The shooting of the bike movie Signatures is on hold due to the upcoming winter season. Meanwhile, the SIGNATURES Crew is working hard on the editing, so that in Spring everything will be ready. To make all that waiting a little bit easier for you, they released some photos and a short video from the shooting in the Ore Mountains, where they spent the last sunny days of autumn.

Tomáš Slavík and Johannes Fischbach enjoyed riding together in the Czech-German border region. After two years, these two ex-rivals from the fourcross tracks have met again to compete. This time, they have exchanged their race machines for enduro Ghost RIOT bikes and went riding on the trails surrounding the Klínovec mountain, Nové Hamry town and the German Rabenberg mountain.

The Ore Mountains are beautiful, even more in autumn. To spend 6 days shooting, have the perfect weather and awesome riders… we couldn’t possibly wish for more.
