Maybe July....I think they've sent the film off to ACC to see what they'd like cut out/left in etc.
The film company said they'd left a rather heated discussion I had with a bully boy car driver in....but ACC will more than likely want that cut.

How about a Directors Cut version of the dvd with all the deleted scenes in the extras??? Would probably be more useful than the PC bits the ACC will want left in.

Came across this site:

http://www.atsb.gov.au/admin/buy.aspx

If it does not link go to:

http://www.atsb.gov.au

and do search on "Ride On DVD"

Have ordered [AUD$20] for 43 minute video.

Also do search on www.google.com.au
with exact phrase "Ride On motorcycle safety video"

Will give feedback when dvd arrives.

Heads Up and Enjoy

Personally I think that rule is sensible for most/lots of our narrow roads. It has always seemed to me that the car waiting to turn left is less of a menace than the car in the middle of the road trying to turn right in the face of oncoming traffic.

Hey Crasherfromwayback,

Has the DVD you featured in been out yet with the kiwirider mag?

DOH if I missed the issue!

Nah...I spoke with Dave Harry from Propellor Productions, and they're nearly there! ACC have changed and un-changed the content several times...bu I think it's a goer soon.

Dave said they wanted some of the judges comments edited out...one of them was a cheeky comment about someones hair do. Bet it was mine!!

I let my young Asian flatmate loose the night before with my clippers....I had huge hunks of hair missing from all over my head. Looked like I had ringworm or something!

at this link: http://www.atsb.gov.au/admin/buy.aspx This is the BUY NOW page, and I can't find the description page again. I bought this, and it covers a lot of things we need to know before starting out, and even as a refresher. It's a good DVD - Mine came with a video as well as a DVD for $20.00 AUS.

It's finally out now with the Dec issue of Kiwirider. And yes...you'll see just what me curt wee Chinese flatmate did to my hair!

It's pretty lame...but if any riders get even one thing from it that helps them...then I spose it's not a bad thing!

Yep I watched it with bated breath last night. I'm not too sure that Peter Jackson will be whipping out a contract, but at least you came across abit more naturally than your accomplices.

I wasn't too sure who the target audience was supposed to be, but it was a good attempt to show some of the disciplines I guess we all should have. Well done mate, but that hair. And that jacket! And those leathers (Dave Aldana?)!

I can help with this.

I have done something similar as a private project for Eric Watsons Westbury business. (Obv not bike safty - but the technical concepts hold true).

When they released the program, it was on Business today and written up in the UK press - got huge "ups"

It would be very easy to adopt for Bike safety. Anyone got an idea who to apply to in ACC for funding?

Anyone interested in working on it - or that can help PM me. I can start making up wireframes.

Haha it's one funny DVD; and covers most of my riding routes (CBD/Hutt/Featherston) - especially liked the bit where you told that Honda Odysey off! (although you needed to swear for more effect IMO). Not sure I learned anything though, other than I'm not the only one to run wide on that darn 'takas corner!

**Crasherfromwayback** · 18th November 2007, 15:23

I was actually a bit pissed off they didn't show why I'd had words with that clown in the Honda. He fucking near ran me into another car on the other side of me just round the corner from where they showed us.

I gave him a quick blast on the horn to let him know I was there...and the queer prick gave me the bird and basically just carved me up. He thought it was all quite funny...luckily for him I couldn't remember his rego number.

That particular corner catches most people out mate...prick of a thing.
