Blurred Lines examines the sport of Pacific Northwest motorcycle club road racing, the safety precautions that the industry has taken, and the tragic injuries and deaths that follow. Filmed at Seattle's Pacific Raceway and Oregon's Portland International Raceway, the documentary features interviews with over 30 motorcycle riders, vendors and raceway coordinators, each with their own assessment of risk when they put on the helmet. The film explores the issue of whether their competitive attitudes have, at times, crossed the line beyond their control, putting their lives and their fellow riders unnecessarily at risk for the sport they love. Blurred Lines was created by David Crawford and Troy Kirby as a fundraiser for air fence, a product that protects riders and saves lives by creating softer barriers when motorcyclists crash during road races.
