The Bones shoot was of commercial nature but the use of a group bike ride was for a nice serendipity moment. Nothing negative about it at all. To the contrary. At the same time it was just a vignette. They could have a used a shot of a flock of birds instead and the episode wouldn't have changed at all. This can happen a lot. The way they often think is "let's throw a shot of

The question is; how are we going to deal with commercial requests in the future?
I'm not suggesting we do this but if you want to go pro someone needs to set up a database of interested of ridazz with rida photo , bike(s) photo, email, phone number, age, height. That's standard stuff for any extras casting agency. Then you get listed in indudtry directories like LA411.com Profit.
When RB talks about all the talent in the community I get a little bit frustrated because it's true and at the same time this website promotes anonymity and fake handles which doesn't help people with matching talents find each other and go beyond riding bikes and drinking beers together.
In conclusion every Friday at 7pm before the ride, everybody show up with name tags listing your name, profession, education & qualifications. Yeah.

No seriously. I see people in the community with two college degrees working as baristas. I see smart, talented people, unemployed and couchsurfing. On one hand I LOVE that this community is 100% outside of the system and the economy and on the other hand I'm thinking, if we all have to sell our asses to pay the rent, is there a way to do this by leveraging the talents within the community?
