Everyone I talk to about what I do for a living is blown away. "You do photos and video work for a living?" is usually the answer I get, and when I respond to them with "Yes, basically" they respond with "wow, if only...". Out of everything I saw myself doing after school, sitting at a desk working for the largest mountain biking website in the world was not in my top 5, or even 15, but I can honestly say it has effected me in an extremely positive way.

As my position revolves a fair amount around journalism I get to go on some fun trips, however, my most recent trip to Aptos California was my first solo trip on behalf of Pinkbike, so...

Myself and the riders in this movie hail from the seaside town of Wollongong, which lies a good hour south of Sydney, Australia. It is tucked between mountain peaks, miles of beaches and lush rain-forests. Wollongong is an indigenous Australian term for "Land between mountain and sea" which is how the name for the movie came about. It was like bread and butter to me, the name just meshed with the theme of the movie, and seemed to pick up a great response region wide.
