As ... http://www.offroadtoathens.com/community/journal/2005/11/18/last-chapter/ Wednesday, April 13 Two days before the World Premiere 11 am I just sat down. I’m getting glared at. Bad. After travelling around the world last year, you’d think I would be savvy enough to leave my brand new Crank Brothers 19 Allen Tool in my bike box and not put it into ... http://www.offroadtoathens.com/community/journal/2005/04/21/world-premiere/ There really are only a number of hours left until the first screening of this film.

Instead, we are returning phone calls, following up with e-mails and making new ... http://www.offroadtoathens.com/community/journal/2004/10/29/to-the-grindstone/ 10.14 Man, each day we’ve worked hard and each day we get closer to wrapping the film. After leaving Dan’s place in Gunnison, we stopped a few blocks down and interviewed Susan DeMattei (sp?) since she is the only American to win an Olympic medal. Big thanks to her and Dave ... http://www.offroadtoathens.com/community/journal/2004/10/20/eastbound/ 10.12 Currently we are driving through Ouray, Colorado. It’s in the lower part of the state, just North of Durango. Not sure what you do for fun in Ouray but there are some serious cliffs surrounding the place. Ultra-sketch road coming here. Ken and I were both very gripped driving around ... http://www.offroadtoathens.com/community/journal/2004/10/14/headed-to-usac/ Ken, Alison and Greg before an “epic” in Moab. No riding for me. http://www.offroadtoathens.com/community/journal/2004/10/11/moab/ Here I am, scared as hell, scoring a killer shot for - ??
