Pistaboy is real.

You know.. there was that rash of threads a few days ago about how we don't talk about bikes here any more, and its all threads about other threads... but what the f*** is wrong with that?! We are a community, and this is just a way to connect. Questions about our rides get answered double quick when we need em, and we just chill and have fun the rest of the time.
and Pistaboy is our mascot
SS/FG BF IZ TEH KING!!!

Dude, this totally needs to be photoshopped in. The font should be hand drawn, stendhalian, myself, others are capable of hand rendering a font that matches. Color would be photoshopped in with the BF members 'shopped in with full '80s color saturation and neon glory.

i'm working on my version right now, including the back. of course, everyone else is welcome to give it a shot too. we could even start a new thread and have a contest, if there was enough interest.

okay, here's my finished product. it's a little choppy, but i'm no pro. i decided to use the cutout filter on the front in order to smooth the picture out some. hope nobody minds. if you want the high res version, let me know and i'll email it to you.
and if anyone feels like one-upping me, go for it! in fact, i'm anxiously awaiting serendipper's version.

That's a great question, if I was a parent what would I want my kid doing less, riding brakeless (hey, kids heal fast) or dating girls.

just to cast my little bit of doubt- on the previous pages pistaboy's friend/mech ashbiker says they were hanging out at their lbs, but isn't that his (ashbiker's) place of work?
sounds a little sus to me, like someones got two accounts to back them up......

It's slow around here right now, so I have time to talk to young kids like Pistaboy who stop into the shop often and check out stuff. Weren't you ever young and all you wanted to do was to go to the bike shop. Well that's what all the kids around here do, is go to shop then meet everybody and go on rides.
