It finally arrived – Break the Cycle’s final shoot, and we definitely finished off the shooting in style.  Andy and I met up with all the Break The Cycle riders (minus two) this morning bright and early at Moneyscalp forest, Co. Down.   It was an amazing day, one of the best we have had for a while with sunny blue skies.  We were really lucky to have zip line extraordinaire Shane McCauley to come and set up a zip line for us!  It took a little longer to set up than he had hoped, Moneyscalp forest is pretty dense and it was hard finding a spot where Andy would stay clear of nearby trees, but he managed and it turned out really good, the fastest and longest one Andy had experienced yet!

After the riders had a quick warm up , we started filming as Shane got to work with the zip line.  Was a strange but cool day having Irelands top riders all together but not competing against each other, I think everyone enjoyed the experience of riding together and checking out each others lines and riding styles!  Was very chilled out and funny when the riders started trying to overtake each other, there were a few funny falls!  After the zip we had a few interviews to finish off then called it a day.  A few of the riders took the opportunity to spend another few hours out on their bikes together while they were all in the same part of the country and had the chance.

So with shooting finished Andy is now getting stuck into the editing.  We have had requests from people in Canada, America and UK for screening evenings, and are currently checking out some film festivals also.  Subscribe to the site to be the first to hear of screening event details and World Wide dvd release dates.  I am currently trying to organise a launch party in Belfast which should be pretty big with some of the bands involved playing.  Details will be posted here when I have them, don’t miss out!

Fuzz and I started off quite early in the morning and met up with Ewan Doherty at Slieve Donard car park in Newcastle, Northern Ireland.  The weather was amazing again.  I’m sure other Break the Cycle rider Colin Ross will be pissed to hear this as we have had him shoting in the worst conditions so far,

Ewans day was not without problems though.  We spent about 30 minutes climbing up the mountain and started shooting.  Pretty soon Ewan got his first puncture of the day.  He had to go all the way back down to get it fixed.  He got a total of four punctures today which held things back quite a bit!

In the end it was all good.  We went to Belfast Lough where Ewan usually does one of his training runs from Holywood to Bangor and got a bit of an interview off him there.  We also got a few good shots of him working on his bike in his garage.
