Meave Baxter Shoot
Sharon and I drove down to film Masters Downhill World Championship Silver Medalist Meave Baxter. Meave is lucky enough to have grown up close to loads of amazing trails in Rostrevor, near Newry. She took us to one of her favourite places to ride nearby in Yellow Water forest.
The trail there ran down beside a river and looked really fun to ride. It was really flowy singletrack, and opened up more towards the top of the mountain with some stunning views.
Like all of the other riders, Meave was totally wrecked by the end of the shoot. We got her to do each section a few times to get the best angles.
After shooting we headed back to her parents house for some interview fun. This is the part that every rider hates but Meave got through it pretty well even though her wild cat and dog were there to interrupt. Check out the pics and video clip for a sneak peak of action from the day.
On the way home we called in to catch up with Glyn O’Brien and check out his new house that he built himself. When I first heard he was going to do this I didn’t know what to expect but when we arrived and went inside the place was pretty cool. Things are still in progress but he has loads of cool features like an outdoor stone fire built into a wall, a Jacuzzi bath, and tons of room for all of his bikes.
