PROJECT
BIG DIRTY IS A FIXED-GEAR CYCLING/RACING CLUB BASED IN BEIJING, CHINA. IT IS A ROWDY MIX OF GERMAN AND AMERICAN EXPATS, LOCAL BEIJING KIDS, AND URBAN CYCLING KAMIKAZES LIVING AND BIKING IN ONE OF THE DIRTIEST PLACES ON EARTH, WHICH ALSO HAPPENS TO BE AN INCREDIBLE PLACE TO RACE AND RIDE BIKES.
THIS IS A RECAP FILM FOR AN INTERSTATE FIXED GEAR RACE, THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN CHINA, THROUGH THE OUTSKIRTS OF BEIJING AND INTO THE MAZE OF BEIJING’S HISTORIC CENTER. NO SET COURSE, NO SUPPORT VEHICLES, NO LIMITS, AND NO REAL RULES. THE WINNER, A CHINESE OLYMPIC TRACK RACING COMPETITOR, ENDED UP WINNING BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO GET HIS BIKE ON THE FREEWAY AND SUCCESSFULLY EVADE THE POLICE WHEN THEY TRIED TO PULL HIM OVER.
