Ryan Villopoto, 2 Be Continued

2012

He's won everything there is to win. Yet, Ryan Villopoto is the most private, reserved and soft-spoken individual in the sport. Hailing from the school of walking softly and carrying a big stick, the supremely talented and fiercely determined athlete lets his riding - and winning ways - do the talking. To that end, Volcom set out to peel back the layers and dig out the soul and charisma of the champion. We traveled the nation over, meeting family, friends, industry members and a hero to discover the real RV. What we found, well, we'll let the film and Ryan do the talking.

The Great Outdoors: American Summer

2010

Summertime in America... For most, it means swimming pools, baseball, and beaches, but to a select few, to our people, the summer means only one thing...Outdoor Motocross. All access was granted by the world's best riders. The TGO crew stepped inside their boots, showcasing their lives during the week and at the races. A first for the series is this intimate look at our MX heroes and their families as they attempt to take on the toughest sport out there. In the 450 class, an unlikely champion was crowned. American hopefuls Mike Alessi, Andrew Short and Josh Grant faced off against the 2 time SX Champion, Australia's Chad Reed. Injuries, drama, and surprise performances turned the season upside down. The 250's battled all summer long with an eclectic and world-class line up. As the season came down to the wire, Team Suzuki's Ryan Dungey and Pro Circuit's Christophe Pourcel traded blows respectively, only to end in heartache for one and triumph for the other.

Transworld Motocross: 6ix

2006

If you’ve become bored with the standard, cookie-cutter format of today’s motocross videos, TransWorld Motocross has the cure for you with their latest feature, 6IX. Rather than a bunch of random riding thrown together with music, the producers of 6IX have stepped up to offer a docutainment-style film that closely profiles six of the sport’s top athletes.

Movie

The Great Outdoors: Industrial Strength

2006

This year's movie Industrial Strength is about teamwork. It's those behind the glory that tell the story of what it takes to compete. The crew again adapts a classic sports-journalism style. We mic the tire guys, engine guys, suspension technicians, mechanics and team managers who are the strength behind riders such as Ricky Carmichael, Ryan Villopoto and Davi Millsaps. Often overlooked, they are the integral piece behind the makings of a champion. A focus on each team is the framework for this year's movie. Nine teams are highlighted and their stories inter-woven in a sixty minute saga. Of course there is no shortage of high-speed action and slo-mo cinematography that has been the trademark of the TGO series. This ever-evolving series continues to deliver a fly-on-the wall perspective of what goes on before, during and after the motos.
