Video: Team Oak Bay Bicycles - Lavan 2012

by Brian Park
Jan 6, 2012

Oak Bay Bicycles and Lavan Apparel are excited to announce Team Oak Bay Bicycles - Lavan for 2012. The team includes Jarrett Moore, Joe Esnouf, Travis Bilton, Sam Sedun, Brandi Simmons, Andrew Sherry, & Scott Wink Grant. They'll be mentored by Geoff Pendrel, who co-owns the Oak Bay Bicycles Westshore store and is the Canadian National DH Team coach. As a diverse group of riders they will be attending a variety of events, from the local Island Cup DH series and the Jumpship dirt jump competition in Victoria to international Slopestyle and Enduro events.

To get things started right, we shot a little promo video of Jarrett Moore and Joe Esnouf shredding some local trails. The weather, bikes and cameras all came together and we had a great time shooting this. Hope you enjoy it!

 Sometimes when I'm alone i glue my thumbs to my nipples and pretend I'm a T-rex Native



The problem is removing my thumbs from my nipples

 Yep, unfortunately it was supposed to be just a test run to get the timing of the cable cam down and Jarrett decided to just giv'er. Ya can't win em all.

 I suppose he won by getting out alive from a "Life ender" crash.

 There was definitely a crash. He overshot the landing by a lot and landed on the back side of the following berm before stacking it into the ground to avoid going over the edge of a nasty boulderfield. Wish I'd caught it.

 Very awesome. Great combination of story telling, riding and cinematography. Not just a another pure riding video. Great camera work and color grading too. It had great flow and I was interested the whole time. I'm impressed.

 Thanks! I'm big on sticking mostly to riding, so it's nice to hear that my foray into being a little more story focused worked out.
