Road Fools 1 Featurette

Props just dropped this awesome documentary from the Road Fools box set that dropped a little while back. This is 24 minutes of words from a bunch of the original crew that started the legendary series. This is awesome and I HIGHLY advise you go BUY THE BOXSET!

“Created for the Road Fools box set earlier this summer, this 24 minute documentary features all the riders from the first crew looking back at the trip on its 15 year anniversary.

In the early wintery months of 1998, a group of friends embarked on a road trip to ride their bikes. Little known to them at the time, their journey would become legendary and gave birth to the Road Fools series.

Featuring Dave Freimuth, Robbie Morales, Sandy Carson, Taj Mihelich, Joe Rich and Jimmy Levan.“

Review: Props – Road Fools Box Set

A few months ago, Chris Rye announced that he was in the process of putting together a collectors edition box set that would include all of the Road Fools videos that Props produced in its time along with some bonus footage and extra features that would help show its legendary history to the fullest. For those of you who have been riding BMX for years, you most likely have some good memories from the hours you spent watching the videos, getting stoked, remembering the lines and riding that has pushed BMX to new levels like myself.
A few weeks back, the box set was finally completed and recently released for riders from around the world to relive all of the miles that were racked up in its nearly 15 year history. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a copy to check out and figured I would put together this review for you to check out.

Wow.. I forgot how insanely stacked Road Fools 12 was. Today Props uploaded Day 4 from the trip which featured the guys getting down in Pittsburgh. Maybe it’s just younger me getting super stoked on all of these guys, or that I’ve had the chance to check out a good number of these spots in real life… But I think this is a serious must see. So awesome.

Props – Road Fools 1 Is Being Remasted for RF Box Set

Leave a Comment

Oh hell yeah. Props announced that they will be re-mastered Road Fools 1 as part of a full box set from all the Road Fools and Rock and Roll tours. Anyone who has been in BMX for 10+ years is probably drooling since this is going to be amazing. So stoked about this. Check out the official word from them below.

“Check out this nice little article by ESPN’s Brian Tunney about the Road Fools 1 re-mastering that’s going on! If you didn’t hear, we’re finally going to be releasing a complete Road Fools box set on Blu-ray with all the videos, RF 1-18 and the 2 Rock and Roll Tours.

Since the only master of the original Road Fools 1 is on analog S-VHS, the video is undergoing a complete re-edit and re-mastering from the source DV footage tapes to produce a native DV master for the box set.

We’re also putting together a Road Fools book, which will be available as a traditional coffee table print book and also as an interactive digital iBook version that will be available for download on iPads. All coming this year!”
