Track Bike Times Trailer


While the path for fixed gear documentaries and videos was largely paved by the San Francisco-set MASH SF, since then many of the recent fixie documentaries seemed to have emanated from another bike mecca in New York. Enter Track Bike Times who are in the midst of creating a new San Francisco-centric video with a short glimpse into the video seen here.

RISE UP MOVIE


Yes! It's IDFA again!
Thinking of Jamaica usually conjures up an image of peace-loving Rastafarians with thick dreadlocks surrounded by even thicker clouds of hash smoke who play reggae tunes and sing the praises of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie. Luciano Blotta's self-conscious documentary Rise Up provides ample support of that cliché, but he simultaneously shows that behind the clever export product that reggae has become, a world of poverty and underdevelopment is lurking. In the minds of many young Jamaicans, the only way out is a career in music, but the competition is overwhelming, so everyone tries to display their talent wherever and whenever they can. Blotta follows three young people who are trying to rise up from the underground: there's the shy Kemoy, who sings beautiful R&B-like songs; the white Ice, whose biggest dream is to perform at the famous Reggae Sumfest; and the charismatic Turbulence, who almost ended up living a life of crime before he thought better of it. These days, Turbulence's goal is to "Eat good food, have good life, make music." Blotta interweaves the three storylines with lots of music (watch out for the guy with the one-stringed guitar), atmospheric shots of the city and country, and the commentary, which is spoken in juicy Jamaican English by a trio of experts from the music world. Sly and Robbie stop by, as well as the legendary Lee Perry, to say that Kemoy has a lot of talent. But apparently talent alone isn't enough not by a long shot

NIKE ACG KIMONO JACKET


Combining the old world traditions of Japan under a new medium, the Nike ACG Kimono jacket came to fruition under a trip to Japan by Global Design Director Stewart Horner. Seeing the intricate and painstaking process of creating Kimono fabrics, Stewart Horner set out to re-create this same traditional process under the pretense of a highly technical 3-Layer Storm-Fit performance jacket. Although the outer layers of the jacket are simplistic in nature, the inner workings of the jacket include some strong aspects of design for integration with hardware.
