2011 General GNCC – Round 02

2010 Pirelli Big Buck GNCC Recap

The past week and a half has been pretty crazy. Not only because I’ve been pretty busy but I waded myself up on the dirt bike when I went out riding with the guys over at FTI Racing. I tried to jump a creek, failing miserably, and ended up breaking my collarbone.That little mishap happened on April 3rd.

Later on the following week I went to visit a orthopedic doctor and found out I would need surgery for the bone to heal correctly. They wanted to do the surgery as soon as possible as it would get more difficult as the bone healed. We opted to have the surgery this past Monday as I had obligations on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday’s obligation was to head down to Union, SC and film some of the GNCC race going on. I’ve been doing this at every stop so far and posting the videos on offroadjunkies.com. Filming the race was a pain in the ass as I had to carry around the tripod and camera as I tried to get various spots shot of the race. Not the easiest thing I’ve had to do but I’m glad I pushed through the discomfort. The video I edited is good but definitely not one of my favorites but what can you do. Not every one of them can be a home run.

Here is the recap video of the 2010 Pirelli Big Buck GNCC. Enjoy.

Dirt Scootin’ Boogie DVD Preview

Last August Charkie Huegel, Jared Bolton, and myself thought it would be a cool idea to film some off-road motocross riders and put together a DVD. Even though I should have known better, we thought we would organize a ride day in Oil City, PA with a few guys and we would have enough footage. I can’t exactly tell you what I was puffing on but that wasn’t the case. We made it around the wooded area of Venus, PA for about 8 hours and ended up with about 40 minutes of footage, edited down about 5 minutes. We still needed about 40-45 minutes worth of footage for a good off-road DVD.

I’ve been spending my time since then getting together with riders and attending races gathering footage for the project. I’m not quite done with filming but I have things in the pipeline and will be finished with filming soon.

The title of the upcoming DVD, being released through my production company Scratch N Sniff Productions, is Dirt Scootin’ Boogie. It will feature off-road riders Charkie Huegel, Mark Fortner, Chris Buzzelli, and others to be named at a later date. The release is scheduled for April 2010, hopefully for mid-April.

I put together a 3 minute preview of the DVD. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Battle of Atlanta 8 Hour Team Race

This past weekend I headed down to Social Circle, GA to shoot video of the 8 hour team race that was being held down there. I rode down with Charkie Huegel and Mark Fortner who were going to be racing in the pro class, as Team Goon Hammer.

The race itself had some awesome obstacles you don’t see very often. Besides the cold weather, I had a great time.

Jason Hooper over at digitaloffroad.com posted the video I edited of the weekend. Check out the link or the video embedded here:

2009 AMA Endurocross – Florence, SC

Long time no update! How are you guys doing? Cool…Coool…oh my god you’re boring me. Let’s talk about something a little more interesting…like me!

It’s been quite a while since I’ve made any updates and I won’t go into filling in the blanks right now. I wanted to share with you guys a video I put together from this past weekend’s Endurocross race down in Florence, SC. The race was Round 3 of the AMA Endurocross series. I’ve been spending this summer filming motocross riders from around this area for a TV I’m putting together. One of those riders is Charkie Huegel. He invited me to join him for his first attempt at the EX series. I got some great footage and made a short little video.

Check it out!

Whoa There

It feels like it’s been forever since the site has even crossed my mine. I was browsing around on Amazon.com just a minute ago and the SRR blog popped into my head. I thought I was brush off the dust and make a quick and pointless post.

Nothing much going on with me. I’m still trying to kickstart some things with myself and figure out my own workflow for getting things done. It’s coming along slowly but that’s better than nothing. I picked up a Moleskin and started keeping a To-Do list of the simplest things. You know like “Wipe butt after going #2″ or “Remember to pee in the shower while water is running”. Nothing is more embarassing than your wife wondering why there’s dried yellow spots in the bath tube. The list has been going awesome! Totally awesome.

What else? What else?

In early March I went to the orientation meeting for Raleigh’s public access station, RTN. I met this guy Tony there who’s in the process of trying to get some comic and animations off the ground. I told him about some of the stuff I’ve done and we hit it off. We’re now working on some projects together, one of them being a short horror film called Mary. I’ll definitely be posting more about the stuff we’re doing. But that’s pretty much it for now.

There are a few other things I want to post about but think they all deserve their own posts. I’ll get around to those soon…maybe sometime this year. Hopefully. Some of the things I want to post about: Atlanta Supercross, Jax Supercross, Canon XH-1A, Suzuki RM-250 Project, Editing, Shooting Guns, Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy (Yes it is).

Something to look forward to.
