I sometimes added another stand for detail shots where you couldn't see it that well anyway, and clamped it somewhere in the front of the frame or around the fork (don't remember exactly which I went for in the end). Also, lowering the stand so that one or both wheels are on the ground is by far the most stable I find. Hope that helps, and looking forward to seeing what you come up with yourself :) Here's one I did for a friend last summer. Not the best example as conditions were horribly cold and windy, but see how the front wheel is touching the ground. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqWlgaZjft6lkMU

[@ScottBell]

@@fodsonmedia Thanks for the thoughts, I think resting the wheel on something is the best bet but will be tricky to keep it framed out. Thanks!

[@CraigRivest]

That’s great, loved the edit and ASMR feel. As someone who use to build bikes in the 90’s, this brought me back to a simpler time. And is that a Bluetooth derailer system? So sick!

[@ScottBell]

Thanks for watching Craig! Gotta love some bike tool sounds :)
