After watching that Andy Wardman CX film, i thought i'd have a go at something simple myself.

Written, directed and starring myself, it's not as easy as i thought. Filming and riding at the same time has a lot of running back and forwards.

Anyway, do your worst, what do you think?

You forgot to say it contains pictures of one of those strange bike with bendy handlebars.

Could do with music.

nicely done…also have a go overlapping to fade to the next clip and fadeing out to black…50/50 on music..sometimes wildlife captures the moment…

Sorry, i dont get it, its just shots of you riding past a camera, is it meant to be showing off the landscape or your riding or something else ?

PS: Dont know if you have noticed but you have left your wheel reflectors on.

wheel reflectors are on because i use this bike for commuting

Fair do's, but take em off for filming, they look poo !!

have a look at this one for inspiration

Thanks rOcKeTdOg,
i'll use some of those techniques in the future

funny ive never really liked the proclaimers that much but that music suits that film so much…and that is a nice made film,grins on film are always good 😮
too many folk slag off films who never make them themselves and it is alot of hard work..but it can pay off 😉

on the subject of films i think this is amazing…non cycling content but filmed in the UK using remote controlled helicopters…
imagine if these guys made a mtb film…enjoy…

Great vid OP – we may have to get you to show us that hill sometime soon.

Bruce – thanks for that link, great film.

RD – thats cool.

Do you ever use your saddle? Seem to be out of the saddle in every clip 🙂

If this is your first attempt, well done. There are some nicely framed shots there. On the negative it was a bit too long with not enough variation of shots. I've only ever done ski vids but my first attempt wasn't as slick as this.

Nice vid OP, looks great. It's something I'll never do because I couldn't be bothered with the phaff of all that stop starting, but hats off to you. The alluring thing though is that you always get to look like you are giving it 100% on every bit of the ride!!

cheers for all the comments guys

i'll take most of them on board for the next one
