Trailer Synopsis

Motion features host Greg Aiello as he explores a variety of outdoor activities. From the Channel Islands in California to Bryce Canyon National Park, Maui, and Big Sur, Aiello takes a Nature-lovers perspective on exploration. Often times filmed solely by Aiello himself, the show acts as a guide on how to adventure to less-traveled places. Camping on a budget, kayaking with friends, and hiking mountains with safety cables are examples of Aiello's hobbies that are documented for viewers to see. Each half hour episode takes viewers to a location off the beaten path, with directions on exactly how to get there. With summer and winter vacations highlighted, Motion is produced with the average outdoorsmen in mind. Aiello narrates throughout, providing an inside look into his climbing, hiking, photography, and general fitness abilities.

This is the California coastline raw, wild and rugged.
Episode 7 : Yosemite Falls: Over the Edge
May. 12,2009
Yosemite National Park is home to many scenic wonders but one stands out as spring snow-melt fills the rivers with water.

Episode 6 : California's Central Coast
May. 05,2009
