"Bad Rock" dvd coming soon..
« on: February 14, 2012, 11:51:15 pm »

Hello guys,
I have just been contacted by Peter Starr who is a good friend but also the director/producer of "Bad Rock".

 Some of you may remember years ago when we were selling Bad Rock video's years ago. We had sold several hundred of them but Peter ran out of time to make more. The problem with the video's was that they were grainy in some spots and some of the sound was not the best. At least we did have them though..
Well I have personally been prodding Peter for many many years to come out with a remastered DVD version.Well I have finally worn him down and he has consented to make new remastered Bad Rock DVD's. There will also be some newly added interviews from what I have been told 

For those unaware the "Bad Rock" was a ISDT qualifier that started off in Weston Oregon just across the highway from Athena where the Hodaka motorcycles were designed and engineered. This event happened in 1972,73' and 74' from what I believe to be correct. The Bad Rock movie was filmed in 1973 and starred some of the absolute best off road riders in the world at that time. This included Malcolm, all of the Penton's and a cast of some of the U.S. best riders of the time.
I will be helping Peter to promote and sell these so that they will become available again. He needs to sell a minimum of 150 DVD's at a cost of $ 19.95 each. I believe we will sell more for him but the 150 quantity is the target.We will not be taking any money at this time but rather making a "want list". when the time comes to pull the trigger on this project we will be asking for payment to secure your DVD.
If interested please email me directly at [email protected] and I will add your name on the list. Sorry at this time there will not be any quantity discounts.I am not making a dime on this project but just trying to gather enough support to get this film out of the vault and turned into a DVD for distribution. I am afraid if we cannot get this done then in may never become available again.

Here is a little teaser I found for you to get an idea what the film may be about. Some of the footage is of guys climbing Ryan Grade. It is a lot steeper than it looks in the video. Just ask Ken Smith who has seen this great area first hand.

I was sent an old copy of a copy of this a few years ago. Absolutely brilliant.
It's a bargain for $20 and I will definately snap up a couple of copies.
mail sent!

Welcome Paul,
Being from a predominantly pre75 club that was top shelf + and easy to relate too.  8)
Some footage of our club events have also been recorded with U2, so was especially good.

It would be kind of ironic (if thats the right word) as us Aussies have imported alot of overseas bikes while the $$ have been exceptional in the last few years and too see bikes like SWM,Rokons, DT Yammies and Ossa's in your video,makes you kind of wonder if these same bikes have found there way onto our shores or New Zealand's.  :P  8)
cheers West Aust
Best is in the West !!
