Especially if the show is called "When Bike's Bite Back"

I have a Sony DVR-TRV 950 or something or other...takes pretty darn good footage.

I'm really keen for the Cliffhanger Hillclimb in March 07 to be aired on TV - raise the profile.

I'm filming the Wairarapa Sprints on Sunday as well if that is any good to you. (I'm an amateur BTW)

What about a Top Gear equivalent for bikes....plenty of Welly Crew who are fairly articulate, but can also spin some BS into the mix.

If you want to actually see how camera unfriendly I am, I will be on Filth Files at some stage...maybe the next lot of episodes. I did a clip for Top Shelf, showing one aspect of my job.

There is so much that can be flimed, i would like that all sectors of the NZ riding sence is invovled, i see a 30 min programe to begin with, if you know television you know why i say this,
It will take a group of us to make it a interesting programe, and some hard work, but it can be done in a way us as community want to have on our televisions..

I don't have that handy cam but I think it'd be interesting to show people what it's like to split through Auckland MW traffic.

On the downside I can see that starting a very big, loud conversation about splitting and having the cops clamp down on it for a bit.

Maybe show a few near misses and reinforce the whole "look out for bikes" campaign.

Make sure there's footage of a 500 filling up too.... ooo look... 400km for $20... not bad! LOL

Good stuff.

I've got some footage of the charity ride that was on when Charlie Borham was here. I was hanging of the back of Bugjuice's bike filming, I can send you a DVD of that if you wanna take a look.

I have no experience, no handy cam and no real idea of what I'm volunteering for, but if you can use someone who can write well and research well, and has experience in public speaking I'm your guy. What sort of time commitment will this be? Are we talking about a job or a hobby?

**SwanTiger** · 22nd September 2006, 11:15

My white legs cladded in stubbie shorts will become a kiwi icon, just you wait.

**CBR97** · 22nd September 2006, 16:19

No experience? you ride a motorbike, so your experienced,
For this to work well we will need people with different skills , a writer , web design, Presentor, maybe 2. etc. etc.

So it is up to us to get involved, I dont see a lot of money being made, but you never know, Id rather work at haveing it pay for it self, through adverts, and if there is enough interest maybe a major advertiser can have naming rights and pay for the full production,
Im perpared to put alot of my own time into this and make this work, but many hands make light work.

I'll help carry stuff. I have a face for radio... Don't really mind doing whatever is required. Done some large crowd stuff so no problems with that. Will wear Gorilla/Klingon/Man-Nappies costume if required.
