Although a hard-nosed cycling critic may find the fake rainbow stripes and the masking of the UCI as an organization called the WCF a travesty, the film is a boon for the awareness of the sport.<BR/><BR/>To whine that there was not enough detail on his Bipolar disorder means that you have completely missed the point... It's The Flying Scotsman, not The Pissy Scotsman. <BR/><BR/>Anyways,<BR/>Cheers.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221321946895802542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-17508071352992316922007-10-04T22:17:00.000-05:002007-10-04T22:17:00.000-05:00In 1993 I attended an evening of racing at the Spo...In 1993 I attended an evening of racing at the Sportspalace Velodrome in Ghent, BE, and was there for an exhibition match of (3) prusuiters, including Obree. It was a great event, and I was very lucky to see him ride against a French national champion, and a Belgian rider. I'm fuzzy on who competed against him, but I remember him winning, using the special position. I'm going to be renting this one. Great review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-24550371758475736022007-10-04T20:15:00.000-05:002007-10-04T20:15:00.000-05:00obree's story is fascinating, and it could have ma...obree's story is fascinating, and it could have made for an incredible film - but this movie is pure cheese. it barely even touches on his mental issues, and most of the track scenes are too goofy to be inspiring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-34425891555699871822007-10-04T20:10:00.000-05:002007-10-04T20:10:00.000-05:00netflix's even has it [their cycling selection is ...netflix's even has it [their cycling selection is sparse at best]. thanks for the great entries of late.blue squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09323646795956411769noreply@blogger.com
