So you want to make a television show? You see yourself riding around on the latest model motorcycles, visiting exotic locations and getting the videotapes you need as you go. Fine food, fine dining, and each day a kaleidoscope of sunshine and dramatic scenery, what could be easier or more fun? And then after your return, you invite your riding buddies over to watch your adventures on the big screen in the living room. The credits roll, the music plays, and off you are reliving the experience one more time in glorious technicolor.
Well, with five episodes of Trippin on Two Wheels under our belts the truth, is it’s a long way from the idea most people have when you tell them you are shooting television in Europe. But, before I get into the mechanics of making a show though, let me introduce you to the cast of people that’s needed to make it all work.
Trip Master D. Better known as Dennis Gage the face of Speed TVs’ highly popular car show, My Classic Car. Dennis is the voice of reason for our crazy, traveling circus. A long time motorcycle nut with seven machines currently in his collection, Dennis has been riding motorcycles for more than 30 years now. Responsible for planning, logistics, budgets, and keeping the crew in line, a bit like herding cats
Bubba Fish. Occasionally referred to as Morrow Fisher, the owner of Fish Eye Video, “The Fish” as he is mostly called is one of the country’s top cameramen, counting Speed and ESPN as his main clients. With a full dance card, he is a very hard man to track down for these shows, but his unique style and phenomenal work ethic ensures we couldn’t do it without him. Swinging his $100,000 High Def camera around like a teenage skate boarder with a three chip digital video recorder, the Fish is positively crazy. He must be, as he rides on the back of my bike for all the onboard riding shots. And if you are familiar with the series, you will know this means rain, snow, hail on some of the most treacherous roads imaginable. The good news is it ensures some of the most incredible shots you will see on television.
