By making the DVD, they proved themselves lawless individuals with an unbelievable amount of urban cycling skill.
By doing the Tour of California, they proved themselves as the same punks, but with real road cycling endurance and skill as well.
They have a polarized response, which demonstrates that however you feel about them, they are doing something big.

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.

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 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.

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.
