If anyone was silly enough to be awake at 1-2am this morning (last night?) you might have seen this movie with Kevin Bacon working as a NYC courier after losing his job as a stock broker. Has anyone seen this?
There was some nice tricks in there with Bacon(?) riding backwards on his fixie whilst the bars spun around rapidly. This might have been staged but it looked real.
There were also guys doing flatland bmx-style tricks and trials moves (like backhops) on fixed-gear road bikes!!!! Some crazy stuff in there... I'm totally jealous of their skills.
Cool track session last night too... thanks Rowan!

hippy "Caffeine.. IV... stat!"
I must confess...I taped it. Just so I can fast forward through the crappy bits. According to most reviews, there are plenty of those 🙂

Well, I taped it as well. Unfortunately, I have a habit of seeing something interesting and watching it anyway, so I watched it through. I might just dump the good bits to computer so I can watch the tricky riding when I want and not have to FF through the good guy vs. bad guy stuff...

Well I just watched it. What an appalling soundtrack 🙂
Yeah, it was on after the TDU highlights. Samuel L Jackson was pretty fast at the start 🙂, and you gotta love those down tube shifters!
The stunts were pretty crazy although I stopped watching it after SLJ died. What happened in the end? (let me guess, Kb and Terry kill the 'bad guy' right?)
As for the TDU the gravel road was pretty bad and those road tires puncture easily. Maybe dirt road sections should be a feature of the race like the cobblestones are in Paris to Roubaix.

Actually, that was Nelson Vails at the start.

The courier actor that died (hit the taxi) was Laurence Fishburne.

Myself and a mate were talking about the possibilities of running something like this when we were in Mildura - as we hooned along some "off-road" roads. Same deal as Paris-Roubaix we were thinking, but an Aussie version. Just for something different to shake da bones down! So, sponsors anyone? :-)
Oops, it was on late ok 😉 . Looked up Lawrence Fishburne and he played the character Morpheus in the Matrix movies http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000401/.

I taped it too but I screwed up the programming on the VCR and didn't get anything after he made the bad guy drive his car off a bridge. Oh well, I assume that all ended happily and he got the girl.
(in South Australia we get the TDU highlights at 7pm so we dont have to wait around till midnight to get them!)
