Roadtrip - a short film following three mountain bikers on their journey around the South Island.

On Boxing Day 2006, three of us headed south to take in some of the best riding on offer.
Over the next eight days we rode Naseby, Alexandra, Wanaka, Dirt Park, Port hills, Bottle Lake, Hanmer Springs and Wakamarina.

This is the first of two parts. It's 13 minutes long, so go and make yourself a coffee (of grab a beer), settle back and soak it up.

I hope you all enjoy {Double Thumbs Up}

Warning: This clip contains large doses of trailriding. It was made to share with the guys on the trip, and for the sake of documenting an epic trip..
As you will know from my previous clips, we're not huckers/freeriders/downhillers. As I've said before, it's more about riding, the trip and the film making...]


[edit] Part Two is now complete too.

Thats an awsome vid man, well done! What track is the one near the start when you have to bike under that stuff? Looks like old school mining track or something yeah?

Definitely - last year we had a blast at Dirt Park - and as you can see we're just ordinary riders. We had heaps of fun building up skills on the learners jumps, but the advanced line is all rollable too. Unfortunately it was snowing when that side was filmed, and the lens on the helmet cam fogged up really badly where the clip stops, so you don't get to see me dropping off the container... {Blush}

That track is at Sticky Forest in Wanaka, I think it's called "Cranking Fine"? It is a year ago now though - so names of tracks are getting a bit hazy! One of the Wanaka locals can correct me if I'm wrong. Was going to label the tracks - but didn't want to mess them up! Think the one with the crash into the tree is called Kooza though...

Epic stuff bro! - on many levels.. V slick editing, nice use of the stills, maps, signs and fog effects! Nice tribute also! I totally remember you droppin the container, although, that may've been after i'd hit the tree so g matter a tad scrambled.. Faded indeed.

Would you believe that's what we just happened to be listening to as we came back down the hill and saw Possum's statue? Kinda freaky.

Oh - and welcome back Malcy!

{Tongue it} To this day I still can't believe I got that on camera!!!! More impressive than the crash was that when I re-watched the tape, there was less than a minute from impact to riding again. Not bad for a fairly solid knock! Sooo looking forward to the next trip now - only 22 more sleeps dude!

Awesome editing and riding, looks like you guys had some fun {Double Thumbs Up}

And what type of helmet cam is that?

It's just a little security bullet cam that plugs into the aux input on your camcorder. Also requires an additional battery.
Similar to these, not exactly those specs though.
