Team RadioShack Race Radio Redub
Aug 10 2010
This isn’t my best work, but considering the source material—audio from the Nike US Postal documentary The Road To Paris, an old RadioShack mobile phone ad from 1990, and a brief clip from Floyd Landis’ Nighline interview—it’s not too awful.
I’d hoped to scrape some more goodies from The Lance Chronicles, but Floyd and the radios just don’t come up all that much.
Some blame should also go to @mmmaiko for coming up with the idea (kinda).

Meh. We still love you, though.
I’ll vote thumbs-up.
well…
not your best effort, but thanks for trying
Honestly, I think The Road To Paris is a very good film. Shoot me.
@Max: I also enjoy The Road to Paris; never meant to imply that I didn’t. It’s focused on Lance the cyclist, instead of Lance the brand, and I think it gives fun picture of what a pro cycling squad is like.
The problem is some of the production value gets in the way of re-using it like this. The accordion music, for example, or the way the interviews/footage have already been chopped up. It’s not conducive to re-chopping.
Very clever cyclocosm! The other day I discovered that I had two radioshack “walkie -talkies” (two way radio transceiver). They were never that great.
Hilarious.
