Kind of how your rides might look in your dreams, or after taking that funny pill your mate Spanner offered you in that club, this advert for Philips TVs took an insane amount of work to shoot, not to mention some super-skilled riding from Matt Hunter, Graham Agassiz and Matt Miles – jumping trees in the near-darkness and riding endless black scree slopes while in blinding spotlights. So, sit back and enjoy this again for seven minutes.

He's now wondering what to do next, while riding his bike in the French Pyrenees, where he also runs some gites.

  2. The lighting was amazing, but the riding in those conditions was outstanding. Even if you don’t like bike vids you could enjoy the spectacle.
