Video Contest for the Days at Home
Cleary + Yakima are here to set you up for some fun

Let’s turn this lockdown upside-down! These weeks offer a rare opportunity to spend time with our kids. Trying to engage and direct little ones can be challenging. It can also be fun. (Likely, it’ll be a mix of both.) Roll up your sleeves, wash your hands and get psyched for Cleary + Yakima’s Super Amazing Video Contest. 

Rally your kids, a camera/phone and your collective imagination. Head outside and video your crew doing something awesome. Your short film doesn’t have to include a bike . . . but why not throw some ride shots in there? Bonus points for musical score, special effects and any Princess Bride reference. The goal here is fun. Your video doesn’t have to be perfect - in fact, nowhere near is great. We’re awarding A’s for effort!

You think you’ll make it? It doesn’t take a miracle! Your 7-year-old can teach you how to film in slo-mo. Your Gecko rider can narrate and probably offer valuable insight into post-production edits. The goal here is fun. Your video doesn’t have to be perfect - in fact, nowhere near is great. We’re awarding A’s for effort! Stay safe and have fun storming the castle!

11 Things to do With Your Kids While Stuck at Home

  1. Use a paper map (!) to plot a bike ride through a forest trail network or neighborhood and then have your kid be the navigator/map reader. It's ok to get lost and we highly recommend channeling your inner Planet Earth narrative voice-over.
  2. Bike picnic. Pack a special lunch and get out. Turn your adventure into a documentary.
  3. Rockets made from a plastic bottle, baking soda & vinegar. It's a blast! Who doesn’t love to blow things up? Huge opportunity for special effects here!
  4. Slackline. Shoot this in slow-mo, sped-up, or lots of clips edited together. The magic here happens post production.
  5. Try to make a fire without matches. Supervision is key here, but it’s totally doable. EurekaCamping has some great ideas.
  6. Frisbee golf. Schools make excellent courses. Think of this as filming a sporting event. Conduct some interviews with athletes, show highlights etc.
  7. Build a kid friendly bike ramp or teeter-totter. RedBull Rampage, here we come! *please make sure this is well within your rider’s ability.
  8. Treasure hunt. Depending on how much set-up area and time you have, kids can search on bikes or by foot.
  9. Carwash. It's not just a 1970’s cinematic treasure. Your ride will end up sparkling clean.
  10. Yoga for Kids - Next level adorable. Get in the groove, then create your own variation of a sun salutation to share!
  11. You show us! Come up with your own idea that’s more brilliant than the ones we’ve listed.
