They have a polarized response, which demonstrates that however you feel about them, they are doing something big.

A solid argument. And I agree with the fact that those guys can ride.

Yeah I don't get the hate for MASH. Typical hipster response to any artist/group becoming successful.

All valid points whether you're into what MASH is doing or not.

I just rewatched some MASH stuff. I hate on the commercial aspects, and their hyped up equipment but damn they can ride.

You make a good point; luckily the movie was made before they were pb&j with cinelli & etc.... their individualized bikes were a major part of their movie IMO, now there's not much difference since they're all on cinellis now...BORING especially when you personally have one and a bunch of peeps around you ride them aswell.

M*A*S*H is awesome

Butthash 04-07-11 03:31 AM

You can watch it in sections on youtube and probably other places.

This is one of my faves:


I dig it because everyone is just laughing and having a great time. Emi Brown cruising with a Heineken mini keg and the part at the end where Lance looks like he's learning to skid are pretty funny. Also, the fact that Lance isn't using a monster gear ratio and still hauling that much ass is rad.

I don't hate, I just don't get it. Yeah they ride bikes, great, so do I. Big deal.

Yup! you are right. I think they are a bit over rated. Besides when they bomb hills, then, they definitely make a point of the need of brakes.

I just like watching videos of people riding, especially because it's been too windy for an enjoyable ride for the past couple of weeks. The MASH/Macaframa/etc people put out some cool videos. Heck, I'd watch a video of myself riding if someone would film me. Haha.

Confessions:

I'm a newbie here (obv)
A guy that rides totally gets extra cute points over a guy that doesn't.
I don't have a ss/fg (yet; working on it) but this is the only forum I've hung out in since registering.
I hope to test ride a fixed gear soon and I'm terrified I will crash and kill myself and/or the bike during the test ride.
I'm totally a hipster. Only thing that makes me self-conscious about it is I'm probably too old for it. Whatevs.
I called in sick because I'm hungover today.

Robofunc 04-07-11 08:49 AM

At work, still a little drunk. Today is going great!

It's my favorite video as well. It's also why I want to pick up some Moustache Bars. The video makes me really want to ride a bike and ride twice as hard as I normally do, go bomb some hills and cut traffic just because the adrenaline spike is fun :P

All of the videos just make me see a level above where I ride now, with or without the risks I could be spinning a lot faster and I could be pushing myself a lot harder.

You should come ride in Beverly Hills. You can get some good climbing and good spin coming down with 0 traffic. Have you ever been through Franklin Canyon?

You'll probably get a "sup QT" if you go register at ChiFG.

ya ya, my fave as well. i like it most cuz i know the roads they're going through and how rough the ride really was.

Someone posted a squirrel penis in response to my confessions post. I'm calling this a successful day.
