Media Monday: More Mexican Madness

Post double vez en Mexico's Capital City nos sentiamos nesitamos un poco restora.

Now would be a great time to remind folks that they can buy a piece of exciting Bike Sexual art!

It took media in Mexico to remind us that we have so much great, unique art to share!

Moreover this series of photos is available now direct from our Milano Bike Smut office!

JUMP ON IT!

Filmmaker Focus #2 - Vulvaline

We continue our weekly series where you the content starved bikesexuals get to learn a little more about the people who turn you on to getting off... on bikes!

FILMMAKER FOCUS

This 2nd Filmmaker Focus highlights a brilliant bit of bikesexual/automotive/transpirational tonge-in-cheeky action. The kind that pulls you in and brings your attention to a peak then delivers the big "HEYO!" at the end. Its one of THREE from Montreal this year, the most movies we have ever received from a single city in one program. It is also directed by a woman, although that is hardly a rarity for Bike Smut. 7 of the 12 movies are directed by women compared to only 4 by men (and there is a little queerness about some of the directors' gender so it might be closer to 5 or 6 women, 2 or 3 men with 6 films by queer filmmakers/multi-gendered collaborations)

But why listen to us prattle when you can hear direct from Marie-Ève Laroche, of Montreal, Quebec.

This is the little story of Vulvaline... 

I made the movie Vulvaline because my boyfriend went to your presentation in Montréal last year and when he came back, he told me that it was the best evening of his life. At the same place he saw sexual movie, bike performance, he ate grill-cheese and he drank lot of cheap beer, four thing that my lover can kill to have! 

He was so impress about your festival that he spend the last year trying to convince me to make our personal movie. He wanted us to go downhilling naked with just a fullface helmet and having outside sex after the ride. All this while being filmed! I was not very open to his idea, I am video journalist and usually when I produce a video, it's for more serious subject!  

But is stubbornness had made a trail in my mind and one night that I could not sleep, I found the idea for my movie. It's inspired by a friend who described us little bit too much about the juice of his fuckfriend. He told us, that she produce so much that he can market it for old dry women. 

   

My boyfriend is a bike shop owner and he told so many customers about the festival, that it was not difficult to find a beautiful girl willing to play in my movie. Maria (the actress) was very motivate and we made the movie in one day last spring. I borrowed all the equipment at my job and William my colleague helped me for the filming and editing. He was very professionnel because I don't know many guys who can stay concentrated when filming a girl cuming. 

I love my bike! It's the reason how I met my boyfriend. I using it every day, twelve month by year and this is why I made a movie about Love bike. I know it's a very soft film for your festival but I hope you will appreciate! 

 Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings!

Bike Smut 7: The Porny Express in Montreal
Thursday, October 17th!
Cafe Cleopatra
1230 St. Laurent 
9pm

Hop on 'The Porny Express"

It's time for YOU to contribute to another year of ethical bicycle perversion!

For six years we have asked our ever-growing community of bike-sexuals to express their ideas on bikes and sex. Year seven will be no different. Last year's program boasted SEVEN films by European filmmakers! (Great job, Europe!) This year, we went all around America and into Canada on our excellent 'Tour De Trixxx' We also went south of the border for THE VERY FIRST TIME on our 'Riding MeXXXico' Tour. We also managed to have Bike Smut films showing in 3 major cities on two continents all in one weekend! This included a very well attended Berlin Porn Film Festival Screening with rave reviews.

You have never failed to impress and surprise us with your creativity. We are sure year seven will be no different and we are so excited to continue sharing this content all over the world without ever putting it online or releasing a DVD.

Maybe you saw the movies and were inspired. Or maybe you saw the movies and were unimpressed. Maybe you didn't see the movies, but want to ensure you don't miss it next time round. (The best way to get us to come to our town is by making a movie!) Maybe you are a cyclist who wants to inspire your friends to be more open about sex, or introduce your pervy/kinky friends to the wonderful empowerment of the bicycle. Maybe you just like bikes and sex. It can be that simple!!

So, you wanna know how to get in on the action??

1. Get an idea! What do you like about bikes and sex? This years theme is 'The Porny Express'. What does that mean to you? Bicycles dressed up as horses? Old west brothels with bicycle parking? And still the throne of ultimate bike-sexuality remains unclaimed. Can you obtain coitus whilst riding a bicycle? (That's right, it's never been done and sent to us on film!)  We are not too strict on our themes. So, whatever your idea, make it sexy, make it clever, make it awesome. Just make bike porn!!!

2. Find a friend(s). It is possible to make a totally solo and totally great bike porn. But even if you and your bike are the only 'actors' its great to have a few more people on board. Camera operators are handy and make it easier to get better shots. Musicians can be great for providing sexy backing music. More people means more ideas, which can lead to really really great art. This project is all about community, so get your community involved in a great project!

3. Get a camera. (What, that cell phone shoots video??) We dont care how you shoot it. Just find a way to get it in some shareable format. Cameras are everywhere these days. Shoot in super 8, shoot in HD, string a bunch of still images together from your iphone. We prefer 16x9 ratio, but if you wanna shoot in pixelsvison or some other crazy format, we are ok with that.

4. Make your movie. Lights, camera, action as they say. Once you get it all recorded you are going to want to try your hand at some editing. Sharing ideas works best when they are quick and concise. Keep it under 10 mins (we think 5 mins and under is even better!) and the audience is more likely to stay engaged and understand what you are trying to say. That also keeps our show to one evening long, rather than an all night marathon of bike porn.

5. Fill out the 'Entry Form.' I know, i know...paperwork!!!??! It's a boring part of the biz, but we gotta do it. We kept it as short as possible, and it's a little more work for you that means A LOT less work for us. You can get your copy from HERE. If you have questions, send us an email.

6. Get your movie in our hands by May 25th! The entry form also has all the info you need to get it so us.  Once we have it, we promise not to put it online, release a DVD or tell your grandma.

May 5th 25th is the deadline for Bike Smut 7: The Porny Express

Just in case you didn't get that before.

You make it possible for bikers to talk about sex. You make it

possible for sex fiends to enjoy biking. You make your community

stronger and more aware. You share these things with people you care

about because it improves their lives. All you have to do is make a movie.

P.S. We have some super sweet posters and postcards for our 'call for entries', featuring the beautiful art above. If you work in a bookstore, bike shop, bordello or some similar community space that might want to share these ideas in poster/postcard format, please get in touch. bikesmut@gmail.com

P.P.S. Are you a great writer? Why not send us a submission to our 'Great Bike-Sexual Story Contest'.

YEEEEE-HAW!!!!

Turning TriXXX in Salt Lake

Oh Salt Lake, so delightfully misunderstood. There are few places where we see the shining glory of budding bikesexuality with such vigor and excitement. Maybe it is the oppressive dominate culture that gives them the extra energy to bring our screenings-turned bike races-turned dance parties to the hilt? Either way Salt Lake has a special place in our hearts, as it never fails to provide an amazing show.

We are stoked to return to one of our most favorite venues in the entire Northern Hemisphere, the uplifting bikesexual palace of Point Six Percent Productions!

Don't know about em? Come on down to the show and learn all about it! There will be about a hundred shining faces ready to excitedly learn and share!

Bring it.

Thanks for getting SPRUNG!

HA! Between receiving your exciting new expressions of bike romance, planning the brutal public flogging of the worst transportation planners in Cascadia and helping to organize the estimated TEN THOUSAND naked bodies that will fill the streets of Portland in the worlds largest naked bike ride we have not really taken account of all the action we have had going on over here.

Paul Hanna/Reuters

We got you SPRUNG!

Well its been nice sharing with you many of our favorite non-bike specific erotic/porn movies. Many expressed regret not being able to attend all of the shows, and that is reasonable. Each program was stunningly different and with no content repeating...

We would like to offer our thanks to our many supporters including...

our inspired filmmakers:
Bruce LaBruce's infamous story of leftist queer sex revolution "Raspberry Reich"
Tinto Brass's tale of a young, horny, Italian girl demanding sex... NOW!  "Monella" 
Courtney Trouble's oversexed FTM's hunt for his stolen bike "Billy Castro Does the Mission"
Jenifer Lyon Bell's patient expression of love in a world gone soundbyte "Skin. Like. Sun."
Rinse Dream's surreal hardcore post apocalypse art house midnight movie, "Cafe Flesh"

our glorious performers:
Hammercise who created all new bikesexual dance moves for our performance
Miss Steak who's erotic Jesus Christ Superstar puppetry shocked and stunned
Fatha Green who's magnanimous use of the mic humbled and entertained


and also the folks at the Clinton St Theater for their commitment to creating more interesting, local content not to mention and all the people around town who thought our image of a pair of birds humping on bicycle handlebars was not at all offensive (especially because we have not been able to put up ANY of our TURNING TRIXXX posters anywhere!)

So, there you have it. Five successful screenings on the themes that matter to people who like to get around and not let anyone else tell them how or who to ride. It seems the answer to life might be a paraphrased quote of the Portlandia:"Put a fucking bird on it!"

GET SPRUNG!

Oh dear, is there a 12" adjustable wrench in our pocket or are we happy to see you?!?!

SPRUNG!

A weekly series of movies and performances to encourage better sex and better transportation

Every Tuesday night in May Bike Smut will take over the Clinton St Theater with a new program designed to titillate, educate and motivate. The summer months are nearly upon us; when was the last time you gave your ride a long, hard one over?  Speaking of long hard ones, when was the last time you were in an audience full of consenting adults watching porn together? And not just any porn, porn to change the world by.

That's right, we put a bike-fucking bird on it

Each week the films and performances in SPRUNG! will focus on a particular idea relating to sex and transportation without repeating any of our amazing content. The themes are:

May 1st REVOLUTION
May 8th POWER
May 15th MUTATIONS
May 22nd FAITH CYCLE
May 29th POLY-NOMADAL
By riding bicycles we take control of our transportation, of how we move across our communities and interact with them. Bicycles free us from the rigid boundaries of a car.  By asking our community to make erotic films, we can help redefine obscenity, and free ourselves from the capitalist ideals of pornography. Bike Smut is about reclaiming agency over our daily lives and defeating the patriarchal appropriation of our bodies.

But this isn't about bikers vs drivers, or queers vs breeders, or pervs vs norms, or film snobs vs couch potatoes (well, it kind of is about the latter; we HATE when people shut themselves in). This is about elevating our lives. Both porn lovers and haters are enamored with the way Bike Smut engages topics of sexuality, providing a venue for emerging artists to share their ideas and a forum for discussion and exploration for all.  Drivers, walkers, longboarders, Rascal pilots, all are encouraged to share. (Note: we are making an exception for pocket bikes, if you choose to ride one of those around your neighborhood you probably deserve to be alone).

WEEK ONE - REVOLUTION 

What a way to kick off this series of movies that have inspired better sex and better transportation then by capping off the May Day celebrations with movies inspired by the Revolution?!!?

It is our honor to host the Portland Premiere of Bruce LaBruce's infamous "Raspberry Reich"

"The Raspberry Reich" is an agit-porn movie about modern leftist Germans adopting the culture and politics of the extreme left wing movements of the 1970s. The leader of the Raspberry Reich, Gudrun, who has patterned herself after Gudrun Ensslin, one of the main members of the Baader-Meinhoff Gang (the Red Army Faction), spends her time indoctrinating vital, athletic young men to her cause. A strict devotee of Wilhelm Reich, she believes that heterosexual monogamy is a bourgeois construct that must be smashed in order to achieve true revolution. To that end, she forces her followers to have sex with each other to prove their mettle as authentic revolutionaries. A porno-political-palooza.

The film also acts as a critique of the left, particularly in its tendency to not practice what it preaches via unrealistic and dogmatic political rhetoric. The film is an examination of the phenomenon of "terrorist chic", depicting how the signifiers of radicalism are now packaged and sold by capitalist culture as a way of neutralizing and rendering ineffectual any sort of viable, sincere revolutionary impetus.  

With manifestos, blow jobs, threats of violence, and decrees of "death to the capitalist pig" whilst fucking in the street The Raspberry Riech will leave more than an impression. How this film has never been officially screened in Portland before is beyond us.

Bike Smut 6: Turning Trixxx

Yes, its our official 'Call for Entries' for our sixth year of sexy and empowering bicycle film programming.

 

You would think after 5 years we would have seen just about everything to do with bikes and sex, and  be satisfied! Yet, this could not be further from the truth! Our chains are still lubed and waiting to be pumped full of the awesome power of DIY transportation and pornography! 

We had some excellent entries over the past years, ranging everywhere from 'fall off your bike' hilariousness to 'fall off your bike' horniness. Including some great international entries we received while enacting our world domination plan in Europe! Our community of radical bike-sexuals has proven many times over that they are smart, funny and aware! We are so grateful for every submission we have received in the past, and we are over-joyed to continue share great art with other like-minded individuals, the world over!

We have some really exciting plans for the future of Bike Smut, but they won't be possible without your contributions. Maybe you saw the movies and were inspired. Or maybe you saw the movies and were unimpressed. Maybe you didn't see the movies, but want to ensure you don't miss it next time round. (The best way to get us to come to our town is by making a movie!) Maybe you are a cyclist who wants to inspire your friends to be more open about sex, or introduce your pervy/kinky friends to the wonderful empowerment of the bicycle. Maybe you just like bikes and sex. It can be that simple!!

Europe, we are talking to you! The success of our first ever european tour will be measured by how many great movies we get from YOU! It will also determine our return. You want more?? Show us what you got.

Steps to making your bike porn happen:

1. Get an idea! What do you like about bikes and sex? This years theme is 'Turning Trixx'. What does that mean to you? Sex workers doing bar spins? Obtaining coutis on a bike whilst riding it? (Actually no, no one has done that before!! WTF!?) We are not too strict on our themes. So, whatever your idea, make it sexy, make it clever, make it awesome. Just make bike porn!!!
2. Find a friend(s). It is possible to make a totally solo and totally great bike porn. But even if you and your bike are the only 'actors' its great to have a few more people on board. Camera operators are handy and make it easier to get better shots. Musicians can be great for providing sexy backing music. More people means more ideas, which can lead to really really great art. This project is all about community, so get your community involved in a great project!

6. Get your movie in our hands by June 6th! Once you have the entry form you will also know how to send us your movie. Once we have it, we promise not to put it online, release a DVD or tell your grandma.

June 6th is the deadline for Bike Smut 6: Turning Trixxx
