Klunkerz

The Fish-man is back at it again! Gary Fisher and his mtb veterans star in Billy Savage's new documentary. Here is some info. I snagged from the Fisher website:

"Director and California native, Billy Savage, will be screening Klunkerz Sunday, January 21, at the X-Dance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. X-Dance is a four-day showcase for the best action sports films. The event celebrates the films and culture that are a critical to all action sports. For more information including the screening schedule see: www.x-dance.com.

Klunkerz was a two-year passion project for Billy Savage. The former skateboarder and lifetime mountain biker, collected archival footage and still photography from those early days on Mount Tamalpais and culled interviews with those original pioneers to help recreate the scene that sparked “mountain biking” as we know it. The feature-length documentary premiered in October 2006 and has been playing select film festivals since then. For more Klunkerz information and a trailer visit: www.klunkerz.com." - www.fisherbikes.com

I'm predicting some impatience on my part until this video is released!
