What's the bit of music through the Maribor section. It's very familiar, but slightly different to what I'm thinking of, which I can't quite place. Must be a track by the same people I think, who are they?

Have answered my own questions with google. The band is Swollen Members, the track I'm thinking of is Watch This (the one on the video is Pressure).

[Salami]

Because they have big balls.

The atherton project? Me too. Are there any other team vlogs that are worth watching? Never looked at the yeti/specialized/santacruz stuff - I'm thinking they wont be as personal as the AP?

 

[UiUiUiUi]

the yeti vids are nice have a look!

AP is great to bad i cant stand gee...

Yeah, I think a lot of people don't get his sense of humour. That plus he is a bit arrogant, but that's not an uncommon trait in competitve sportspeople.

Did you see episode 3 of entourage? it goes hand in hand with you not liking a character.

Entourage is that HBO TV show, right?

if so i did not know it exists until you mentioned it on here
guess it did not make it over the pond just yet
AND i barely watch TV
sorry

I'm a fan of entourage, and despite having watched the episode in question, I've no idea what he's talking about

Because they are in every Match Stick Productions movie ever (probably not true, but I like generalizations, they make life simple).

On a similar note I once went to a ski movie premier where Swollen was performing after the screening. Half the audience was a bunch of skiers who probably don't own a Swollen album. The other half was Swollen fans who could give a **** less about some white guys on skis spinning around in the air and jumping off of cliffs.

The Swollen fans just looked confused for an hour then started chanting for Swollen Members before the movie even finished. Good stuff.

whats it like watching a show about stoners, while being stoned?

Anyways, In the last episode Eric's new client has that new pilot show, the chick Eric is bangin at his house is checking out the show...she says "I hate your character guy" and Eric asks "why?"...she replies with "I don't know, I just hate him".

(relates to the fact that the guy in here says he hates Gee for no apparent reason...)

i just dont like him or better the persona i got to know through interviews videos etc.

fixed

I met him after the race in Maribor last year, seemed a pretty cool guy. Tried to buy him a beer but couldn't get served at the bar (as in it was really busy, not that I didn't have ID or something!) and I think in the end he got served first and bought one for me, result!
