Cyclo-Cross – Lesson 1 with Adam and Paul

So when World Cup DH racer Adam Brayton mentioned he fancied trying a little cyclo-cross this off-season we thought he’d need a lesson or two. Who better to give him a few tips than former National Cyclo-cross Champion and one of Hope’s best tool makers, Paul Oldham. Downhill meets cyclo-cross, or cyclo-cross meets downhill….
Rob Jebb watch out…

Fabien Barel presents S2E4 – Riding Spruce Lake with Jeff Lenosky

Fab is joined by Jeff Lenosky for a visit to Canada, and they fly to remote trails accessed only by float plane on Spruce Lake. The riding is sweet, but there’s a small problem – the only way to leave is also by float plane, and if Jeff rides trials too long in the campsite, they miss the plane …

Jon Television – The Balance

Finding the balance between work and your personal life is a never-ending trade-off. In my case; that balance is between making films and riding my bike. The state of perfect balance is when they both converge; when I get the chance to combine both riding and filming at the same time.
Since me and Philip Lundman share this view upon bikes and cameras, we’ve have had the idea of making another film together on that theme for quite some time now. We finally found some time to make it happen.

Scott Laughland • At Home

Racing and training in Europe is hard to beat, but everyone has that one local trail that no matter where you have been, you look forward to returning home and getting out on. Gaining momentum through his race season and competing in the European rounds of the Enduro World Series, Scott Laughland returns home to ride his local trails after finishing in 6th place at the Ischgl European Open, Austria. Filmed on a crisp autumnal day, the trails were dry and the sun was shining, perfect conditions to ride flat out.
After completing a 5 year University degree in Masters in Mechanical Engineering, Scott now plans to switch his focus to Enduro racing for 2014 where the goal is to be competitive in the World Enduro Series.

Home – A Bike Film

“Home” is only a brief glimpse into the lives of three brothers who have been riding bikes since they were all knee high to a grasshopper. In documentary as well as classic bike film style, Home tries to capture the essence of what it means to live and ride in the Cariboo. The idea is that biking is a part of life here, not just a succession of epic backflips and stuff. It’s crashes and sometimes crutches and it’s still fun.

Segments Trailer

Featuring some of the best riding in the Sea to Sky area, along with some gems of British Columbia’s great interior terrain. Everything from from the renowned shores of North Vancouver to the deep dusty Kamloops Bike Ranch, I think we have covered it all in this one!

Aston Hill: Black Run

Sometimes it’s those unexpected moments, happy accidents if you will, that make a project come together. This unplanned late-summer short film followed exactly that route from start to finish, opening up an unseen world of detail, from a rider’s focus, to the movement of wheels and suspension tracking the terrain.

Technotricity: For The Love Of The Ride

Technotrocity is an 1100m, 11km descent and must be one of the hardest things I have ever ridden. The trail is quite mixed, however the main, middle part is extremely rocky with a lot of exposure.

ANTILOOP WORLD FIRST from ANTIPODES

Two Days at Gloucester

The top Cyclocross racers in the U.S. gathered in Gloucester, MA for two days of racing by the sea. Unable to compete due to injury, I traded my bike for my camera and went out with no plan other than a Philip Glass song in my head.

Metropolis II by Chris Burden (the movie)

A short doc about a kinetic sculpture that took four years to build. We had the honor of spending three days in Chris Burden’s studio filming this sculpture before it was moved to the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art (LACMA) where it is being reinstalled.
The installation opened fall 2011.
