Jan 20, 2003 10:56 PM | | There's Fast and Furious, now there's Biker boys. It'll be cool if someone make a movie about mountain biking = ) maybe illegal street mountain bike racing? = ) |

Theres an image our sport needs.
I think I will just save my money and go for a road ride. |

Jan 20, 2003 11:25 PM | | Oh yeah...plus to the outsider, mountain biking is about as entertaining to watch as golf. Sorry but its true. Ever try to get a non-biker to sit down and watch a race? They could care less and typically just wander away after a few minutes. I had my fat out of shape brother in law watch a DH race. He said "big deal, I could do that. They are hardly pedaling at all".
I guess they could make a movie about MTBing like they did golf? Caddy Shack or Happy Gilmore? Some sort of movie that goofs on spandax clad qu@@rs riding toys around in the woods?
It sucks ,but main stream society doesnt see MTBing as being as cool as we see it. |
| I thought RAD was pretty good.... | crashanburn
Jan 21, 2003 3:51 AM | | Though I admitt I was 12 at the time when it came out. Besides, Hollywood can make anything exciing. |

Jan 21, 2003 4:36 AM | | I enjoyed it (at the time) as well :) |
| If they can make Baseball exciting...... | crashanburn
Jan 21, 2003 7:12 AM | | then mt. biking should be no trouble for 'em. I went to a ball game with a friend not long ago and I have to say that if it wasn't for the mascot, I would've been pretty bored except for the 3 seconds that someone actually hit the ball. It's better to play the game than to just view it. |

Jan 21, 2003 5:38 AM | | This is from another Raven. Not me. Mountain Biking is losing poularity with the masses. It will probably help us, in the long run, if our numbers are not as great, as in the past, for land access. We do seem to make it into alot of commercials. How about a documentary called....Mountain Bikes.....everybody's got one, but only a few are ever taste dirt. |

| Stationwagons on steroids | LakeRaven
Jan 21, 2003 9:03 AM | | Don't have one, but I used to have a 4 runner and then a tahoe while my wife drove an amigo. Now I drive a real station wagon. Passat 4 motion......suv's are so yesterday man......vans rule! |
| Isn't there a movie called 2 Seconds about mt biking? | Fat-tire
Jan 21, 2003 9:39 AM | | I think it's French, and I'm boycotting the French, so I have not seen it.
And don't forget Pee Wee's Big Adventure. The greatest biking movie ever, and I'm pretty sure his bike was a mt bike. |
| YES, 2 Seconds... | mtbbrian
Jan 21, 2003 12:17 PM | | Yes, there was a movie called "2 Seconds", it was French.
I saw it, It was OK...
