The second season of the Stund series is summarized, with a certain degree of brevity, by Tam Forde. Read on for the Best Of episode as well!

RM: What was the single craziest thing that happened on the tour bike wise?
Every day we went shooting the guys did something to impress me. As far as crazy...I'd have to say that Garett's drop to massive hip in Utah was pretty amazing. I remember watching it in real time and thinking it looked like slow motion...He was in the air for that long!
RM: What about off the bike?
Off the bike...To be honest we're a pretty mellow crew. No CKY antics or anything of that sort. There were some pretty funny nights in Vegas but we'll just leave it at that.
RM: What level of creative control do you have with editing and putting the webisodes together?
Steve and Mike allow me a lot of creative direction when making the series. I come up with the edit, and then we review it for any changes that need to be made. Simple and straight forward!
The Oregon shoot; beaches and bikes, a combo that can't be beat.
RM: How will the footage from the series contribute to your 2010 film, Brighter, is it independent or will some of the nugs sneak in there?
Unfortunately all the nugs from Stund you already see in the episodes so theres not a lot of extra footage to work with. Don't worry though; Brighter will have plenty of "wow" come February.
RM: How does the ratio of time you spend outside filming and time inside editing work out?
You know, it's funny you asked this question because I was just thinking about it last night. It's actually about 60/40 in favor of shooting. I've spent a lot of time on the road this year...so much that editing Stund came down to the last 25 days, 14-16 hours a day. But now it's finally done!!!
RM: Thanks for this Tam, you're the man!
