BICYCLE BANKING RIG

The Bicycle Banking Rig is a unique additional equipment option which can be used in conjunction with a number of our tracking vehicles, from our Trojan Elite up to our Silverado Elite, depending on location limitations and shot requirements.

The Bicycle banking rig is an A-Frame system which connects to the host motorcycle directly through its front wheel spindle, this attaches to the tracking vehicle (Tow-Vehicle) by means of a electrically powered hydraulic lean simulation unit, this allows a Bickers operator to lean the Bicycle as it negotiates corners, thus giving the appearance of free riding, the camera angle can be low enough to capture both front and rear wheel rotation during the riding sequence.

The distance between the Bike and Tow Vehicle can be altered using our range of different lengths of bars, and these can be manufactured for specific requirements.

The Bicycle banking rig gives the full control of the bicycle to the Bickers operator, thus enabling the cast member to act without having the ability to ride a bicycle.

This equipment has been used on a number of Feature Films Including, James Bond, Mission Impossible 5 and Fast & Furious 6.
