What about the other centres and towns?

We do want to get as far and wide as possible so if you think you know a venue in your home town let us know. We are currently finalising dates and venues for Christchurch and Dunedin and hopefully Hamilton.

Gidday twads. I see you have found the mad house.

For the rest of you fella's and felleses (how the hell do you spell felleses?) this is an awesome movie of a few kiwi lads just giving it ago. Five kiwibikers from Chch and one from Timaru made the effort to drive to Geraldine to see this movie and it was defiantly worth the effort. Defiantly get along and have a looksee - I'll be going along for a second screening (in Chch) when it gets here!

My information about this is that there will be a feature on the film and the foursome on TV 1 tomorrow (July 2nd) on Breakfast at 8.40am.

Also, our local paper says the Auckland screening is tomorrow (2nd July) at the Academy, while the Wellington showing is on Sunday the 13th of July at Paramount Theatre.

There are also DVD's available...

Twads is one of the four adventures so if you want to confirm send him a PM.

Saw two of them on Breakfast this morning. I prob cant get along to the Wellington Screening, but I would absolutely be interested in purchasing the DVD!

Looks awesome, and from what I understood a couple of you were complete novices at riding before you went off on your adventure. Cant wait to see it.

Just saw it in Auckland. Bloody awesome effort.

Sort of a reverse Long way down, but way more chaotic and down to earth. Shows you don't need $50,000 and 3 support vehicles each to do such a trip.

All you Wellington KB'ers need to see it.

I'd like to purchase the DVD as well - but according to the website they are sold out.

Twads mum is taking orders in Whakatane. DVD's are $20 plus postage for those wanting them.. I don't mind acting as a go-between... PM me for my bank account and I'll post it to you.

Hey All,
I just called the Paramount and bought our tickets, they said that they're selling fast and have 50 tickets left.

Cheers, CSL
