Hi everyone,
for a new movie, my friends and me have been pretty busy the last weeks. Here's now the first teaser of what we did. Make sure to watch in HD. Cheers and enjoy!

Very professional looking and interesting video - makes a change from some of the "Death by Go-Pro" videos folk publish on You Tube :D

I wish I could find an excuse to visit our office in Essen to watch the premiere. I used to work in Hattingen, so know the area well.
 
Thank you all for your nice comments. Really appreciated. :beerjug:
For those of you who might be interested: There was no support crew in cars. Just the three of us, three bikes and all the gear on it. Including this little toy.

The full movie will be in English as well. So no need for a dictionary then ;)

Have a nice evening

This'll be good.:thumb Some good sponsors there as well.:augie:D
 
The whole movie is actually a crowd funded project meaning besides a few known names more than 330 individuals contributed to the realization of "Pyrenean Adventures". They all will be mentioned in the credits of the final movie.

Thank you again for your kind comments.

Cheers

Since you know Essen, you should easily find an excuse ;-)

Bis bald!

Work done!

Hi everyone,
as you know two friends of mine have been working on this road movie project for some month and now that the work is done I'd like to thank all those who've kindly supported us with a little photo gallery.
So lean back and enjoy watching what we've experienced on roads and tracks across the Pyrenees.

We've started our trip at Cabo de Gata, the north-easternmost point of Spain. We're heading along the magnificent coastal road towards France.

From Colera to Portbou

Leaving the coast behind the strange fortresses of the Cathares rise on the crests of the Corbieres-Mountains. The fortresses and the destiny of the Cathares belong to some weired European history. And conspiracy is not far if you read about them. Dan Brown (Sakrileg - The Da Vinci Code) turned the Cathar-story into a bestseller.

Not far from the castles of the Cathars, nature and roadbuilders have united to create a monument of sorts: in the Galamus gorge, the Agly stream has cut itself a babbling bed in the limestone barrier between the mountains of Corbières and the Fenouillet valley.

Col de Puymorens on the way to Andorra offers perfect alpine riding conditions. Superb tarmac, almost no traffic ...

The last rays of sun are breaking over the mountains as we cross Port d'Envalira into Andorra.

From Andorra we take the off-road track to Alins in Spain. That area is still a place for crooks ... and vultures.

Hope you've enjoyed so far.
