Fascinated - Trailer!

Low Budget, Bike Movie Made in Switzerland!

For the 2009 season, the Stützrädli Crew (which means training wheels in German) planned something special. A low budget bike movie from Switzerland called "Fascinated". We just released our trailer, so have a look at it!

Details and trailer inside,

Ever heard of Switzerland? Nooo, not Sweden, Switzerland! Where everyone is eating cheese and chocolate all day long. Maybe that's not exactly the truth, sometimes we also go out for a bike ride! I'm actually talking about the country in the middle of Europe, in the heart of the alps! That's the main location of our upcoming movie, Fascinated. An absolutely epic and for freeride movies, nearly unexplored country, compared to all the awesome and well-known stuff in Canada. For some of you, it might be the first time you ever see these spots on the internet.


The name Fascinated already shows you the main idea for our movie. We wanted to bring you our fascination for the mountain bike sport a little bit closer. The movie is kind of a season review of all activities our crew and all the buddies around here did, during this 2009 riding year.


The plan was to do an authentic bike movie, with awesome scenery and some local Swiss riders who do their best to show you their fascination for the sport. Our movie is also about riding together, having fun and pushing ourselves.


The film is actually filmed and edited by the riders themselves. The whole movie will be available by the end of the Winter and the best thing: It's for free!


Also check out the list of riders (even though I'm pretty sure you don't know a single name from it):

Andreas Halter
Philipp Bont
Simon Bühler
Linus Büsser
Giovanni Iannelli
Daniel Feucht
Andreas Ba
Raphael Müller
Dominik Suter
Pascal Krieger
Aaron Kornmayer
Christof Heimgartner
Martin Kägi
Andoni Lopez

I would also like to thank our sponsors: Dakine, P.O.C and Stützrädli.ch whom all supported us with their products this season!

Ride on!

 Very nice trailer but the music sucks. By "sucks" I mean this is probably the worst music ever played in a Bikevid.

 haha Big Grin I knew that not everyone will like this song Wink Even though the song is quite mainstream, it's quite experimental to put it in a bikemovie, instead of some punk, methal or hip hop stuff Smile.

we took it because it fits good to our message we want to communicate with this movie. the song has some kind of good vibrations and took us in a good mood, it shows how we feel when we are riding bikes Smile

anyway. the song won't be in the movie anymore, we have chosen some "better" stuff Wink

 Must have been a plug for his sister's band... no other excuse for the song selection. That song belongs in an 80's chick flick.

 Althought the song wasn't the greatest it was a nice change from the angry,angst ridden punk crap on most videos. Amazing riding and terrain over there. Well done.

 I really dont know why but i think i like the song, good to hear something different!

The riding really is sweet, that first feture over the rock sets the tone for the whole vid - nice one!
