During Interbike, I was fortunate enough to get an early look at the final “Cool Story Bro” video from Mutiny Bikes. The video is the final part of a series of web videos that have dropped over the past year giving us a closer look into the lives of team riders Josh Bedford, Matt Roe, Justin Simpson, Brandon Hoerres and Tom “Robbo” Robinson. The final video features the riding footage that was saved during the filming of each of the original profiles along with with a ton of footage from the rest of the team.
I was going to drop a review tonight, thinking the video was dropping tomorrow, but now that it’s online, I figured I’ll just the rambling I would do talking about how good the riding footage from the team is and the film work that Richard Forne did for this one, and just let you enjoy it. I have also embedded all of the original Cool Story Bro videos for you to go back and enjoy again! So without further adieu, hit that play button to enjoy… Bro.
“The final video from our Cool Story Bro series. Filmed in the USA, Spain, France, Germany and England from January to August 2013. Featuring Robbo, Matt Roe, Josh Bedford, Justin Simpson, Brandon Hoerres, Grant Castelluzzo and more.

“As Josh has French roots we thought it would be rather fitting to fly him out to Lyon, France to film for our Cool Story Bro project.
I can’t think of a better way to describe Josh’s style as less is more. He’s not swayed by what’s cool or what others are doing. Since appearing on the scene with the opener in Joe Cox’s legendary video; Voices, Josh has always been pedaling full speed and keeping things interesting.

“We are proud to release the first in our new series of videos called, Cool Story Bro. The idea behind this series is to show you a little insight into the guys on the team, on and off their bikes.
A few months ago, Robbo sent me a link to a few Monster Rally tracks. Just like Robbo, I was immediately a fan. That much so, I reached out to the band to see if they would be interested in working together on some sort of project. They are kindly going to be supplying the tunes for all these videos.
As Robbo introduced us to Monster Rally, it seems fitting that his Cool Story Bro is first.

“Next up in the Cool Story Bro series is Texas born George Boyd, who recently made the move out west to Los Angeles. Spare 5 minutes and 4 seconds of your time to learn a little more about George; from raunchy meat to being positive to awesome ditches this has you covered.

“Bad weather and a rolled ankle on the 1st day of filming were 2 of the cards Brandon was dealt for his Cool Story Bro filming session. Never the less we are proud to present the next chapter in the Cool Story Bro series. Ladies and gentlemen meet the one and only Brandon Hoerres.

“Mellow he is not! Justin does whatever he’s doing cranked all the way to 11. From riding to holding it down as front man of his new band Hot Rails. It’s all or nothing for the Hemi Dragon. We spent a week with him in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio of course the weather sucked and it was cold as balls but nothing can stop Justin.

“On and off the bike this dude never ceases to amaze and inspire those around him. Liquid comes to mind when I think about Roey’s riding, it all looks so good and effortless. Get a little insight into the one and only Mathew Peter Roe.
