Inspiration! Yeeehaw!

Two great videos from Rob Thomson (of 14.Degrees stardom!) and Brad Davies. 

The video below is Rob’s 10th video installment from his epic human-powered round-the-world journey.  It documents his final month of skateboard travel in China.  Chicken farms, rice in the road, kids in cages on bicycles–this video, like all his others, is full of fascinating footage.  Congrats Rob on finishing an amazing accomplishment!!

Oh yeah, I also just want to mention that it’s nice reading about someone else who thinks about weight the way I do and who shaves the way I do (see here). I makes me feel like less of a weirdo. :)

This second video is from Brad Davies. It contains footage and pictures from his 3.5 week ride through Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan (as well as some pictures from close to the Afghan border). Caution: Whether you´re a cyclist or not, this video will make you want to ride through these places! Although watching Brad bounce over dirt, washboard roads made me grimmace and think of the roads in Peru and Bolivia, the scenery in this video is spectacular.
