My name is Wittig

Pablo Gonzalez Wittig is a rider from Madrid (Spain) that is funny and always joking. He's been riding forever - downhill, all mountain, cross country or cyclocross, and we wanted to make a DH video of him. This time we were joined by David Gorcan and his friend Ismael Fernandez. Ismael is a great Spanish filmer, who has worked on national tv advertisements and full length films - he wanted to try filming downhill. The weather was fantastic and we also got some great photos from Juan Angel Triguero Melian. Enjoy!

 Before watching this video, and by seeing the pictures I was expecting a rough shredding metal as the music for this video. Though my expectation was not met, the video was superb, and also liked the music. Smile
