Ho-La-La-La
A Motorcycle Adventure
Project Outline
Mexico is a land of unexplored secrets that are hidden in its mountains, seas and most of all--its people.
Mexico, a misunderstood place Canadians tend to only scratch the sunny, sandy surface of. On this six-month excursion adventure filmmaker Dale Bailey and sponsored skateboarder Ryan Fyfe-Brown hope to dig deeper into it. This six-part series will follow these two friends brought together by skateboarding, but made inseparable while freight-train hopping across the United States.
They hope to explore these dusty deserts and unexplored concrete jungles with the only way to access it all; dual sport motorcycles, skateboards, and tents. Along the way they will rendezvous with old friends and high level sponsored skateboarders and surfers from Canada, Mexico and the United States.

This series would have parallels to another Vice series “Doin’ It Baja”, but with a greater focus on street skateboarding, surfing, off-road motorcycling and wild camping. For motorcycle shooting style a strong reference would be:
