Our own Splinter Wrenn, many of you know as the announcer at the events was
one of the Russians in the American Flyer movie.

Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] best cyscling movie
Iam really surprised to see that not one person so far has mentioned
"American Flyer". I was actually only talking to one of the guys who was an
extra in that movie (actually all the extras were olympic national teams for
the 84 Olympics in LA)on a training ride a couple of weeks ago. But have to
admit that " A SUNDAY IN HELL" IS THE ONE, YOUR LEGS ACHE JUST WATCHING IT.
I am of the opinion that "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" is the greatest
cycling
movie ever made. I know it's not about racing, or at all realistic.
But
a
movie that we find to be accurate wouldn't be appealing to the majority
of
non-cyclists. Who cares if cyclists like a cycling movie. We already
ride.
The reason I feel this is that it shows the passion that a person has
for
a bike. Riding is seen as actually fun. It could motivate kids to
start
riding more. And, it's funny (many cyclists take themselves way too
seriously). So, what does obra land think?
