Working with Red Bull

I headed of to Weston Beach Race to film for Red Bull Reporter.

"Tom Grundy joined the Red Bull Reporter team at Weston Beach Race in Somerset, where he caught on camera all the action from the largest off-road motorcycle event in the UK. Check out Tom’s report to soak up the atmosphere from the event and see the riders battle it out for the title in the Kids 65cc Race and the Adult Quad and Side-Car Race."

 Two photos I took whilst i was there:
