Local resident Nick Pavelka is a professional videographer
with a very impressive catalog and client list. You’ve
probably seen some of his short videos that appear on the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce Facebook page. One of Nick’s clients is Paul Basagoitia, who became a good friend. Paul was the top downhill and mountain bike racer on the planet. He was paralyzed in an accident during the Red Bull Rampage event 5 years ago. Nick was present at the event and captured many of Paul’s practice runs prior to the actual event plus additional footage. Paul’s accident was
chronicled in a movie produced by Red Bull entitled “Any One of Us” which was purchased by HBO and is currently
airing on many platforms including Amazon Prime Video. The movie was nominated for 2 Sports Emmy Awards and took home one for Editing. Nick Pavelka contributed up to 22 minutes of this 90 minute feature of his friend Paul creating a movie that would have been nearly impossible to produce without his contribution. “Any One of Us” is an emotional ride through Paul’s eyes and chronicles many that have been afflicted with spinal cord injuries. Paul is back riding and his rehabilitation has been quite successful.
