TESTIMONIALS

real words from real people

Frank Zoontjes

Kawasaki Motors Europe, Senior Brand Officer

When we started the preparations for the Isle of Man photo and video production for the launch of the Ninja ZX-6R 636, we were obviously looking for an experienced TT rider with a good work ethic and someone who is committed to Kawasaki. Our natural choice was James Hillier as he was already one of the emerging talents at the TT in the Kawasaki UK sponsored Bournemouth Kawasaki Racing team. It was the right choice as he proved to be a true asset to the production and we also had good fun with him on board. We are really happy to have such a strong relationship with James where on one hand he is racing under Kawasaki’s wing at events like the TT and North West 200 and on the other making use of his services as an expert rider at photo and video productions.

James has had a very calm, methodical approach to the TT. Learn - go faster, learn – go faster, learn some more and go faster still. In 2013 he won his first TT and in the final race of the year strung together his fastest ever consistent laps in the Superbike race at over 130mph average and narrowly missed the podium. In 2014 he raced in 6 feature races, and finished all them in the top-ten just missing out on a win in the Leightweight. Another amazing year from a thoroughly decent chap.

Apart from the weather, location and motorcycle, which are givens;  to a professional motorcycling photographer the most important requirement in order to meet a tight client brief, on deadline,  is the rider. A rider you can trust. A professional. James Hillier is such a rider. His skill on a motorcycle is without question as his results on the Road circuits and race tracks prove. In addition to this he has an uncanny ability to interpret a brief and understand the requirements of a commercial client, and he does this very quickly. This not only makes for fabulous images, but also means that a great deal can be achieved, in safety, in a relatively short period. Always accurate with his riding, patient and smiling I would be happy to recommend James for any photo shoots or video productions.

Over the last 15 years we have made countless commercials for a wide range of clients and had to work with many precision riders, drivers and stuntmen to act, drive, jump, and ride. This is no easy job. James was spot on from the beginning. He's happy to be on set early and leave late. We often start very early and end very late and when James is riding he has to be pin-point accurate. You ask him to hit a pin-head at 150kph and he just does it. Again and again and again. We were and still are very impressed by his riding skills
