Barred For Life 2 - Full Teaser
"Barred For Life 2" is finally complete
It's been one hell of a haul bringing this project to life. Our original kick at the can started back in 2010, but having been plagued with some horrific athlete injuries, rehabilitation time and busy athlete schedules, we decided to pull the plug on the original start. It was a tough call having to scrap all the footage we had at the time, but we didn't want to be pumping out 4 year old footage as the end result. Through this process, we had to sort out whether to cut our losses and walk away. Seeing as this was a major setback with our time frame and funds for the project at the time.
After months of pondering over the thought of not moving forward with the project, we came to the conclusion that we couldn't let out friends down, as everyone worked so hard on their sections. So we reorganized and basically hit the road over the past two years, to bring the project to life. We just hope we did our part in showcasing these crazy guys in the best way possible.
We won't be having an online premiere of the film, but wanted to really give everyone a feel for the film with the extra long teaser that we've put together. We hope that you've enjoyed the teaser and stay tuned for film sale information coming soon.

Luke Strobel -
 |
| The making of Luke Strobel's section, was one of the most fun sections to film. From a total of 10 zip lines we set up to capture his fast and stylish riding, and then off to a few sessions at the local go-cart track, who would be complaining. Luke also happened to know a couple great brew pubs to check out during our downtime in the evenings. |

Greg Watts -
 |
| Of course there is Greg Watts, a major part of this film. Greg threw down for this movie and absolutely killed it in his section. Not only is he one of the hardest working and most determined athletes in the sport, from shredding as hard as he does in front of the camera and the sheer determination to perform his best all the time, is truly inspiring. |
Greg unfortunately had a horrible crash during the filming of his section, resulting in two broken vertebra "T-1 and C-3". This was one of the hardest things we have had to deal with, since we first started making films. Coming to terms that a good friend was badly injured while throwing down for your camera at the time, definitely hits home and is something you hoped would never happen. We are just glad Watts made a full recovery and is more focused then ever for next season. In the meantime, you can be sure his section won't disappoint.
There is one hell of a story that unfolded from Tehachapi to the Bakersfield hospital, CA, that we will save for an upcoming article.

| Throwing down in the thickest fog we have ever seen. We battled with this fog for three days until it let up. We were to the point where we almost had to call the shoot due to how bad the visibility was. Photo:Bjorn Aunet |

| Great times filming his section over in France. Nothing but full on big bike shredding for this guy and he even busted out the flips for the helicopter. |
