Maybe you've seen many [BMX bike videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rcyl-bike) or maybe this is your first, but either way, how many are filmed as gracefully and serene as the Mutiny Bikes Heli Test 1 clip?

Mutiny Bikes is a well-known bike manufacturer based in Austin, Texas. It turns out the crew is quite crafted with the camera as well as it's evident in this clip. The Mutiny Bikes Heli Test 1 shows those behind the brand having some fun with an [RC helicam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-gaiden-4). The result? A very relaxing clip that shows off BMX riders in a calm relaxing manner from a bird's-eye view. Perhaps it's the fact that Fleet Foxes is playing in the background or the way it's filmed, but you almost view the riders in a ballet-like motion. It looks like BMX videos don't always need punk rock and hip hop to make them more enjoyable.
