Rad Rides by Troy DVD of the Blowfish

[pico110]

I thought this might be a good place to let people know about our new dvd.

This dvd is produced the way I thought it should look; from a car guy's perspective, not a T.V. producers. I produced a nine minute promotional DVD to show this idea to television networks, and I want to share it with everyone. It shows some of the most talented people in the automotive aftermarket, and their first attempt at a race car. This was all done on my dime with the help of a good team. Any profit will help to produce further endeavors of high level automoitve programing. Thank you, J.Z.

This DVD was all filmed and produced professionally on High Definition "movie cameras" not a camcorder. It follows the RAD RIDES team as they build the "Blowfish." A sixty nine barracuda that won HOT ROD magazines "car of the year" honors. See actual dyno footage and watch the car tear up the salt at over 255 mph and shatter a record that stood untouched for sixteen years! This is a entertaining look at a very capable team, not throwing wrenches and insults. You can get it two places

Hey Jared, I didn't realize that you had joined us here online. That's great, glad to have you. :thumbsup:

and the Nova build is awesome:thumbsup:

[pico110]

Well, its technically not Jared. Im his roomate and, I handle alot of computer type things for him. Though Jared is an avad reader of this forum. Thanks for checking out our DVD post.

[XcYZ]

Oops, lol. I saw that the first post was signed J.Z. and assumed it was Jared.

[4cefed]

is that a typo or is it really only nine minutes long?

[pico110]

Its a 9 minuite promotional DVD. We are seeing how it will sell to find out if there is a demand for a well edited hour long version. Thats why its only $10. We had the dvd copies pressed not burned and professionally packaged. If anyone does buy one, give us some feedback. We are very interested in what you guys have to say. Thanks.

I bought one. Will let you know once I watch it. :yes:

Just ordered mine too, along with a t-shirt :thumbsup:

Well i can tell you one thing, i dont need a 9 minute dvd to persuade me to buy a full length version. 9 minutes of rad rides is teasing! There is nothing i would rather watch then that crew building a car, no bs. I want a full length.

How about a full length build of that nova, thats something i would lay down some hard cash for.

[pico110]

That is our intention. The process is so expensive to do right that the nine minute version is all we have right now. We were persueded to sell it because it is so good, even at only nine minutes (and we cant very well just give them away.) The better the short DVD sells the more flexibility we'll have to crank out an hour plus.

[4cefed]

I totally understand, im just antsy for them to put out something of a longer duration. Ive been hearing that the dvd is awesome so i think im gonna pick it up anyway. Thanks

[pico110]

Thanks. for ten bucks, its worth watching that car do it's thing. And hopefully we can generate some income and start cranking out an hour. We have 15 hours of high def. salt footage that needs a home.

[dave96dcm]

I'd buy a 15 hour DVD box set :thumbsup:

[J2SpeedandCustom]

Ok just watched the dvd. Great job guys that was very enjoyable, flowed very well and I can't wait to see the full length version. A suggestion is to make it like 2 or 3 hrs long. :yes: Just don't make it too long I want to see MORE NOW!!!!!!!!

[DRJDVM's '69]

I would buy a longer video for sure...

My favorite Rides episodes are the Sick Fish Cuda and The Fast Forward Fastback...... I have them locked on my DVR, so I can watch them anytime and I watch the episodes whenever them come on the Discovery HD channel...

Favorite book...... Sick Fish Build Book.....:)

Maybe do a way to just download it for $5.... I would do that....but $10 for a 9 minute video......probably not going to order it...

[rwhite692]

IMO, Charging folks > a buck a minute for a whole 9 minutes of video just to get some feedback is a little steep. Why not post a free download, even if it's not in HD, people will be able to tell if the production is good. Plus, you will get a ton more feedback....

[notorious1970]

I picked up the dvd and its pretty sweet. Hearing that turbo spool in the blowfish is awesome. Way worth the price of admission.

[dave96dcm]

Just got it today, I never thought that I would say that a ten minute DVD was worth ten bux but it was, you can add my name to the preorder or a full length :D

[Blake Foster]

What a concept........ a DVD about a car!!!! not the jack a$$ who wants to be on TV...
Keep them comming

Me too. Jared is really funny. I have had the pleasure to get to know him. He did a phenominal job on the video. Can't wait for the full video.

[dave96dcm]

Is there a update to see if they are making a full length?

[pico110]

You guys will definitally know when we get the full length version done. Right now were getting funds to do an hour edit.

[pico110]

The hour long DVD is here!!!

It is the first run of the Blowfish at the salt and the build. RadRides has it for sale and we have alot of manufactures selling it on their sites. I thing we are also going to put a few on ebay also.

This is the funniest car dvd Ive seen. Also the 9min. version is on Youtube. check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K8OkjUeXps

I saw the full version last week and its awesome. Its good because it was done like the Rides episodes that they had a few years back. Shows some of the antics that goes on in the shop as well as the story and build up of the blowfish. Picking up mine on weds. :thumbsup: Oh and its filmed in HD :thumbsup:

I bought one when they first came out. I can't tell you how many times I've watched it. I'm hoping the Cuda will be in the next "Build Book".
