Probably the shortest video here. But you don’t need more than four seconds to pick up on the joy Shaq is feeling.
David Folch, 6′ 6″ owner of DirtySixer, used 36″ wheels and custom tubing to build this proportionally correct bike for the 7″ 1″, 360 lb. basketball player. He describes the moment this video captures:
“He was literally like a kid who finds his first bicycle under the Christmas tree. After he first saw the DirtySixer, we exchanged a few words and he quickly went off, full speed, in the Turner Studios corridors. He disappeared for a while, leaving us worried. And then he reappeared with a huge smile on his face. He said… that was the first time he felt normal on a bike.”
