That works. Yello/gold, purple/violet, white highlights… Lakers colors, basically.

Lovely cinematography and the first thing I’ve seen from Vice in a long time. Can’t speak to its accuracy, but it’s very well done.

The narrator is Rick McCrank, a pro skater. He’s a thoughtful guy and gets right to the heart of it, recognizing the similarity and spiritual kinship of the two disciplines. A good watch and I think you will enjoy his efforts.

I don’t want to wax too poetic but I find that this film captures more of what racing is about than the FIA or NASCAR ever could. It’s like this racing is expressed in a language that big racing can’t abide and wants silenced.

But these small tracks and its people are the bedrock of American racing, the family affair that we kart racing enthusiasts recognize and cherish. I hope when the institutional narratives that endanger racing ultimately fail, that we still have this, or something like it, left for our children. Enjoy the movie.

Thank you a lot :blush:!!

Ooooohh. No … its said its not available in my country !! Any other way to watch it. ???

That’s a good question and I don’t know the answer, but someone here must.

I think there’s something called a VPN (virtual private network) that can allow you to bypass these region blocks.

Here’s a link… I don’t use a VPN so I have no idea which are good:

Yeah. Basically you use the brush to highlight the area you want altered.

There’s also generative AI where you tell it what you want to have rendered in a similar fashion.

More cats! Where did the orange ones go? :cat2:

Ai does cats pretty well. It gets challenged by racecars though.

Some kart related artwork. Young lady my son used to race in JR makes these. Really nice work that she uses to support her racing passion. First one is my kid’s first time out with KA, still had 206SR numbers on the kart.

Those are great! Those will be up on the walls forever, I bet.

+1 for the void in the second image. :smiley_cat: I like the kart in the wet artwork too.

If anyone is ever interested, she has a FB page out there and uses the funds to support her racing. Shelby Ram
Great kid that is worthy of support.
