00:08It started off as a DVD for fans of Graham, who wanted to see how he built a bike and

00:14things like that.

00:15And as the whole process went on, it developed and developed and it got bigger and bigger

00:19and bigger until we've got a massive, well hopefully a massive feature film out of it.

00:25Graham O'Brie has done it, he's beaten the world record, a new world record for Graham O'Brie.

00:31Really, I became famous for building bikes and winning bike races.

00:35Old Faith was officially the most famous bike in the world.

00:39There was a piece of washing machine in there, a washing machine that's untouched.

01:12what age you are.

01:13That speed trap doesn't care what age you are.

01:17Human power vehicle, seen as a niche part of the sport, I want to go out and break the

01:22world land speed record.

01:23Well, hugely, hugely grateful to Edinburgh and Diane for selecting us and putting us

01:30on at the festival, so that's massive.

01:32And it gives us huge credibility, I think, to be at a festival as prestigious as Edinburgh.

01:38But it's also rather nervous, nerve-making or nerve-wracking.
