Two and a half minutes riding around in the dirt.
Last month I mentioned this project we filmed for our boys at Cycle World. Last week it became the video that everyone in the motorcycle industry was talking about.
We're pretty happy with how it turned out and more importantly everyone over at Cycle World seems genuinely pumped about it. Shout out to Alpinestars and Ducati for throwing it on their Facebook pages and everyone who helped blow it up on Twitter. Cyc World said the vid got some major traffic over the weekend.
This was a pretty epic shoot - Dudek, the rider, actually blew a tire during the shoot which caused some delays while it got patched and then made filming the bike jumping scenes a bit more nerve wrecking. Also Matt and Ryan drove the 4Runner up a mountain to get the one super wide shot and then they almost got it stuck trying to drive back down over some boulders. There happened to be a few random ATVers out at the lakebed in the background while we were filming so Matt had to digitally remove them from a few shots in post-production.
Thanks to Jeff Allen and Dudek for having us out there. Shout out to Scott and Sean from 4120 for the epic aerial shots. It's cool to look around online and see the response to this - in fact Matt and I were chatting at lunch today about possibly putting out a behind-the-scenes vid from this shoot. Could be cool - we'll see...
