Rapid Transit was assembled in 2008 as an outlet for a group of friends, outdoor enthusiasts, filmmakers and photographers to come together and share their stories and creative work. We all share an interest in outdoor adventure, be it kayaking, surfing, skateboarding, fishing, climbing, mt biking and more. We have made lifelong hobbies out of these passions and hope to preserve and share a few memorable moments through video, photos and words. DON’T FORGET THE MUSIC! Aside from the obvious visual elements, music is the number one ingredient in making a video memorable. See our MUSIC page for the latest from the record labels and artists we work with.
