Chris Seager's South East Diaries Episodes 1 & 2

May 12, 2010
by Chris Seager  
Local riding mainly around the south east of the UK. Monthly episodes to show all the local happenings from my neck of the woods. Featuring south east riders and mostly south east riding spots.

After being injured for more than a year I decided I had to get back into biking somehow as I missed it too much. I decided that I'd produce my own monthly webisodes to get back into the biking scene. Next thing I did was nag everyone when they were riding and went out and filmed.

Videos inside,Webisode 1 started off at Swinley Forest which is a local track about 30 minutes away. Tom, Chris and Paul all came out looking pretty fly in full Troy Lee pyjamas. Everyone suggested tracks to film and did run after run for the camera.

Part 2 was at 4a trails, built by my friends Ryan, Tim, Craig, Joe and many more. Lots of work has gone into the jumps and they look ready to go for summer. Lots of building went on that day to finish out lips and landings, but still everyone managed to ride for some filming.

Cwmcarn was the next destination as loads of friends all booked an uplift day. Nice early wake up at 6:30am and then a 2 and a bit hour drive we were finally their. Weather was great so the tracks were running super quick! Despite booking an uplift many riders such as Sam, Tom P, Jack and Tom H stayed back and sessioned bits for the camera.

Episode 2 Started off at some secret tracks down in the south, went down with Tom Hughes and met everyone else there. Everyone was absolutely pining it during the day , so I got some great footage of it!

Guildford Skatepark was more of a last minute thing as episode 2 was starting to look a bit short with just Surrey hills and "South Side". I rung up a few people and ended up going down for an evening session with Damian and Jack, both of them sessioned the park until I got the shots I wanted.

Part 3 was at the Surrey hills, where I now spend most of my time riding due to the wicked single track. Jack and Tom went up on their all mountain bikes and did some filming all around the area, even getting a few scenic shots in.
