On our way home one of our good friends, Don, was involved in an accident and we all wish that you guys would send positive energy his way for a speedy recovery.

Yes, it’s that time again. The Bicycle Film Festival starts today in Los Angeles. It seems like it was yesterday that we packed The Downtown Independent Theater with 2 sold out shows for To Live & Ride In LA. Now here we are a year later and we are just as excited as last year. Los Angeles is making another impact on this years festival with Warren Komers’ Wolfpack Hustle’s The Crash Race as well as a vignette on the outlandish behavior of Los Angelopes. Holy Fuck its going to be a good one!!!

Tonight’s kick off party ‘Bikes Rock’ is at El Cid. Hope to see you all there buying us drinks!

Truly a Giant amongst men. Roadblock has been here since the beginning. One of OG Midnight ridazz’s and main Organizer of that website, as well as forming Wolfpack Hustle (the ride that will kick the shit out of you and keep you coming back for more), throwing some of the largest street races in the country, Roadblock has made his mark on Los Angeles Cycling. We are proud to have such a living legend captured in our film.

Roadblock:

“There is a giant sized bicycle scene happening here in L.A. and I’ve personally watched it grow. I was one of the original 8 Ridazz a little over 6 years ago when midnightridazz.com started. That ride developed into a mammoth 1500 person Friday night ride, it was truly out of control and it spawned hundreds of other rides: Crank Mob, Wolfpack Hustle, Glow Ride, Taco Tuesday’s, Mellow Monday’s, there’s a ride every day of the week here. Everyone I’ve met in the bike community seems totally cool from the youngsters to the vets. Except for Kyle from Trackosaurus. That guy is a jerk.

Our “scene” here is new but I think because we are so new that we have all this energy and enthusiasm for bicycle culture and exploring the city. I’ve ridden in NY, Miami, SF, Portland, Las Vegas, New Orleans and the Netherlands and there is no other city in the world with this kind of community. From Midnight Ridazz to LAFixed to Wolfpack to who knows what’s next.”
