Versus to air Jittery Joe’s Pro Cycling Team Documentary.

May 21, 2007 6:06 am

Hi folks,

Well, ever since our San Diego training camp way back in February, we’ve been followed around by a man with a video camera. If you’ve been at any of the races, you’ve probably seen him. His name is Myles Berman and he’s the guy behind the Jittery Joe’s Pro Cycling Team Documentary that Versus has picked up to air. From February to late April, Myles was there filming away hours and hours of footage. He was there filming at the races, the team meetings, the hotel rooms, the van rides, breakfast, lunch and dinner, interviews, and random bits of footage as we were ourselves and had forgotten the little red light was on and the camera was filming. It should be a great documentary that not only shows the competition side of professional cycling but also the human side.

Here’s the press release:

Athens, GA—One Of A Kind Films has inked a deal with Versus Television (formally Outdoor Life Network) to air a one-hour TV documentary following the Jittery Joe’s Professional Cycling Team from their training camp in San Diego through the Tour of Georgia and the Athens Twilight Criterium.

Is there any way to get a copy of this documentary? I don’t have acess to a TV to make a copy and would love to have one.

It’s still windy in dear ol’ Michigan, but it has finally warmed up. I’ve had only two days this spring without wind…… Spring planting is about 3/4 done, so is rather hectic around here as it is getting late to get seeds in the ground. Then it is right into making hay.

Who cares about the JJPCTD. I want to see the Austin King Show, live and up close. When is going to air?

Yeah… I know…

Supposedly the final cut made it all the way to VERSUS and they said a few changes needed to be made. Looks like it’s now scheduled to air in July during the Tour.
