      The new teaser is great Lotfy! Super compelling and the music is bumpin. Keep it up, can't wait to see more.

      Producing this documentary is important because it shows the American urban community saying "fuck your law and your belief ima do what i want". Ktm rider...your mainstream riding doesn't compare to Street and yes 90% of those bikes and ATV's are stolen though if people cant keep their merchandise in a safe guarded area then...sucks for them..this is the world we live in. This documentary is awesome and the film makers and doing something no one else had the balls to do.

      "Not out here to hurt nobody" - guy from the end of the film. WRONG. I was at a stop light when about 30 of them rolled passed... stopping all traffic. One of them stopped a normal driver mid turn by pulling up right in front of his car and spitting on his hood. Another one stopped right in front of my car and looked behind me at the rest of his gang. When he drove off he flashed his shirt up revealing the gun tucked into the back of his pants.

      Would love to know what the soundtrack for your trailer is! I'm just as interested in the Baltimore Sound that you mention as I am the movie.

      As a REAL dike bike rider and racer for 25 yrs. I have just one question, Did you touch on exactly how these inner city kids aquired a $7,000 bike bike? I am willing to bet the six bikes that were stolen from my sponsors shop in a smaller community in Md. ended up in your video.
      Oh, and way to glorify illegal activity and give dumbasses a platform to be idiots...

      You haven't updated in a since October. I'm interested to hear how the film is coming along.

      I am interested to see how you present the riders in a longer feature. To many, they are more than just obnoxious, but dangerous, reckless, unlicensed criminals - just because your local rec center is closed isn't an excuse to be an asshole. Obviously I am biased against the riders... can't wait to see the movie.

      I tried explaining this phenomenon to my west coast friends, but they had no clue. Well folks, here it is! Good luck!

      Boatbuilder: There will be coverage of the death you mentioned, I have been meeting with the family of Alphonso Gaye Jr.

      As for the assault on the driver, this is covered in a news interview between two of the riders and a WJZ 13 reporter.

    17. Missing_small

      Creator boatbuilder on October 1, 2010

      Will there be any coverage, or interviews regarding the death of an unrelated motorcyclist that tried to avoid an accident with one of these riders on May 30th.? Or of the assault on the driver of a car that one of these riders crashed into, and subsequently beat up (June 2nd)?

      Love this. Just contributed. I've spent many years in Baltimore and have witnessed both the beauty and ugly of this phenomenon. I really look forward to this. would love to know if you are looking for contributing producers as well.

      BTW - we're flying off to South Korea tonight for 21 days for a doc called Found in Korea. We used kickstarter and got fully funded. Couldn't have made it possible with out it.

      Really like to see the angle about nowhere for the kids to turn played out. funny how breaking the law is a thread, yet Baltimore's previous mayor was just convicted. legend.

      i wish you the best of luck. Sending this to all my Baltimore peeps now.

      What's the background track you play around 1:44 through 2:15 in the intro video? Also, good luck getting funded.

      Creator Justin and Haneen on September 29, 2010

      Have you guys had any fundraisers or anything? I feel like more people in Baltimore would be into this. I want to give more, but we're fundraising as well.

      Creator Nisha Ramnath on September 23, 2010

      I see this film as one that endures the test of time and sets a standard for documentary making far beyond this decade. From the trailer and updates I can see that it's about more than just dirt bikes and the law in Baltimore City. I'm so excited about this and can't wait for it to be finished. I really hope you get the funding.

      This is such a great project. I hope you guys get funded!
