you should sign up on the email list about the DVD....there is no date yet if and when it will be out yet.
i believe it is from the late 60's and 70's, so pre-digger and dan. this film has been only shown at film festivals so it is hard to see. for those who are in the area, you are lucky and don't miss out on this opportunity to see some very rare footage. my friends who have seen this movie say it is awesome.

Hey All,
Thanks for the support. It was really cool to have Gary Fisher, Joe Breeze, Charlie Kelly, and all the other guys come to the screening. Quite a party after, too. I'm trying to get the deal for the DVD happening in time for InterBike. Please sign the 'guest book' at www.klunkerz.com if you want to be on the list for screenings, DVD release, parties, etc. Ride on.

Is there any chance of watching this if you live in Spain? I'm guessing there'll be no premiere but will it come out on DVD?
