Those guys are some hard charging, hard partying Canucks!! Great film...

I love the trails they've built. It's cool they've used biking as a way to stay close despite one being a 'hippy' and the other being a 'redneck'. ;)

Cheers,

I have rode with both these guys time and time again. Both are great guys on and off the bike. Good story and a good lil film. Makes me think of my bro and I. In ways we were the same way as Rick & Chris as we both rode and built trails. Now he is married and hasnt rode in yrs. lol

Mods: is this video on the same server as the BB? Something is killing the BB server today. I've never seen it this slow.

Yep. We're working on a solution so this doesn't happen again. But we also like to post high quality files so it's a trade off.

Thanks Cam. Much faster now. Guess everyone's in bed.

Great work Syd!

Really refreshing edit and content. Keep it up. If your first short film is this good I'm sure you have a bright future.

I feel a roadtrip to Gold River is in order. I've heard how great the trails since 04. It has been years since I have been up to Gold River but I do remember the wicked drive.

once the weather gets better we have a bunch of comox valley riders wanting to make the road trip to gold. The scenery around there is as amazing as the riding.

I am in as well. I was up there around six years ago and the riding was wicked. Chris and Rick are a couple of good guys that like to ride bikes and make good trails. I never got a chance to make it out there even when I lived in C.R last summer but soon I will.

I enjoyed it, production quality was good. Kind of a melancholy tone to the movie. When bros talk about one another.

That was a great short film.

Makes me want to get out and ride.

That was super sad. That film really hit me, and it didn't make me want to ride, it made me feel like I really really have to ride. I should be calling up my brother and planning a ride right now, even though he lives eight hours away. I see my brother a couple times a year, and we always ride. It's gonna really really suck when one or the other of us gets too old too ride, even though I'm sure that won't be at least another twenty years. Twenty more years is not long enough.
Here's to riding.
