BIKECAR
East Coast Premiere
USA 2006 | DV | 65 min.
Dir. J.T. Fountain
Travis Parker, Louie Fountain, and Scotty Wittlake approached travel differently this past winter. Putting snowmobiles and 4×4’s to shame, the crew traveled across the great Northwest in a bikecar: a four person pedal powered vehicle that was the vessel of the adventure…part bike, part car. Pulling a trailer with snowboards and gear, the crew pedaled in search of snow for one month. Bikecar is a one of a kind documentary, which brings a new perspective to travel, adventure, and snowboarding.
