Macaframa, a movie about the culture around urban fixed-gear/track bike riding, will premiere in Portland on Sunday.
Prior to the event, organizers will host an alleycat race that begins in Southeast Portland at Colonel Summers Park (20th and Belmont) and ends with the screening at Backspace (115 NW 5th).
I have to admit, I don’t know much about Macaframa, but a few friends say the film is very well-made and the riding is amazing.
If it’s anything like the fixed-gear stunt riding I saw on the Esplanade back in March, it’s definitely worth watching.
Here’s what one of my Twitter followers, track_stand, says about it:
“Macaframa dudes are awesome. Their premieres have been packed. Look out for some amazing track bike cinematography.”
