Jerad Fischer and I went to the Valmont Bike Park to do an interview and showcase his riding as an amputee. We hope to show other amputees that it's gonna be alright and that you can still get out there.

Its been about three years since Jerad's big crash which led to him getting his leg amputated. Since then its been a long recovery. He has gotten back on his bike to start riding again about four months ago.

liked it a lot!

2 things:
-did u have a deadcat on the mic? noticed a little bit of wind noise.
-a reflector aimed at his face would have been really nice, i couldnt see his face at all it was so dark

good call. i would say watch your exposure in general, it seems like you have a slight tendency to underexpose. if i remember correctly, it's very easy to accidentally underexpose with the HVX, especially in daylight.


but as i said before, great work scott. definitely an inspiring story.

thanks will. I'm still working on finding the right exposure for filming biking during daylight. filming skiing is much easier because of all the snow reflecting the sun but grass and dirt does not do the same.

and thanks again, glad you liked the video.
