First and second episode of the ‘Over Gravel’ video series:
portraits about people who have a great passion for gravel biking.
A Soulframes video production
“Gravel biking takes you to isolated places where no one comes.”
The ‘On Gravel’ video series are a cinematic search for the soul of gravel biking, without taking ourselves too serious. It’s not a spiritual quest or something like that. These films had to show the fun, action, camaraderie and humor of gravel biking.
The human approach plays an important role in these videos. We chose charismatic people who are passionate about gravel and have a positive philosophy of life. In a way, you can state that the primary goal was to create a unique portrait of our main characters. The secondary goal was to share their vision about gravel biking.
You can ride your gravel bike literally everywhere. That’s why we decided not to take it too far and to start locally, with gravelleurs from our city, Leuven. We may not have endless gravel roads in breathtaking sceneries, but we have lot’s of great people with good stories.
Gravel biking is hot in Belgium. It’s the new thing. And we have to admit: we’re stoked about it too. So when the idea of a new passion project came up, we chose gravel as the main topic. Not because we’re also in our midlife crisis (ok maybe, a bit), but because we love discovering new places, meeting new people and riding cool bikes. And for some of us, it was the perfect excuse to buy a new one!
