Even though filming is still in progress, Stew was kind enough to give us an update on Anthem 2.

Click below for a quick Q&A.

HOW HAS THE FILMING PROCESS BEEN SO FAR ON ANTHEM 2, AND WHICH RIDERS HAVE BEEN PRODUCING?
The filming has been going alright, we have had our fair share of ups and downs. You know, bodies breaking, bikes breaking, bad weather, other obligations….but that’s to be expected. I knew the first half of filming was going to be slow, fall on the east coast is perfect and we’ll be hammering on the project then. All the guys have done some sort of filming up to now, but Sean Burns is leading the pack. Sorry Chase, you got some work to do, ha!

HAVE YOU NAILED DOWN A FINAL LIST OF RIDERS FOR THE VIDEO?
It all depends on who puts in the work. The tentative list is…Sean Burns, Geoff Slatterly, Brian Yeagle, Chris Doyle, Eli Platt, Mike Aitken, & Chase Hawk. If I have enough footage of each one of those guys, then they will each have a part, they are my first choices….If for some reason someone can’t get enough footage together, then I will just move on to another rider who can. I’ve had plenty of interest in the project from other rippers who are very anxious to be a part of it.

WILL ANY OF THE RIDERS FROM THE FIRST ANTHEM BE MAKING GUEST APPEARANCES?
I sure hope so. Ideally, I’d like to do a section made up entirely of guys from the first one. Time will tell if that actually happens or not, but most of them seem into it.

WHAT SPOTS WILL WE BE SEEING IN THE VIDEO?
The video will be predominately East Coast and Austin.

I SEE SOME NEW ANTHEM SHIRTS HAVE SPRUNG UP, WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE TO PROMOTE THE VIDEO?
I want to do a bunch of limited edition signature shirts for the video (Ed.Note- Empire has tees now), stickers, maybe some posters. There is currently a website in the works for updates and rider bios. We’ll see, I just want to do some fun stuff…maybe a Sean Burns bobble head doll.

SINCE THE VIDEO WILL NOT BE OUT TOO SOON, WHAT SORT OF TRIPS ARE PLANNED FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?
I will be doing a trip to the UK in July with some of the guys and then I will spend the remainder of the year zig-zagging all over the East Coast as long as the weather permits. Nothing too concrete as of yet, just freestyling all over the place.

ANYTHING TO ADD BEFORE WE WRAP THIS?
I just want to thank everybody for their enthusiasm on this project.
