AMC – Ride with Norman Reedus
So I may be one of the only people on the planet that does not watch The Walking Dead. Don’t hate I just have other things I do.
With that out of the way the news that Norman Reeds, A.K.A. Daryl Dixon will have his choice of motorcycles and riding partners to choose from on his new unscripted series for AMC, Ride With Norman Reedus. AMC and unscripted don’t seem to go together and any reality T.V is suspect but I admit to having highish hopes for this one.
Announced October 2015, the six-episode series follows Reedus and a different riding companion each week as they travel to a destination and explore motorcycle culture. Which sounds a bit vague, weak on substance, and hopefully isn’t a portent into the lack if interesting info.
“We start on that this week,” says Reedus. “It’s our first ride. Our first guest is kind of a surprise, but it’s a big one, and I’m excited to get started. We have a bunch of cool places to go and cool people to meet. I’m excited to get out of here and go do that.”
“We spread them out so that we can hit all these different locations and not be rushed and have a really good time, “ he says. “And it’s really thought out — where we’re going and who we’re meeting and the rides that we’re taking. So we spread them out so that we can do the best job possible.”
“I’m going to ride different bikes,” says Reedus. “We already have a few motorcycle companies and can swap our bikes for different terrain and stuff. We’re going to explore a little bit. It’s kind of a man on a tour and on a journey, but it’s also different horses for different areas. Whatever bike is best for that space and that time frame and that rider too. We’ll have certain riders that only want to ride a certain type of bike and other riders that are down to ride whatever we put them on. We’ll switch it up quite a bit.”
“It’s kind of a dream job. I’ve got two dream jobs going at the same time. I’m waiting for something bad to happen. My luck is too good. I’m just going to do it and have fun and hopefully people will like it as much as I do shooting it.”
