Episode Three: Casting Call (or: Hello, my name is...)

share this   |   'save as'   |   Democracy: Internet TV
Hopefully you've watched Episode Two, and have a basic understanding of "how" the relationship between bikers and crew will function.

Here's what we are looking for: A small group of bicyclists - already planning to ride coast to coast (west to east), preferably along Adventure Cycling's Northern Route, during the months June & July of this year.
The less money you have as a group: the better. The more you are fundamentally opposed to staying in hotels and hitching rides: the better.

So, how does this work? Easy - simply introduce yourself. You can do this by sending an email. You can write a blog post and leave a link in the comments of this site. You can use your friend's camera to post a video on Blip.tv, Revver or YouTube. Contact us through Pedal's mySpace.

Be creative. This process is simply an introduction. The more you include - the better for starting a conversation.

The deadline for introductions is May 1st.
(Note: I should make it clear that Pedal is not a safety net... meaning Pedal will not be financially involved or supportive in anyone's travels. We are merely searching for people who are comfortable in being tailed - as unobtrusively as possible, of course.)

Another great video. They all have a great feel to them. As a videoblog this is going to be great, and I also think this will have a long life as a full and completed documentary on DVD or whatever.

Oh, and it'll be especially cool on JETSET. ;)

@Steve: Thank you very much. I hope you're right! I really feel like the ball is rolling again... it's scary.

And I can't wait for JETSET - I agree.

I hope everything is going well with the project and I've tried to tell as many people as I can to look out for it. Good luck with everything.

@FemGeek: Everything lately has been going great with the project. Hopefully I'll be able to spill the beans on "everything" soon enough :)

You rock for helping spread the word!
