To celebrate the launch of our all-new Rapha x Braindead Trail collection, join us at the Braindead theater on Fairfax for a screening of the cult classic film, Quicksilver. Released in the mid-1980’s, the film follows the great Kevin Bacon as he loses his family wealth and pursues the life of a bike messenger in California. While the film has nothing to do with trail riding or mountain bikes, we love its quirky take on cycling and the Fairfax theater is the perfect setting to enjoy a true throwback classic. Doors open at 7 p.m. The film rolls at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the Braindead Theater Box Office.
Young Bacon makes some bad job decisions and finds liberation through being a bike courier. Man, i knew some of those guys back in the day and they were the true kings of the road in the CBD! Just make sure you were a helmet, mum said.
