You could try their Facebook page. As I don’t have a Facebook account, I’ll leave this for someone who does…
I’m not sure I understand why these guys are getting hate? I’d love to do what they’re doing, and I’d love to film it too.
Getting them along on Sunday is a good idea.
it because they are trying to make money off it.
i think.
Are they? I see. I haven’t seen anything to attest to that. Haven’t they heard about torrents?
Still, looks like a fun ride to be a part of.
There hasn’t been any mention of them making money, except by haters on here. Who the fuck makes money out of filming a bunch of dudes riding anyway?
MASH SF ?
i dont even see what the problem is, even if they do make money out of it.
Although I wont be buying a copy of their film, if there is one, I don’t have a problem with other people doing so and them profiting from that. what’s the big deal?
at the end of the day, if anything, it may encourage people to go out and ride their bikes more or spur them into trying some longer distance riding.
my 2c… it has nike written all over it…
Flat out… syd - melb… same group of guys who did london to paris.
Nothing wrong with it at all. But its silent marketing.
did they though?
going to have to disagree… i havent seen any of the same names in the syd-mel rider list. IIRC there wasnt a single continental euro on the london-to-paris ride (i could check but it was japan/US/england - there might have been one frenchy).
and if it was nike you’d know about it… via blogs or promo.
id suggest it might be more ‘inspired’ by a lot of other fixed distance rides that have been happening (filmed, photo’d or not)
after much umming and ahhing, i have finally decided on my official response to this.
meh.
i will stop looking in the Sydney forum now.
I don’t think they did… I mean they probably have covered production costs etc, but I doubt they’d be rolling around in cash.
Anyway, my 2¢… This (and London To Paris and Tokyo To Osaka) have inspired me to try and do more long distance rides on my fixed. I only own track bikes, (and I’m not allowed to buy a geared bike…yet), I don’t ride more than 40-odd k’s in one go, but I’ve been thinking about trying to more long distance rides, and seeing these films / photos / whatever inspires me even more.
To quote Rodan / Yossarian after the London To Paris screening on Tuesday night.
So… who wants to go on a road trip?
It’s just like MASH SF and Macaframa makes me want to go out and do skids in traffic.
Oh, and I think one of the dudes from LTP is doing this ride, but that’s it.
and movies about murderers make me want to go murder people. jeez, dude…
Thanks.
and i managed to keep that promise for the best part of three minutes…
You should get that looked into. :roll:
Dude, I grew up watching Bones Brigade, 411VM etc, those films made me want to skate more, learn new tricks and just because I’m 30 doesn’t mean I can’t see a film (well more so a documentry) and have it inspire me.
It’s the same way listening to a record will make me want to pick up my bass again.
:-o
Why the heavy handed rules? I know Jihadists that are less extreme than you. 
I can’t buy anymore bikes until we get a bigger house.
Once we get that bigger house (and don’t worry, we’re looking), I’ll be looking at getting more bikes for sure.
Jeebus dude … I feel for you. If you ride 55/56cm I’d be happy to hold all your excess bike purchases for a fee 
I’m okay with it, I have three amazing track bikes, and a girlfriend that loves riding her track bike.
I can wait.
PS: I ride between 54cm and 56cm…
