Video: Spectrum - Pixel Innovation
Part of a project set up by Dirt Magazine & XS Energy Drink came Run to the Hills. A photography competition that set 4 teams of rider against each other in the battle for pixel podium. Saracen Bikes which consisted of 4 world class riders, Manon Carpenter, Sam Dale, Matt Jones & Blake Samson teamed up with photographer Laurence Crossman-Emms and set out to capture the best of the UK's trails in 5 days of action, flashes and lots of colours. With time tight and a jam packed week in store, it wasn't easy, finishing up with a gruelling 24hrs of editing to present the final piece at the Dirt HQ in Monmoth for the judging.
Team Saracen came away with the win and bagged them self the cover of Dirt Magazine.
