So, apparently I’m in 5 minutes of this movie that is having it’s west-coast debut tomorrow. I haven’t seen the movie yet, so I cannot vouch for its quality nor my performance (although it did win some award at the Vail Film Festival). All I know is that I was really tired during filming and completely sober, so just know going into it that I was not my usual self. Anyways, if you are a cyclist and at Sea Otter or find your in Monterrey tomorrow night at 8pm, go see 5 minutes of me being awkward and 82 minutes of people being well-adjusted in an IMAX theater. For those of you at home, you can watch me hella fuck up my ankle while pushing my bike through the snow in the trailer embedded below.
Ride the Divide
April 15th at 8pm, Cannery Row IMAX theater, Monterey, CA (There will be a show the afternoon of the 16th if the 15th sells out)
$12 in advance at www.bellacinema.com

That movie looks cool. AND IT’S SO RAD/INSANE THAT YOU DID THIS.
I did the trip with a tranny hooker and my poodle my CTS, ran over 12 rabbits and was exhausted at the end (I used cruise control the whole way, set at 10 mph) and gained 20 lbs. Rabbit stew is SO fattening.
Why does this trailer make me want to be politically incorrect?
I don’t know, it just does.
But in all seriousness, you guys are crazy. Its why I love you.
Dope!
what bike did you use? and other personal reports from the trip?
I’ve done it a few times. I’ve used a Santa Cruz Superlight and a Salsa Dos Niner.
This was my first setup: http://omgbikes.blogspot.com/2007/06/gdr-bike-ready.html
Also, if you want to see something hella weird, I filmed a short documentary in 2006 http://omgbikes.blogspot.com/2007/06/gdr-documentary.html
This was my 2008 setup: http://omgbikes.blogspot.com/2008/06/new-salsa-is-built-up-and-ready-to-…
Also not in 2008 I did not carry anything on my back. It was really light that year. No tents. nada
it is actually pretty fascinating, but I have to wonder, have you always been uploading every part of your life to the internet? is it like a “we live in public” kind of thing? - please note i enjoy the results, i’m just wondering what it’s like to grow up without knowing of time w/ out email.
I actually didn’t have a computer until middle school and had dial-up until college, but I’ve been blogging for a while. I started my first blog in 2000 using a crappy CMS called Greymatter. Millions of templates, cgi scripts and it manually built html files everytime you hit publish. It was a crappy blog called Static and mostly movie reviews + news but it got the most traffic of anything I’ve ever done to do so whatever. Then 9/11 happened and money on the internet dried up so I quit doing it.
My life pretty much stayed offline until 2004 when I maintained a column in the school newspaper and a blog about politics and life on campus. Fell out of it again in the winter of 2006/2007 and was pretty much offline (aside from Twitter) until Mission Mission in may 2009.
Life story. Has it.
