Watching right now. I'm enjoying it so far. Pug is a cool *** lil dude. It's crazy watchin his transformation. But I find myself wondering what his mom does for work.

edit

Just finished it, loved it. But man, I wish it was longer. It kind of ended on a cliffhanger. I hope the director does a part 2 or at least writes some kind of article about what Pug is currently doing and what happened when the documentary ended. Anyway, I highly recommend it for anyone interested in bike life culture or just urban culture in general. Enjoy.

Right now
 
Just finished watching it. Man I love my city. A few dudes I know was in it. They captured Sundays perfectly. I'm sure I'll get an update on Pug this week from talk in the city.
 
For those that watched already a question about the end

Was that his bike he was stealing back or one like his. I couldn't tell when he said "let my get a picture of my new *****"
I felt bad for little man when dude took off on his bike, he knew it was gone instantly. Pug had to know better than that...

I think it was his bike. I kept thinking he was going to tell one of the older heads to run up on dude who took it.
 
Ayy my city. They def caught the true essence of growing up in inner city Baltimore. Interesting to see pug's transformation.

I remember growing up with dudes just like him, and life didn't turn out too good for them. Hopefully shorty makes something of himself.

Wish it was a bit longer, but I can't complain. Pug seem like cool lor wild N****.

Anytime someone says their going around the block with your possession, consider yourself beat.

Wasnt his bike.
1. "Let me get a pic of my new *****"
2. 2nd bike was a bigger bike.

It was cool bc i grew up in MD.
But it was too short and not as fulfilling as i thought.
THey ended it like it never started.
 
Didn't live up to the trailer but still was a decent watch... I personally love bike culture so I thought they did a good job of capturing how the youth gets involved with it.

B More is crazy man. I really do wanna know what happens with Pug. Like everyone said it ended to abruptly...

Pugs mom got that classic rachet story on lock.
 
Lil shorty Pug is a star.

Hope somebody take him under his wing and get him into acting.

[h1]Teen in dirt bike documentary injured by police[/h1][h2]Dirt biking riding illegal in Baltimore; Police don't routinely give chase[/h2]
BALTIMORE —A Baltimore teen known for his role in a documentary called "12 O'Clock Boys" said a run-in with the law as he was riding his dirt bike -- an illegal activity in the city -- left him injured.

Taekwon Ford, 16, said he was knocked off his dirt bike by a police officer and then shocked by a Taser over the weekend.

Ford, whose friends call him Pug, said the incident left him with bruises, and now he has to walk with crutches.

"When it first happened, my adrenaline was rushing, so I didn't feel nothing," Ford told 11 News.

Riding dirt bikes is an activity that's illegal in Baltimore City, something the state's attorney and city police believe is a serious public safety threat -- so serious that police officers do not routinely give chase.

But Ford said that wasn't the case Saturday night when he said a police officer began chasing him as he was riding his dirt bike with some friends.

"When I was turning onto Lafayette (Avenue), there was a police car just sitting, and it came out real fast and just bopped me from the front. I flew off the bike. My shoe came off, and then I ran," Ford told 11 News.

He said he was then shocked by a Taser.

"I seen red dots on the wall, and that's when I just felt a shock and I just dropped," Ford said.

"I didn't see the Tasing, but I heard it. You know how you hear the sound? And then I heard him saying 'Ouch, Ouch,'" said family friend Deasia Venable.

"The police is not right," said Coco Brown, Ford's mother. She took photos of her son's wounds. "I seen a burn mark on his side, like a hook, and I knew that he was Tased. I thought the law was no chasing, but they're still chasing. They could have killed my son."

Ford and his mom helped to create a documentary called "12 O'Clock Boys" to shed light on the group of riders and how it's helping some stay out of trouble.

Brown said her son didn't do anything wrong, and he wasn't charged with a crime. She said she just wants her son to continue doing something he loves.

"They not our here killing nobody. They're not out here hurting nobody," she said.

Brown said the main reason for making the documentary "12 O'Clock Boys" was to send a message to the public and to police and that finding a park or another area where her son and other dirt bike riders can safely ride needs to be a priority.

11 News reached out to Baltimore City police on Sunday.

While they weren't able to talk about the reason why policy wasn't followed in the case, a police representative did confirm that there was an incident resulting in injury and that the department was investigating all of the events from Saturday night.

Taekwon Ford is a pretty dope name.
 
Is this movie any good?

I been seeing it get aired on Showtime a lot. The synopsis wasn't enough to keep me watching from anywhere in the middle but since The Wire got brought up :nerd:
 
Watched about 20 minutes worth last night on Showtime before I dozed off. It was good enough for me to look for it OnDemand this afternoon when I get home. That boy Pug has no future :smh: Seeing it play out in front of your eyes on TV is crazy. His mom, tho :smh:
 
Yes it is sad to see the lives of these children. Even though they have an outlet to have fun and temporarily get rid of their problems by enjoying a ride on their bikes. At the same time they are placing themselves and many others at risk if they are reckless.
