Michigan rocks! I actually had a brother in law who did the derby thing one year.

[tmudd24]

got to love shade tree mechanics. if you give them a wheal and some duck tape they can deliver a race car

[UkMetro]

a day before the race? Why the fuck didnt they get this done a week before the race? no common sense, maybe they should read more?

[down4whatever2009]

did you record this using a toploader?

[ankhi3]

@down4whatever2009 : I didn't actually record it myself, I downloaded a collection of Louis Theroux episodes and just saw it missing on the tube.

[arentiexclusive]

@ankhi3 And you're a champ for uploading it. Many thanks.

Does anyone else think that his sunglasses near the end of this vid are those "Blublockers" from those damn late night infomercials in the 80's? 

Interestingly, they are still being sold, and marketed towards the club scene and douches like the Jersey Shore crowd!. Check their website out! It made me giggle. Loudly.

damn Kenny Powers IRL

I love the classic Louis Theroux technique here at the 7-8:00. Whenever somebody says something negative about Louis he doesn't drop it until someone says something nicer/supports him. I swear he does it in every documentary I've seen from him. XD

[graemeoliver84]

@TheseAreFilms Isn't he just being sarcastic here? Surely he realises his kind of thing isn't his cup of tea, isn't he just playing out the fish-out-of-water thing for humour? That's what he often does because he's so unsuited to the things he has a go at (wrestling, broadway singing auditions, rapping etc.)

[sofeecat]

Thank you so much for uploading! I thought I'd seen every Louis Theroux doc on the Internet!

[fredjhenzel]

Rowzdower!



[vitolizer]

Thanks for uploading this!

[brenthoser99]

Those fellas seem like real Good people.

[Boabywankenobi]

I like that first guy - good, honest person. Not enough of them about if you ask me....

[RequestADubplate]

"its not because i can't read, I CAN READ!"

[RequestADubplate]

"whats your hobby? uuuuh...uuuuuh...i like reading"

[Mayhemlees]

search for "demolition" series by the phoenix film group, way better coverage of the sport.

[Mayhemlees]

He should've went to a serious derby builders garage, he picked the wrong people.

[sinmantky]

@Mayhemlees Louis focuses on those who dont get attention

[MrPatrickbryan]

ive watched everything by Louis but i cant find the 'when louis met... the hamiltons' episode, if anyone knows where i can watch that please please let me know

[theryan777]

stupid hicks and their cars

[MrPatrickbryan]

@theryan777 stupid trolls and their comments :P

[graemeoliver84]

@theryan777 If you think they're bad, watch the wrestling episode with the amateur wrestlers cutting themselves to shreds for their audience (who even bring their young children to watch)

[IEscapeband]

@graemeoliver84 i saw, its insane

[mmyyppaarrttyy]

i dont think youre supposed to look straight into the flame when welding...

[terryshilo]

He knows how to wind these people up. It's the greatness of Louis. He pulls it off in a nerdy type of way. Where most of us would try to appease someone teasing us, he grins and keeps going.

[Adam420o]

these are getting harder to find as i watch more of them

[jedf666]

@Adam420o I've found almost every one on youtube but had to go to veoh.com to find the "Gangsta Rap" episode recently which I'd highly recommend.

[ankhi3]

@jedf666: I just uploaded it, for those who are interested.

[ankhi3]

@ankhi3: And BBC already blocked it. :(

[78willoughby]

so glad you uploaded this, i couldn't find it anywhere
