JAY SCHWEITZER: PRODUCER - EDITOR - FILMMAKER

I started my Career at Sierra Nevada College in Lake Tahoe where I graduated with a bachelors degree in Business Administration with a minor in Electronic Arts. It was at SNC where I began to intern for Mack Dawg Productions, the leading snowboard film company in the world. Mike taught me the basics of filming and editing. After I graduated college, I hooked up with Kurt Haller owner of MOTO XXX. I helped Kurt run his business up in Santa Barbara, CA. My tasks included operating the race team, creating and implementing the first freestyle team with Carey Hart and Mike Cinqmars. In addition I made the MOTO XXX 3-6 videos with Kurt where I organized film shoots, shot and edited the videos. We created the ultimate punk rock music dvd called Eargasm. Eargasm features live performances from top bands such as NOFX, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Strung Out and many more. In 2002 I produced Mad Mikes Mayhem. In 2003 I was approached by Transworld Motocross Magazine to make their first ever motocross film Crush.

After Crush, I decided to fulfill the demand to the motocross enthusiasts and show more natural terrain riding. Freestyle motocross had progressed with tricks, however the trend had taken it more to ramp riding instead of freeriding in the hills. I got together with Doug Parsons and created the first ever-natural terrain competition known as Ride to the Hills. I produced a half hour TV show for the Fuel TV Network on the contest. In 2004, I hooked up with my old boss Mike McEntire (A.K.A) Mack Dawg Productions and produced On the Pipe. For this film, I decided to take a chance and build all my own natural terrain jumps on private ranch properties known as Danimals and Jackpot Ranch.

We created huge 180-foot hill jumps, off camber hips, step-downs, cliff drops and other various freeride phenomenons. On the Pipe features the top riders in the world including RC, MC, Bubba Stewart. Ride to the Hills became such a success that Red Bull approached me to become partners with us for 2005. In 2005 we produced the Red Bull Ride to the Hills which was shown on NBC Jeep Adventure series and also on Showtime Network. In December 2005 we released On the pipe 2 "Still Smokin". In June of 2006 I completed a half hour show for Fuel Network on Ryan Capes 310 foot World Record jump. We are currently filming for On the Pipe 3 which already features bigger jump and more technical riding. On the Pipe 3 will release November 2006. The next Red Bull Ride to the Hills will be Octover 20th –October 30th 2006. In May 2007 we will release Eargasm 2 which features live music performances from The Offspring, Social Distortion, AFI, SEX Pistols, Rancid, Circle Jerks and more.
