ESAR – Behind the Scenes 2009 Race Start

May 22nd, 2010 Mark No comments

A video that I just found and I thought was gone, but it has resurfaced!  The ESAR 2009 race at C.F.B. Borden out of Camp Blackdown was a special opportunity to cover terrain that most never get to see or traverse. Here in this video we follow the top team with Bob Miller, Dave Coroner, John Blackwell (Supplier Pipeline SPI / Shed Coffee Bar  / AR studs) .  You also see team Any Style who has won the 911 mens category for the last 8 years.  I feel the beauty in this video is not only the interesting angle and perspective at which it was shot (out the back of an SUV ) but the conversations by the top teams, and the chatter on the radio as the race staff puts on a seamless race for the racers. A must see if you think that race organization is in your future. Grab a coffee as this video is cut down to 10 minutes and is the first portion of a 45 minute ride to CP 1.

For the full version and another perspective you can see the helmet cam version from the guys at RaceDayRush.com here. Check it out

I wouldn’t build one of these if I were you. This is dangerous stuff. Riding your bike at high speed while attached to other bikes at high speed is a really dumb idea. We don’t condone such behaviour and we don’t recommend you do it. This is a short unedited documentary on how people can hurt themselves by making and using adventure racing bike tows.
