in pursuit of my dream

 2011 is now in the past, but what a year it was when I was in UK. I've met an incredible group of individuals, whom I consider my friends and I was able to share what I love doing the most. Seeing their determination, passion and love for mountain biking only made me want to pursuit my dream even more.

Sure 2011 wasn't a great year for my camera - 550D. It overheated 3 times in this year, but I was able to capture some of the riding from super friendly riders, such as Ray and Blake Samson, Grant "Chopper" Fielder, Ryan Nangle, Marcel Hunt, Erik Purres.

I've spent a night at Ray and Blake's place to film with them on the Isle of Wight, which is off the mainland. I had an amazing time hanging out, filming some riding.

As well as staying at Samson's, I've had the chance to stay over at Grant's place as well. Filmed a variety of riding from dirt jumping to freeride/downhill and it was super fun.

I went to meet Erik as well, who is an unknown rider in the world, yet he had fun filming and he sure can ride. We drove around some of the spots which are like an hour or 2 away from the town where he lives, had a few laughs, filmed some riding and hiked a lot up and down for sure.

Matt Hoffman said it nicely - "Dream a life, then live the dream". Filming is what I love doing more than anything and I will continue to pursue my dream.

Thanks goes to the riders in this video!

Hope you will enjoy this video!

 Honestly, it was perfect until the song dropped. Probably only 5% of the vids that have a dubstep song in them actually work with the edit/shots...the other 95% only use it because it's intense and "cool". Needless to say, your cinematography and editing skills are amazing. But you need to work on getting the perfect song - one that matches the feel of your shots. In my opinion, a videographer that matches these two elements (along with technical and creative skill) has mastered their craft.

 I think the song does work well for the edit actually. Not spot on, but pretty damn close. People to tend to use too much dubstep these days in edits, but this is a tasteful one. Nice one buddy

 Great edit! When it makes you feel like you just wanna grab your bike and go ride it deserves to be VOD!!!

 didnt want that video to end.. !! :'(

 sick edit dude, it will become VOD for sure, keep on editing and making films that's the most you love to do... and inspire us to pick up our bikes and go riding!
