Some Seattle dudes who took on the Canadians at the "Numb Bun" race. See this on Utube. The Ruskies and the Finns race roundy round on Esos, Jawas ect. The production values on the French shoot were great. I understand that not a single frog or snail lost its life during the shoot.
Well as a year-round rider who has had to deal with occasional snow&ice I'd love a set, would've saved me many painfully slow white knuckle rides.
