yes, it appears that way. he's not bad at it either.

i'm surprised he rides moustache bars - i'd totally assume he'd just do drops with hoods.

I wish he would have had risers. lol :thumb::lol:

I'm guessing Uniqlo on the jackets

I take it the video is cool to watch, no doubt about it, but it seems like it's "cool to be cool and do as they do (or wish)".

By the way, I assume that by your answer you're "totally in the loop" and so young you're cool :rolleyes:

Don't get your panties in a bunch, it was a joke comment. What kind of question is that anyways? Its popular because there's enough people watching it, no different than motorcycle stunting videos or skateboarding videos. Its popular by the people who do that kind of activity and if you need someone to explain it to you then its not an issue of age or being in the loop but rather lack of basic common sense.

Man, I was just about to comment on this!

That's Leo Kottke playing first (Busted Bicycle is the name of the song I believe; I know it's on an album called "6 & 12 String Guitar", which has a picture of an armadillo on the front (and is known as the armadillo album)). The outro is Meat Puppets, "The Whistling Song" off II.

Great soundtrack!

That's some sh*t! Love it!

bakaster 09-19-08 04:33 PM

Yeah, leo Kottke can do some amazing things on an acoustic guitar

timmhaan 09-19-08 04:37 PM

damn, lance has a nice place. :)

that was a fun video...not sure i could stomach some of that in real life though. my nerves only go so far.

beatifik 09-19-08 04:45 PM

cool vid. it's great that both sides could get over themselves for a bit and get together for some cool footage.

Exempt 09-19-08 06:11 PM

if you think that any of them "dusted" lance, watch the last 30sec with the downhill descent, and watch him just take off. They're all spinning out while he's still pushing it (and his gear ratio is small than theirs)

That made my nipples hard.

iansmash 09-19-08 07:07 PM

how do they film? scooter? bike?


i can't imagine trying to keep up with these guys while holding a camera/not looking straight forward

alaska 09-19-08 07:15 PM

at 1:19 there is a clear reflection of the filmer

you can see the label of garrett's jacket at 4:15. can't read it but maybe someone will recognize.

Gyeswho 09-19-08 07:56 PM

I found it funny some of the riders are riding safer, than Lance, with a helmet yet they have no brakes ;)
Also Lance is rocking a brake so he can descend a lot faster without kicking up too much of an issue when he has to stop
great vid though. had me smiling all the way through

dansjustchillin 09-19-08 09:43 PM

I dig the leo kottke track

fluidworks 09-19-08 09:49 PM

It'd be easy for someone like Lance to pshaw the fixed scene, but it's cool he is down to earth enough to be involved.

Man, that was just nice to watch. They all looked like they had a great time riding.

vredstein 09-19-08 11:57 PM

How hard do you think Lance and other cyclists worked to get Austin to be a bike friendly community? How hard did they work to change motorists attitudes away from "bikes don't belong on streets", "bikes are a hazard", and "I'm never letting my kid ride in the streets."
All this is getting ruined by these jackasses and the publicity from the video. If I was a cop, I'd force them to put on a 7-speed MegaRange cassette, two U-brakes, and GripShift's lowest level twisters, and a Hannah Montana helmet. Let's them parade around town on that setup. :mad:

DongDong 09-20-08 12:14 AM

what kind of wheel is that @ 0:37 secs? Garett's wheel.

sleepy 09-20-08 03:58 AM

Lance Armstrong sold out. How sad. He went beyond the token Cancer wristbands to the Fixster Hoodie.
I wonder if he was prepping for the Nike MASH clothing line coming up this fall. All of your favorite windbreakers, sneakers, and shorts, MASH ridden, Armstrong approved!
Gobble it up, you failed BMXers! This Anal refuse is sure to skyrocket on the Ebay!
