Wow what an inspiring film about cycling.

Just came across this film and enjoyed it so much I thought I would share it here.

If you don't mind, before I click on the link can you add a little about it - title, subject matter, etc...

I'll click on anything!

Title: R J Ripper

Quote:

Kids and bikes; wherever you are in the world, they go together. The chaotic streets of Kathmandu may not seem like a typical breeding ground for world-class mountain bikers, but then again nothing is typical about Rajesh (RJ) Magar. Since learning to ride on a beat-up clunker, to becoming the four-time National Champion at age 21, RJ’s story is one of boundless childhood dreaming and unstoppable determination, forged from junkyard scraps and tested on the rugged trails of the mighty Himalaya.

Haven't watched it though.

Well I could have but I was in a hurry and the title won't tell you a lot. Vimeo should identify it as quality if nothing else. However its about a Nepalese kid who built his own downhill bike out of scrap and goes on to be national champion. A  very nice documentary and nothing to do with me.
