Escape NYC - In Search for Gravel

Hey folks, last weekend my friend and I went on a bikepacking trip on our gravel bikes. We wanted to leave NYC and get some dirt riding and gravel under our tires. I made a microfilm about it and wanted to share it. I hope you all enjoy it. Subscribe to my channel for more videos.

Good video!
You have a nice mix of perspectives rather than just a one angle run on sentence. Music suited it as well.

Right on, thanks for the kind words. Appreciate you checking it out. I would have loved to make it longer. But the 2nd day we road back in the rain and setting up the camera became a hindrance.

That's a really nicely done video. All the more impressive that you had the energy to keep getting on / off your bike to set up all of those shots. That is a whole lot of work.

Looks like you had a great trip. Thanks for posting.
