Looks like it'll be an interesting film. Donated.

but there's a great film already (the flying scotsman) it's got JLM and everything...

I enjoyed The Flying Scotsman, and recently found out about this Obree documentary, Battle Mountain:

"The documentary film follows Graeme Obree on his quest to challenge for the world land speed record at Battle Mountain in Nevada in 2013, cycling the bike that he built in his kitchen and named "The Beastie" by Graeme's friend and fellow legend of cycling, Sir Chris Hoy M.B.E."

There were some viewings up in Edinburgh over last summer. Anyone know if I could see this (in that London), or buy it?

What.

I didn't know about that either.

I really like Obree and enjoy following what he does so it's a surprise I've missed that.

Kickstarter update:

Streams and downloads of BATTLE MOUNTAIN Graeme Obree’s Story will be released to you all on June 13th 2016 with the DVD’s to follow shortly afterwards.
If you want to see the film before then, it will have its English Premiere at Picturehouse Central in London on March 21st this will be followed by a Q&A tour of the UK starting on April 1st.

Bugger. Never even heard about this.

Two years ago, presume backing has ceased now.

For those who may not have seen it, the Phoenix cinema in Finchley has on at 2pm tomorrow Kings of the Hour: triple Bill including On Yer Bike (Obree), The Final Hour (Boardman) and Jacques Anquetil...Followed by an interview with Vin Denson his "super domestique".

and the rest..

2 Attachments

Do you know, are those screenings open to the public or for kickstarter backers only?

Good question, interested to know too

Must be open to all, surely? They'd not fill those venues with just backers.

April 10th in the diary.

It's not clear from the email I got but as Hefty says I can't see how these would be just for backers..
