Director: Ben McQueen
Editor: Jason Georgiades
Key Cast: Max Schaaf, Ramona Downey, Tommy Guerrer
FILM MAKERS
Let It Kill You is a docuseries by skateboarder and tattoo artist Ben McQueen. The series originated as a book that was released Ben McQueen under the same name, that explored the intersection between skateboarding and tattooing. The book featured interviews from an all-star line-up that included the likes of Jamie Thomas, Tyler Bledsoe, Eric Dressen, and Andrew Allen, among many more. After releasing the book Ben decided to open the scope of the project, turning to watchable thirty-minute episodes that go beyond tattooing and into the intersection between skateboarding and art. Each episode is a deep dive into the careers and contributions to skateboarding of an individual artist and features some of skateboarding’s best artists and creatives.
SUMMARY
Max Schaaf has been a household name in professional skateboarding for over 30 years. He honed his craft of vert skating in isolation on a vert ramp inside a warehouse rented by his mother, Ramona, in Oakland, CA. Max quickly became a formidable force in the skateboarding world and played a crucial role in the inception of Real Skateboards, a powerhouse company founded by Tommy Guerrero of the Bones Brigade and Jim Thiebaud.
With a remarkable career spanning over 20 years, Max eventually developed a deep interest in chopper motorcycles. Applying the same intensity to motorcycle building, he soon made a name for himself in the chopper scene, crafting one impressive bike after another.
Max is a true talent who would likely excel in any field he chose, but he has dedicated himself to being both a lifelong skateboarder and motorcycle builder. Join us in this episode as we explore his journey from skateboarding to the inception of 4Q Conditioning in Oakland, where he’s covered in grease and dog hair, working at his own pace to create beautiful, world-renowned choppers.

SLOWLY GOING FASTER (2025)
Run Time: 24:25
Producer: Abreojos Films
Director: David Martinez
Editor: Lauren O'Malley, Anais Bernard
Graphics: Shelly Martinez
Key Cast: Alp Sungurtekin, Jalika Gaskin, Randy Johnson
FILM MAKERS
I started photographing at an early age as a way to explore the world — chasing light, people, and places that sparked my curiosity. That instinct for storytelling has guided me ever since, evolving from still photography into a growing focus on filmmaking.
I’m based in Los Angeles and split my time between California and Mexico, drawing inspiration from both cultures and landscapes. As an avid surfer, the rhythm of the ocean shapes how I see and move through the world — from the quality of light on the water to the way time slows down in certain moments. That sensibility flows naturally into my visual work.
What began as a solitary pursuit has become a deeply collaborative process, and I value the way many voices, experiences, and places come together to create a single frame or sequence. I’m drawn to minimalism — not as an aesthetic, but as a way of thinking. For me, every choice matters: the way I light a scene, compose an image, or shape a narrative. It’s about removing what isn’t essential to reveal what truly is.
Whether working on a photograph or a film, my goal is the same: to create work that feels honest, intentional, and alive.
*David Martinez has several films in The Vintagent Film Archive, including , Vincent Black Lightning (2022), Baja Scrambler (2020), and Summer Ride (2017).
SUMMARY
A meditation on speed, time, and devotion. This 24-minute documentary follows master builder Alp Sungurtekin as he returns to the salt flats of Bonneville, chasing records on machines of his own making. It's a portrait of craft, patience, and the quiet pursuit of something just out of reach. This film was a 2025 selection for the Toronto Motorcycle Film Festival.

FILM MAKERS
'Blackwater: 50 Years of GNCC Racing' feature film documentary coming soon from filmmaker Todd Huffman.
MXSports and the Coombs family tapped motorcycle documentary filmmaker, Todd Huffman and his Pipeline Digital Media (PDM), whose past work includes the award-winning feature film PENTON: The John Penton Story and acclaimed The Motocross Files TV series. He has brought on Kevin Ward as Director of Photography whose past work includes Dust to Glory and Dust 2 Glory. PDM will be shooting with their crew throughout the 2025 GNCC season with the film being released in theaters and then streaming in 2026.
SUMMARY
The story that’s been 50 years in the making and the off-road motocross community has been waiting for; BLACKWATER: 50 Years of GNCC Racing.
After seeing On Any Sunday film back in 1971, school-teacher and musician, Dave “Big Dave” Coombs convinced his family in Morgantown, WV to start promoting Off-Road racing events like Dave had seen in the film with the Elsinore Grand Prix that Malcolm Smith and Steve McQueen rode in and were featured in. One of those events was a 100-mile event in Davis, WV called the “Blackwater 100”, which was dubbed “America’s Toughest Race”. The birth (and infamy) of the Blackwater 100 would lead to the creation of a national series that is now known as the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) series and now in 2025 GNCC Racing will celebrate its 50th anniversary season.
The film will follow the 2025 GNCC Racing season with both bikes and ATV storylines while reaching back into the memory banks of dozens of champions, journalists, mechanics, organizers and fans who will be interviewed for the film about major moments in GNCC’s 50 year history beginning with the Blackwater 100.
Past and current GNCC and Blackwater champions have been interviewed about racing the Blackwater 100 all the way up to the current 2024 season and outlooks for 2025. The stories are inspiring, funny, sad and dramatic, mixing perfectly with the new racing action coming in 2025.

It was a great time to be around a true legend of motorcycling, a patriot and man who helped create an entire industry.

Fast forward 11 years and we are working on a new film "Blackwater: 50 Years of GNCC Racing" and we were again, blessed with getting to spend some time with John in December of last year at KTM USA's Amherst , OH location.
He was 99. Today (August 19th, 2025) John Penton will reach a milestone that we all hope to even get close to...100 years old. In honor of John's birthday I grabbed a few clips from John's interview with us to share with the world. Just John being John Penton. Enjoy and make sure we all wish Mr. Penton a happy 100th birthday." - Todd Huffman

FIFTY YEARS OF KICKS (2012)
Run Time: 19:09
A Film By: Dallas Shannon, Anthony Kerr
Key Cast: Paul Rodden, Larry Murray
FILM MAKERS
It’s the story of Paul Rodden and Larry Murray, two off-road riders that are usually significantly faster than those who are 40 years younger on much more expensive machinery. The film offers an interesting and candid look into the friendship between the two men, with plenty of stories from their years in the saddle and some excellent camera work. - Silodrome
SUMMARY
“People do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes
50 Years Of Kicks is a documentary about off-road riders Paul Rodden and Larry Murray, both of whom were successful racers at various stages of their riding careers. Rodden is a mechanical engineer who has worked at NASA and has won three enduro titles in the over-50 class, while Murray is a former Canadian enduro champion from the mid-1970s. At the time of this 2012 film, Murray was in his early 60s and Rodden is 10 years older, so seeing these grizzled riders still tearing up the trails and wheelying across streams is nothing less than inspirational for moto enthusiasts of any age, especially those who are middle-aged and wondering how many more years of riding is in front of them. - Motorcycle.com

HIS MOTORBIKE, HER ISLAND (1986)
Run Time: 1:30:00
Producer: Kadokawa Haruki Jimusho
Director: Nobuhiko Ôbayashi
Writer: Yoshio KataokaI, kuo Sekimoto
Key Cast: Kiwako Harada, Noriko Watanabe, Riki Takeuchi
FILM MAKERS
His Motorbike, Her Island (彼のオートバイ、彼女の島, Kare no ōtobai, kanojo no shima) is a 1986 Japanese romance film directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, based on a 1977 novel by Yoshio Kataoka. Produced by Kadokawa Haruki Jimusho, the film stars Kiwako Harada, Riki Takeuchi, Noriko Watanabe and Tomokazu Miura. Takeuchi, in his acting debut, plays a motorbike enthusiast who falls in love with a young woman (Harada) after teaching her how to ride. The film frequently switches between black-and-white and color photography.
His Motorbike, Her Island won three awards at the 8th Yokohama Film Festival, including Best Supporting Actress for Watanabe and 3rd Best Film.
SUMMARY
After a failed romance, a temperamental young biker meets a carefree rural girl while riding through her island hometown and gets her obsessed about riding a motorcycle.
James Balmont of Another Magazine cited His Motorbike, Her Island as an example of a film with a relatively sympathetic view towards bōsōzoku, a Japanese youth subculture associated with motorcycles. Balmont describes Koh's Kawasaki motorbike as "more of a symbol for freedom than anarchy", and writes: "From the opening shots, in which the camera fetishises the bike chassis in close-up as the engine gently purrs and rumbles, the bike is a beloved object that brings Koh in touch with the resplendent natural surroundings of Japan's countryside as well as stoking a blossoming romance."

We at Colorblind had been looking for a real story to tell for some time. A story which real people can relate to, that can touch hearts, that can create goosebumps in a way that it did to us. We are just like you so here is a story for you.
For another film in our archive featuring Bobbee, Old Delhi Motorcycles, and Royal Enfield, watch Chasing The Bullet (2016) by Chris Zahner.
SUMMARY
Finding this story took us to many places, people, ideas and then it struck us that careers are not confined to cubicles, certificates, degrees, universities, interviews or job placements. Far away from the world of doctors, engineer, management gurus there lies a world of engine oil, brakes, gears. Not a shiny automobile showrooms but a dirty, clumsy mechanic's shop in a chaotic old Delhi's narrow gali. Colorblind wants to extend a special thank to Bobbee Singh (aka Bullet Raja), who introduced us to this world. So here we present a tribute to these maestros whose oil coated, blackened hands carved the Bullet Beauty for many of us Bullet Lovers.

THE BROWN BUNNY (2003)
Run Time: 1:33:00
A Film By: Vincent Gallo
Key Cast: Vincent Gallo, Chloë Sevigny, Cheryl Tiegs
FILM MAKERS
The Brown Bunny is a 2003 independent erotic romantic road drama film written, directed, produced, photographed, and edited by Vincent Gallo. Starring Gallo and Chloë Sevigny, it tells the story of a motorcycle racer on a cross-country drive who is haunted by memories of his former lover. It was photographed with handheld 16 mm cameras in various locations throughout the United States, including New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Ohio, Missouri, Utah, Nevada, and California.
Following a world premiere at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, the film garnered a great deal of media attention because of an explicit scene where Sevigny performs un-simulated fellatio on Gallo.
Roger Ebert called the film "the worst in the history of Cannes." He posted on his website "The audience was loud and scornful in its dislike for the movie; hundreds walked out, and many of those who remained only stayed because they wanted to boo." Vincent Gallo responded that Ebert was a "fat pig with the physique of a slave trader." Ebert paraphrased a remark of Sir Winston Churchill and responded that "Although I am fat, one day I will be thin, but Mr. Gallo will still have been the director of 'The Brown Bunny.'" Gallo then put a hex on Ebert's colon, to which Ebert responded that "even my colonoscopy was more entertaining than his film."
It should be noted that the version screened at Cannes was much longer than the final version. Ebert later gave a re-edited version his signature "thumbs up", awarding the film three out of four stars.
SUMMARY
Professional motorcycle racer Bud Clay heads from New Hampshire to California to race again. Along the way he meets various needy women who provide him with the cure to his own loneliness, but only a certain woman from his past will truly satisfy him.
After racing in New Hampshire, the lonely motorcycle racer Bud Clay drives his van in a five-day journey to California for the next race. Along his trip, he meets fans, a lonely women, and prostitutes, but he leaves them since he is actually pining for the woman he loves, Daisy. He goes to her house and leaves a note telling where he is lodged. Out of the blue, Daisy appears in his hotel room and he soon learns the reason why he couldn't find her.

The story of Lilly Farrow is garnished with the speed power and thrills that motorcycling exhibits, but it is Lilly’s heart, guts and perseverance that wins. Visit the website to sign up for updates not he film. Link below.
SUMMARY
Iron Lilly is an epic, heart-stirring journey into the life of Lilly Farrow, a fearless pioneer who shattered expectations and carved her name into history. Set in early 20th century America, this film brings to life the extraordinary true story of a woman who, alongside her husband Dale, founded A D Farrow Co Harley Davidson in 1912, now the world’s longest running Harley Davidson dealership. But Lilly’s greatest challenge would come after an unthinkable tragedy left her alone to raise three children and steer a growing business through the turmoil of two World Wars, the Spanish Flu epidemic, the Great Depression, and the relentless barriers of a male dominated industry. Fueled by unbreakable determination, she not only kept her family and company alive, she thrived, defying the odds to organize the first official riding club and orchestrate some of the earliest motorcycle races. With breathtaking cinematography and a story that pulses with love, loss, and perseverance, Iron Lilly is more than a film about motorcycles, it is a tribute to resilience, leadership, and the power of an unstoppable spirit.

Reviewer Don Hunt Sadly passed away a few years ago. He was a very knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiast and had a large collection of machines from vintage, classic and modern. Although he was fascinated by the evolution and engineering development of motorcycles, his real passion was riding. All his bikes would be regularly ridden through the lanes of Hertfordshire where he lived in England. In his youth, he and his wife would travel vast distances exploring Europe on a motorcycle. Many of his adventures ‘2 up’ were made on his Laverda Jota. His eclectic and diverse motorcycle collection included British, American, Italian and Japanese machines – namely James, Indian, Sunbeam, Velocette, BSA, Ducati, Laverda, Honda. However, his deep passion was for Scotts. Not only did he love to ride his ‘Flying Squirrel” Sprint Special but he would always enthuse about Alfred Scotts revolutionary bikes, which for their time had a water cooled 2 stroke engines and even a kick start. He was recognized by the VMCC (Vintage Motor Cycle Club) as one of the most knowledgable Scott specialists. - Shaun Fenton for Ride CT. Read more about Don Hunt HERE.
SUMMARY
Don climbs aboard a beautifully restored 1915 Indian V-Twin 1000cc American motorcycle. One of the most successful motorcycles ever made and has a sporting pedigree. It was produced in large numbers, selling 35,000 in 1913. Some of its features include: electric lights, tool box, town & country exhaust, effective suspension and an idiosyncrasy, a left-hand throttle. Some say the left-hand throttle was to enable the rider to draw his gun with his right hand and continue controlling the bike with his left. A truly magnificent machine.

FILM MAKERS
Malle London started as a harebrained scheme in a late night bar back in 2013 to make elegant yet functional motorcycle bags. They did that in spades, and along the way they also began organizing some of the best rallies around. The Beach Race, The Great Malle Rally, The Mountain Rally just to name just a few. Now, in August of 2025 they will set off on the Great Malle Arctic Rally, the longest motorcycle rally ever attempted across Scandinavia to the northern tip of the mainland Arctic. See link below to get in on the fun!
SUMMARY
In the words of Bob Dylan “There’s no success like failure, and failure’s no success at all”. Introducing The Vincent ‘Black Flash’. Six weeks before The Great Malle Rally, we got word of a 1950 Vincent 500 barn find, that was last running in 1974. We dragged her home and the dream was set, to build a lightweight Malle Rally Vincent. Our aim was to complete The Great Malle Rally, the longest motorcycle rally in Great Britain on the oldest motorcycle to ever attempt it, on a custom Vincent, inspired by the infamous Vincent ‘Black Lightning’ and the Vincent ‘Grey Flash’... ...After the Vincent suffered a catastrophic fuel leak on the final stage of the Rally, with petrol pouring over a hot engine, it was thrown into the bracken and put out with loch water. The Rally Marshalls played ‘pass the parcel’ with the rider to get him to the finish line on the backs of their motorcycles, 212 miles from Rally checkpoint to checkpoint. To pass the time, he wrote ’An Ode To The Black Flash’. Read out on the Rally finish line at the Castle of Mey, at the very Northern tip of Scotland. Custom Vincent by The Malle London team.
