I m glad we get to see ordinary people riding their bikes and not just pro riders. I appreciate more this kind of VOD then those of the pro s .Just because you see your self in this kind of riding. I m sick of this world wanting to see just beautiful people , good riders, impressive stuff. I want to see more main reality ,reality which is not NWD, Earthed,etc..

SpikeX (Nov 26, 2009 at 1:55)

Thank you! Really appreciate it - I'll definately be working on some much better stuff in the future. That's sort of the aim of OverDrive, to capture us kids riding and our different points of view on the sport compared to The Collective / NWD, etc.

this is well filmed and edited, definately a sick vid. could be better with a few more panning or dolly shots to make it more pro. fair play tho, you guys are good for how young you are, no doubt your filming and riding will improve over time. keep her going guys...

SpikeX (Oct 9, 2009 at 1:31)

Thanks for the comment! It's always nice to hear things like that and it makes us even more determined to improve with each video. I appreciate it!

if only two 15-year old kids were behind this, I'd say thats a lot of effort and skill...definitely VOD

SpikeX (Nov 26, 2009 at 1:55)

Thank you!

SwickedV (Nov 26, 2009 at 4:24)

i wouldnt say i put a lot of effort in
Felix (spikex) did all the editing...
all i did was do what i enjoy

...THANX PEOPLE!

SpikeX (Nov 26, 2009 at 4:33)

I really wish we could do it again...We had so much fun and I know we can make something awesome with the new equipment and experience in both riding and filming. Hope we can go again sometime...

Cool vid really liked the ghost walking back up with the rider coming back down and then the three jumps just after, really well edited!

Internetbiker (Oct 4, 2009 at 3:37)

Great vid, real jealous of them trails and terrain you have round there! What editing software did you use?

SpikeX (Oct 4, 2009 at 4:24)

Thank you! The trails are great, unfortunately I don't live anywhere near there, which is a real shame. I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4 for editing.

G-SpotDavid (Nov 26, 2009 at 1:30)

purchased legally of course? Razz

SpikeX (Nov 26, 2009 at 1:54)

Yup, I bought the whole CS4 Master Collection Suite for $3,000.

Internetbiker (Nov 26, 2009 at 3:31)

Nice it made VOD good work!

david-hill (Nov 26, 2009 at 7:50)

holymotherofbikegods! $3,000! I spent £50 on some pretty nice video editing software, and i thought that was a bit silly.

SpikeX (Nov 26, 2009 at 21:37)

It's really expensive, but that suite is pretty much the industry standard and it's 20 pieces of software in one.

david-hill (Nov 27, 2009 at 8:00)

Yeah i can see your point, it is the best software out there basically. but how in the name of hell didi you afford $3,000!?

DownhillDomination (Jun 16, 2010 at 16:16)

Hahaha, funny that this got VOD Felix, would need to produce something 20 times better than this to get VOD now-a-days! Funny how things can change so drasticaly within a year!

SpikeX (Jun 17, 2010 at 7:01)

I can't help but wonder why you posted that? Oh well, at least it made VOD and got me some exposure back then...

[Reply]

tom-cuthbert (Nov 26, 2009 at 2:21)

Awesome, great work guys. I know how hard it it is to make a decent film with only 2 people and it really is. You guys pulled it off well. VOD for sure.

SpikeX (Nov 26, 2009 at 2:54)

Most of this was actually self-filmed. There are only about 3 shots where there were two of us in this video. Unfortunately my friend couldn't make it to Switzerland this year.

marko77 (Nov 26, 2009 at 10:00)

you guys definitely are on your way up, some pretty nice editing and riding, i'd like to see what your producing in a few years, keep it up

only 6 faves since the 2nd of october and the riding wasn't great either not saying i could do much better but not really VOD worthy in my opinion.

flymore (Nov 26, 2009 at 0:13)

they r 15 and doing it all... give them a break Smile

... nice work by the way

Bollywoggle (Nov 26, 2009 at 2:22)

just because their 15 doesnt mean that any video they do that is slightly good can be vod. bit of a letdown

flymore (Nov 26, 2009 at 4:15)

AMBikerJJ8 (Oct 3, 2009 at 10:09)

What camera?

SpikeX (Oct 3, 2009 at 18:07)

A Sony HDR-SR12

Poore (Nov 26, 2009 at 20:36)

That seems like a great low priced HD camera.

SpikeX (Nov 26, 2009 at 21:36)

It was about $1,800 2 years ago. It's a great camera, but I'm looking for something more advanced with more manual controls and better image quality.

SpikeX (Nov 26, 2009 at 22:25)

Thanks for the comments on the editing! I actually enjoy editing almost as much as filming. Sorry about the shaky shots.
