LOCations - Full length film!

Posted: Oct 16, 2009

LOCations - A Free full length film of the up and coming Aptos locals!

About a year of filming and editing to document some of the best local riding at the various spots we have here in Aptos, California! All brought to you for FREE!

More details and full film inside!


Two seasons ago I made my first full length biking film called Sonar. It was the general mountain bike film, with sections of each rider doing bangers. I was and still am very happy with the film, but wanted to do something different for its sequel. Here in the Aptos area, we are lucky to have the option of many dialed places to ride. I decided to format the movie around this, with sections of different locations rather than riders. Because it is all local, or "loc" as we say here, I came up with the name LOCations. With many long days of riding, filming, and editing, I ended up with a 1 hour and 11 minute film containing 14 different locations! I am absolutely STOKED on how it came together, so go ahead, take a break from what you're doing (or whenever you get a chance), click play, and check out the up and coming Aptos area riding scene! Hope you enjoy it! Big Grin

I am really digging the trend of free full length movies available lately. What's Next, the Disorder series live, and now LOCations. Thank you Larock, Freeride Entertainment, and of course Mr. Fogelquist for providing the fruits of your labor free for our enjoyment!

This is true but you can't deny that NorCal has just about every type of riding imaginable and decent enough weather to enjoy it. I guess what Im saying is that you have a hell of a canvas to work with! Enjoy.
