| Description: | GRASS RIDERS Strange new pastime - "Turf Riding" - being dragged behind cars and motorbikes on a piece of wood. New form of recreation. People riding sleds across grass, pulled by automobiles or motorcycles. High angle LS looking down at car and 2 motorcycles pulling sleds across field in a "convoy". As they round a corner all the sledders wipe out. TLS of three young women getting on sled - really just a plain plank tied to the back of the auto, the car drives off pulling them behind. (This seems like it would be more painful than fun unless one equates the two things!) Teeth-jarring POV from car looking back at the sled bumping along. Wide elevated LS of car pulling women on sled, the motorcycles enter the picture again, they drive past an airplane parked in the field. Aerial shot looking down at the "Grass Riders" zip along and wiping out. TLS car driving toward camera pulling sledders, they wipe out. | |
