Finally, it's done! At a quick glance you wouldn't think a 2 hour DVD would take very long to make. That's how I initially approached this project. Ten months later I wasn't even close to completing it. Factor in weather, road conditions, schedule conflicts with riders, and mechanical issues, things always take longer.

A year later and countless hours invested, we are very very pleased to announce the release of this DVD.

Here's a review from Doug, a very satisfied customer:

If I had to describe it in three words:

Polished, unbelievably polished!!

One of the things I liked best about Tarantino's Kill Bill volumes is how he completely changed styles every few minutes-color, b/w, anime, flash forward, flash back, disjointed story, etc. You were changing styles/views/approaches every 15 seconds or so it seemed.  You ramed your pictures like a painter.  The editing was masterful.  Poetic at times.  I loved the image of the soaring hawk.  How often do people stop to look at that?  You sure did and used it to great effect.

If that DVD “King of the Streets” showed you what it was like to go at top speed and feel like you were going 180 plus miles an hour, your movie showed you what it was like to ride the curves.  Almost like virtual reality it seemed to be so realistic.

Cinema Verite at its finest.

I am probably the only human alive who will ever compare your movie with "Winged Migration".  This was a 90 minute movie about birds and bird migration that was a hit and even played at the multi-plexes for weeks on end.  I am not making this up.  I paid to see it in the theater three times and took two of my friends to see it.  People fell in love with it because the quality of the camera work was something you had never seen in your whole life.  I feel the same about your movie.  If you really don't have a story, your camera and editing skills had better be off-the-charts good and yours sure were, just like in that movie. 

The only thing that could have made it seem more real would have been to have bug guts mysteriously and suddenly appear out of every viewer's  TV screen.

Way to go and keep up the great work!!

 

What's This About? Beauty. Scenery. Southern California. Our goal was to make a video that shows the beauty of Southern California. More Specifically, the San Diego area. We aren't the fastest riders in the area and we don't have perfect lines. That's not the purpose. The purpose is to show everyone how beautiful this area is. Whether you ride a sport bike or a Harley, whether you live in this area or not, you'll enjoy this video.

What's Inside? We featured four roads in this volume. If you come to San Diego and ride, this makes for a perfect day. We started with Old Julian Hwy, just outside of Ramona, CA. Then moved on to Mesa Grande, then the East Grade of Mt. Palomar, and finally the South Grade. You get a 35 minute movie that shows the beauty that is particular to each of these roads. Total running time: 1:58.

Special Features But wait, there's more! You also get the non-stop 'ride through' view from onboard the bike. Unedited. You get to see every turn of each of these roads, from beginning to end. We aren't speed demons, and we are far from perfect, but you'll enjoy the ride, just like you were there.

Unique to this Video We are very proud to present this section. Never seen before in any motorcycle video, we take you to the air. You get to see each of the roads from a 'birds-eye-view'. We strap the camera onto an airplane and fly these roads. You get to see each turn and all of the surrounding scenery. This view shows you the amazing beauty of Southern California.
