The video shows a little bit of a lovely pedestrian and bicycle trail in the making that starts at the Delta Heritage Trail State Park near Helena. Currently, about 15 miles of soft-surface trail are finished between Lexa and Lakeview, Arkansas, along the abandoned Union Pacific railroad spur that ran another 60 miles south almost to McGehee. Plans are to continue rebuilding the trail all the way to end up with about 75 miles of bicycle trail. Again, I borrowed some tunes from Ezra and Keith.

Hey Charlie,
Great video! How did you do that? Looked like you had a camera crew with you.

I've got a small coterie of crew: a gaffer, a key grip, a location scout, a stunt coordinator and an assistant to the director. I had extra time that day and didn't have to worry about traffic on the heritage trail, so I shot a variety of shots. The over-the-shoulder shot took about three takes to get. The camera kept sliding sideways as I pedaled, so the horizon kept sliding and making it look like I was bicycling off the edge of the earth. A couple of the edits are still very abrupt, but not too bad for work on the road.
