Tropical Cyclocross from Tony Blazejack on Vimeo.
I received quite a bit of inquiries about my next project, the as-of-yet-unnamed "Ghostbike" short, and hopefully I can clarify what's going on.
Sunday's memorial ride was staggering, to say the least, with cyclists completely encompassing the Bear Cut bridge base-to-base on the west side of the causeway. I was with the individual who pieced together and painted the ghost bike that was placed at the location of Christophe LeCanne's needless and horrific incident, and he agreed to let me film the entire process.
The piece is about 70% complete as I type this, and I am hoping to find a local musician to complement the video with original music. If you or anyone you know is up to this, please do not hesitate to contact me (tony.blazejack@gmail.com). I am up for nearly any style/genre/whatever so long as it matches the mood of what I recorded and it is original. Please spread the word.
As of now, my intentions are to complete this project and submit it to various film festivals. Until then, I intend to "keep it under wraps," save for a special screening or two. Keep checking back for progress, updates, and possibly a trailer.
Thanks,
- tony

Intended as a slow motion test, it came out on the fun side. That particular barrier was the bane of my existence for seven trying laps. Here's how the better riders do it.
Miami Cyclocross - 2010 from Tony Blazejack on Vimeo.
Mud, waffles, cowbells, and all the madness that exemplifies cyclocross are usually reserved for the fall in most parts of the country. In South Florida, however, the season just got started.
The Oleta River Adventure Association (ORAA) hosted a weekend of 'cross racing January 9-10 at the Oleta River State Park. Saturday's race featured high winds, constant rain and temperatures in the low 40's. The skies let up on Sunday, but thermometers continued to drop into the low 30's - featuring one of the coldest days in Miami in a decade.
Spectators were treated to coffee, donuts and waffles, and cheered on racers battling it out on two different and very challenging courses over the weekend.
Note: The footage shown here is from Sunday, January 10. I was too busy racing, helping with the course, and trying to stave off hypothermia on Saturday to shoot. Big thanks to John Voss, the ORAA, and Mother Nature for putting on such a fun event.
