Last weekend I went out to watch a friend race in the Gran Prix of Gloucester cyclocross race. I decided to bring my EX-1 and film the event. Lots of bikes, colorful jerseys, some beers in the beer garden, all made for a great day of filming.

You can read more about filming the event on my blog at:

    Amazing video! I watched this and instantly wanted to go ride! Maybe Queen had something to do with that too...You really captured the pure fun a cross race is though! You always see these epic video's of the suffering, but this was so lighthearted, very nice change of pace!

    Thanks Ryan. I definitely saw less pain and suffering in the riders than expected. Maybe it was because they raced the previous day in a downpour so it was nice conditions to ride in. I loved filming it, and definitely could get into riding these events.

    Great video! Some overcranked footage of remounts would be awesome, too.

    Thanks for watching. Interesting didn't even think of that, although I know I have plenty of footage of remounts. As a non-cyclocross cyclist it hadn't even occurred to me.

    great footage benjamin. doesn't take an expert to see that you have an eye for this.

    I assure you everyone was suffering.

    yup. I was in the field that you recorded right before they started to race.

    thanks for putting this together.

    Excellent video. A lot warmer & drier than our usual mud-plugging cyclocross here in the UK! You might like our own cycle racing film too: vimeo.com/5291158
