Cruising In The Clouds – Video of the Week by Ryan Grassley

Tuesday May 24, 2011

Editor’s Note:
Meet Ryan Grassley; motorcycle freak, adventurer, explorer, all around good-guy. He also happens to be one badass amateur videographer!

To the best of my knowledge, he’s the first to video document the mystical moods of the Boquete Cloud Forest and it’s twisty, turny mountain passages.

I’ve been checking out his productions for a couple of months now and this guy has talent!

Ryan’s creative implementation of slow motion and dramatic soundtrack are over the top!

Check-in every week as I roll out his new productions and wipe the dust off of his past productions.

I can’t think of a better way to breathe in the raw, natural beauty of the Chiriquí highlands than riding sidekick with Ryan!

Crank up the volume, and if you have the bandwidth, click the 1080p High Definition button, then Buckle Up… you’re going on a wild ride!

 

Here’s Ryan’s commentary for this video:
Above the mountain village of Boquete, Panama there are some amazing twisty, steep roads. I was very lucky to not be drenched in rain while I was trying to film. I got some great footage of the clouds, roads and forest. I stopped for a while and stood in silence surrounded by a cloud and listened to the silence, mixed with birds chirping. It really is a magical place.

The music for this video was created by Scott Altham. You can hear more of his great tunes on his myspace page here. And on www.ccmixter.org here.
