First time shooting with Fixed Gear Leeds

It's time to talk about my first time filming with Fixed Gear Leeds. I wasn't entirely sure of the route for the ride as most of the time it is pretty much made up as the group go along, so I was basically playing it by ear to see where the group headed. I got some initial footage of the group at Hyde Park Corner where they meet before the ride and then we headed off into town. I decided to not try filming when riding as firstly I think I would have killed myself and secondly I was planning on cutting any footage I got with ride footage from the back of a car from another day riding/shooting. We then arrived in the square outside the gallery and I filmed there for around 20 minutes and it was then a similar amount of time in Millennium square after another ride around town. I'm not 100% sure about the quality of the trick footage and whether there is much in the way of landed tricks but then again through their own admission this isn't one of the groups strong points and not really something the focus on. This means that hopefully the ride footage comes out really well so I don't have to use much of the trick footage. I will post up some actual footage when I start editing the footage.
