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!
