Members of the famed Go Banana MTB Team today participated in an early morning video shoot for the much anticipated Go Banana Promo Video. The promo video was expected to make the cut off for Sundace but after a few technical setbacks it is now thinking Cannes may be a better release target. To the left is a behind the scenes picture of "Man Down" testing the handlebar mount which was quickly sidelined due to shoddy craftsmanship. With the loss of the handlebar cam the director (Ben Eagan) had to quickly come up with some new shots to fill the void. Luckily the day was saved when an opportunity presented itself for "The Third" to attempt the dangerous and rarely seen "Double Back Axle Face Slide" off a jump on a downhill. What an impressive simultaneous display of bravery and sheer stupidity. Director Ben Eagan was quoted saying such compliments as "What the f*#k was that?" and "Are you sure you're OK?". Other great shots included falling off a rock bridge while trying to stare at the camera, Big Air T-man soaring off an A-frame, and the Go Banana patented move of riding in a line going down a straight flat path. This will be one video worth waiting for the director's cut!
