It took a long time before WHAT THE DEAF MAN HEARD was finally released on DVD. Whew... another good one from him. This looks to be good instead of the gosh-awful 'make him a villain' attempts (er, Transporter 2 or 3 - whatever it was).
A LBS owner in Greenfield Ma, comically renowned as Bicycle Bob, and I used to laugh every day at how fortunate we were to have discovered the joy of swinging our leg over a toptube. Doing so turned us into the happy 8 year-olds we remembered before all the grownup responsibilities, burdens, frustrations and complications of adulthood. For almost 30 years we smiled, laughed and "weeeeeee'd" (on the descents, at least) our way through life. I miss him very much (cancer!).
A lot of people think cycling is just a physical thing but it is not, it is a very mental thing as well. If you are mentally strong then you can take everything cycling throws at you, one peddle at a time :)
I worked for this program in another state for a couple years. I'd probably still be there if I didn't have a family of my own to take care of now. They do great work and the kids usually have a pretty good time as long as they stay out of trouble.
I really love the film Hard Miles because it is very inspiring, touching, and has a funny twist to it. All in all, this film is great for family movie night. The film’s message is ‘never stop something until you finish it.’”
The fact that there's actually space to ride a bicycle across 3 States in the car centric US without getting hit by a truck should be a movie in and of itself
@@killerb5726 Wow. You're the problem without even realizing it. Hint: you can have an environment like the US with wide open spaces and still own a car, but not be car-centric.
Forget highschool football programs... This country would be far better off is high schools had mandatory cycling programs. Riding a bike is truly one of the great life experiences a human can have. It's also something every single student can do, unlike football, where only +/-30 kids get to actually be on the team. And people can cycle their whole life, unlike football, where (at best) you'll be in a bar 'remembering the good ol days' 30 years later.
I know a former principal of a school, after finding out a large percentage of kids didn't know how to ride a bike, got a grant and got donated bikes (from a good company), it was part of PE. But hard to scale with school budgets.
@@bikebudha01 Not denying the cost of football (not to mention, cost to young people's brains). But the field would have been put in place when government funded public schools better, whereas the bike project was new, in an area controlled by teacher-hating, education-disdaining republicans.
I did that with a youth program in 1988. The miles on the road weren't as meaningfull as the nightly therapy groups. The who completed the entire journey without sag support joined me on a one day hike to the bottom of the canyon and back up to the top. I wonder where those kids are today...
Birdy (1984) Matthew Modine & Nick Cage. THAT was my first Modine performance & I've been booked ever since. Watch that movie & you'll see why he's been doing it for 5 decades. Fun fact, another performance as a baddie is Gordon Rickett on L&O:SVU S:6 E:17 "Rage"... First time I saw him as a bad guy. Hated it bc he'd always been so sweet & loved it bc he was so good at being a Sociopath/Psychopath. Another outstanding performance is Pvt Joker in Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Looks good. Like they said in the Netflix Tour De France documentary: Cycling is about suffering, if you're not suffering, find another sport" ( they actually said job) in the documentary. These kids look like they will suffer.
Good movie. I would have liked to see this as a mini-series instead with like 21 50-minute episodes. That would have allowed much more character depth and such. Here's one other concern though : if Modine's character truly had a nerve disorder that caused extreme pain when stretching, AND his Dad knew of this, AND his Dad still made him stretch then IMHO this was not a Dad worth visiting upon his death bed. Not only that but his Dad never apologizes when he shows up. I FULLY disagree that going to his death bed would be of any value unless he knew his Dad had a full change of heart regarding abuse. Forgiveness is also about a change of heart by the party being forgiven but that was not emphasized here. That aside, the journey and all they went through was inspiring. It just needed much more development than 2 hours could lend. Modine is a very good actor. Still adore him in Gross Anatomy.
The boys on bicycles, conquering the outdoors - the Motivator/Coach has a "high tolerance" for pain☺ So, will they, or won't they "fall apart" - based on a true story - so, guessing 'not' but...
I did see both. "Hard Miles" is a movie about civilizing monsters./// "Sasquatch Sunrise" is about Monsters not needing civilizing sliding down the Darwinian curve to extinction.
Seems like a great story in real life, but the movie hits every cliche trope possible. Good message, but hard to have a single original aspect to a human interest story for anyone who has much life experience or has seen similar such movies of a group of misfits coming together as they face a challenge.
Longtime fan of Matthew modine since Vision Quest in 1985.this looks very interesting
Love that movie.

Agreed! For me, Vision Quest is one of the best: 1. 80's movies, 2. sports movies, 3. coming-of-age movies ever made!
Birdy here, '84. Not sure which I saw first, though.
I was just thinking about that movie...man, he's had a long career!

Truth!
*pedal 🚲😊
Exactly!
Finally, Matthew Modine playing a coach in a sports movie! This looks modest, independent, sincere, and great.
Great comment.
It should be him coaching his old wrestling team from vision quest..
@@jdog0341 You said it. Exactly what I was thinking.
Finally, a movie about Cycling. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The 1985 movie American Flyers with Kevin Costner is a Cycling movie and it's great!
Also, the 1979 movie Breaking Away with Dennis Quaid is about cycling and it won an Oscar. Another great film.
Not since Kevin Bacon in Quicksilver has there been as fine a film.
True but urban cycling is a hell of a lot different than road cycling.@@kamuelalee
@@JohnSmith-gq9gn "Shake & Bake" and bearded Ruskies.... Breaking Away was my racing inspiration though
Oh hell yeah, a bicycling movie!
my dad is a huge cyclist..he's 79 and does 30-40 mile rides on Sundays. man's a beast.
That is awesome. 59 and doing 30-40 a week. I hope I can keep that up when I am 79.
@@jpr5416 he makes me feel like a sack...lmao.
@@jpr5416 good for you. just stay at it. consistency is key. Also stretching/flexibility is big...he wishes he had focused on that more.

Love to hear it. Thanks for your service
From Vision Quest to Hard Miles. . . Matthew is the athletic actor.
💙Top! Thank you!
For all you cyclists who are too young to remember the movie American Flyer, watch that to get you ready for this one.
Memphis Belle reunion - Modine and Astin
From Memphis Belle to bicycles. But it kinda makes sense. Remember The Wright Brothers in North Carolina?
"there a hole in the rear tire as big as my dick" or something like that.
I really love the film Hard Miles because it is very inspiring, touching, and has a funny twist to it. All in all, this film is great for family movie night. The film’s message is ‘never stop something until you finish it.’”

I guess you’ve never been here. Car centric because we have so much open space.
TF are you talking about.
Stay away from the coasts and there's tons of room.
@@killerb5726 Wow. You're the problem without even realizing it. Hint: you can have an environment like the US with wide open spaces and still own a car, but not be car-centric.
@@BlownMacTruckI’m the problem with what?
Easily Modine's best sports movie since VISION QUEST.
His only sports movie since Vision Quest?

Cycling is my meditation. Get out on my bike, be it my road or mountain bike, and focus only on that.

Football is American 🇺🇸
Matthew Modine and John Krasinski should make a movie together as either Father/Son or Older/Younger version of each other
No.
@@stevemurrell6167 Dang it!
That would be awesome!!
The film has "Wind" vibes. That's good.
Love seeing Leslie Baker in a sizable role.
“Rudy” is now in a cycling movie!! Sean Astin and Matthew Modine this Gen Xer is excited for this true story!!
"Rudy" is also a 2-time ironman!
Need more bike movies. Watched Premium Rush (starring Joseph Gordon Levitt) last year, it was great.
I only comment if it made me feel good true or not story. It’s about inspiration and living life. Thumbs up for Corniness I love it!
Mathew Modine is perfect for a role like this. I'll check this one out.
This looks outstanding. I look forward to seeing it.
Need more movies like this
About time we had an inspiring movie...
This looks good.
Great to see Modine!!!
Looks great. Can't wait to see it.
I expected to hear Only the Young to start playing. Haha...
Yes! 🤣
Little Lunatic Fringe
YES! I’ll probably watch the movie before the RUclips recap. I do miss me some Modine
Finally, a movie showing people falling over the first time they clip in.
I learned on actual toe clips with straps. Modern pedals are easy.
Matthew is a true actor. 😊❤
This looks good and I don’t road cycle, but I love inspiring movies.
I’ll be watching. 😁
The glorious group clipstack at 0:59 made me lol 😂 We've all been there! And usually all your hurt is your pride 😁
Feeling the bike seat pain. My current bike is full suspension with big butt gel seat with it's own suspension.
Ditto!! Nothing like hitting a bump and landing on your "sweet" to make you take immediate action - worth every penny!
I did that with a youth program in 1988. The miles on the road weren't as meaningfull as the nightly therapy groups. The who completed the entire journey without sag support joined me on a one day hike to the bottom of the canyon and back up to the top. I wonder where those kids are today...
"Breaking Away" on a different level
Love seeing rascal and Dennis back in a film together
Looking forward to seeing this.
Stanley!
Modine getting yelled at by the one kid was giving me flashbacks to the Bad video - "You ain't bad, you ain't nothin'. You ain't NOTHIN'!"
Here to mention Ben Foster as Lance Armstrong in my favorite adaptation of a book. "The Program" (2015)
Looks great!!
My first Modine performance was Dr. Brenner in Stranger Things. He's so good at playing a psychopath I can't seem as a different character.
Bike rider, psychopath same thing 🤣 And yes, I'm a bike rider, not hating on them.
I co-wrote this movie and this made me LOL@@adoj105

I didn't know Stanley had a life outside of Dunder Mifflin
Coach Carter on bikes.
Finally, the Private Joker/Stanley spinoff we’ve been waiting for
true storys always seem good
You know it’s real when the chamois cream goes on!
Looks good. Like they said in the Netflix Tour De France documentary: Cycling is about suffering, if you're not suffering, find another sport" ( they actually said job) in the documentary. These kids look like they will suffer.
Can’t wait! When is it out?

Looks as good as American Flyers
"Rudy" meets "Vision Quest" meets "Break Away"... Modine & Astin have arrived at "that stage" of their career...
Butt Butter = Congratulations, a new MEME has been born 😃
Producer: Great movie so far, what are you going to call it?
Director: The BIKERIDERS!
Producer: No, that's been taken. Second choice?
Director: Ummmm
I really like it!
Vision quest
Great movie
good trailer..decent library

looking forward to this movie, please don't be a suckie bicycling move!!
"You don't know me! We can't do this!"
"You do know me. We did it!"
There you go.
Good to see Louden Swain again.
He got that high tolerance for pain in Hue City, Vietnam
Wasn't Matthew Modine in a mid 80's movie about cycling called Quicksilver?
Matthew was channeling his inner R. Lee Ermey there for a second.
I give it a solid MAYBE
Modine all up in da hizouze!😆
Beacon 23 starts on April 7, 2024 on MGM+.
My only hope (as a cyclist) is that this will humanize cyclists a bit and get Americans to stop being so hostile on the roads.
Looks like a cure for insomnia.
So when do they wrestle. Jk. Looks great 👍👍
Based on a true story, meaning it’s 99% fiction. The true part, some kids rode bikes once.
Who’s here for Stanley ?!
Modern American Flyers-ish
Shute is at the top of the mountain
Plot Twist: Miles is the name of Modine's character.
Cuál será el nombre para chile?
I’ve seen this one with Kevin Costner. But it was running.
Kevin Costner's AMERICAN FLYERS was his cycling film. I doubt if any sew-ups could handle his girth now.
Cycling Coach: Do you believe in the Virgin Mary?
Student: huh?
Long Live Cycling!!!!!
How much chamois cream was used during filming? Haha
I thought the thumbnail picture looked like sleepy joe falling off another bike.
Lean On Me in the desert
For once, a decent film with a decent message.
Looks like a cool movie...but, "i only ride park" (LOL)
Nobody rides off trail, and nobody rides alone.
stanley has come so far
i prefer the Peloton
White Water Summer
1:01 Joe Biden makes an appearance!
Is this Quicksilver as an older man?
Either go to see this or Sasquatch Sunset
I did see both. "Hard Miles" is a movie about civilizing monsters./// "Sasquatch Sunrise" is about Monsters not needing civilizing sliding down the Darwinian curve to extinction.
Wasn't he in Breaking Away?
