Viasakhi Celebrations at Fosse Park

Fosse Park Ave, Leicester LE19 1HY, UK

I visited Fosse Park for an unforgettable celebration of Vaisakhi, the most significant event in the Sikh calendar, It was a day filled with cultural vibrancy, exhilarating displays, and tasty treats.
We meet the bright orange Turbaned Riders from the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK as they showcase their stunning motorbikes. Marvel at the craftsmanship, pride and care taken in their customised rides. Immerse yourself in the rhythmic beats and energetic movements of traditional Bhangra dancers and Dhol players. Feel the pulse of the celebration as you dance along to the infectious music. Learn the art of turban tying from experts who will guide you through the intricate process. Discover the significance of the turban in Sikh culture. Don`t try this at home !, Witness the mesmerising skill and precision of Gatka, the traditional Sikh martial art. Be captivated by the fluid movements and rich heritage as trained practitioners demonstrate this ancient form of combat. Indulge your sweet tooth with complimentary samples of delicious Jalebi, a beloved Indian sweet treat. Savior the flavours sights and sounds of Vaisakhi as you enjoy this sweet delight with friends and family.

BMX National Series at Huncote Hornets, Leicestershire

The 29th and 30th September 2018 saw the #BMX National Series come to #Leicester Huncote Hornets BMX track, The event (rescheduled due to weather issues in early spring) saw riders of all ages arrive in the Leicestershire town from across the country to do battle on the Hornets BMX track behind the Pavilion leisure center. My film aims to give a sense of the race atmosphere on day two of the event where a dramatically cloudy sky and lighting gave a cinematic feel to races on the track. Hold on tight this is a fast one !.

The Paris - Roubaix Bike Race - April 2013

My film features the professional (and dusty !) Paris - Roubaix Bike Race which took place in April 2013 and was filmed at various locations along the route in France. The Race takes place (as its name suggests) on a route between Paris and Roubaix in northern France and is famous for its rough terrain and cobblestones which often cause riders to fall and gives the race its nickname of 'The Hell of the North & 'A Sunday in Hell'. The event was first run in 1896 and as one of cycling's oldest races draws large crowds from many country's. The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufacturers, Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez.
