 What: From the Inside Out / Life Cycles

“We live for the pursuit of the unknown. The anticipation of what the future holds. The untapped potential of what lies ahead. The finish line is only a starting point for a new adventure. What happens in between is where the real action is.

This is SecondBase . A joint effort between Anthill Films and the Coastal Crew, whose mission is to document the future of mountain biking as it unfolds in real time. We capture the true lifestyle that intersects our lives as professional mountain bikers and filmmakers, creating films for riders – by riders.”

When: 4.11.2011 | 8.30pm

Where: Schauburg / Dresden / Germany

Tickets: 7,50Euro

There’s a trailer and also an interview with the guys who organize the event on banq.de for all you german speaking people.

Well, the famous TV series Hawaii Five-O is back with a new young and hip cast, all filmed in Hawaii. The show premier was at an event called “sunset on the beach” where a big screen is set up on Waikiki beach and people can put out mats, bring snacks and watch for free.

Waikiki was more crowded than usual, with people trying to see the show’s stars and get good spots for viewing

We created another bike tree of locking mayhem

Hawaii Five-O will be showing nationally next week.. watch it!

Cheers Michael Keany for the photos!

Last night, our friends at AlohaFixed set up a Honolulu premier of Tokyo to Osaka.

Though it was a short film, it was rather enjoyable. Michael Keany caught me watching the epic journey:

Hipster locking overload:

It was pretty awesome to see the bike racks and trees completely full of colour and wheels on this block!

These guys are nuts!

Two weeks ago I went to Dresden to visit some friends but also to see the Dresden premiere of the FIXED CITY movie. The evening was organized by the veloheld crew who had also setup a monopoly alley cat prior to the viewing.
A big crowd showed up, awesome location, lots of bikes, party afterwards.  e r t z u i ° film shot a nice summary of the whole night:

Just a quick edit of the FXC premiere @ Dresden.

..what a race, what a night! Big ups to the Dresden crew!

TopSpeed: 96,29 km/h – 235 rpm

Toronto finally gets some bike porn action! this Sunday, @ Cinecycle. I think the tour is just about wrapping up, but to check if it’ll be coming to a town near you, check the website

Aimed at capturing the lifestyle of female riders in the testosterone-ridden world of mountain biking, the makers of a new film, Awesome Land: Women of Dirt, hope to shed light on what drives these women athletes.

“The inspiration for Women Of Dirt starts first with the women who make up an important part of our sport and yet get overlooked,” said film producer Mark Brent. “We felt that our lifestyle gets overlooked, and that the women in our sport get overlooked. By focusing on two elements that we don’t see in DVDs, we are telling a story that hasn’t been told.”
