Title: Schwinn 'American Muscle'
Post by: subversion on December 22, 2008, 06:59 PM
Bumped into this on Vimeo & as I hadn't seen it before, I sat & watched it through. Have to say I do miss these kind of feel-good bike vids from the mid skool era :'(

It was produced by Chris & Marco of Props so is quite well put together & there are a few stand out sections worthy of anyone's time, particularly if you love front brake tech stuff (as do I):

Dave Osato - 07:27
Jay Miron - 18:15
Spain section - 27:25

One of my favourite vids ever.

Love the Brian Foster, Joey Garcia and Canadian Beast sections.

Standouts are that loooooooooong manual Joey Garcia does to open up his section.  Also the double flip by Miron.

Does Joey Garcia still ride?  I know he had serious knee problems at a very young age.
