We?re surprised it?s taken so long. The ?alt moto? movement has been on fire for at least a decade, but it?s never made the jump onto the big screen.
Oil In The Blood is the first film to catalog the builders, riders and artists who are driving the scene forward. It?s directed by Gareth Maxwell Roberts, a founding member of the Bike Shed club in London and the possessor of an unfeasibly large Rolodex.

The film includes many of today’s top builders, such as Ian Barry of Falcon, Max Hazan, Craig Rodsmith, Walt Siegl, Shinya Kimura, and Winston Yeh of Rough Crafts. Plus designers like Ola Stenegärd of Indian and Kurt Walter of Icon Motosports, and commentators like Paul ?The Vintagent? d’Orléans and yours truly.
