10/11 - Mick makes his commitment and get's the BRC Logo Tattoo
Mick organised with an artist friend of his to Tattoo the BRC logo on his arm which Mick has wanted for awhile and as such after 1 hr and 10 mins of work, the BRC Logo was completed with Mick being very pleased with the result. We made sure that we had our camera and filming gear on hand to film MIck getting his Tat, as we feel it will make for interesting footage for our film. Click here for more pics!

We will again be heading out filming this week to capture a few shots which are needed to link up some of the footage we have for our film and as such do not want to be in a position when we are editing to re-shoot any stuff we feel we need to work on some sequences.

"Editing".
The editing of our film will take approximatly 4 weeks.

Most of the Billyrock Crew headed out to our own little piece of terrafirma by going back to the place where we created our name, namely "Billyrock". We headed out for an overnight stay to ride and film some singletrail and downhill riding and Dave and i filmed some of the best stuff we have ever seen through a lens. Click here for more pics!

21/10 - Mick & Steve in Re-shoot Wallride
Mick and Steve and BRP wanted to re-shoot a couple of spots in town including one of our fav Wallrides. It was great to have the newest member of the BRC "Steve" onboard as he hit up the wallride with Mick and had a great time doing so.. Click here for more pics!

14/10 - Mick & Cameron
Mick, Cameron and i spent the day filming a variety of spots in town as well as locally. Mick had his eye on some local trains located near his work and as such we decided to head out and see if the trains were actually ridable. We did not take long to see that any mistakes on the top of these trains could result in some major injuries and as such Mick certainly had to be on his game. As you can see from some of the pics the height of the trains is quite high considering we are not bicycling pro's by any means so we had to be careful to ensure that Mick walked away from this stunt.

OK- time to go remove some of that rust . . .

02/09 - Fathers day
We have put our filming on hold for the last 3 weeks because of commitments which took our crew off to different areas of NSW and as such we have had to re-schedule our next shoot when the crew regroups. The time off has been used by myself to ride and evaluate specific spots in our town / city and get a feel of how best to shoot them. Stay tuned!

22/08 - Audio Soundtracks
Being Tamworth and associated with music and musicians on many different levels we have called on a few of them to submit audio soundtracks for our film, what can we say except, thank you! We have some great tracks available to us from artists such as The Blue Zone, Kristian Benton and others..
We have also written some of our own backing tracks and have come up with some sweet tunes!

12/08 - Mick & the NS Streetlegal Scenes
Today Dave & I shot Mick at his home featuring him working on his new NS Streetlegal bike. The Streetlegal is one fine looking frame and is strong enough to withstand the punishment that mick is so well known for dishing out. Mick is still running in the Streetlegal and already has many tricks dialed in and is looking forward to the riding scenes. Click here for more pics!

Today Dave and I spent over 5 hrs setting and shooting the closeups of the NS Suburban as well as some of our film sponsers logo's. We were fortunate that the days weather ended up being overcast which allowed us to have some control over the light and exposure. Back in the design studio to watch runs of the footage taken and we are very pleased with the shoot. Click here for more pics!

26/07 - The scooter riding scenes were fimed this afternoon and went off without a hitch, both the riders were on their game and dailed off some slick moves off stairs and ledges in town. Well done guys, it was a great way to start the film in terms of our 1st riding scenes, We still have Skateboarding, Inline Skating BMX riding and our own Mountain Bike crew.

16/07 - 5:30am: We started the production of Urban Traverse with our early morning city scenes, filmed whilst the sun was still down. Dave and i were all rugged up with heavy jackets, beanies and gloves as their was a very cold bite in the air this morning as we spent the early morning shooting urban scenes such as laneways, steps, ledges, rails, walls etc as well as the empty streets before the community rose and flowed in. The temperature this morning was minus - 5 degrees!
