Straight Outta Bavaria II - Video
The free state Bavaria, infinite wide. We write 2017. These are the adventures of the Oxensepp which is on the move with his Alutech Sennes 2.0 constantly to investigate foreign tracks, new lines, and fresh beers. Many highway kilometers away from the Weißwurstäquator, he penetrates in his Ledernen into the bike parks who've never seen such a Züpfeklotscha before.
Last year’s "Straight Outta Bavaria" by Siegi Zellner was among the funniest bike park edits which found their way on to the internet. In 2017, his adventure goes on and now it is going big: Zellner a.k.a. Oxnsepp has grabbed Austrian film-maker, Björn Hunger and pushed him into his van. The two of them have refined the original story until they were ready to release the worthy sequel.
 | This film is an ode to my homeland, the Free State of Bavaria. Yes, I am not from Germany, but from the wonderful Bavaria – that’s how it is. The first part in 2016 happened kind of accidentally with a GoPro, now we went much further with a comprehensive video project for the second part, which is my first professional production. We put a lot of effort and love for detail in it and hope that bike fans and even more many people burst into laughter! |
Siegi's outfit was a special challenge during the process of filming: lederhosen, shirt, and woolen socks may look fancy, but they are unsuitable for going downhill on a bike as flip-flops and Bermuda shorts would be. The oppressive and adhesive leather pants and the non-breathing-active costume shirt demanded a lot from the Bavarian rider. The perfect matching song, "Oxnsepp" from the Bavarian Rapper, BBOU was the best imaginable start for the production of Straight outta Bavaria.
| I was impressed by how many ideas Siegi had already collected when we sat down together to talk about this project. We were on the same page from day one and the both of us were meticulous to achieve the best. Those five days in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis and Schladming were a blast and I am sure that this was not the last chapter Oxnsepp’s story. |
Siegi Zellner: A real Bavarian mountain bike kid who's 22 years old. The Oxensepp licked blood in XC and then switched to downhill. His uncompromising style on the bike and his amusing videos are definitely irreplaceable in the German downhill gravity scene.
Björn Hunger: A truly talented 19-year-old kid from Austria who does filmmaking with such a passion and love. The magical Björn films kind of everything that's fun, cool or provides luminous betrayers eyes.
