Many apple-ogies if this has been done, but I’ve had a LOT of cider, and was moved..

That’s it. Ta.

love the first part

Nicely shot and edited with great bike skills. I would LOVE to make a film about road cycling in the Ribble valley and Bowland fells; the scenery is so special and there are so many cyclists around. It would be something stylish and atmospheric like the moorland shots in this:

Looks like Wakerley Woods!

I must be getting jaded in my old age, its more of the same to me. At least (as far as I watched) there were no high fives, air guitars or mention of being on a journey or returning to where it all started. I’m looking at you Coastal Crew. 😉

Two Broad Arrows on the other hand was brilliant.

Nah, not enough mud, nettles, brambles or (more recently) oddly thought-out and built FC blue trails.

plus one for Two Broad Arrows. Ace.

A recent run took me through Wakerly woods last month, first time I have been there since new trails have been built.

…erm…interesting routes.

I love that video – how to ride an AM bike properly!!!

Yup – beautifully shot indeed. Amazing riding too – especially on an AM bike with normal helmet etc.

This – too many gratuitous product shots (slow-mo on the rockshox bottle? please no).

I think it was nicely shot and composed and had lots of nice visual elements, but the audio was sorely lacking – the music was bland as anything, and where there was audio, it was poorly placed and completely understated.

I found the grading a little tedious, the end of the summer/summer evening colours are a little tired, and it would have looked nicer with a more natural grade.

Broadly, i’d have preferred to see some kind of narrative arc to it – this starts off like there might be something, even a weak arc – but the stuff on the jumps which it ends on completely destroy that, and it ends up like a compilation of stuff they shot, rather than a ‘film’ – if it had finished at the bottom of the hill (however constructed that might be) then it would have been better, and shorter…
