Just watch Road to Karakol followed by A Thin White Line.

Both great films that highlight in different ways the reason we take part in our own adventures and races. Really good watching something that you can relate to and aspire to at the same time.......

Right onto the next one.

We watched that last night. Wasn't fussed with it as a whole, but the photography was excellent throughout.

Free divers are mentalists :shock:

I saw a film at Kendall about The Flying Frenchies going base jumping in Norway. Pure madness but such a great film.

I'd been told about G.N.A.R. before but never watched it......until tonight. Both me and the misses couldn't stop laughing.

Got me thinking that we should do a biking version :-)

Just watched a programme called Jor, it's about a bloke that goes ski touring in the jura mountains. Its obviously done by the Jura tourist board and it's all in French, but it will certainly inspire someone to head out there with a fat bike

Blazing Saddles.

Apart from a bike-related pun, naff-all to do with riding, but makes me laugh a lot. Also, M*A*S*H.
