Hi Guys
Some interesting points of view here. But I don't think that we should be judging individuals on their achievements.
Bearing in mind what this guy has achieved whether it is to your taste or not. I don't know the guy so have not personal interest in defending him.
But if any of you have tried to sell any video ideas or footage to TV companies you will understand how difficult it is to do.
Nick has managed this via his own eccentric way of directing and has been more successful than most at doing this.
In order to get these screened much of the adventure biking type activities have to be diluted for the TV travel audience. But anything screened on biking is a bonus. I would always prefer to watch something on biking rather than a travel programme with a plonker spending a weekend in a jungle with a full film crew telling us how difficult the making of the film was.
Whether you agree with the type of short films Nick makes is down to your personal preference.
I suppose the thing to remember here that just because someone does something different to you does not necessarily make it wrong.
Personally just rushing through countries and not seeing the areas of interest does not do it for me, but then who is out there traveling on his bike when most of us are trying to plan our next trip.
Cheers
Julio
