RUN IT! South Africa Full Segment 4

With the ever-growing amount of resources available to the public, the time has never been easier for one to control their own destiny. This theme is growing more prevalent among established riders.

As an up and coming rider, you no longer have to lug around your Dad's handy cam and spend countless hours digitizing your stack of DV tapes to ultimately (literally) mail the DVD or VHS to potential sponsors in hopes that someone would eventually open the package to watch it. Ten years ago, Taylor Sage and I did just that. We made a movie called, "Git Sum", which was distributed worldwide on DVD and sold around 5,000 copies. Our only equipment was a VX2100, a 512k RAM laptop and a bootleg copy of Premiere 3.0. The absence of sponsors yielded a freedom to film and edit whatever and however we wanted.

Back to present day, we are rekindling that fire with the help of the internet. Now we have the complete freedom to create, and we intend to use it. Our first mission: Darkfest. Enjoy.

-Cam Zink and Taylor Sage
