Neil Hise of Richmond, VA doesn't seem to check his mail on Facebook. I can't blame him though; Facebook can feel like a full-time job sometimes. Luckily, I know Neil, and have ridden with him in the past. I can't recall where I met him, but I believe it was either at a Brooklyn Banks Jam (which he drove to from Richmond on his own) or through the Richmond-area enigma Brad 'Puck' Byrnes. But this isn't about me.

So what do we know about Neil? For starters, he's 26-years-old. We already know he lives in Richmond, VA. But what you might now know is that Neil enjoys reading the works of Charles Bukowski and Aaron Cometbus. He also appreciates the movie Dumb And Dumber, and states his occupation as "Scumbag." Neil's also really good on a bike, as evidenced by the above video.

And while on the subject of the above video, I need to mention that it was procured by Steve Crandall, who said that Neil is not officially on the FBM team, but that FBM helps him out and Neil's down for the cause.

And that brings me to my final point, kinda un-related to Neil. FBM made an awesome flipbook earlier this week featuring their latest run of complete bikes, and like all things FBM, it's awesome. Check the flipbook here, but only after you watch the above video.
