I watched the movie and thought it was remarkably boring, but I don't begrudge people making a living. I would happily cash in on people with more money than sense if I had a lifestyle product to sell. Anyone interested in a mag wheel with a "barba" sticker on it?

Moved to SF a year ago. Been Riding track bikes for 12+ years. I'm friends with dudes in multiple bike "clubs" back home that have been around for 20+ years. They don't brand/sell products with their crew name on them. Why is it that these MASH idiots feel the need to commercialize fixed gear riding? Making a profit off of silly videos/clothes/components. I mean, is that what fixed gear riding has come to? MASH stickers on AEROSPOKES, green hubs with the MASH logo, and MASH logo bar ends. Its all silly and rather childish. Lets make an attempt to keep fixed gear riding low key and fun and not another commercial money making machine. Unless of course you live in a fly-over state, and feel the need to be a part of something.

Im downloading it now. Never saw the whole thing.
Just the swerving and riding like jackasses in the clips made me think buying it was stupid.
I guess i can see the whole thing now at least.

jussik posted a link on his blog to a youtube clip of an out-take which somehow had more charm than the movie itself; again it might've been the song playing in the background.

Actually, I think it's important to consider what is gained and lost by mainstreaming and advertising, and whether it can make an activity or an idea less real in a meaningful sense. Maybe it's just because I took a lot of cultural studies classes in college.
Anyway, I can ride like a jackass on any kind of bike I want.

People, stop saying "Who cares? Just ride." It's been said verbatim about five times.
If you truly didn't care, you wouldn't comment. And this is a bloody forum, where people express opinions. It's not possible to ride here.

PS To the OP--
Fly-over-state people probably care about bike faddery as much as fly-to-state and fly-from-state people. Oh, and by way the innernets in the same space/time continuum as the rest of the country.
PPS to the rest of Group--
"The mummy strikes" was totally the best MASH episode.

The people who agree with me looked to be rather intelligent INDIVIDUALS.
The people who disagree with me seem to be pole-jockeying. AKA D*CK RIDING.
And finally, the ones who keep writing my user title "who cares, just ride" are the mental midgets that are still riding around on conversions and posting things like "I can't get my chain line straight" and "what color top tube protector should I get?"
'Nuff said. G'day. Now go ride your bike and get off the computer.
