So my fiance is away for the weekend, I've got in some beers & crisps and a new HD projector is in its box grinning at me.
So STW give me your YouTube / Vimeo adventure film recommendations - anything from ultra running, kayaking, big mountain skiing, sailing and maybe even some cycling...
Riding Giants.
Meru was great and I love the Poor Boyz ski films, particularly revolver
If you really want to mix it up, this is short but sweet
(Two friends decide to skate from Boston to New York)
Grand Inga Project. Everest of WW kayaks IMO.
Nine rivers. Proper adventure.
Not yet for download, but add it to 'the list'
I made this for the Kendal mountain Film festival if you like. Share it if you want too.
The old films about kayaking Everest are great.
For a more modern take I like ride your f##king bike on YouTube. Wheel love is just out. Thought it was ok. Worth a watch.
You could go to steepedge and buy a couple. Some propper adventure films then.
Death grip is ok, but some great pics.
The Steve peat film is great.
The single-track one is worth a watch too.
Just my opinion.
🙂
Worth the rental fee easily:

The Berkley Marathons is fantastic.

Bill and Ted had a most excellent adventure

Matt - that was pretty good. Sod hauling a canoe upstream for a week though!
1hr 50mins, but an absolutely delightful slow burner:

Part 2

Great film Andy K. Good shout. Very funny as well. Or at least I thought it was.
Hooks was amazing 😀
A tough one to watch if your a doggy lover or experienced cancer.
A proper adventure.
2.5 million feet up and down in a year..
Just sat down and finished watching Hooks. That was wonderfully terrific - Thank you for the heads up.
Just watched Meru on Netflix.
Holy Shit Batman!!
So my fiance is away for the weekend, I’ve got in some beers & crisps and a new HD projector is in its box grinning at me.
Fiance away, projector tv, 25 posts in and no suggestion of hd rudey films?
This place is going to the dogs.... 😉
I would second the kayaking Everest film, and also maybe Tsangpo Gorge, another kayaking one, though a bit American.
Hooks is good. Berkeley marathons is great. Crossing the ice is brilliant.
A few up there I haven’t seen, will save the thread for later!
North of the Sun 2 dudes build a shelter on a beach in Norway to spend the winter in, surf and snowboard
Crossing the ice - mad Aussies do the ridiculous, ridiculously underprepared - brilliant fun, lovely guys.
Solo - Andrew McAuley's adventure to cross the Tasman Sea solo in a kayak.
"It's something that's really out there - it's more full-on than anything that I ever imagined.
"It's just wild, but it's a true, true stunning adventure.
Frozen Road, was recommended on here the other day.
Thanks for the tread, scruff! This is a few evenings taken care of.
I have no idea how to embed vimeo into a post...
Into Twin Galaxies
Stumped
Any chance of the snow scuppering your weekend of freedom??!!
Meru.
Wow.
