![]() ![]() In addition to interviews, they’ll take you places you’ve never been and always wanted to go (if you’ve been there, this’ll just bring it all back to ya). Another tape talks to Dave Mann, the guy responsible for all the wicked cover art the print magazine has become famous for. One tape has an interview with Wino Willie and this dude has got the scars to back up his stories. The main features on each tape cover a wide range of topics. Kickin’ stuff! After all this comes the really good stuff. One guy explained the theory behind all the dragons he’d welded onto his machine through the ages. Follow music by little featurettes about brothers from all over the country talkin’ ’bout their bikes how long they’ve been ridin’, how the bikes have been rebuilt or if they’re completely stock or whatever they want to talk about. You can expect each tape to have some killer music by anyone from The Doors to Lynyrd Skynyrd to some great rock by people you’ve never heard of. Save your questions ’til the end boys and girls, Professor Skids should answer them all by the time he’s done.įirst off, they all have generally the same format. Now, I’m sure you’re asking (I know I did) what kinda stuff am I gonna find on one of these tapes. One had a slow start (but hey, they didn’t know what they were doing yet, so cut ’em some slack) but by three, director Rick Schmidlin and company had the format down to a veritable art form. If you order the backlog and start with number one and watch them all the way through, you’ll see they only get better. A definite plus for your very own home Skids Library.

The fact that I'm a modern day hippy(if I get enough sticky) makes this film all the more enjoyable and also all the more infuriating. This is certainly a movie for those who have a similar view on life as that of the hippie generation. This is as anti-establishment as movies come and Dennis Hopper's direction is great. The cast is pretty good here with Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and an excellent performance from Jack Nicholson. Along the way they pick up a couple of interesting characters, spend a little time in jail, smoke marijuana, and deal with the anti-long haired hippy stereotypes of the south. for a cross country road trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and then to their retirement in Florida. Two biker hippies make a big cocaine sale and then leave L.A. ![]() It's actually the only time I've seen a movie that gets the acid trip right. The acid trip scene in this film is the best tripping scene ever filmed in my opinion. ![]() It does the best job of any film I've ever seen at summing up the hippy state of mind and the hippy experience. And couldn't find it anywhere."Įasy Rider is the quintessential hippy movie.
