Doc two filmed, we are ready for the edit....

Another crazy drive around the country has ended and the second of the two documentaries I'm working on has finished filming. We drove to manchester to film the olympic development programmes BMX riders which was an amazing experience and they were all great on camera and very good in the interviews. There coach Marcus Bloomfield was very kind and allowed us access for two days which gave us ample opportunities to film their training and gain some great cutaways and actuality. As the Director I'm really thankful to British Cycling for allowing us to film and visit there amazing facility so close to the Olympics.
After two days in Manchester we travelled down to London for the next leg of the filming, we visited the Peckham BMX club which has development and trained two of England's brightest talents, Quillan Isidore and Tre Whyte. and then travelled to Mitcham and Sheen to film with a very talented young rider called Flo who had her first World Championships experience this year in the 12-14 category.
Finally on sunday we filmed with Rob Reed who was one of our earliest contributors and very instrumental in helping me to develop this story, we filmed him training at his local track, Hayes Hawks, and then filmed a master interview. before driving back to Cornwall!

 This documentary has been a Fantastic experience, we have filmed at the biggest event on the BMX calendar, filmed with the coach and riders of the Olympic development team, meet and worked with CK flash the coach of Quillan Isidore the world number one rider in his class and young talent such as Flo. Throughout the filming we have meet a great many people and I have become completely hooked by BMX riding and I look forward to cheering on our Olympic riders Shanaze Reade and Liam Phillips 
in the up coming weeks at the 2012 Olympic Games here in London.
