For the past couple of years, Yeti has been regularly producing short videos that chronicle the race team, races, riders, events and the like. If you haven't checked these out yet, you're missing some good riding, great footage and awesome production!

I'm blown away by the foresight by Yeti to put this together and the impeccable execution. They even allow you to download the films to your computer or iPod.

Does anyone know who puts these together? (films, edits, etc?)

Thanks.

It's a shame all DH teams don't seem this sweet.

Yeah, ditto. I love Clay's work, one of the best little bits is at the Fontana race with Blenkinsop coming through the crowds with Rascal Flatt and the fan's horns blaring.
just out of curiosity anyone know about how tall Justin Leov is?

 

[seespotendo]

most likely

Justin Leov's website says he's 180cms. Not sure what that is in feet

Spoke to Clay at Bromont really quickly. He does great work in capturing the race weekend for Yeti. Wish more teams would do this kind of thing. Santa Cruz and the Athertons have something similar and I think that's great too.

John Reynolds films and edits the local MSC races while clay is off at the World Cups. Both producers are awesome and the Video's rock!

They are available as podcasts as well. Nice when you commute by bus

This was a big reason why I am switching to yeti for next year.
To have a company that cares so much about racing and really promotes their riders and their product like they do in a positive, this is what we are manner is great.
There are many other reasons but this stuff is sick.

The most "moving" vidz from Yeti was ones with Graves being unfortunate. When last year he got flat tire in world champs, I immediately thought: "There will be one sad Jared in thier next podcast". It really lets us (the fans) see what is going on with the riders and their teams.

And these videos (when done well) really makes the brand stronger.

Atherton's has a podcast too. Unfortunately they don't come up with new videos as often as the Yeti does.

Basically, what Clay does is smart as hell.
I'm pretty sure Yeti pays him to put the videos together. So, he goes out with them, stays with them, shoots all of the Yeti guys, and the other racers. Then, he puts out a little segment of just the Yeti guys, and saves the rest of the footy of the other riders and makes a movie out of the remaining footage that he puts out around Christmas time.
Like I said, I don't know, but I'm assuming seeing as I've seen EVERY video on the site (I have spare time in my film classes, haha)

Yetis website and especially the content in vids and pics is second to none. They do it as right as you can.
Big applause to yeti, the photogs on there and Clay for the amazing vids.

 

[konastab01]

I love the yeti videos....
They keep it fresh and give outsiders a small look into there work.
Awesome.

A little bit taller than me, maybe 6'?? probably on the Yeti site somewhere

Just another reason why I have had so many Yeti bikes.

Thanks for the heads up Dave. You just can't help but to love Clay's work.

(180/2.54)/12 = 5.9ft = 5ft 11in
