"The Ride: London to Beijing"

[Kornholio]

Anyone else watching? It's on Prime. :cool

 

[lefty]

No, is it any good? I'm always looking for good stuff to watch- instead of watching my puppy destroy everything I own.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Kornholio]

It's actually not bad, Ed. It's not like a total rehash of the "Long Way..." series.

 

[Kornholio]

Finished the first season. Man it looks like a great trip.

 

[lefty]

Thank you. I will vegetate and watch it this weekend with the dogs!!

To be honest I was most impressed by the age of some of the guys, the guy who was piloting the bike with a pillion and, perhaps most of all, the freaking guy in the Van!

I enjoyed the cat scene, (showed my wife that five minute section and she laughed so hard she cried), and them finding that other moto.

 

[Kornholio]

Yeah it was great seeing the older guys basically in tears when they made it Beijing. What a journey! :thumbup

 

[Kornholio]

And yeah that Yamaha saved the day! :laughing

BTW...did I miss something with that young dude that had an endo early on? I don't recall seeing him at the end... :dunno

Answer below, so anyone who doesn't want a spoiler might want to skip this.

Forced to head to lower altitude near Everest.

They thought he might die if he continued to higher altitude.

Warning-- Spoilers ahead---------------

I too binged watched all of the episodes last night. It was AWESOME!!!

Those border guards!!! What POS's!!! I wish that we call a drone strike on the MF's.

The guy with the cat was so awesome!! Inviting strangers into his home and feeding them the dried meat and beer!! It was a truly great series. The van support driver has the patience of a Saint.

I wish that the editing was better. Some characters just dropped off; such as the pillions, and the fixer who was supposed to drive the Yamaha back.

Those camera shots looking over the edge of the cliffs!!! FAAAAACKK!! I was literally scooting back in my recliner whenever they showed one of those shots!!

Kornholio-

I owe you a beer and some Gumbo for your beautiful Wife. Thank you.

The height of some of those roads automatically rule me out for such a ride though I doubt I have the skills or patience to endure the hardship.

I am VERY afraid of heights and dropoffs.

Prime exclusive

 

[Kornholio]

Exactly. I said it was on Prime. :nerd :cool

 

[Kornholio]

And Ed, I think I feel asleep during Episode 4...didn't realize that Max, the guy I was thinking of, was suffering from bad altitude sickness. I just rewatched it.

 

[Cycle61]

Exactly. I said it was on Prime. :nerd :cool

And I'm a prime member. Hmmm

 

[Cycle61]

Weird. Putting the : in the title led me to the not available one, just searching for The Ride London to Beijing and now it shows up.

:burnout

 

[Kornholio]

Perfect! Get to watching!
