Default "Why We Ride" Video

Not sure if you have heard of this video documentary called "Why we Ride" but I got it for Christmas and really enjoyed the video. It covers all bikes and types of riding from street, racing, and dirt. Still thought they did a great job with it and thought you guys might also enjoy it. It is showing at select smaller movie theaters but the DVD is less than $25 shipped. Check it out on line.

Yeah, there have been several threads on this over the last few months. I actually saw it in our local movie theater and it was well attended (I think Milwaukee had two showings). I agree with you - I thought the movie was nicely done. I bought the DVD on Amazon after viewing it, too, along with On Any Sunday.

For folks that haven't heard of Why We Ride before, you can view the trailer on the movie website, here.

I got a copy of it for Christmas as well. Excellent movie. It will be interesting to see if it gets any Academy awards nominations this year. Best documentary should be possible.

Yup, old news. It's been posted a number of times and can be found in the Video section where it belongs.
