pedal's pretty good. i won a copy from trackstar's mixtape thing. it's different than what i'd expected from the preview, but a more comprehensive look at NYC messenger culture than red light go. there's also a lot more active cinematography (i.e. actually riding on runs with the people in the film) in it than in red light, which was something i'd hoped for. my only complaint is fish-eye lenses... i hate fish-eye videography. there's no real story to pedal either, which actually made me happy. it's more of an impressionistic examination/homage to something that the filmmaker actually seems to sincerely appreciate. it's not really something where a linear narrative documentary would have been successful anyhow. dfntly worth checking out.
