Just Short Vol.3 #11

Detroit may be the only race of the year the riders are probably not bummed to pack up and leave early, greatly reducing their chancibilty of getting shot or shanked outside the stadium.

Detroit may be the only race of the year the riders are probably not bummed to pack up and leave early, greatly reducing their chancibilty of getting shot or shanked outside the stadium. Kiesel and Mull didn’t make the main but they made it out of Detroit with their wallets and their lives.

#70 – Brady Kiesel

It’s fitting that I previously attempted to interview Mull via Instagram and failed, now I’ve kept that streak alive with another strike out interviewing Kiesel. Instagram really needs to figure out these DM notifications. Game on Instagram game on now I’m more determined then ever to make this Instagram DM interview work.

A fuzzy Kiesel image means this DM hasn’t been opened and probably never will be.

When I first read Kiesels name I thought it was Kegels, anyone else or just me? If I was him I would run Kegels as a butt patch for sure, instinctively it would make people tense up and squeeze while reading it. What else do I know about Kiesel, well his mouth is wired shut at the moment. Yeah he broke his jaw awhile back and against his doctors recommendation he attempted to race last weekend. I’m going to have to interview this kid at some point because I have a lot of questions about eating through a straw his liquid diet etc.

#565 – Preston Mull

At round 3 this year Preston Mull came up Just Short and I followed that up by coming up Just Short of an interview.

Here is the cliff notes from my Just Short round 3 article.

“In an attempt to provide innovative content I sent Preston a DM on Instagram. I thought this could be a game changer in “journalism”. The worlds first Instagram interview. I assure you I even had my clothes on in the picture I sent. I learned the hard way these pictures don’t disappear like on snapchat. Well as of this moment 12 hours later Mr. Mull still hasn’t looked at my message. His profile picture is just sitting there all blurry mocking me saying it hasn’t been opened. Maybe he didn’t download the last Instagram update that has the DM feature, yeah that’s probably it. Sure I could post a comment on his Instagram or on his twitter account asking him to check his DM. If I asked enough people I could probably even get his phone number, that whole three degrees of separation thing. But no I have too much pride for that. I’m going to wait this one out, stick to my guns, see this through to the end. To be continued……”

Mull seems like he actually likes Moser…

This time I came through and got the Mull interview, enjoy.

Fairly even match up here. I feel like Kiesel isn’t following as many people as he should and Mull is following too many people to keep up with his timeline. With almost 1,000 more followers Mull wins this round.

Kiesel may not be able to have kids after he rides this one out landing on his balls. Mull’s picture here is more of a takeout than a crash but it was close enough. Both excellent pictures, timing is everything.

Kiesel has a bright future as a tattoo artist based on his sharpie skills. Mull has some room for improvement here this is not the attention to detail he lead me to believe he demands of himself.

I like how different these two pictures are but both standout, tie for sure.

They both have nice straight pearly whites but if you have your jaw wired shut you win by default. Kiesel you are either a badass or an idiot or both.

This isn’t an advertisement for 10 minute abs but it could be. I forgot to ask Mull what he oils those babies up with to make them all shiny. I’m asking him in the morning before I post his interview.

A horse ass pulling some Amish folks and a turtle wearing a helmet, thank god for Instagram.

The photographer can make or break your whip photo. Kiesel is too blurry, instant deduct. Mull is crystal clear but it’s so zoomed in it lacks perspective. Mull’s picture is so clear I can almost see my reflection which is much better than squinting trying to make out the blur that is Kiesel.

Cold Stone Creamery vs steak. Can’t we all just get along. This is a perfect food pairing actually, with an ice-cold beer of course.

That’s a lot of red on Kiesel’s bike but I think it works and I like the look. Is that frame rail red too or is that a skid plate? I don’t know but it catches your eye. Mull takes pride in a clean bike, which you can see here, but his comment is better than the picture.
