I dispensed with my usual Contour helmet camera and instead used a Canon SX40 HS still camera, I mounted it on a table top mini tripod. Self-Filmed over 2 days during the Australia Day long weekend, it required over 70 separate cycles of a filming process. The process involved setting up the camera on the side of the track, a quick ride past and then a post film review, before repeating this process at the next track section. The final product was combined, cut and edited in Windows MovieMaker before producing the final product that you see here. Hope you enjoy it.

Women’s BMX is a small but tight and growing community, making their way to big competitions around the world. This documentary captures their first time at a major event like Simple Session.
