Klunkerz... a collection of characters with various ambitions

yep... I got a copy of Klunkerz
so last night I sat down with cargo mike and a couple of beers and put in the film
the selection of beer was random
but in hindsight Anchor Steam Bock may have the right beer of choice
as Anchor Steam is from the bay area
the bay area is the setting for this film about the birth of the mountain bike

the film is fantastic
there is so much information presented
more than just focusing on the core group of riders
but trying to incorporate mention of all the cross interaction of other people doing similar stuff on their bikes
and the influence that this cross interaction had on the development of what we know as the mountain bike

the footage is mind boggling
the hammering on the skinny tire bikes
a young gary fisher riding cross on terrain that is way beyond any cyclocross race promoter would consider putting in a cross race of the modern age
the stills and the super 8
the interviews
the stories and the perspective of those that lived it
this film had to be made
I am so pleased that Bill Savage took on the task

Bill Savage (the director) told this amazing story with the fluidity of a seasoned film maker
that this is his first documentary project is shocking as the feature is nothing short of pro
the edits are seamless
the flow is fantastic

so much information is covered but it is presented in an exciting and entertaining way
that these moments in time were documented made this mountain bike scrapbook much more interesting

Charlie Kelly's Website was clearly a great place for Bill Savage to start his documentary film story boards
