I’ve posted the trailer of this German documentary before, and now the dvd is finally out!

It has been a hell of a ride for us, since we came up with the idea of making a film about the fixed gear phenomenon. A film that captures German fixed gear culture on the crossroad between subculture and mainstream. A film that respectfully connects both worlds. A cycling documentary.

After six months of shooting in different locations throughout Germany and almost two months of editing, we finally celebrated the world premiere in Berlin on September 4th, 2009. Numerous screenings all over the world followed, such as unique events like the Bicycle Film Festival in Vienna, the Velofest in Skopje, Macedonia.

This DVD release is hand-stamped, hand-numbered andstrictly limited to 150 copies only.
The DVD contains film (German, 16:9, Stereo, 36′) and trailer(German, 16:9, Stereo, 4’30″) with optional English subtitles.

Price:    9,50 €

Shipping & handling:

2 € – Germany
4 € – Europe
6 € – worldwide

That’s not much money for what I think will be a very cool movie! Get it now!

Critical Film – A documentary about a very special weekend of cyclo cross racing. It only took 126 km of dirt, gravel and cobblestones devided in 4 stages between Dresden and Leipzig, 80 racers, 9 hours, 35°C, 600 liters of water, a ton of food, a world cup quarterfinal and many many enthusiastic souls, to make this an unbelievable experience.

They call it “CRITICAL DIRT – A study in crossification”.

e r t z u i ° film has captured this event along the dirt with our very own perspective.

Music: Tortoise – Ten Day Interval (TNT, 1998)

Bag is packed, bike is o.k. and I’m ready for the ECMC 2009! I just heard today I’ve got a place to crash looking out over the race course thanks my good friend Uli. So what can go wrong? Yes I didn’t forget the buttons. Anyway this will be my last “normal” post for a week. I’ve been practicing with my iPhone WordPress app a few times now so I’ll try to blog “live” from Berlin. These posts gonna be mainly pictures because there ain’t no spelling checker to check my fucced up english. And the pictures wouldn’t be the best quality but I will do my best to keep this blog alive next week.

See ya all in Berlin!

And here is a great movie to check your German language skills!
