How to get to work fast...

I love the idea of bombing through london but
a) It's flat
b) I'm unfit
c) Hedging your bets with one tonne objects moving at 30mph is like playing russian roulette with a fully loaded gun. Not fun.

you can see 'em mouthing "when the lights go down in the city" as they blast through Bishopsgate...;)

HA!

i'm curious to know how much of the film was preplanned. i wouldn't have thought the budget was big enough for a lot of it, especially some of the really long hill bombing sections. you'd need hollywood style funds to plan out that and do it 100% safely.

actually ive had "one more cup of coffee" in my head all week so ive been singing that

if ever there's a mash section to try and imitate its mike martins bonus section

cruising about on a scooter and trying tricks you can't do properly on all your friends really expensive bikes. livin' the dream.

I'm not directing that last bit about reality at you JF - if I'm directing it at anyone it's at those crazy mothers Nosferatu and Crane - I've seen 'em.. you can see 'em mouthing "when the lights go down in the city" as they blast through Bishopsgate...;)

when have you seen us riding? ive only seen you at trix i suppose with all the fixsters around a lot of people just blend in

I need to try and clear this planned comment I made up a bit, regardless of the fact I had nothing to do with the making of the film so I'm just a punter, not a pundit:

any film takes planning... so sequences will have been planned to enable the riding to be captured as smoothly as possible
there will have been more than one take sometimes
there will most likely have been people stationed at intersections at times who had radio or phone contact with the film crew so that the riders didn't get smacked into by a tram or a car or whatever
some sequences may have taken place at a time of day when the traffic was at its most agreeable - even if that was a time when there'd be loads of cars heading a certain way so that the riding could be done in a certain way
the (specially selected for being awesome) riders will have been busting their best shit possible for the cameras and will not necessarily ride to the grocery store in the same manner all the time

These are the kind of things I mean when I talk about the sequences being planned.....

the riding's still rad, the riders are still awesome, it's still a great showcase of road skills, but it's not day-to-day reality....

oh well when you put it like that its still 100% rad.

of course it's rad.. I was talking with a few people recently - it's no wonder Macaframa took forever to come out, the sequences must come together very slowly sometimes cos it's not just a ride down the street..

i think raining blood would get me into a bit more trouble if i was humming it as i rode along!

i'm curious to know how much of the film was preplanned.

from what they filmed, it look like they have several hours of footage, choose the one that look smooth and tidy, and put them in the final rolls giving us the impression that the entire ride is smooth and seamless, plus they have been filming for 2 years (I think, can't remember).

it's simply a case of editing, in the DVD there's a handful of outtake that show just how 'seamless' they are (a handful of hairy moment).

I can concur that crane and nosferatu both ride like loonies, me and nosferatu had a crazy ride up to Oxford street a little while back that was wayyy too much fun, and crane could probably outpace a lot of people on this forum....maybe at the next drag sprints if he remembers to put both feet in his clips before the start he'll put down the sorta times he's capable of!

we ride like safe loonies, i dont do anything really stupid at dangerous times, i just do stupid things at pointless times

I ride on my own most of the time so I get loonie out of me at alleycats.

I just finished downloading 'mash' & discovered it was the army film thing... anyone got a direct torrent link as I'm finding it a bit tricky to decipher all the mash torrents on mininova & isohunt

thanks for any help!

nick you have PM.

lol, you should have checked for that. Then again my dad's girlfriend's son asked me "who is the A-team" the other day.

If I had more bandwidth I would give you link to my FTP directory for the download.

Thanks for the link rusty...2h13m & counting

Thats true, maybe I didn't put it in the right context, i've ridden with you and crane on many occasions and can't remember you guys ever actually endangering yourselves or anyone else. You're both pretty skilled riders, still didn't manage to beat me in the drag sprints though :p.

does anyone have the link for a torrent for MASH that works?
the one listed on this thread seems to lead me to a realplayer thing that wont work because its an unsuported document type?
