Twin brothers embark on a 1,000 mile mountain bike journey exploring the entire California Coast, to capture it's essence on camera.

"AS LONG AS I LIVE
I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing.
I'll interpret the rocks,
Learn the language of the flood, storm,
and the avalanche.
I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers
and wild gardens,
And get as near the heart of the world as I can."
-John Muir

THE PROJECT:
Twin brothers Jeff & David Huting will embark on a 1,000+ mile mountain bike journey, on a photographic mission to explore and capture the natural beauty & essence of the California Coast as never seen before. They'll then use their footage to create a stunning gallery of fine art canvas prints.
____________________________________________________________
We're fueling this journey completely from the natural beauty that lies along the California Coast: pristine beaches, redwood forests, waterfalls, and coastal villages. In the old world adventure of exploration, we're going to be focused on taking all routes less traveled, meaning we're going to be biking directly on the shore, staying as close the the ocean as possible for the entire journey, camping under the stars every night. Using the fresh ocean air as our fuel, we'll bike nearly 1,000 miles, from the Northern tip all the down to the Mexican Border.
WHY WE NEED YOUR SPONSORSHIP:
Our goal for this journey is not only to take inspiration from California, but give it back to our sponsors. We're hoping to open some eyes and turn some heads, not just because of what we're doing, but also how, and why. But we can't do it without your support; to be able to create this stunning collection, we need funds to cover gear, editing, and printing costs.
OUR PRIMARY GOAL WITH THIS PROJECT:
1. To INSPIRE others by creating a limited edition, stunning collection of Fine Art Gallery Wrapped Prints.
Other Important Goals:
2. To raise valuable donation dollars for environmental organizations to help protect & preserve California's coast. (Almost all of our sponsorship packages include donations.)
3. To raise awareness about how we all can enjoy the beauty of our surroundings on bicycle, for FREE, with ZERO gas burned or tailpipe emissions.

HOW WE PLAN TO GIVE OUR INSPIRATION BACK TO OUR SPONSORS
As if the satisfaction of knowing you're helping INSPIRE people from around the world, PRESERVE California's natural beauty, and DOCUMENT in time forever one of the most beautiful places on the planet isn't enough, we've put together an impressive array of Sponsorship packages starting at just $10 that includes:
LIMITED EDITION HAND SIGNED PRINTS

Immediately after completing our journey, we'll create a custom, unique collection of beautiful prints for our sponsors featuring some of our favorite images from the coast. Each will be printed on a high quality glossy photo paper and will come hand-signed, directly from Jeff & Dave.
INSPIRATIONAL FINE ART GALLERY WRAPPED CANVAS PRINTS:
A LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION

The fine art collection will be called "Capturing The California Coast on Canvas" and will consist of an epic collection of limited edition prints captured throughout our journey. All of our sponsors will be the first to view these big, beautiful pieces, and there will only be a small number of each piece ever printed.
About the canvases: Museum-sized and ready to hang, these beautiful pieces are backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and the costs of shipping are included in sponsorship.
About the gallery & release date: To make it possible for everyone involved to be part of the release, we're going to place our California Coast gallery online on EpicWallArt.com, in a limited edition collection. The specific date will be released once our journey ends. All of our sponsors will receive an email link to view the gallery before it is publicly released, where they can select their piece.
