soooo, i'm doing this thing, I guess it's a commercial for Taco Time (good, good, fresh, fresh!) and the guy asked me if I knew a GUY that would be interested.

He'd prefer someone non-caucasian but not crucial, just needs someone to commit.

They'll be filming all day Monday.

Call him directly at 206-200-6992, his name is Jens.

Get on it!

p.s. He said NO spandex, hooray!

details;

Here is a unique opportunity to support BBTC and also be a movie start (sort of). I'm working with a creative company that is filming a Taco Time commercial that features mountain biking. We're going to be filming this week for 2 full days. Hopefully Monday & Tuesday, but its weather dependent, so you would need to be available all week.



You would be paid standard union rates for extras in a commercial (about $160), and I am hoping that participants donate the money they make back to BBTC, which is a fully tax deductible donation. They need one or two good woman riders wearing standard mountain bike gear.



Be famous, have fun, and support the trails all at once!!! If you want to do this, call Jens on his cell phone TODAY at 206-200-6992.

NO. I mean, NO.

WHere's the ride at? Are they looking for fit xc dude's or downhillers?

Damn...that sounds like a decent opp. - thanks for the head's up. I'll be busy reclaiming MY bike (this loaner is OK, but Andy don't like OK) on Mon., so there's no way I can do it...as much as I'd like to give it a go.

Donate the $$ back?.... only if i can skid on a trail or 2......

Bwaaaahahahahaha!!!! I'll bet you could hear my laughter from all the way down there!

Seems fair to me.

 

[NineFingers]

I was thinking on maybe donating what it takes for a membership, but if I'm giving up the day or two for some shots out at Seatac or something then the other portion would go to the pocket.

OR donate $$ for shovels, etc. for the unemployed trailworkers down there?

lol... Are you one of the diggers? I hit that place up once back in June, great place but I heard there's been alot of additions to it since. One of my buddies rides there weekly and he's a big fan of the table at the bottom and that big trail gap near the parking lot. He says that whenever he goes no one is around though, but I hear people talking about it all the time so I'm just wondering if theres certain times that people go or if its a hit and miss type of situation. I'd like to go check it out today again but I'm hackin' up a lung here, gotta love weather changes...

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

Yeah, fought of an early-season bug earlier this week myself.
Basically, we don't spend much time there during peak-summer...to damned hot/dry, nettles are over-abundant then, all the big trails are finally ridable and SST is teeming w/ mosquitoes during summer.
From now until late-spring, we will be fixtures out there. Until I get a job, I'll be out there at least a weekday or two and then one, if not both, weekend days.
Still haven't gotten addicted to the snow sports scene as of yet...still 24-7/365 on the bike.

p.s. - a few new wrinkles here and there, but it's essentially the same place you saw in June...essentially.

p.p.s. - I couldn't do that shoot even if I did have MY bike...I'm more of a dude than a guy.

 

[TWISTED]

So taco time is looking for two good female mountainbikers, but they can't be white? Good luck.

 

[Megan Black]

Yeah, I kinda laughed at that whole "giving it back to the BBTC" part. I think I'll pocket the money. If the BBTC needs my contribution, I'll go on a few work parties on the weekend, where it's not conflicting with my work!

Anyway, I'll let you all know how it goes!

see, you have revealed through this post, megan black, that you are indeed the news woman on tv.

Wasn't directed at you, but I suppose it could have (and was) perceived that way.
:
I was actually just wondering where this was going to take place as well.

I should be glad you didn't flame-off on me like that WARider guy.

 

[NateH]

I've been gone for a week and just got home. Is the possition still open? That would look sweet on a resume.

"see, you have revealed through this post, megan black, that you are indeed the news woman on tv."

biggy: i have revealed nothing! A real newsreporter wouldn't have to do Taco Time commercials on her downhill bike just to get a little airtime, now would she??

NateH: you might want to call them, we did some work today but tomorrow they are going to shoot some more, with more mountain bikers...get on it!

Today was a blast! It was interesting to see the work put into something like this, the director even got snippy with us at one point, even made a rude comment towards me, just like a real hollywood production! There were a couple crazy stunt guys who were telling us cool stories about their jobs. One guy did the movement for the recent "Hulk" film and fought Harrison Ford in "Airforce One". The other guy double Oprah once on the tonight show (?????). I have to say the best part was having a water boy

So, it'll probably air in a month or so, maybe I'll make it into the final cut. Can't wait to see it put together. There was a really great shot of someone endoing, that's for sure going to be in there. Anyone else here signed up for tomorrow??

p.s. today was filmed at tiger mtn

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

Cool! Good to hear you had a blast and, yes, hope you make 'the cut' on that spot!!!

Too bad they didn't witness the endo I saw a couple weeks ago just before the K.E. Camp - textbook, right down to the mud goatee.

I'll be there in spirit - I'll channel the vibes from down @ seatac...gotta' smack my bee-yotch up some before Whistler.

 

[Skookum]

Doh i missed my opportunity to dress up in a cactus uniform and ride my bike down Iverson! Oh well i guess i can make my own cactus uniform and do it on my spare time.....
