Im now on Twitter!

It had to happen really, it was just a matter of time ha

I have been thinking and brain storming on how to really push the marketing coming up to the new 2011 season ( there will be a blog post coming up on that soon )

and as part of that plan, getting more involved in twitter was just one of the things I had to deal with.

Not all that bad now though as I got a posh new phone a few weeks ago so can keep it updated on the go...

anyway go check it out and follow, and tell your friends!

Bryceland and Hart on the 1:04

Right a few weeks ago I said I had been down on the Dirt 1:04 with Danny Hart and Josh Bryceland, anyway after the new issue of the mag came out last week and the video has gone live on Dirts site I can post it up on here...

I was and still am really happy with the vid, after making it was almost thinking one of my best edits yet ( I have since done the Gee Atherton 1:04 video which I thinks better ha )

Anyway link to it on the Dirt site here, or embeded below:

Best of 2010 slideshow

I have been trying to think of good ways to get some more of the 30,000 images ive shot this season out there, getting large numbers of good photos in peoples faces is hard. I have a few ideas for more small run stuff but a slideshow was the best idea for mass viewing of images that where just gathering digital dust on my hard drives.

So set about making this a few days ago, all done now and im real happy with it...

Let me know what you think

Gee Atherton

Gee Atherton came down to Gawton yesterday to do the 1:04...

I was there shooting video, which will go live on the site when the article goes in the mag in a month or so...

Anyway Just a few screen shots from the video and a few photos of Gee chilling out over the day, for riding shots you will have to wait till the magazine...

NASS 2009

Right now I know that title seems a little late, 2 years late almost...

But I have only just found the cheap film camera I took along to NASS festival in 2009.

I thought I had lost it forever and was gutted about it, but a few weeks ago while moving my room around I found it, so took it right down to see what was on it, lots of photos so dark they where useless, but a few good ones, here are a few of the best ones... as far as photographs go kinda shit, but good fun non the less.

So thought it was time to showcase my video work, so set about editing together a showreel.

I got my mate Joe Hayhow to put some motion graphics titles for it together and am really happy with them, they look great and make it that bit much more pro, which is just what you need.

Anyway yeh, all done, about 2 days editing, getting drafts check over by some friends, making changes, totaly reworking it etc but all done now... Check it out and let me know what you think.
