The Richie Schley Chronicles

Video of Richie's Favourite Rides

Date: 2008-11-05

Freeride legend Richie Schley has been featured in more videos than Peter North. After spending so much time in front of the camera it's no shock that Richie was ready to seize some creative control; "I was really tired of wasting time on shoots and having to convince cameramen and producers that a shot was worthy, so I thought it would be great to ultimately have the final say.  I also feel that I have a pretty good sense for what it takes to get the job done. That’s why I decided to produce my own video for a change."

Schley hired Darcy Whitenburg (lead camera) and Colin Jones (edit, camera), two of the crew that produced Roam and The Collective, to film him over a period of three months at his favourite riding locations in Whistler, Squamish and Pemberton. After a total of eleven days of filming and eight days of editing, the Richie Schley Chronicles are a wrap. “It was a very refreshing experience. Darcy and CJ worked well with me and let me know when I was wrong about a call I made. This is a video I can really identify with because it shows my favourite type of riding."

 

What do you think of Richie's collaboration with Anthill Films? (check out the sick Anthill Demo Reel) Does he "a pretty good sense for what it takes to get the job done?"  Pony up your review of Richie's short here...
