Cool An idea for a REAL motorcycle stunting movie

considering how badly hollywood flopped on making a motorcycle movie (which is usually the case), I wanted to bring up the film by Espn called Ultimate X. Many of you probably didnt get a chance to see this movie, because it was only in IMAX theatres. the website is here-

http://expn.go.com/ultimatex/

here is the site for IMAX-

http://www.imax.com

This film was AWESOME, the camera work, the dialoge, the music, the crowds, the sounds, and everything about it was just incredible. It was a documentary on extreme sports, using super high quality film and sound. No story lines or corny dialogue, just an incredible film.

I really wish you could have seen this film, and how well it was done. It was easily one of the best films/movies/shows I have ever seen anywhere, I saw it 3 times, and even my wife loved it. For those who did see it, you know what I'm talking about

Mike

I saw ultimate x in the theater. Cool movie, but for $10 i wanted more than half an hour. The cinematography was def top notch in every aspect, but as far as documentrys go it left quite a bit to be desired, they only got into 2 riders. Also it didn't have any "never seen before" footage. If you watched the X games, and gravity games then you've seen ultimate x.
A movie isnt gonna stay in theathers for more than a week without a plot involving murder and/or breasts.

I have an idea, but it would take a LONG time to film....

Ya need to find a new rider, someone just putting on the wheels and send him all over the country to different groups for like two weeks each.

Let each group show him a little. At the end of like two years...check out what he can do.

Or even do it with like 10 different people and at the end of the 2 years hold a contest between them.

I volunteer for that, I need to find somebody that knows their **** and is willing to share their knowledge (as soon as I get my next bike) and stop trying to do this the hard way.

I thought that movie was all about dirt bikes and motorcross? Thatz y i didn't go see it. If it got sportbikes in there then i'll check it out! Daamn yal never heard of a "Imax theatre" ?? Well i guess thatz not 2 uncommon? Therez alot of people that i tried 2 explain what a imaxx theatre iz and they were lost. I was like damn am i the only person that knowz about this? Imaxx theatre iz sick!! I love the movies in there!! I seen the Micheal Jordan movie and Mt. Everest!! Both were excellent 2 say the least! Imaxx theatre putz u right there! U feel like ur right in the action! Like when i was watchin these movies i felt like i was up on top of the summit of Mt. Everest!! And court side 2 Jordanz dunkz! It was amazing! I recommend u see a movie where u can find a imaxx theatre!

IMAX is the ****!

Anybody else see the caves or the forest fire?

I am a cavern diver, I'm moving into caves soon, the cave show was the ****!

The forest fire one had smokesjumpers, it felt like you were throwing yourself out of the plane right next to them, pimp, straight pimp.
