Edsel Dilag Fixed Gear Pictures

Mittwoch, April 8th, 2009

For the filming of the fixed gear movie “Human Traffic” we had Edsel Dilag come along with a nice Canon 5D and do some great shots. I made a small webalbum with some of his pictures. Here are a few:

And it is amazing how much the mind can influence our abilities: I can track stand forever. But trying to track stand on a wooden beam with the ocean water below didn’t work till I moved further back to see enough of the beam in front of me. And still then I could only track stand for a short while. Just because I knew that there was a possibility of me falling into the water with Clancy’s bike.

For the fixed gear movie shoot we went up to Twin Peaks. It was a spectacular view. More pictures.

Then we did drive over to Oakland for continued filming.

My friends Andrew and Chris stopped by for some “interesting” chicken and waffles. Then we went out for some more fixed gear filming but we did not get to have any nice sunset due to the clouds.
