We now use the modern equipment that is widely available to everyone. We moved on to using bullet cameras from DogCam motorsport who are based in the UK and they were pretty good actually, great for night time shooting. It cost about £5,000 and the quality wasn’t the best if you look back at them now. Of course twelve years ago there were no GoPro cameras and so we had to use quite a large Sony camera taped to the tank. So I sat down with some friends and we agreed to make a video that was completely real and to make it as crazy as possible, I think we achieved that with the first movie. Although I have to tell you that everything they did was fake! The police in the videos were fake, the speeds were fake, it was all set up. The main reason behind ‘Ghostrider’ was because of this Swedish car film called ‘Getaway in Stockholm’. In the end there was such a demand for a follow up that we ended up making a sequel and then a third a fourth and so on. Ghostrider: It all started back in 2002 with ‘Ghostrider – The Final Ride’ which seems like an odd title to use seeing as it was our first video, the truth is there was only ever meant to be one film and nothing more.īack then the internet was really exploding with popularity and our video spread like wildfire. SuperBike: What was your inspiration to start making the Ghostrider movies? His films have been big underground hits, with the crazy road riding, police chases and high-speed stunts cheering up thousands of bikers for years. Widely rumoured to be Patrik Fürstenhoff plus his mates, the black-clad stunt rider did the Top Gear ‘Stig’ thing early on, and keeps his identity under wraps. Based in Sweden, Ghostrider’s been making films about high-speed road rides for more than a decade.
