Amanda & I decided we have so much extra footage floating around the timeline, that it would be fun for us to randomly pick 20 seconds here, 30 seconds there and post it on a consistent basis :)

This first teaser is just Larry cruising along some road... somewhere *shrug* I'm too lazy to look it up :) but it's pretty where-ever it is.

    you're such a tease. damn you!

    this looks so beautiful.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    I know :P I feel bad... I wanted it to be a longer clip, but Amanda made me cut it short...

    Thanks though :) I'm glad you like it... I'll try to stand my ground next time and make sure it's not such a total tease.

    I just got that song out of my head!! Thanks :P
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Mu wha ha ;) Why would you want this song out of your head? It's great *
  • Reyer Kolle 1 year ago
    what would said song be?
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Reyer :) the song is called 'The Sun Smells Too Loud' by Mogwai. It's fantastic *thumbs up*

    Wonderful wonderful!! I just got hit by a car on wednesday and this makes me want to get back on already.
    P.S. WEAR A HELMET!! It costs me 8 stitches to my dome.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Oh no! :( Man... that's scary. Be careful out there! I'm glad it was only 8 stitches though... and yes, wear your helmet ;p I know Larry isn't in this shot *shrug* but hey...
  • Larry McKurtis 1 year ago
    Sorry man, I wore a helmet for maybe 3 descents of the large passes. It's a bad habit, I know, and I hope that your dome is healed up well!
    I just like the wind in my hair...
    And like Mike and Amanda, I miss the hell out of the road.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    I'm guilty of it too - I wore my helmet all of like 2 times on my bike trips :P Yea... it's the wind in your hair...
  • Larry McKurtis 1 year ago
    when I crashed in April I hit my head and most likely got a concussion, as I was retarded and tired for like 3 days, on top of breaking my wrist.
    I need to get a helmet, I really want a hockey helmet though.
  • Nabil Kazerouni 1 year ago
    Hahaha! I know what you mean! I love the wind in my hair. It's just a more personal. I feel you on that one. Broken wrist sounds terrible and the hockey helmet couldnt be more amazing. Hopefully one of these days you guys will come to Santa Cruz and ride the coast to San Francisco. Consider that an open invitation. Take care.

    Oh and I love all of you videos man. Freaking brilliant! I made around 20 of my close friends watch all your clips.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Thanks so much! I'm super flattered you're showing your friends - not to mention that many! :)

    North Dakota... somewhere
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago

  • Ben Millett 1 year ago
    I really, really like this. Really. Everything about it. The music, the clip itself, etc. This gets me really excited for the film.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Ben :) Thank you very much. I'm so hooked on this song, ever since Karen posted it :P Watching this clip really makes me miss the road... I'm glad you're excited :)

    Nice to get to see some out takes of actual footage. The depth of field is amazing. One man and One bike in the middle of nowhere. Makes for good drama. Bravo Mike.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey DaVinci :) I'm glad you like it - Larry was very much in the middle of no where here. I miss being there sometimes...
  • Dave A 1 year ago
    The middle of nowhere is all relative-- in reality it's a state of mind :-)

    And its somewhere everyone needs to go.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    I agree :) the places I think most would assume are the least exciting areas... the tall-grass fields that last for weeks... the badlands in Montana... those are my favorite places to be. I learn the most there.

    That was after North Dakota, cause I got that headband in Minnesota for like 30 cents. I think it's in Minnesota or maybe Iowa...
    And you can't make the film, after watching this, I think the bike makes me look fat.
    AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Oh yea, you did buy that headband :) Amanda and I were trying to remember. We were also laughing about the time I ate that damn KitKat I found... not a good idea... at all :P

    Fat? You are too funny :)
  • Larry McKurtis 1 year ago
    AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That KitKat!! I still can't believe you ate that thing.
    That was the most Homer Simpson thing ever.
    Who knows how old that thing was, or where it came from!
    I forgot about that! AAHAHA!! Oh man I was in tears just now thinking about how excited you were to eat that mysterious kit kat... Not a good idea, but freakin hilarious!!
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Yea ;) I'll have to try to work that clip into an episode in the future... ohh memories :P
  •  
  • islebehere plus 1 year ago
    can't wait!
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Islebehere :) I... can't wait either - I wish I could lock myself away sometimes and *just* work on the film... not have to worry about anything else until it's done :P

  • Remyyy plus 1 year ago
    Une autre, une autre !!! (one more)
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Remyyy :) You won't have to wait long - it's Amanda's turn to pick out the next one.
  •  
  • I thought of you when I saw mogwai on Monday.


    Gosh..this is gonna be so good I can't even stand it.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Aww :) you said "gosh" - I'm so jealous you got to see them! I loved what you wrote about how it felt to listen to "Jim Morrison". I love those moments.

    I hope it's decent at least :P that would be... a let down...
  • Larry McKurtis 1 year ago
    I found out they came to SF two days after the fact,
    and I almost cried.

  • Ayz Waraich 1 year ago
    god that shot is gorgeous. the scope framing works beautifully. ;)

    so when do you project for the film to be completed? weeks, months, or years?
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Hey Ayz :) Thanks! Uhm... as for when it will be done *shrug* never made a movie before :P hopefully not "years", but it might be one of them... I don't know, I worried we are too slow sometimes.
  • Ayz Waraich 1 year ago
    A lot of us are looking forward to seeing it. So hurry up already. ;)
  •  
  • fexbmx 1 year ago
    I love the format and also this beautiful surrounding.
    I wanna cross the States on my bike!
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Fexbmx :) I highly recommend crossing the state or even the country on your bike - it's the best way to go exploring.

  • Justin Adams 1 year ago
    OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!! I am totally in suspense. We need to know where that dude is going. Give us a clue. Do it! Oh wait, there is a second teaser? I must watch it not!
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    I thought when you said "not" you were being a bit Shakespearean ;)
  •  
  • Justin Adams 1 year ago
    LOL, I meant *now* not *not*. I need to start typing with one had again
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 1 year ago
    ;)
