Alex Bond teaser for Locals2

This is the official launch and announcement that Locals2 is born!

Last off season I made Locals , it went down really well and got over 50k views for the whole half hour main feature and another 30k for the trailer...and it only had my mates from Debom in...

Locals2 is a step up in every way, I really wanted I would want to watch even if I lived on the other side of the world, so I have got some of the top riders in the world, along side some More unknown pinners from Danny Hart right through to Josh Bryceland and Al Bond to name but a few...

Check out the teaser for Bonds section below:

But here are a few of my fav shots from the week up in Wales shooting with Bond and bit about them...

This is Als House! and yes that is a caravan haha For someone so dedicated to racing and training he lives in a pretty wild place. Like putting half your living room and a bed in the middle of a rickety old barn haha

Joe Smith also came along to the shoot for a few days, the film for the most part is riders in pairs. Riding with their friends and just having fun, and these 2 ride a lot together.

This log was a great feature to shoot, but Joe deffo made it look the best, the photo of what happened when I asked Al to try and scrub off it will never leave my computer for the sake of his reputation as a good bike rider haha

Right this is probs one of the most epic places we could have picked to shoot photos, I said to him I wanted to shoot some epic shots with some great landscapes in, they don't really need a track just need you riding a bike somewhere rad, he took me here. It was raining, cold and hard to ride but fuck, it looks good doesn't it?

Another shot from the water fall, this is more of a riders one. Love the tones, the epic landscape and the riding looks good as well...

Al carving up some loamy tracks on Bala at the new revolution bike park. great morning light and a good willing rider make for some great shooting.

Another one of those spots that doesn't really have a track, there are some on this hill thought just dropping off the back of the hill behind where I'm stood with the camera. But being there at sunset we just had to shoot some photos..." ride through that puddle and wheely drop off in to those slick minging rocks over and over again yeah?" "OK "

Sam hill as the shot above, nice portrait of Al looking out over Wales after a flat out 3 days solid shooting, the day after this was the final of the BDS where he would win by 3 seconds on a 1:30 track and take the BDS 2011 over all... 

So yeah, that was the first look at Locals2, should be good, cant wait to get some More stuff filmed, so far we have Bonds section all filmed, and most of Josh and Sam's done, but going up for another day shooting with them next week and also shoot with the wild man himself Adam Brayton...

More news when I have it.
