AARON COLTON SHREDS THE CF MOTO X RSD IBEX 450 VANDAL

Long Beach transforms into a high-octane stage as pro rider Aaron Colton carves through alleyways and industrial backroads with surgical precision. At the heart of the action is a custom RSD x CF MOTO machine — a stripped-down weapon of torque and control — built for this exact kind of chaos. With echoes of gymkhana and a nod to street-riding roots, the piece delivers a raw, cinematic look at what happens when rider and machine move as one in the middle of urban grit.

Behind the lens and deep in the edit bay, Joseph Hitzelberger brought the vision to life as editor, photographer, and sound designer. The dynamic cuts, immersive audio, and carefully framed visuals don’t just follow Colton — they amplify him. Each screech, rev, and frame is crafted to pull the viewer into the ride, blurring the line between cinematic storytelling and high-performance action. It’s not just about showing the speed — it’s about making you feel it.

The project was driven by a powerhouse crew: directed and produced by Roland Sands, with Alex Jacobs as Director of Photography, supported by Adam Katzner and Theo Malkin on camera. Garrett Lee Daniels captured sweeping aerials, while Stuart Hammond handled the color grade, and Nate Richter documented behind the scenes. It’s a testament to what happens when precision riding meets precision filmmaking — a collaboration built on trust, grit, and a shared obsession with going full throttle.
