Video: Glenn King's Self-Shot Freeride Edit, 'Me, Myself & I'

Dec 15, 2021
by Lama Cycles  

Glenn's latest video 'Me, Myself and I' is an entirely self-produced, filmed, and edited video that explores what's possible when you wander into the forest with your bike, camera, tripod, and a vision.

bigquotesMost of my fundamental tricks were learned and perfected riding alone and filming myself. I would spend hours filming the same jump, doing the same trick, and analyzing each attempt.

Many years later and I've grown to love filmmaking as a whole and not just as a tool to help perfect my tricks. After many years of making videos with the help of others, I thought it could be fun to re-visit the idea of creating a video that pushes my riding and creativity, entirely on my own.

Hike in, warm up, find an angle, set up the camera, press record, run up the hill, drop-in, check the clip, and repeat as necessary until you have enough footage for a video.

bigquotesI think it was about halfway through my first day of shooting I realized just how much work this project was going to take. I'm super happy with what I was able to create but It's safe to say I won't be taking on another self-filmed project for the foreseeable future.Glenn King

 “ I'm super happy with what I was able to create but It's safe to say I won't be taking on another self-filmed project for the foreseeable future.” oh but you will! Give it some time off to just ride and dig. With all those skills you’ll be back making another edit before long, it’s addicting. Sick video, nice work!

 It's looking ok but why didn't he play the music as well? It looks so weird in the credits that someone else did the music...
