We Heart Stuff, posted a feature on this short film directed by Nicolas Randall and Joe Stevens which played at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. The film which may be set to become a feature length documentary looks at a group of Trinidadian kids in New York, who are combining the sound-system / bass culture of their homeland with bicycles.
Last summer in a cramped, rented garage on the outskirts of Queens, NY something incredible was happening. Nicholas Ragbir, an imaginative tinkerer from Trinidad was working late into the nights creating something nobody had ever seen: enormously powerful stereo PA systems jerry rigged onto ordinary bmx bikes. It wasn’t long before Nick assembled a small crew of like-minded riders. Traveling together, each behind the handlebars of his or her own massive homemade creation, they treat the neighborhood to an outrageous impromptu music and dance party on wheels.
