Finally, a video that doesn't suck. This is actually awesome.

EDIT: [Removed by request] Apparently the guy who posted it to his website didn't want anyone to see it. He may not be 100% as to how the internets works.

Wow. That was awesome.

With a few nods to Robert Rodriguez and Michael Mann.

these videos do not work well south of the Equator. What is the main theme?

Ok, just got to see the whole trailer... Still don't see what's so great about it.

I apologize in advance if I come across as ignorant. It just looks like a bunch of track cyclists doing what they do best.

Some context,

Wolfpack Hustle is a weekly night time "fast ride" that goes all sorts of places and is hosted by one of the very first people involved with Midnight Ridazz, he also owns the site that has become a hub for the LA cycling community. Wolfpack hosted the All City Race and LA Marathon Crash Race as well as these drag races.


Plattsvegas, just compare it to other videos that get posted here. Good stuff

Definitely better than any "edit" that gets posted to these forums. I suppose the number of MTN bike videos I have seen has raised my standard for gnarly trailers. I love to go fast myself, but when I do, It is on skis (42mph on a slow blue trail). My friend and I bought a radar gun...

Mad props on hosting rides though, there is nothing in my neck of the woods that offers a group ride. Totally jealous of all the options y'all have out west.
