Sorry the footage is a bit grainy. I pulled from the show from my old VCR and Channel 6 doesn't come in so well at my house.

DerailedThis is my favorite selection from this years Filmed by Bike festival. The message delivered in this short darma by Oliver Ogden, Jared Staber, Chris Cosler is poignant and well delivered, which is something much more difficult to do than the other types of movies shown at Filmed by Bike (mine included).
Watch the movie and then let's discuss the plot and theme. For me it hits close to home to a decision I made in 2003 that helped put my life on track.
