Halo BDS Rheola Video

I spent a sunny weekend down at rheola in wales and shot this video.

I'm quite pleased with the final result. The Video was first on the internet by almost a day. I had the fastest turn around time and production speed of all film-makers at the event.

It was a good weekend, cleaned up by the Athertons with the Results as follows:

Elite Men:
1st Gee Atherton
2nd Dan Atherton
3rd Matt Simmonds

Elite Women
1st Rachel Atherton
2nd Amy Dix
3rd Mannon Carpenter

Enjoy!
