Making a BMX Video Part By Yourself

[@pieb0y1]

I could watch hours upon hours straight of your riding Dan, the editing, filming and audio makes it feel like I'm right there with you, keep it up!

[@x88868]

Crazy. I feel like I'm the one filming him.

[@MATHEWJOHNAUSTIN]

Same here-very relaxing and great for my anxiety

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you! I love that you get that feeling from watching

[@m_t_burton]

Honestly, one of the best edits I’ve ever seen, never wanted to ride my bike so bad after watching that pure inspiration

[@danfoleybmx]

So hyped to hear that! Thanks!

[@Akestler]

That cross frame pedal grab or whatever was dope!!!

[@landoncarrillo89]

That Euro table on the thumbnail is beautiful 💯

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you! Knew in the moment it laid over in the air that I'd have to use it

[@thomasrweir]

This is an absolute masterpiece. Thanks for putting this up. Pure art.

[@danfoleybmx]

Thanks so much! Hyped it's getting so much love

[@robdiquattro5590]

[@Anthonyhancock71]

Bowl footage is insane 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@londonsfallingcreative5415]

I am beyond happy to see you are back making videos!!! You are one of my favorite riders.

[@rumblefishes]

Classy stuff!

[@likamuuk]

Going beyond all borders with this one once again.. Such a good video Dan!

[@simono666]

Dan foley you legend. always stoked to see you ride. one of the best to watch, thank you

[@eternalviktor]

Bmx is not dead

[@TeamPlanlos]

Absolutely love the video style! A series of well thought out frames that let the riding speak for itself. Calm, precise but not a little bit boring.

[@brendonpotts4342]

The riding is so good, and the filming is way cool! I love how you keep the cameras out of each other’s shots, and just your framing is so good. Love the little kind of “environmental” shots too. Thanks!

[@Rawkerguy20]

Solo ride are so awesome. So much time to practice new stuff

[@djwozzawoz]

RESPECT IS DUE. Me & my Son (26) love your edits, some of the best BMX edits online. keep them up. Inspirational. So well executed..

[@danfoleybmx]

Much appreciated!

[@mirng7017]

I love every single bit of this. Absolute banger!

[@Empith33]

I love how you can just hear the hub roaring no music. Top notch mate 👌

[@joejohnson8656]

So many sick lines, ripping style Holmes!!!

[@DrewTega]

So damn good.

[@crennosaure]

Flawless with flow ! Seriously, everything is just perfect...

[@brown-brettstgermain9166]

Most amazing BMX video I have ever seen. I’m still riding as i have since 1980. Love the fact there is no music. Just the ambient sound. Captures how it truly is (unless you a music user…i am not). Sincerely, greatest video of all time to express the emotion and feeling to those that don’t know what bmx is about. We all bmx’ers get this vid 100%. From the attempts, the denials, the come backs….we bmx’ers know this. But to show a BMX video to the public, a video that truly “shows them” what it is… I think this is it, or at the very least a high contender. This video shows the heart. Love it!

[@wd5074]

New favourite video.

[@nathaniel__moore]

Love everything about this video. The local spots, eye for riding, and above all the vibes of solo filming, just so inspirational for me

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you!

[@evilc.reations]

can't believe it;'s taken this long for me to watch this after loving your clips online. the process and the framing is just so much.

[@stretch8399]

Mate you have brilliant skills in all 3 disciplines, street, park and vert. Much respect 👍

[@dimensionsofearth]

Both pedals at the same time! I like the raw audio vibe and the occaßional helmet

[@jamestrost8412]

Couldn’t think of a better person to rep Durham 💯💯🔥🔥 🐂🐂

[@Sethstevens14]

Insane riding & filming dude!! You never cease to inspire me to go out and ride 🙌

[@danielheiss3299]

Absolutely. Beautiful. I can't express how much this epitomizes BMX for me. Just. Wow.

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you! Always rad hearing when people feel similarly to riding

[@Jerseymulisha21]

I watched this 3 times in a row and it is so sick..such a amazing job I love everything about..the riding forget about it just so dialed .. but all the camera work how you put this together every spot, I dunno every single part are straight bangers..you killed it brother for real 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼can't say enough about this one.. my favorite for 2024 so far ..

[@bmxaf]

Love the steez, big fan here.. Love the angles of the last clip. Probably my fave of all, little noz bumper then arcing in to the rail hop... Sublime. 💥

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you!

[@t.flannel1]

[@MackTRB]

Insane amount of style, unreal edit. Favourite, most steezy rider out, hands down.

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you!

[@danknowlesmtb]

Pure art 🤌

[@anastasis_anastasiou1]

yes! The dedication 🙌

[@lavaboy2811]

I felt that slip out bro happens to the best of us. Tranquil yet chaotic ❤❤❤

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you! hahaha definitely on the slip out. You never see it coming either

[@ironmike1823]

This is amazing.

[@2wheels1love21]

You’re my favorite athlete bro!!! I wish I was half the rider 🙏

[@ferlowa]

master piece

[@Jwee03]

So sick!

[@ДаниилПрудниченков]

Such perfection❤

[@Lenikinski]

Awesome

[@CRAZYEXTREMEENDURO]

Awesome bro. I love lone ride style.

[@ericcastillo2858]

your video is woooooooooooow

[@JAW1932]

Amazing video. That one foot - over bar pedal grab @6:23 over the double roller was absolutely sick. I don't think I've ever seen that done.

[@danfoleybmx]

Thanks! That's a fun one that works surprisingly well. Just a little further reach than a tire grab

[@outdoorexpeditionsusallc6496]

I’ve watched this several times now and it never gets old! Incredible riding and video edit!

[@danfoleybmx]

Thanks!!

[@bensun432]

so good

[@thomascatillon3166]

pretty ! always a pleasure to see you ride, clean and smooth. It made me want to do BMX again which had been gathering dust for 2 years!

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you! Get that bike out and see if the feeling is still there. Stoked the vid gave you some inspo!

[@rokkrivec]

so epic! 🤘🤘

[@Freakofspeed]

love it!

[@hamishholden2922]

Photography is as superb as the riding! Very nice :P

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you!

[@declanarmstrong4472]

I would watch this back to back but I need to ride my bike! Thank you Dan!

[@danfoleybmx]

Go get out there! Thanks!

[@JanWaszczuk94]

Incredibe! Your riding is on another level and your cinematography is truly unique! Thank you so much for putting this out!

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you, it means a lot!

[@freestylemagcz]

Much stylish

[@NathanLaessig]

I needed this. So bad. Thank you.

[@danfoleybmx]

Stoked you're stoked. Thanks for the support!

[@joeriveul]

Your videos are the sickest. They remind me of those hours before Christmas dinner on which the streets are empty, but you're all set to cruise and explore by yourself. I also wouldn't even want to know how many times I've watched your Premium 2013 video. Every time I hear a song by Wild Nothing I can't stop but thinking of the tabletop into the grass hill.

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you! Definitely going for that sort of vibe. I love that feeling of having empty spots all around you. You should def check out Wild Nothing's new album if you haven't, good stuff

[@dr3iii]

Spot on! This is the feeling I used to get by riding hours before Christmas, all by myself in the streets

[@spenserleephoto]

This is amazing. Great work!!

[@DEADSLOW]

This is absolutely amazing! Riding is so unique and the flow is just... you are like from another planet! In the mean time the shooting is so good, if say to somebody that you can shoot an action video only on tripod, they will probably just laugh, but this is just amazing! The edit was astonishing! Love you Dan!

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you! I really appreciate the comment and support. Much love!

[@tgchan]

I really hope you are aware of how amazing ART you are creating. Absolutely stellar/

[@samwynn6186]

This is truly AWESOME, a work of art 🎉❤

[@ravvbike]

Amazing, great to see you keeping up during all these years. Huge inspiration

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you!

[@Elcurtoe]

Legend

[@garretteverett2613]

Incredible edit. Shooting like this feels like a bit more of an art project, an appreciation for the space that you're in, and allows you (forces you?) to frame shots perfectly in a way that's hard to with a mobile camera. I love that you just went with the environmental sounds too, no music - bikes and terrain make great sounds.

[@danfoleybmx]

Thanks so much! I love the various spaces that your bike takes you to and try to do each spot some sort of justice, whether it's just showing the trick the best way I can, or getting a few shots to try to capture the vibe of it. Using a tripod definitely does force you to shoot in certain ways, but trying to find the best way to marry the limitations of using static shots with the opportunities the spot provides is one of my favorite parts.

[@Banannalands]

6:26 I need a tutorial on how to do that 😂 what a cool trick!

[@danfoleybmx]

Learn basic tire grabs, then 1 ft tire grabs, then you're basically there. Just reach a little further and you've got it!

[@amadiurs]

Vaya crack!!! Estilazoo

[@mattpstreetg]

I know this all too well. Also perfect spot usage.

[@henrysheppard9647]

Big fan thx from nc.

[@Thrash_nc]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@perscribings]

You make me want to improve.

[@bmatiasx]

oh man how stylish

[@MOUNTAINBROTHERACTUAL]

Man, I felt like an absolute out of place old goober riding my bike this morning. Watching your edit now, I feel stoked again, definitely going for another ride tonight.

[@danfoleybmx]

There's no such thing. Hope you get back out there and enjoy! Stoked this got you motivated

[@fmfory6]

Your the goat

[@allennickles3970]

So fucking good. I'll definitely watch this 50 times in the next 24hrs. The Steez is real bro!😮

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you!!

[@tedkay1017]

Well done! In the early 2,000s when small digital cameras 1st came out, I shot my own vidz, edited with Pinnacle Studio.

[@danfoleybmx]

I remember those days

[@pieb0y1]

What park is that at 12:50 ? If I'm ever on a trip near there I'd wanna ride there some day

[@danfoleybmx]

Cary Action Sports in Cary, NC. 10/10 would recommend

[@Mathew302]

So sick. Why do I have to live in a place with so much snow right now. :( :D

[@Scabadart]

This is goated with the fucken sauce

[@r2rooooo]

Niceeeee

[@zaphod_beeblerox]

fuck yeah

[@TreeOfLifeCG]

Has been, and will be, my favorite rider. Also i miss chapel hill. And the Unit ): and Sk8 Cary. All of it.

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you! Come back and lets cruise!

[@aldialman1319]

Terbaik

[@SchnellVITALVINYLVLOG]

So awesome I always use a rock as a tripod lol

[@danfoleybmx]

Thanks! Sometimes a good rock is all you need

[@nickcerescu3186]

First I press Like button and then I press play@!

[@danfoleybmx]

Much appreciated!

[@apanhaesta]

The definition of bmx.

[@apanhaesta]

By the way, sound is amazing!

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you!!

[@butterlegs]

Yeah, that’s one fine lookin’ self-filmed video… why doesn’t mine look like that?!

[@bmx08]

Beautiful video. Congrats!! What picture profile you use? Log?

[@danfoleybmx]

Thank you! I usually shoot in Panasonic's natural profile, with the contrast/saturation/sharpness turned down all the way for some flexibility. Color grading isn't my strong suit, so I don't really mess with log.
