OT: Breaking Away
just watched it for the 9,000th time. always makes me feel tingly and happy inside :)
|
probably my favorite movie, and also one of many reasons i didn't go to iu. i wanna be a cutter, not a future yuppie trying to run chris off the street.

I don't think I can watch any movie that many times.
|
bfssfg breaking away party little 500 weekend. actually attending the race is optional, as it is 200 laps of boredom and sitting in sun. by the way, the cutters won last year (they were actually called the stoners before the movie felt the need to change that, or so i have heard), but they aren't really just townies like they used to be.
|
when is the race?
friends of my family were in that movie. god, i gotta love my hoosier roots. |
the race is on 4/20 weekend. seriously.
death pedal rolls deep in bloomington. |
smoke and a bike race? i think yes
|
Do they still race using single speeds with coaster brakes on a dirt track?

yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody loves to point that out. big whoop. most bikers can't even get bike stuff right, you expect movie editors to get it right?

Yes they do. It's the only kind allowed. Although I guess they don't get them from AMF anymore. Toe clips are outlawed too.
Is tying yourself to the pedals allowed, too? |
