Some of the videos produced were cookery demonstrations with local celebrity chefs.

I have a background in downhill mountain bike racing and was asked to travel over to Slovenia for the first round of the downhill mountain bike World Cup to help filmmaker John Lawlor produce videos for the Santa Cruz and Specialized teams.

While in Slovenia I had a some spare time and put together a few short videos of my own.  Honcho Designs has producer accounts and contacts with all the major extreme sports video websites.  This means the videos were featured on home pages and viewed by thousands of people just a few hours after the event.

The samples that were uploaded were the top three viewed videos of the week after the race on sites freecaster.tv, MPORA, and Pink Bike.  This represents an excellent opportunity for anyone wishing to market to the extreme sports demographic.

Check out the sample video and some of the stats below.

The Rosco Lines website allows for multiple plug-ins to be added to give increased functionality to the site.  At the moment some features include a new-post subscription service, easy sharing to social network sites like Facebook, and advanced site statistics.

Colin is the current Irish downhill national points series champion and has just taken on youth development rider Jonny Charters. In 2010 they both aim to race and dominate the Irish race scene.

In 2008 Honcho Designs also produced an award winning video for Colin Ross at Cave Hill, in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Honcho Designs was at round 3 of the Nissan UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Andorra to produce videos for factory teams Specialized and Santa Cruz.  The two teams have the best riders on the scene, with Santa Cruz Syndicate rider Steve Peat claiming victory at the weekend, and also setting the world record for the most World Cup wins ever.  Specialized rider Sam Hill was nearly two seconds up at the split before crashing hard near the top of the course.

The riders were not the only ones who had to go fast.  The videos which were shot on a Sony EX1 camera were, edited, and uploaded to the team sites one day after the weekend.
