Oli and I have been working on a couple projects together and one day he said: " Hej, let's do a traildog video with my dog Balu!"
Balu is supersweet, but young and wild and kinda crazy. And since this is a passion project, there was no budget to pay helpers. So it was only me and Oli, 50 pounds of equipment and some looong trails to cover.
Also, we both didn't know how Balu would perform and if we would be able to get the shoot done at all.
But surprisingly, everything worked out just perfect. Balu is such a natural and Oli is always a huge pleasure to work with.
We hope you enjoy our little story.
Shot on Sony FS 5, Atomos Shogun, Sony Alpha 7SII and Phantom 4

Used to love riding my bike with my dogs. Be careful, Dogs don't always know when to rest. i heard a really sad story of a guy who's dog passed unexpectedly early. When the Vet did an autopsy they said the dog passed from working too hard for too long, ie : extended bike rides at a pace too fast for the dogs to sustain. There were days when I injured my dogs cuz i was riding too fast and they were trying to keep up. Luckily for me and them a limp for a couple days went away and they are fine. Now when i ride with them, its for them, not both of us, slower pace and not very exciting for me, but its for them.
this!!
i was thinking about that when i was watching the video. dogs are just gonna give all they have to keep up with you without seeing what they do to them self.
perfect, good to see people taking themselves back for their dogs. oli is supercareful with Balu. They usually do 2-3 runs together, then Balu goes to sleep and Oli keeps on training & goes much faster without the dog.
Look at that head angle, that dog has an amazing race geometry.
true, Balu is an incredible trail dog!
No
That is not geometry.
Thats called cheating.
I would like to put up a chicken wire fence across those corners to stop that dog from cheating.
Great short film...as a one time avid/amateur racer this reminded me of my dog Buddy who was a great trail dog. He would pick the smoothest lines and could go for hours. One day Buddy and I went on a group ride and a snarky local pro said if the dog went missing we weren't going to look or wait for him. Buddy promptly went over to his team issued bike and peed on the front tire to the amusement of the group. It was a monster six hour day on the trail. Buddy led the way, slowed only to drink from rivers and quickly made his way to the front. By days end...that local pro had been humbled and couldn't believe the stamina Buddy had.
Buddy did eventually slow...and is no longer with us...but now is hopefully and happily running the trails of the good Lords kingdom.
This was me and my Lab Teddy until he reached 8 years and his elbows started getting stiff, so I started trail running with him and at 12 years old he's still racing me up and down the trails. The best times we could ever have together!
Sweet! Your lab is a happy pup!
You have fox suspension and your dog has dog suspension
💪🏽
Makes me tear up everytime I watch it. I lost my Dog a few years back and still miss him like it was yesterday, the day i hugged him the last time before he got to run in dog heaven. This video reminds me so much of all the good times I had with him. Thanks for sharing this.
So sorry to hear that, its the worst thing to loose them way too soon...I'm glad if this video helps a bit! :)
A year old video but seems like just recently youtube's algorithm decided to work it's magic for many of us. And I'm happy that it did!
There's a second video posted just two weeks back
Ditto to your comment! Amazing video
Ditto
Mee too :) I think its beacause we released part 2 and that got this one on the rec list back again
I actually kinda looked for this video lol
I lost my canine running companion Barley just last June and I miss him so, so much.
Thank you for triggering some great memories and some tears.
So sorry, Carl. We've lost two of our three adventure boys since May. One to old age and the other to cancer. They, literally, had thousands of trail, bike, and river miles behind them. The pain is real and deep but, oh, those sweet memories....
gosh, thats so hard, I can't even think about loosing my pup one day...But I'm glad the movie did his job for you!
Sorry to hear it. I feel you...lost my guy over a year ago now and I still miss him. Theres a part 2 if your up for more!
Love trail dogs, its a very unique feeling knowing they are right by your side while shredding the downhill.
when the dog has better suspension then your bike
hahaa...yes, all natural ;)
Reminds me of Oscar. I spent nearly all my time as a kid riding motorcycles along trails just like this. Crazy dog would go ape shit crazy to get the chance to run along with me. I mean miles and miles of running. Start my bike and no matter where he was, he would come a running knowing we were going on an adventure. Dogs really are like no other creature on this earth. They’re a special kind of friend.
40 something year old female here. I used to do this all the time in my late teens with my German Shepherd "Baron". And no, I never ran her over. You learn to communicate with each other so that doesn't happen.
Thanks for bringing back some great memories!!!
Man... the cinematography is astonishing!
Is this what heaven looks like ?
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Friendship in it's purest form!
Honestly what kind of no-life dislikes this video
Cats!
Every Mountain Biker’s dream.
At least of some mountain bikers. Definitely mine :)
I like how the dog takes the racing line
he's a natural...or he learned from his dad..
hope you two will be riding together for a long long time
Awesome video. I ran long distances all my life, but in 2004 I had an accident that left me on a wheelchair for 14 months and the need for 10 surgeries throughout 7 years. I suffer from chronic pain and can't even walk half a mile without ending up suffering pain afterwards; but I love to see these videos and see how others enjoy outdoors activities with their dogs. People who can do these things and stay at home on a couch, acting as if they would be the ones who had an accident, are letting the best of life pass them by.
I lost my best friend, riding buddy pup 2 years ago at 10yo. He loved ripping up the trails, taking a break, listening to me talk and sleeping when we got back home. He would jump up if I said “bike?” and was ready to go. Taught me a lot about being in the moment.
Wow, thats strong. Thank you! Hope you have a new best friend soon...
Oh my god
The film is so cute and so emotional ♥️🐶
Dogs are your real, own and best friends ♥️🐶
Lost my German Shepherd, “Hector” 🐺 a year and half ago. Wish I could have taught him to MTB with me. This was an awesome and inspiring video. Best MTB/dog video I’ve ever seen. Brought me to tears and brought back fond memories of my best friend. Thank you for making and sharing this video!!!
So sorry for your loss! Its sweet to hear that our movie is touching so many people and is bringing back awesome memories!
@@SayMahalo I was crying like a little baby, that pure hapiness of this awesome duo, so amazing video! Thank you!
I have an Australian Shepard that loves riding trails. She runs in front, sticks to the trail, wont go too far ahead and we come to a fork, she waits to see what direction we go. She just loves to go on bike rides
Aussies are just made for stuff like this :)
I'm crying with sheer joy and feeling like a fool...
And then I read the comments and realize I;m not alone.
You guys have nailed it. Keep up the amazing work.
:)
Not lost on me is how good of a rider that guy is. Phenomenal riding!
I lost my faithful lab in 2013. I still miss her. So glad to see you are enjoying every moment with such a true companion. Thanks for sharing.
So sorry Jay! I know how that feels, I couldn't say my pups name for 4 years without bursting into tears.
This is what TH-cam is for. I had a huge smile on my face the whole time. Thanks for that 🙏
After seeing your film my wife went and surprised me with a puppy, and yes it’s an Aussie.
He’s called Charley and he’s my new best friend. Just another 7 months and he will be hitting the trails with me anyway thanks for the inspirational film👍👍💪👊
Thank you! Hope you and Charley will have an amazing time together as well! :)
One of the best if not the best movie i seen on this platform. Thank you guys
Wow, I find it amazing that there are 152 life-hating losers that actually put a thumbs down on this great video.
I totally agree man... fucking life-hating losers
how could you find it in yourself to dislike this lol
Probably cat people that just hate dogs
all cats :)
How could anyone dislike this video it’s amazing
Thanks Luke...its probably cats
Wow ... this is one the most beautiful and happy videos i have ever seen...
beautiful dog, I,ve lost mine due to sickness from which he could not recover, a Nova Duck Tolling Retriever , named Pelle, so cherish the time you spent with the dog, a mate for life
Can't find the words... just... wonderful!
I watching this from a chair on dialysis... what a dream you have there.
Hope for your speedy recovery
Soon u will be recovered and gonna rock this world...
OMG, this is hard.
I wish you the very best, lots of power and love and joy and that you will get everything you need. Maybe a new kidney?
I pray for you. 😇♡
Very good luck for you! 🍀🐞🍀🐞🍀🐞🍀🐞🍀🐞🍀🐞🍀🐞🍀🐞🍀🐞🍀🐞
@@katievonolendorp5894 yeah, new kidney would be great. I am already after 2 transplants, so it´s nothing new, yet it´s harsh tho..
Hej, thank you for watching and commenting. I'm very sorry for you & really hope you will get the right kidney one day & live healthy. Good luck!!!
For me .. one of the best video for last couple months!! Super cool!
Thank you Lukas! Thats supernice!
Perfect video: professional edit, storyboard and great shots!
Thank you Joel! Much appreciated!
Why am I crying 😭
Perfect. Job done ;)
This turned out SO great! Thanks for bringing me on board to voice the very talented (and adorable) Balu! 😄
Greg!! You did the best Job!!! Your voice is upgrading this film so much! Thanks again!!! Was awesome working ith you :)
This is such a beautiful and well crafted video loved it
Thank you so much :)
Passion project? Bloody successfully projected, mate! This was great! Absolutely gorgeous to watch on all fronts!
Wow, thanks sid! Thats great to hear as it was only me and the rider Oli on this. Never thought it would turn in such a nice piece, but I'm very happy with it now :)
The algorithm brought us all together once again!
lucky me ;)
I love the moments every time the dog looked back to the rider.
Oh my god... It's so
beautiful! I love it! Now I go outside with my dog to ride some trails! This video touches me so much! Thanks for that! I love it so much!
Just had to cry really, it is soo beautiful!
Please make a movie out of this beautiful video!
I would watch it a thausand times!
Thanks for this video! It's so wonderfull!
thanks
Oh, thats a very emotional comment, thank you. I'm happy we could touch you so deep :)
That is as quality as a large scale movie
Wow thanks! The quality of my technical filming still needs to improve, but I hope storytelling is on point :)
i LOVED the dog voiceover! Thanks for replying.
I don't know why or how but you just made me cry at a MTB video! Splendid piece of cinematography!
Thank you fred! Such a supernice compliment :)
I had to watch again. All I could think of as Balu roosted the berms and hucked himself over the rocks, "Man, that dog is a world class shredder". Great partnership and stellar video. Absolutely highest quality!!!
Thank you very much! Makes me superhappy to read comments like yours!
AmazIng little short film.
Thank you very much..:)
What a beautiful video! But I admit that I am also a bit worried about the dog getting under the wheels... A mean at that speed you can't brake anymore...
Thank you!!! Oli & Balu are a great team, they know exactly what they do. Never ever happened yet...
One of my favorite scenes is watching dogs go mental when they gets to the beach. Pure unadulterated happiness-i wanna feel that.
Let's thank TH-cam recommendations for bringing all of us together again.
haha...yeeaaahhh...
The. Best. Video. Ever!!!!!!
I agree!!!! 😭
THANK YOU!!!! :)))) Supersweet!
Watch this channel explode any time soon, and I’m glad to say I’m here before that happens!
Haha....wow, thats awesome! I hope you are right ....would be nice to grow this channel a little bit.
@Luke Woodland Thank you for the support! really appreciate it! :)
If you keep this up, no joke, you’ll go big!!
@@ollydickinson2196 Jeezzz....now I'm excited! :-0 Thank you!
Great video! Daisy (my dog) is my number 1 riding buddy. Always ready to go, never cares what trail, and never complains. She has logged 100s of miles in the two years I've had her, and hopefully hundreds more. I am going to get a trailer for my fat bike this spring and see if we can't venture further. She gets pretty pooped after 20 miles.
Lucky pup, your daisy :)
My dog took his last breath last night. He was 13. I miss him dearly
I'm sorry. The best things just always die too early. 😔
@@lild1897 im heartbroken. I just cant seem to get out of bed. He was my best friend. He did everthing with me. I miss him
@@kineticuncertainty yes, i can feel your pain. My dog i grew up with, died when i was in second grade in primary school due a car-accident. what a pain it was ... But it teaches me how to handle pain and the feeling of losing someone. I can remember how we played together and how we ran through the Garden. I miss her, but i know she is now on the right Place.
Ohhhwww.....I'm so sorry!!! Its the hardest thing as a dog owner to go through. I wish they could grow older and stay with us longer..:(
@@kineticuncertainty I'm so so so sorry...it will get better with time, I promise. Went through that and its the worst...
everyone talking about the dog, i'm thinking how this video happen, the drone shot, the cinematic scene, the transition, color grading, etc
You're so edgy..
How is this video from 2018 and it is on my (and many other's) feed?
Well, I'm happy I clicked the video. So beautiful camera work, sweet doggo and like a mini documentary. Made me smile 😊❤
Thank you Maria :) Its because we launched part 2 a couple weeks ago and that led to many people also watching part 1 ...thats why it ended up in recommonations. But we are not complaining :)
Thats by far the best Video i've seen in a long Time!
Dude,this is an amazing video.
Bond between 2 souls that will always be kept forever.
Years ago i had the same advantures like these.
Man i tell you,this video made me cry for real.
Enjoy my friends,explore and keep enjoying.
I wont see anything more amazing than this...
Such an awesome little video. Makes me miss my boy.
Thank you :) Sorry though...
Hey thanks for the response! And no worries...he lived a happy life. The video was great and so is a bunch of other content on this channel!
@@TomyAllen thank you so much, that's super motivating 👏
Awesome video!!!
Thank you :)
who ever disliked this video your are a monster
Adrian Revill it’s just the australian mountain bike riders who are upside down and they thought it was the like button
jatzzed I managed to click it fine
cats!
The_Baker who asked for your input?
jatzzed No, I managed to click the like button fine
What a stunning and warm film.
Most wholesome video for months.
That’s what heaven is going to be like
I take my dog to the trails nearly every day. I am the only one at the trails that does this. I always get asked how I trained him to follow me. I don't have a good answer. He just does. Mine never leads though. Always trails. Great footage BTW.
A lot of Dogs just learn by doing. Balu is a natural and he just wanted to lead & is supergood at it. No way he would follow...I think that would drive him nuts..:)
one of the greatest vids ive ever seen :D
Thank you, such a great compliment! :-D
"Because all I want is to make him happy". I actually cryed then 😅.
:)))) Thanks!
Great footage, excellent riding and an awesome best friend you got there... You made my day.
Thank you! Glad you like it!
that dog was scrubbing all the jumps and drops perfectly
thats what epic traildogs do :-)
This could be a movie trailer
Thank you!!!!
Beautiful video, I had tears in my eyes watching this & a smile on my face :-)
Mountain biking, a dog, majestic place and a Land Rover. Couldn't ask more.
For anyone who’s had a best friend like that and enjoyed life together in the same ways and who’s lost a friend like that those are the words of your best friend. I miss you every day my sweet doggie Bailey.....
The best dog video I've ever seen in my life. Hands down.
Oh wow, thats quite a compliment! Thank you very much!
The sweetest video I have watched today !!!
Man, dog, life. Thank you.
You're welcome! :)
One of the most beautiful videos I've watched in 2019. Great job.
Thank you Isaac! Very nice :)
Okay. I'm going to fly back home and tell my dog I love him
do it :)
Life goals! Thanks for this inspiring video! :) Can't stop smiling!
What a thing to behold.
Thank u for making, absolutely amazing, both of u.
Thank you :)
man's best friend and mountain biking two of the best things in the world
Why am I smiling while watching this,
This made me emotional🥺
Thank you!!! :)
Exceptional footage! Goes straight to the 💕!
Thank you!!! :)
This how you make a man cry
haha...ok, thats cool! :)
One of the best video I've ever seen.
Thank you! :) Thats very sweet of you :)
This brings tears to my eyes because it reminds me what I loved to do with my furry friend Spike, to be in nature, just two of us in the woods....but he is gone now, earlier than it should be, earlier than I could have imagine, and I had to be the one who said last word to put him asleep to get him from pain. I miss you Spike, miss you so much...every single day and it gets harder and harder to be alone again...there will be no other like you.
My heart goes out to you man... I can't imagine what it's like to lose such a close friend...
Why am I crying?
Seriously best video on youtube. 😍
Wow Lars, thats a huge compliment, thank you!!!
Doggo has some sick scrubs
This dog never needs Cesar Millan! 😄👍🏻😁
I don't understand people to buy a dog because of its image, reputation or beauty.
We all should look for the soul that fits best to ours.
I like Maremmani and they are best for me and me I am right for them. ♡
But such a dog would not get such adventures with me and this would be too sad for it.
Look at this happy face and this love.
Oli and Balu are a dream team! ♡♡♡
hahaa..no, Balu won't need that guy. He's a happy pup..:)
Typical mtn bike trail, so smooth it looks paved.
2:26 the switching scenes after Balu's butt was majestic. mesmerizing.
Thank you ! Most people don't even see that transition :)
Absolutely fantastic and wonderful , dogs are really men's best friends !!!!
Thank you, they absolutely are
A bike and a dog! What else does a guy need?! Love the video!
What a great film. Thanks
I just love it when the dogg looks back like hey, catch up slowpoke.
