very very clean edit, good job. Very Australian feel to it with the yellow/orange tone. Riding into that pipe was so awesome!

Oh my god, you finnished it! Nice work.

Thanx, after riding, crashing and re-crashing many times we are also pleased that it is finished.

We would have completed it a couple of months ago, but a busted collarbone threw things in a spin as well as the fact one of our riding buddies was doing a jump over the skatepark fun box, when a little grommet was tailing him on one of those really small BMX (16") bikes and as such when he went up, the grommet somehow rode straight under him in the same spot he was suppose to land, and the result was a fractured skull which put him in hospital for awhile and stuffed up filming schedules etc.

Cheers, right from the start we wanted the film to have that ozzie feel and theme and i am pleased you felt that way, that was our hope and intention as 99% of stuff we see is very USA/Canada etc.


The pipe scene actualy led us into the Stormwater Drains which gave us some very unique riding spots in Tamworth.

The digeridoo (sp?) and the blazing heat effect also gives it that extra Aussie feeling. It looks really good, now I want to see the whole thing!

Awsome video....i love it how you use the orange tone effect to make it look aussie, great work in editing it and that...can't wait to see the whole video!!

Hi nofearnick7, the heat haze is actually the real thing, One of our riders use to come home from work everyday and as he did he would look at these trains which are pretty much not used and think to himeslf if he was able to ride from one roof to the next jumping carridges as he made his way down the line, so on a friggin super hot day, we headed out and shot the footage.

When we got home and viewed the footage, we were reminded of how hot it was on top of the trains by the heat haze we saw and were pleased as it looks better than trying to get the effect artifically so too speak.

He ended up jumping over 10 train gaps and after about 4 or 5 rides, he called it, because riding or slipping off the side of these trains would leave anyone in a mess as its a long way down.

Can i also just mention the digeridoo playing soundtrack which was donated for our film and was created and played by well know Didg muso : Kristian Benton from Coffs as it really is one of the things that gives us that aussie feel.

Gidday big rozy, not a stupid question at all.

Its representative of the logo of our riding group and the logo letters (old English Font) are BRC = Billy Rock Crew which evolved from the name of the Mountain (Billyrock Mountain) where we made our first Downhill / freeride film in 2005 and sort of stuck.

Mick who had the tat done for our film is one hard core rider in our city and as such wanted to show his commitment to the crew with this Tat.

Cheers...
