  • Murray Siple's feature-length documentary follows a group of homeless men who have combined bottle picking with the extreme sport of racing shopping carts down the steep hills of North Vancouver. This subculture depicts street life as much more than the stereotypes portrayed in mainstream media. The film takes a deep look into the lives of the men who race carts, the adversity they face and the appeal of cart racing despite the risk. Shot in high-definition and featuring tracks from Black Mountain, Ladyhawk, Vetiver, Bison, and Alan Boyd of Little Sparta.
    Directed by Murray Siple - 2008 | 59 min

    My mom was diagnosed with ALS in 2020 and I moved back home to take care of her. She lost her voice, her body, everything. Completely paralyzed except for the eyes. A couple months before she passed in my arms, we took her to the park in her wheelchair. There was a very small hill and I hopped on the back and we rolled down the hill, not very fast at all, but when we did, my mom let out a loud yell, but not one of anguish that we were so used to, but excitement. She had the biggest smile on her face and we laughed together for a short while. That was the last time I heard my mom happy. It's incredible the power of adrenaline. God bless everyone involved in this doc. Gotta come back and cry happy tears to it every once in a while.

      Lost my mom not to ALS but to brain cancer ...she died within 6 months and I too saw her decline from a healthy vibrant person to not being able to walk or get out of bed ....my mom passed in February 2019 at 51 ...I wish I could say it gets easier but it never does ....u just learn to live with that emptiness inside ....
      I moved back with my mom to take care of her as well and I admire the fact that u did ....that's what us kids are supposed to do ...our moms sacrificed and took care of us the least we can do is return the favor ....I appreciate the cool story and it made me smile and think of my mom ...hope ur doing good and I wish u all the best ... cheers 🥂

I even have a 2 story home on the river now.. sometimes miss my homeless friends and late night drinks but I don't miss the hard job it was just to survive day to day...it's a hard hard hard way to live at the pleasure of freedom is what takes us back...so now my freedom comes with working hard.grilling bbq chicken for my kids and teaching them how to fish ans as a bonus I've got a wonderful woman I can snuggle with at night...the movie so hit home....thanks to all who contribute to this film..it hit home and brought a tear ....hope those guys are doing well or atleast at peace...ide love to drop them off a few beers and some smokes just to show my appreciation!!!..

      That is more human than our robotic lives fixing a false "professional" persona for others we don't care about in the slightest. Professional working life is incredibly artificial on every level, very few people are the exact same at work as they are at home. Having products does not make you a human being. I have a gaming PC, 4K TV, a decent bed, a decent house and all sorts of stuff, like most people, yet like many, I feel more human and alive when climbing a mountain or camping, without all my toys and tech and comforts. We do not have a lot of choice to be in this world - this is one of the other options, so most of us commit to it in hopes of a better future, but who doesn't hope for a future where they don't need to go to work? To retire comfortable after a long life of hard work. To be able to be human again.

  • @Leper-Boy

    This is the most soulful documentary that I've ever watched. It was truly touching. Certain scenes transported me right back to times when I was younger, before the life had been drained out of me. This also reminded me of me and my friends, past and present. How free you can feel while doing what you love, hanging out with your friends and dwelling in the bush. I miss those times, however it's made me recall these memories in such a fond way. These memories, I've previously pushed from my mind in favour of forgetting the fact that it's all in the past now, but for some reason I see them in a different light after watching this. Those memories now remind me that a life like that happened, that it was possible and that it still is. Life is to be appreciated and cherished. I should - and I can - have fun with what I do again. This documentary was a great reminder of that.
    The people featured in the documentary (everyone featured, including the filmmaker) are wiser than anyone would know. Truly beautiful human beings with beautiful souls. I truly wish the best for them. They've reminded me of some pretty important things which I've forgotten about after sitting around for years during quarantine. I wish I could personally thank them. What this documentary has made me realise is that no matter how old I get, no matter what happens to me or no matter what comes my way, I can always get back the life and soul that used to fill me. I can still enjoy my life, not everything has to be dull just because of the bad things that have happened to me. Thank you for reminding me.
    A random UA-cam recommendation has made me realise all this. Haha, life works in funny ways sometimes. That's why life is so good I suppose.

They assist those a part of those agencies, the hive mentality, either one of them or against them and they are truly evil vile low vibrational entities that feed off humanity. Those that willingly allow the torment, murder and suffering of innocent children to ensure a wage, perk or career are abominations and those that fight to save their own are slandered, targeted, prevented from being employed, made homeless and harassed by all within the societal agencies. The devils in the details and everywhere else and if you have integrity, moral code then you do not belong. When they claim to serve and protect, for safety, it is the exact opposite. They protect their own, not the children nor the masses, they protect their way of ensuring their high paying job, that is made off the suffering of the most vulnerable the innocent children and then the woman. Satan's world but his time is soon up and he will burn for eternity! So having one friend is being rich, because all mine sold me out, not a single one gave me a heads up just turned and assisted those with an agenda.

      It wasn't random or a total accident. You can thank UA-cam's recommended video algorithm for putting it in the sidebar or at the end of another video at some point. That's undoubtedly where you "totally accidentally" found it, just like me. There's no "accidents" here on UA-cam in that sense, just algorithms working away to try to get you to watch more stuff ;)

      Not to brag, but I used to have a shopping cart attached to the front of my nishiki bicycle. I'd take the front tire off and stick the forks thru the back of the cart and through the bottom of the cart and then it would lock into the bottom bar. It was the shit. I got a lot of attention, in a good way. If you're curious and you actually going to try it you probably have to turn the handlebars so that the forks curve the opposite way.

I hated when the homeless people would leave then 3 blocks away and me and my crew would have to walk for 15 mins to get 2 carts. But riding those carts back to the store was the same rush as these gents get. God bless democracy and god bless these men. I got pay $11 an hour to push these carts into a building. They get payed more to use them to collect cans. Maybe we were the ones in the wrong….

      Its tough to be homeless? Then why do people do it to themselves. People chose to be homeless the moment they start taking serious drugs or drinking too much. So it is not like it is thrust upon these people and they do not have choices.

    • @VestigialHead
      @VestigialHead 5 років тому

      @Joseph Bennett Yes the people who are homeless from the Hurricane brought it on themselves. If you build or buy a badly constructed non hurricane proof home then that was your choice. You might say oh but that is all they could afford. Yep that is also their choice. If you want a bigger home you get a higher paying job, you budget and save and not pig out, drink, gamble etc. You buy quality home insurance so you are not homeless if your house is destroyed.
      So people make their own destiny.
