I think before you interview someone at least do a little background on the guy..."Do a quick rap for us?" what kind of question was that? "250F huh, when ya gonna move up to the big boy bikes?" I'd like to see the guy with the mike try to keep up with that little boys 250. My wife could have done a better job....Makes you wonder what Scratch & Sniff Production is scratching & sniffing?????
That is Charkie's sense of humor. He is just picking on Glen for running a 250 in a field of 450's. He is a pro rider and probably knows more about Glen than most people on here.
Good to know, I was thinking about following the GNCC around & doing an internet news/interview business. So give men a quick rap, Men at Work, it's all making sense now.
Their website can be pretty funny. I "made" goon of the month back in March. It was a photo of me getting the holeshot at the Florida GNCC. I had my enduro headlight and was wearing ratty old torn gear. Of course, being the first GNCC, everyone else had pretty bikes and clean gear. It was a funny photo - but I got the holeshot! http://www.offroadjunkies.com/ They did this nice video from the race I put on back in January. Good stuff. http://www.offroadjunkies.com/2010/01/05/battle-of-atlanta-8-hour-team-race/
Thanks for the links ARod. You guys would have seriously hated the unedited version of the GK interview.
Since it took about 2 minutes of mouse clicking, here is a direct link (assuming they don't move the url) http://www.offroadjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_4696.jpg
I finally watched the video! Don't know which one of you did the interview but personally I thought it was hilarious But as you can tell, humor is though to convey sometimes.
Rob (redslush) did all the work editing. As for my involvement... I'll just say that I made a couple of cameo appearances behind Glenn and Charkie.
Hey Dean. Neither of us did the interview, other than film (me) and make cameo appearances (Bolt-On in the unedited interview). Charkie is the pretty one so we put him in front of the camera most of the time. We try to keep things light and change it up from normal interviews.
I think you guys should use the van as a backdrop for your interviews. It would help to convey the retarded-ness you're trying to achieve.
Mark Fortner's van? That's the ultimate backdrop! Better yet... Interview IN the van. While documenting the whole luring the interviewee into the van with promises of 'free candy'
I hate to take this further off topic, but I have been wondering about the blacked out bike comment to Fortner. Was that his bike painted black or Charkie's. I think I understood the no sponsorship part.
The blacked out bike was Mark Fortner's husky. I'm not sure if it really was a sponsorship issue or not. I thought he just wanted to do it, to do it. Looked pretty sweet until the first lap at Snowshoe when the paint was rubbing off.
