Will Ride 4 Food Video - (Part 1)

Mar 20, 2008

Last year Transition Bikes set out to document all of it's factory riders and showcase each one of their unique styles. Will Ride for Food is a celebration of riders who hold down jobs while being fully sponsored. This 2 part video features Mike Metzger, Dylan Tremblay, JS, Trent Kidd, Evan Holmgren, Carl Buchanan, Ian Nelson, Andy Grant, Brad Walton and Travis Erickson.

The reality is that there are very few mountain bikers who get paid to ride full time. Will Ride 4 Food chronicles ten Transition Bikes factory riders who are doing it not for the money but for the pure love of our sport. These riders have much more to risk when they are putting everything on the line to learn new tricks or push themselves at a competition. Getting injured to the point of not being able to work can have serious consequences but few of these riders take that into consideration. Our hats are off to every rider that holds down a 9 to 5 job just so they can afford to ride.


Part 2 of this video will be released next week on PinkBike.com so stay tuned.

yes, at the top of your browser, go into tools> Internet Options> Temporary files settings> View files. and then just copy and paste from that folder in2 ur video folder. you have to wait for the video to load 100% first and ul also hav to convert it to mp4 as it will be in flash video format. But 2 be honest, i think this method is just taking the piss out of the hard work that goes into these videos and instead of stealing, you should just wait and buy the dvd. ps. this method works with ANY videos on the internet: inc youtube etc.

PS. it also helps if you right click> arrange by size. then all the videos will be either at the top or the bottom, and theyre not easily named, pinkbike vids will be called PB- then the IP address, but it tells you the website it came from so that helps. Id just like to point out that I AM NOT IN ANY MEANS ENCORAGING PEOPLE TO STEAL BIKING VIDEOS THAT PEOPLE HAVE PUT ALOT OF WORK INTO. however youtube videos are more acceptable Razz

Um, I think it is obvious already that they are working to ride and probrably not exactly raking in the $$... Why don't you wait and buy the whole video and help the starving riders (who ride better than most big $$ riders) get a few bucks so they can at least buy a beer and burger after a session. They are great guys and would appreciate the respect for their hard work and sacrifice.

Dotca, I think that Udog is refering to Bunkey0207's comments on how to further download and distribute the video.

Actually... the video is 100% free, even when it comes to DVD copies. Those will be released later and aside from postage won't cost anyone a dime.

Download away!
