Brett Rheeder - Continuum | SHIMANO

Everything is connected. Each ride is an extension of the one before. Each reentry is a transition to the next launch. Each experience builds on one another toward a flow state of endless progression. Only the settings and perspectives change along this continuum.
In this film by Brett Rheeder and Harrison Mendel, the sequence of individual movements are all linked together as a cohesive collection, with each maneuver unique yet forming a coherent visual journey across ever-changing landscapes by maintaining a locked perspective.
Creating this visual trick of relentless flow and seamless transitions from one scene to the next was a technical challenge for both rider and cinematographer, and it required intense planning and dedication from the entire team to work through these problems. Anchoring the point of view to bring the audience along on Brett’s journey as everything else moves seamlessly along the continuum.
“There were so many times where our brains were about to explode trying to think about what the next location would be and how the angle of the previous trail would line up with the next one. A very complex operation, but I’m happy we got it done and that it turned out the way it did. Thank you to Shimano for believing in my creativity and everyone else who was involved in making this come full circle - you know who you are!” - Brett Rheeder

Filming, riding, location. Exceptional.

[@renvemg]

Amazing

[@bommoriba]

What did I just saw😳🤤

[@brandEyefrid]

Remy, you mean locationS. Yes, top notch!

[@Danny_MacAskill]

So well done!! Congratulations to everyone involved in petting that film together!! 🙏

[@mahalomydude]

Timeless classic, indeed!

[@joshuafailla8763]

Hands down one of the most beautiful bike films I've seen. The repetition to pull off those seamless match cuts... mind blown!

[@ryanakins]

Agreed. This was a master piece

[@ScottyLaughland]

That was an incredible watch! The cinematography mixed with Brett's riding is epic, cool to see such a rad riding edit be completely unique in its own way. 10/10.

[@dylanpfohl]

I've never wanted a behind the scenes edit more in my life. that was legitimately unbelievable

[@mvtepixels]

Just saw a post on Brett's instagram showing some of the long cables they had to setup to attach the camera rig, at first i thought this was filmed with a drone...

[@MTB-ENG]

Love seeing a comment from one of my favorite filmers on other videos

[@PaulThePunter]

Bloody good.

[@dmytrocrawford7860]

Brett is so consistent that you can cut from one time to another and his riding will be identical. Shows how good of a rider he is.

[@pascalkretz]

This is by far one of the best filmed videos I have ever seen 🤯

[@paulpetersmail]

Regeneration, regrowth, rebirth. Thanks for the view of my hometown after the fires.

[@VincentJaramillo]

Brett has the best biking videos. Even though the riding and camera work is 12/10, it's not more about the heart, soul, and journey to me. This and beautiful idiot... legendary.

[@beutegeier]

wunderschön und völlig ohne Krawall ! leider nur zwei Minuten lang 😞 gerne noch fünf weitere Minuten von diesem genialen Drohnenpiloten von der Natur.

[@scottsecco]

Video of the year for sure! Amazing work by the whole team.

[@mMatuSs34]

Huge innovation in bike cinematography!!! 🙌🔥 The locations, the trails, drone operation, everything is dialed and of course the riding is the cherry on top! 😄🤟🙌

[@Irgendwashaltlol]

Mind-blowing video. Making you so hungry to ride.🙌🙌🙌

[@Tibiscuit_OW2]

Wow, the sound design and transitions stand out, it's insane. Wow again

[@freehubmag]

Wow that was simply incredible! 🙌

[@KennyRider24]

This blew my mind. Locations, shots and riding are so flawless!

[@NickBainas]

the riding was totally overshadowed by the cinematography and editing.....and the riding was on another level.

[@sebbennett333]

So smooth, can’t wait to see Brett back.

[@EnduroPo30]

One word : BEAUTIFUL

[@mattisstk7633]

[@DJmike68]

Wow! Great video. Well done Harrison. I can’t imagine the amount of work that must have taken. Awesome riding Brett.

[@lynxg4641]

As usual, good edit, the cuts between one bike to the next were seamless. Late to the party, missed the announcement in April, but right away saw it was Shimano sponsored and then the fork when he lifted the bike, was like WTF, then searched and found the PB article. Now I'm waiting patiently to here his "end of year" reviews of the products he's been testing.

[@KeepSmilingAdventures]

That was so nice to watch, everyone who put that together did an amazing job.

[@DamianStones]

Wow, The fluidity of the riding and filming rad! Love the transitions between locations

[@inot2381]

[@arthurdesante6454]

The cuts are clean AF🤤🔥

[@buddeh_bikes]

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I’m left wondering how they did some of these shots? Zip line for some? Blew me away!

[@drewjonespdx]
