Who wants some leftovers?

For A Bigger Slice of British Pie, we shot a hell of a lot of footage. And a fair chunk of that was left out and may never see the light of day. Well it might, in the B-Roll. There was so much good photographic content left over from Ben Winder that I'm just trying to share as much of it as possible from what was the best MTB project of my life so far. Enjoy!
Picture
At the end of 2 days filming with the North Wales boys, everyone had bonked. It was starting to go dark in the woods and Gaz watched all the boys trickle down the steepest track I've ever seen. An Al Bond special slithering down the steepest of shoots and in-between the biggest of boulders. Nobody wanted to do it, especially not on trail bikes. But peer pressure is a magical thing.
Picture
The footage from this track was super dark and not really usable. Steep never actually looks steep on camera, which is a shame. But it was great fun to watch the boys on the edge of control.
Picture
Emyr Davies, probably knackered and preparing for another round of Al Bond steepness.
Picture
The pink ramp! That ramp is a good 13 years old, Toys R Us special. I used to see how many people I could gap off it when I was 12 and a 'BMXer'. It's use in the pie was to put it in the daftest place and see where you could end up off it. We had to put bricks and stones underneath it to stop the bugger sliding on impact though!

Leo Housman and his seemingly never ending supply of Haribo,
Picture
Big thanks to Simmonds for ditching his honeymoon to come and ride with us, even though he was in a pink swimsuit with goggles on.
Picture
The full North Wales crew.
Picture
Steve Peat. Who'd have thought the face of Mountain Biking in the UK would be in my film. Quite the honour having him in front of the lens.
Picture
The 4x powerhouse that is Luke Cryer, chauffeured by Alton local, Dean Wood.
Picture
We found a wild Nikki Whiles deep in the heart of the South Wales valleys.
Picture
Picture
The boys were buzzing with some free stickers!
Picture
About 25 of us turned up to this pub after the dual session and it was only a little place. Jam packed it was, no room!
Picture
Phil Atwill's old school style at Beastramps, Manchester.

Picture
Just before the Pie impacted on Phil's face. No wonder it hurt his nose (his nose that he had surgery on a few months before), we had to reinforce the plate as it wasn't heavy enough. It had 2 disc rotors strapped to the back of it! But I didn't tell him that part.

Never thought I'd carry a catapult with a grandma.

Grandma Bryceland getting ready for her big appearance.

A wild Joe Flanagan in his natural habitat.
Picture
Winter. It's great.
Picture
The Lakes crew, mid lunch break. Also feat. Beamer.
Picture
Classic pikey Phil Atwill.
Picture
The home made chain guide his dad crafted the night before out of a piece of teak. It worked, until it snapped off.

Picture
Bill Farrington trying to fix his bike minutes before the start of the big grand prix.
Picture
The boys lined up ready to give it some throttle.
Picture
Picture
The media squids putting in some elbow grease to clear some trail obstacles. We accidentally rolled this bugger down the backside of Ben Nevis. We heard it rolling for a good minute after we pushed it. I hope it took out no hikists on the way down.
Picture
On the 2nd day of filming, Cathro properly spannered himself against a tree. I think he dislocated his collarbone.
Picture
The boys off for a dip in Loch Ness when the air temperature was a barmy 4 degrees.
Picture
Jono and the talking gash.
Picture
We had every type of weather during this day. This was when it was hailing. A great expression of enjoyment upon Brendans face.
Picture
Picture
The man, the myth, the legend. Olly Wilkins.
Picture
A recipe for disaster feat. Matt Jones.
Picture
Picture
This was the consistency of Jono Jones' road gap. Basically chocolate cake.
Picture

Bryceland trying to perfect his slopestyle career, whilst Pagey looks on.
Picture
The boys congratulating Joe on his backflip.. attempts.
Picture
Brendan tasting the surrey soil, probably not for the first time. 
Picture
This part never made the film. It all looked well and good launching out of this old brick building, but on the landing were a series of very soft, and pretty brutal natural steps. You couldn't go fast it it just looked awkward bobbling down these steps. Bit of a shame really!

Manon Carpenter showing Vero Sandler how she actually trains for World Cups..

Picture
And then the food fight begun. In the middle of Bringewood! 
Picture
Little man, big truck, and bullhead. 
Picture
Bullhead or Dave Wardell as it turns out is bloody quick on a bike. Masters silver medalist and can keep up with Danny! 
Picture
We'll leave it at that for now, B-Roll on the way soon!
