Thanks Chris.

Used a custom Hexto-coptor with a 2-axis brushless motor gimble...buuut gimble self leveler sensor fried just before the flight so we had to immobilize the gimble with zipties to lock it in place!

We used Sony NEX pointing forward and as extra safety since we could'nt change framing mounted a Gopro3 pointing straight down...lucked out with no wind, so the shots came out!

Wow very inspiring. So fantastic. Haha me and my lady just bought 2 cross bikes.
Very nicely shot, I like the details in the beginning especially when she starts to move with the bike.
Cheers!

Some stunning shots in there. As you can clearly see the different camera formats, I think it edited nicely because of the montage.

Yeah, it really is enlightening when you shoot a second angle with a DSLR to the EPIC...you can really see how much of image the DSLR's throw away.

This is pretty funny, We got a pretty scathing review on the film from Outside Magazine:
http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoo...Bull-Threatening-Endurance-Sports.html?page=1

The author completely missed the point of the film. I responded to his article in there comment section (copy and pasted below)

"A Note about the Film's Production:

As mentioned in the article, we were able to shoot very little of the actual record breaking ride. The first reason being that Rebecca explicitly had as little to no distractions and could concentrate solely on her record breaking attempt. The second being that we were a very small crew with limited bandwidth to actually cover the massively sprawling ride itself. As filmmakers, Corey Rich and myself, had to rethink how we could make a compelling video that captured the essence of Rebecca's accomplishment (that was our hope anyway). What you see in the film is that effort.

The following 2 days after her ride, we went back to some of Rebecca’s favorite locations on the trail to film her. It was a great way to show off the beauty and nature of the trail without interfering in anyway with her goal of breaking the record. What you see on film is Rebecca's toughness through and through. Think about just riding 138 miles at max output the day before then having to film the next 2 days (sun up to sundown) of riding, riding, and more riding. She is tough as nails and a complete inspiration. Aaron, your comment about her running is off the mark as well. She is a racer, she ran...she is tougher than you and I.

Your comment about the finish line is comical. Rebecca's ride took place during the Fat Tire Festival in Fruita, CO, the Specialized booth had many signs promoting it and the finish line is in one of the busiest trail heads in the mountain biking world. People were there, I wish there were more...she deserved it.

It seems that you purely just disliked the cinematic style of the film, which I respect, everyone has their own opinion. What really makes me laugh is if you would have seen us in the field, a bare bones crew of just 3 guys with a few cameras and toys trying to do Rebecca's accomplishment justice.

My opinion on your article is that it is purely to stir the pot, to create controversy where there is none and has no clear thesis. You obviously did zero research about the trail, its history and how its racing milestones have been accomplished.
