In the Limelight - Video

by Shelby Smith
Feb 28, 2011 at 22:20

Here's what's been going on in the 303, it's time to put Colorado in the limelight and what better way to start than with the Gunbarrel Dirt Jumps!


On Saturday night I got a text from a friend and fellow rider Nick Simcik, stating that he and some riders were going to have a little jam on Sunday afternoon since the snow had melted off and left some prime riding conditions at the Gunbarrel Dirt Jumps, a couple miles outside of Boulder,CO. I decided to drive up and get my filming on:

Riders: Nick Simcik, Andy Holloway, Erik Obermeyer, Kevin Rauhauser, and more.

Watch out for a full length film this summer, featuring riders in Colorado.

My name is Shelby Smith, and when I grow up I want to make films and ride my bike.

 @ lukelovesbikes yeah the rewind is a little odd, but i think the reason why it was done was because it fits intime with the music and thus keeping the rest of the video in sync/ intime with the music!

 Great video, I miss Colorado.

Dude in the background at 0:38 turns it into a rap video... I love it when people think "How will this look when edited AND with rap music" Hahahaha.

Reminds me of Dave Chappelle's "Everything looks cooler in slow mo"

Nice riding!!

 hmmm lets see this is a pretty lights remix....and where is pretty lights from? Colorado seems pretty fitting to me...(I think boulder too where these jumps are.)
