Based in the Surrey Hills, Will Greenfield makes some great short mountain bike films of himself and other riders. One thing we really like is that he shows mistakes: rather than editing loads of b-roll down into the most super-serious, mega-rad edit possible; some of it gets left in and the result is some talented riders having fun and being a bit silly on bikes. Another thing we like is that, while the riding on show is fast and skilled, the fact a lot of it is cutties and smaller jumps means it feels attainable for mere mortals.
David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly.
Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.
Excellent! Loved the bodydrag.
