Rideback

I'm stunned. I was looking through an old email file, and saw that back in 2009 a friend (perhaps former, he hasn't talked to me in ages) e-mailed me the torrent file for Rideback. On a whim, I double clicked it and uTorrent not only opened it, but damned if it didn't start downloading! And it was done in no time. Back in 2009 I think I was still on dial-up, and it took DAYS to complete the torrent, and the machine I had at the time couldn't really handle even playing 720p. I did burn the series to DVD (As Data, not rendered). And my next machine was able to play it.

How's the series? I need to re-watch it, I guess (add that to my immense To Watch list....) Generally the plot is our Heroine is a ballet dancer with a promising future until she wrecks her ankle in her debut lead performance. And she needs to learn something else in college. At school, she eventually runs across the riding club for these machines called "Ridebacks" which are transforming motorcycles. They go from a two-wheel traditional motorcycle form, to an upright, side-by-side wheel form. Oh, and they have arms. So it looks like the rider is riding piggyback on the machine. Hence the name.

At the same time, some rebel group somehow managed to take over the world, and is being really fash about it. The secret to their success was the use of military grade Ridebacks. So civilian use is eventually targeted for being counterrevolutionary.

Our heroine, because of her highly developed sense of balance, is a natural rider. (So natural that the balancing circuits on the machine are actually a hindrance.) And she manages to get caught up in the counterrevolution. Bad things happen and at one point the den Beste rule is violated. But I forget how it actually ends.

I have a 0 share ratio on this right now... :-( But having actual files is one advantage over my switch to using magnet links. Drop me a line if interested.
