Video: Micayla Gatto Rides in India in 'Perspectives'

Perspectives // India featuring Micayla Gatto

Everyone views the world differently. As an artist and professional mountain biker, Micayla Gatto finds inspiration in her surroundings, be it at home in British Columbia, Canada or somewhere as distant as India. The chaotic cities, the surreal mountains, the kind people; each provide a beautiful and unique experience. On her journey to ride in the Himalaya, the unfamiliar environment is amplified with every pedal-stroke, taking her further into the unknown, closer to connection and toward the realization that perspective is everything.

 That was amazing, it was shot so well. One of the better videos that's been posted on here.

 Great video - really enjoyed that it wasn't over-produced and let the viewer get whatever they wanted out of the video instead of having a narrator.

I've gone to India quite a few times for work, but sadly only in the south central area (Hyderabad) which doesn't have scenery like this. Very fun experiencing the culture and the food though, as well as seeing the whole country transformed in the last 20 years.

 I thought others were blowing smoke about how good this video is. Fully admit I was wrong. The entire production is hands down one of the best videos I’ve seen on this site. In a sea of videos about blowing up berms, tail whips, hard beats and brews; this video stands out as different.
Concept-awesome!
Production-outstanding!
Cinematography-beautiful!

Great job to everyone involved.

 Enjoyed that, stunning visuals, not sure why anyone would have to find anything negative to say about it, unless it's just to troll the comments section.

 Absolutely amazing! And without a single American gray-haired NIMBY hiker screaming at how a human powered mountain biker is creating global warming or ruining trails!
