Video: Dominik Raab - Santa Monica and Venice Beach
Dominik Raab is a street trials and mountain biker from Austria. He found his passion for mountain biking 20 years ago and mountain biking got him into trials biking. After winning the Austrian Trials National Series in 2003, he found his new challenge in working on urban trials videos and touring with trials demos. Dominik made the leap to the professional stage in 2007 and is now touring the globe under the flag of bicycle manufacturer Merida Bikes. He keeps the crowd entertained performing his one-of-a-kind feats, doing trials demos, as well as photo and video shoots. Through the "Dominik Raab Mountain Bike Trials Show", he's an entertainer on two wheels for over 100 days a year, showing off his skills at sporting events and product launches.
After working together on a number of videos in the past, Marcus Gelhard from Zebraworkz (the film's producer and film-maker), and Dominik met up in LA in February almost by chance, and decided to shoot this short piece in and around Santa Monica and Venice Beach, taking advantage of the great light, the great vibe and instantly recognisable location.

That's what Venice is for. Non-californians don't understand.
