i submitted a surly pugsley film,a 3 minute re-edit of the original and was runner up..i was quite overwhelmed by the applause and cheer in the theatre, for my efforts
i won a cool book and gift voucher for Endura clothing to spend at The Hub cycle shop at Glentress...

  1. Great news! Well done on the prize. You're a talented film maker and put a lot of effort into them. Even a non biker like me can both enjoy the films and appreciate the technical side too.

    Cheers......

  3. Hi,
    We are a non-profit trail association in Washington State hosting a bike film festival. It would be great to have your Pugsley film in our festival. We have a lot of Pugsley riders in this area, mostly riding on the snow of our cross country ski trails so your shots of surf and sand would be really fun for everyone. You can find more information at bikethemethow.com
    We are offering cash prizes and films are due by August 30th. Congratulations on your film. It's very good!

  4. Fantastically well done Bruce - I'm officially very proud of my talented wee brother. How about a lesson in film making sometime? for free, obviously!
