Carts of Darkness

[Dirtbag]

Check this out next time you blaze one. Amazing documentary that follows a few folks that are into extreme shopping cart racing through North Vancouver, that evolves into a deep insight into the mind of homelesness and the struggles of people who live on the streets @Mr.GreenthumbOG check it out.

I don't know if you're familiar with North Van or not but for sure you'll find Big AL relatable.

Why did I have no idea this area even existed at the farm. Fuck I’m borderline computer illiterate.

holy fuck... that opening scene, bone out of leg... goddamn

Turns out Big AL lives in Nanaimo now, I saw him by the ferry terminal a couple weeks ago lol. He's in a wheelchair now and sounds like he had a stroke since this.

I watched the opening couple minutes.
Some cart cowboys there for sure. Will have to watch the rest later, but looks intense.

It's a good little show. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

wow.. i've become so detached, so blinded, i forgot what this is.

used to be a fairly prolific graffiti writer in the city i grew up in. many a night, we'd wake up a houseless person and let em know we were there, just painting, meaning no harm to them. probably pretty fuckin close to as drunk as they were.

now this reminded me how close most of us are to going right back to that. one utensil with dreams of a better life and a couple massive habits in the way.

thinking it's time for a serious reset and re-evaluation. damn...

I feel that. Gave me the same feels.

Here is a follow up with Big Al, pretty sad how much he declined after that documentary.

He’s picky when choosing out the perfect cart to bomb down the hill with, Safeway being the go to wheels.

true that. wish I'd seen this thread sooner, though I feel like it came at the right moment. fuckin @Dirtbag always comin in with the right shit at the right time. gotta schedule some time off work now though so i can reset and re-evaluate. i'm fuckin ashamed how far i've looked away from those things.
