What is a Media Raid?

Authentic Content Delivered by Our Community

SolidRide Media Raids are structured, invite-only, tours led by our vetted community of creators, who ride, test products, and shoot authentic user generated content (UGC) directly on the trail. Built around a cohort of non-competing brands, each Media Raid bridges the gap between amateur UGC and cost-prohibitive pro productions. We gather real-world creators to capture, deliver, and share high-quality, short-form content that targets the “everyday rider.” For your brand, this means a predictable stream of “UGC” assets that align with your audience. Secondarily, we amplify that content across our pooled community channels—combining asset creation with influencer marketing strategies to maximize the reach of your content.

Backed by Real-World Business Experience, Not Egos

  • Our creators have 15+ years of digital strategy, creative storytelling, and media experience.
  • Our motorcycle tour guides have 30+ years of off-road riding experience.

How it Works

The SolidRide Media Raid Framework

Our invite-only media production tours replace the guesswork of hiring one-off creators and the extreme budgets of pro-athlete content productions for brands. By unifying creators, brands, and a structured production framework with relatable, real-world riders, we deliver predictable, short form content (UGC) that connects directly with the everyday rider.

Invite-Only Brand Cohorts

We curate invite-only cohorts featuring non-competing brands alongside a handpicked team of creators and riders. This strategic alignment ensures your marketing spend is fully protected, giving you placement alongside complementary products.

Professional Execution

We replace the chaos of one-off creator schedules with a highly coordinated media tour. Our experienced crew leads the ride with pre-planned production objectives, delivering professional, short-form content for your marketing channels.

Strategic Content Capture

Prior to the ride, we’ll align with your team to set clear expectations. Then, instead of capturing intimidating pro stunts, our creators document real-world ADV riding—showing everyday riders how your products seamlessly fit into their own adventures.

Pooled Audience Amplification

Our creators capture unique, platform-native content to turn the live ride into immediate buzz across our community channels. We then fuel a compounding network effect by continuing to share and amplify content for up to 4 months post-ride.

Aligned with Consumer Buying Cycles

We run Raids twice a year to match peak consumer purchase behaviors: our spring tours deliver assets ready for the summer riding season, while our fall tours secure your creative library ahead of the holiday rush.
How We Compare

Filling The “UGC” Production Gap

Stop gambling your marketing budget on self-serving influencers or cost-prohibitive pro agreements. Discover how our structured Media Raids deliver the perfect balance of authenticity, predictability, and reach.

One-Off Influencer Deals

Traditional influencer marketing is an unpredictable gamble on independent creators who prioritize platform algorithms and personal follower growth over your business goals. These campaigns often suffer from volatile view counts and unreliable delivery timelines, while your core brand narrative gets buried in the noise of chasing viral metrics.

Chaotic Process

Amateur Delivery

Unpredictable Pricing

Furthermore, a total lack of competitive protection means these same creators can easily feature a direct competitors back to back, quickly diluting your marketing investment.

SolidRide Media Raid

Engineered to eliminate traditional creator risks, SolidRide turns UGC creation into a structured production service that provides a stream of short-form content for your brand.

Structured Process

Professional Delivery

Optimized Investment

By pooling our creator audiences, we deliver simultaneous, collective distribution across multiple community channels, all while protecting your investment through exclusive, non-competing brand cohorts.

Pro Athlete & Big Media Deals

While high-budget productions capture jaw-dropping stunts, they often create a psychological barrier that alienates your primary customer base—leaving everyday riders thinking a product is out of their league rather than a must-have gear upgrade.

Bureaucratic Process

Ego-Driven Delivery

Premium Fees

These traditional agreements eat up massive marketing budgets on a single campaign, trap your brand in restrictive, time-limited content licensing rights, and rely on slow, rigid production cycles that prevent you from capitalizing on fast-moving trends.

Brands + Creators + Content

Everyday Riders. Authentic Content.

This isn’t pro-athlete hype—and it’s not UGC roulette. SolidRide Media Raids deliver the missing middle: a productized content engine built for Adventure and Dual Sport brands that need consistent, usable short-form content without sacrificing authenticity. We help you shift UGC messaging from “look what I can do” to “look what you can do” by capturing real riders on real terrain. You get short-form content, B-roll, and story-driven pieces designed for modern social media—so everyday riders can see themselves in the moment, and your team can ship content that performs.

Value Proposition

Eliminating Risk and Maximizing ROI

Traditional influencer campaigns leave brands vulnerable to unpredictable costs, fluctuating deliverable quality, and restrictive usage rights. SolidRide flips the script by offering structured pricing and operational certainty. We deliver a schedule of content deliverables at predictable costs for each Raid, entirely eliminating the guesswork of influencer marketing.

Fully Permitted + Insured

SolidRide operates with full authorized access, securing official USFS and BLM permits alongside a commercial liability policy. This proactive compliance gives your marketing team fully approved, brand-safe assets that are instantly green-lit for unlimited scale across all your paid marketing channels with total peace of mind. Read more about the importance of permitting.

Predictable Costs + Transparent Pricing

By gathering a cohort of non-competing brands into a single structured media tour, SolidRide dramatically lowers the barrier to entry. Through a completely transparent, flat-rate pricing model with zero hidden fees, you lock in predictable costs from day one—gaining pro-level media output and collective influencer reach without the massive price tag of a solo production.

Content Ownership + Amplification

Unlike traditional influencer campaigns with loose terms or pro athlete deals with restrictive licensing, you get a library of professional, short-form assets to use across your own marketing channels. Plus, we distribute native content across our community channels—delivering a compounding return long after the ride is over.
Community Amplification

Synchronized Delivery. Amplified Reach.

Show up across multiple communities where everyday riders actually pay attention, giving your product wider, more credible reach than a single creator audience can deliver. Instead of betting everything on one channel, you expand beyond one follower base and tap into a network of trusted riding communities—so your message lands with more riders.

What You Get

Clear deliverables. Content you can actually use.

Each Media Raid delivers a ready-to-use library of content assets, paired with community amplification to maximize the organic reach of your content from day one.

Authentic, Fully-Edited UGC Videos

Our focus is entirely on capturing the real-world riding experience, trading sterile brand ads for genuine, on-trail moments. Our short-from video deliverables capture the raw, unfiltered reality of a multi-day tour. We deliver organic, professional vertical video cuts that bring your audience directly into the experience with us, showcasing your product through the eyes and hands of real riders.

Video Assets:

  • Strategic content capture on the tour featuring your product
  • Fully-edited 15 and 30 second vertical videos

Creative Strategy:

  • Natural Placements: We don’t force artificial endorsements. Our creators wear, use, and rely on your gear as a natural part of their journey, ensuring every frame feels organic and earned.
  • Experiential Storytelling: These videos look and feel like a friend’s raw, epic trip update, not a corporate sales pitch. This builds deep trust and resonance with the riding community.
  • Authentic: By capturing real-time experiences, we deliver content that feels native to social feeds and deeply respects the rider culture.

Curated, Unbranded B-Roll Video Library

Our creators don’t just ride past a camera—they bring your audience directly into the journey. We deliver authentic content focused on rider interaction and the experience of the tour. Instead of sterile brand ads, we capture the raw, unfiltered reality of a multi-day high-alpine tour to showcase your products in their natural element.

  • Real-World Capture: Authentic, UGC of your product being used on tour and on the trail.
  • Professional Curation: We review and organize the raw footage so your team doesn’t have to sort through hours of trail content.
  • Creative Freedom: Clean, unbranded content delivered straight to your creative team, ready to be cut into endless fresh ad variations.

Curated, Multi-Perspective Photo Library

Our still photography package is built to maximize creative variety. Throughout the tour, multiple rider-creators capture high-resolution imagery from their unique viewpoints. This multi-creator approach provides your team with a rich, diverse library of styles and visual perspectives, ensuring you have the perfect assets to support both your digital marketing campaigns and your website.

Image Assets:

  • Fully-edited 4:5 and 16:9 photographs in high-resolution and web-ready formats

Creative Strategy:

  • Diverse Creative Styles: With multiple riders behind the lens, you receive a curated mix of photography styles—ranging from raw, action-packed trail shots to intimate, candid lifestyle moments and clean product-in-use details.
  • Asset Variety: By capturing the same trip from unique viewpoints, we provide your creative team with an extensive selection of lighting, angles, and framing options.

Creator Community Amplification

Turn your content library into immediate, organic brand awareness. Instead of keeping the captured footage locked in your internal files, we leverage the unbranded B-roll and trail footage to build, publish, and distribute organic content across our own pooled community channels and creator networks.

How it Works

  • Pooled Creator Distribution: Leveraging b-roll and self-captured native content, riders create and publish posts directly onto their own social media channels.
  • Organic Reach & Amplification: By tapping into our highly engaged, built-in audience of off-road enthusiasts, we amplify your brand’s visibility directly within the core riding community.
  • Collabs & Hashtags: At your request, we can leverage native platform features (tagging, collabs, and hashtags) to seamlessly bridge our community audience, driving organic follower growth and brand trust.

Add-On: Multi-Platform Variants & Long-Form Content

Our Raids are created to capture authentic, real-world rider experiences using your products, but we do understand that marketing teams may require additional support to correctly monetize the content we create. Therefore, we offer additional agency-type services to support these specialized requests. Because our team is on the trail capturing the source files, we are uniquely positioned to translate this raw footage into highly polished, platform-specific marketing content—saving your team from outsourcing to a third-party creative agency.

High-Impact Ad Formats

  • What it is: A bundle of short-form videos specifically optimized for paid social acquisition (Meta, YouTube, TikTok).
  • The Deliverable: We take the authentic trail interactions and build out high-performance ad variations. This includes 3 unique hook variations per video, custom on-screen text/captions, native platform-specific formatting ($1:1$, $4:5$, and $9:16$ ratios), and highly visible, action-oriented call-to-actions (CTAs).

Long-Form Narrative & Editorial Cuts (2–5 Minutes)

  • What it is: Deep-dive, cinematic storytelling that captures the full arc of the tour experience. Perfect for YouTube, website landing pages, or retail display screens.
  • The Deliverable: A fully polished mini-documentary or cinematic recap of the Raid. This format weaves together the raw human elements, the landscapes, and your product’s performance into a cohesive, high-production narrative.

Multi-Platform Resizing & Formatting

  • What it is: Complete optimization of your asset library to fit every digital touchpoint.
  • The Deliverable: Delivery of your entire photo and video catalog custom-cropped and formatted for specific channel specs (e.g., horizontal $16:9$ for YouTube banners/website desktops, vertical $9:16$ for mobile-first social channels, and square $1:1$ for email newsletters and grid posts).

Full Brand Guidelines Integration

  • What it is: Seamless alignment of the final assets with your company’s specific visual identity.
  • The Deliverable: We apply your exact brand fonts, hex colors, vector logos, and custom lower-thirds or end-screens to the video deliverables, ensuring the final assets look like they were produced by your in-house design team.

How it Works

  • These services are priced separately from the standard Media Raid packages. Before the tour, we can scope out any custom post-production requests based on your goals and platform requirements.

About Us

Behind the Ride: Experience You Can Trust

Backed by agency founders and technology experts with over 40 years of combined professional experience, our program brings enterprise-level operational systems to adventure media. We have replaced the unpredictability of traditional content campaigns with a structured, agency-grade delivery pipeline.

By combining three distinct professional disciplines, we ensure your brand gets unmatched creative quality backed by reliable, business-class execution:

  • Operations (On-the-Ground Execution): Managed by professional tour guides and expedition logistics experts, our operations team handles the complex on-trail coordination, safety, and routing. We keep the production rolling seamlessly under real-world conditions, ensuring our creators are always in the right place at the right time to capture the action.
  • Strategy (Digital Marketing & Tech Infrastructure): Led by veteran digital marketing and technology management experts, this discipline builds the strategic frameworks behind your deliverables. We ensure your assets are engineered for modern ad platforms, optimized for performance metrics, and backed by robust, predictable delivery systems.
  • Creative (Storytelling & Direction): Guided by seasoned creative directors and active adventure-motorcycle creators, our creative team brings a storyteller’s eye to the trail. We focus on capturing authentic, raw, and highly relatable moments that resonate with everyday riders while keeping your brand positioning front and center.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is a SolidRide Media Raid?

A Media Raid is a highly structured, multi-day media expedition designed to solve a major brand headache: the struggle to consistently produce authentic, high-quality, real-world content. We combine professional on-trail operations, strategic marketing direction, and a crew of seasoned creators in a unified cohort format to capture and deliver creative asset libraries that ship on time.

2. How does the shared-cohort model work?

To keep production budgets highly optimized, multiple non-competing brands share the base camp and trail logistics of a scheduled Raid cohort. While our operational team keeps the expedition moving, our creative team and riders actively capture, test, and feature your specific products in a rugged, real-world setting. You get the output of an expensive custom production for a fraction of the cost.

3. When are the Raids scheduled, and why?

We run cohorts twice a year to align directly with peak retail buying behaviors:

Spring Cohorts: Built to supply high-impact creative for the peak summer riding season campaigns.

Fall Cohorts: Strategically designed to help you stock up on assets and dominate the Q4 holiday shopping rush.

4. Can we book a completely private Raid for our brand?

Yes. If you are launching a flagship product, require exclusivity, or want 100% of our daily production bandwidth, you can book a Brand Exclusive Raid Buyout. This gives you complete creative control, customizable dates, and a zero-competitor environment.

5. Do we get the raw source files, or only finished edits?

Our standard packages include high-quality, polished, ready-to-publish deliverables. However, if your brand has an agile in-house editing team or external agency, you can purchase our Source File Delivery add-on starting at $2,500. This grants you complete, unrestricted access to the high-definition raw clips, photos, and project files.

6. How does the Creator Social Sharing & Native Amplification add-on work?

Instead of relying on cold, expensive paid ads, you can amplify your content directly through our creators’ personal networks. Selected creators will publish organic posts, reels, and stories featuring your gear natively to their own channels for a sustained 3-month period. SolidRide manages the logistics, payments, and revenue share—making it a completely hands-off process for you. No more chasing down individual creators.

7. We are a premium brand. How do you guarantee the content doesn't look amateur?

Unlike standard “influencer deals” where you hope for the best, SolidRide is built on agency experience. We create a diverse range of content including b-roll. Our final production deliverables are managed by veteran creative directors who oversee the shot lists, angles, and quality standards. Based on the package selected, get a diverse range of content including authentic raw UGC and professional-grade final deliverables.

8. Who are the riders and creators on these tours?

Our network is composed of experienced adventure-motorcycle riders, professional tour guides, and seasoned creators who know how to handle high-level cameras in rugged conditions. They are active members of the ADV and dual-sport community, meaning their interactions with your products are genuine, believable, and highly respected by everyday riders.

9. How do we ensure our products are used and showcased correctly?

Before the kick-off of any Raid, we establish guidelines and get comfortable using your products. We align with your team on key selling points and key use cases. This ensures that your products are positioned accurately and effectively throughout the entire expedition.

10. How do we get started, and when should we ship our gear?

Once you lock in your spot in a cohort, we will provide onboarding details and schedule a time to meet with you. Products and gear must arrive at our logistics base camp ahead of the Raid dates so our operations team can prep, mount, and integrate your equipment onto the bikes before we hit the trail.

  1. Apply to a cohort
  2. Pay a deposit
  3. Meet with us to set expectations
  4. Ship your product to us
  5. Final payment due at time of asset delivery

11. Can I provide example social media copy, hashtags, and coupon codes for creators to use?

Yes. You can provide copy examples, brand voice guidelines, specific hashtags, and tracking coupon codes. However, to keep the content highly engaging and believable, our creators will translate these guidelines into their own natural voice and personal style. This ensures the output feels like an authentic recommendation rather than a stiff, scripted ad.

12. When does the cohort lock?

We lock all brand applications and finalize the cohort roster 4 weeks prior to the scheduled Raid departure date. This 4-week window is crucial for our team to complete product onboarding and finalize logistics.

13. We are a small lifestyle brand with a single product and want to enter the ADV/dual-sport market. Can you support us?

Absolutely. If you sell gear that isn’t a core motorcycle brand, but is still highly relevant to the lifestyle—such as sunglasses, tools, camp kitchen items, trail snacks, or beverages—we offer specialized Secondary Lifestyle Brand Placement. Please contact us directly, and we will help integrate your product naturally into the daily routine of the tour.

14. How do you guarantee or track creator community amplification services?

We guarantee that all agreed-upon content will go live according to our service-level agreement (SLA). To track performance, creators will tag your official brand account, use your required campaign hashtags, and feature your custom tracking/coupon codes in their captions and stories. While we cannot guarantee direct sales, we guarantee the complete, on-time delivery and execution of our commitments.

15. How many sales can I expect?

Because sales depend on external variables—like your product’s price point, website conversion rate, and overall market demand—we do not guarantee specific sales volumes. Our role is that of a content production and distribution engine. We guarantee the high-quality creation, packaging, and scheduled publishing of your assets as outlined in your chosen package.

16. How do you guarantee zero competitor conflict within a cohort?

We protect your brand’s presence. In your cohort package and terms, we formally document all participating brands and explicitly define the non-compete boundaries. If you require an absolute zero-competitor environment across all categories, we recommend booking a Brand Exclusive Raid Buyout.

17. We do not work with an external marketing agency. Do you provide other digital services?

SolidRide focuses exclusively on motorcycle tour experiences and Media Raid events. However, we are backed by OpenMedium and Kindfire Creative. If you need help with paid digital advertising, comprehensive website management, or ongoing organic social media management, we are happy to introduce you to our trusted partners and will work hand-in-hand with them to streamline your content delivery.

18. How do you handle brand or product overlap in the footage?

Because we shoot in active, real-world riding environments, natural visual overlap is inevitable—for example, a rider might wear one brand’s apparel while riding a bike outfitted with another brand’s luggage.

Strategic content capture deliverables:
All dedicated product hooks and brand messaging are kept entirely separate. We do our best to make your product the focal point for strategic and planned shots.

Lifestyle, action, and b-roll deliverables:
Visual and commentary overlap of products inevitable. For example, our creators may provide commentary and dialog about the ride, experience, and how their motorcycle is setup to create authentic content.

19. Does SolidRide have permits to film commercial footage on public lands?

Yes. We handle the entire commercial permitting process for every Content Raid. We work directly with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Colorado to secure the necessary commercial filming and Special Recreation Permits (SRP) for the specific trail systems we ride.

Because commercial land managers define any media production involving models, brand products, or promotional intent as “commercial filming,” having these active permits ensures your brand’s shoot is 100% legal.

20. What if a Ranger stops the group on the trail?

Our trail lead always carries physical and digital copies of our approved USFS/BLM permits, along with our commercial general liability insurance certificates. You will never have to worry about a shoot being shut down.

21. Why can't we just shoot "guerilla-style" without permits?

Federal agencies actively monitor social media and commercial ad accounts for footage shot illegally on public lands. If a brand runs paid ads using unpermitted footage captured on national forests or BLM land, the land management agencies can issue retroactive fines, demand the removal of the content, or blacklist the production crew. SolidRide completely eliminates this risk by doing things by the book.
