sideshow! I need your help!
I saw this a year (2?) ago a Kendall Film fest tour showing. they seemed so deadly serious and so plausible – the ginger guy you would pull out of a police line-up of potential cave unicylists every single time. And there’s clearly a lot of skill and risk in what they’re doing.
But at the same time, there was so much Xtreem sports cliche in their talking head bits, that I couldn’t (still can’t) work out whether:
1) the whole thing was a wind-up to make a interesting film – obviously they are actually doing the cave riding but is it what they do, or something they did once to make a film?
2) whether they were playing up to the XTreeem video stereotypes (eg “A game” as above) here and there about something they do regularly to make the film more tongue in cheek/funny/interesting.
or
3) whether they were 100% deadly serious about everything they said and did.
Which is it?! Put my mind at rest!
