Brendan Howey, our most faithful of freeriders, took advantage of some free time to shoot a video at home on the Sunshine Coast in BC. It’s a track he made himself and his friend and well-known videographer Scott Secco was there to document it. Here’s what they had to say...
"The idea for me was to shoot some of my favourite spots at home, here on the Sunshine Coast. We were thrown quite the contrast in weather but I think it worked out in our favour being in and out of the woods. I’m lucky to get to work with a perfectionist like Secco, it shows in every shot and always makes the hiking worth it." - Brendan HOWEY.
"I've known Howey since we were 16 and in that time he's become one of my favourite riders to watch. He's definitely one of those athletes who makes me think 'I wish I could ride a bike like that!' Howey put in some serious shovel time last spring and built a couple step downs, a massive hip, and a few hundred metres of fresh singletrack just for the video. By the time we got around to shooting, it was October. We were treated to several days of perfect autumn light until a storm front rolled in and forced us into the woods. We were left with about half a video worth of sunset footage and some miscellaneous foggy clips. I couldn’t really figure out how to make it all fit in the edit until I realized that the video just needed to be split into two halves musically. Hope you enjoy it!" -Scott SECCO.
