Kevin Liu est un jeune streeter canadien de 23 ans, que l’on apprécie particulièrement. Ce talentueux rider au style très «smooth», qui habite à Vancouver et roule pour Rockman. Il s’est fait connaître par une série de vidéos qui ont rencontré un franc succès sur les forums trial de toute la planète, et notamment en France. Kevin est actuellement au guidon du nouveau Slate II, en version orange et nous vous présentions son vélo et une vidéo de ses premiers tours de roues dans l’article Kevin Liu et son Slate II. Il a ouvert en début d’année un shop on-line au nom qui sonne bien, Wherestheseat.com, et assure désormais la distribution des marques Rockman et Echo au Canada. Il y est aussi le distributeur officiel de la marque canadienne Meta.
Kevin nous fait suivre une nouvelle vidéo, de grande qualité. Une vidéo qui dure près de 15 minutes et devait à l’origine faire partie d’un projet DVD. Il nous en dit plus sur ce projet...
Wherestheseat.com have put together a 15 minute long film. We recently purchased a new DSLR and have been spending a considerable amount of time working out through all the new techniques required for producing higher quality shots. This film was originally going to be part 1 of a DVD. However, upon further investigation, acquiring music rights for distribution of a DVD was not feasible as it turned out to be more hassle than it was worth.
Having said that, we decided to release this film as a pilot to a series of longer films which we are planning to release. A large amount of time and effort goes into making these longer films, but if you guys enjoy them then it is worth the effort! If you enjoy this pilot film we are considering producing a regular series of 15 minute long films which will be released monthly. All comments and suggestions are welcome to better our videos for your viewing pleasure.
Shooting locations: Kamloops; Squiggly Line Competition, Mill Bay; PNE, Vancouver; Vanier Park, Vancouver; University of British Columbia, Vancouver.
We’ll leave you to enjoy these superb images of Kevin Liu and friends taking part in various street and natural rides as well as the Squiggly Line competition in Mill Bay (won by Kevin in Expert and Russ Philips in Pro). Don’t hesitate to leave your comments here or on the Vimeo page to encourage Kevin and his team. With a video like this every month, you couldn’t ask for more!
