[still2006MM]

You did an amazing job with this!... it looks like it was a life changing adventure. Nice to see that we have such talent here at UWM.  Saludos!

[Janowia2]

Dan-I heard about your trip while at UWM and found in to be very interesting. I am amazed with your video, i laughed and cried at the same time! You put all my favorite places together into 5 minutes. Now I can visit them anytime I want! Congrats on a job well done! Hopeing to see more in the future!

[CstrikerDan2]

@Janowia2 Thanks!

[thegreatzac]

I still live vicariously through you...

[CstrikerDan2]

@ChristianHubbard Yes it is a tad dangerous, but I think risk is an important element to an adventure.

My ride across China was much wilder. google "Up the Dragons Arse"

Check out pages 2 and 3 for sure and ask me anything.

[ChristianHubbard]

i've alwas wanted to do something like this, but im afraid of the logistics.

how did you keep your shit from being stolen.

where did you eat?

etc etc

[CstrikerDan2]

@ChristianHubbard

Mexico has hotels, restaurants, shops and awesome people just like the USA. You can't sweat the little stuff and worry about them, or try and plan too much. Just travel with a good attitude and things well fall into place.

As far as theft I did not flaunt wealth with this bike at all. Most places are super safe with nice people who wouldn't want anything to happen to you just like we wouldn't want bad things to happen to a traveler in our hometowns.

[ChristianHubbard]

@CstrikerDan2 what was the flying thing you did? paragliding? that looked hella fun!

[CstrikerDan2]

@ChristianHubbard

Yeah paragliding. I met a cool family in Yelapa and they took me up twice for free! Pretty magic experience.

[exemonje]

what camera did you use to film this? was it gopro?

[CstrikerDan2]

@exemonje Yeah a GoPro and 5dmkii

[TheGod666slayer]

You sir are the fucking man

[huitzilopochlti]

I wish you enjoyed my country. It has a lot of problems, but is very big, diverse and beautiful. Thank you for the good image that you has shown of México.

[CstrikerDan2]

[phiberoptick]

[12bpanda]

[CstrikerDan2]

@12bpanda Awesome

[4444efrain]

what an awesome expose on Mexico and its people KUDOS... Go Reddit!

[pwnasaurusREX1]

ive been thinking of doing something very similar for a long time. inspirational - thanks.

[MrRiggyRiggs]

Awesome stuff. I watch these kind of videos b/c Ill prolly never experience something like this.

[CstrikerDan2]

@MrRiggyRiggs Hardest part of adventures is just getting the motivation to go!

[srudes2]

@JizzNotDizz looking at the meta-data of the images on his webpage he has a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Since this camera has video recording capability he could've used it in certain shots. Other shots were probably taken with some kind of helmet cam.

[tomoom165]

Why the fuck does everyone use Dayvan Cowboy?

[ryazbeck]

@tomoom165 Because it goes good with everything!

[JizzNotDizz]

what kind of camera did you use?

[chillm8t]

Very cool video man, great editing and music!  I'm not sure if I missed this from your website or somewhere, but are you staying once you get there or heading straight back? At any rate, stay safe out there.

[TheEthug]

That bike needs to be named.....Sanchez.

[dpq06]

Hipsters gonna hip. :P

In all seriousness, awesome video!

[hippykiller1]

Nice!

[dgunner39]

Did you happen to pass by the dangerous parts of Mexico? Any hostile people you bumped into?

[CstrikerDan2]

@dgunner39 I was in supposed hostile areas with lots of well armed police rolling around in pickups but had no issues myself.

I ran out of gas the first day in and was worried at first. The first truck by stopped, detached his fuel filter to fill bottles with gas and then made sure I made it to the next station. Lovely people everywhere. Or maybe they just pity me and Natasha a bit.

[datboypt407]

Awesome stuff man!!...Awesome journey, Awesome video....Music definitely adds a amazing vibe...INSPIRING!!!!

[dmottola]

Amazing video! Great choice of music, nice shot selection, overall fantastic.

[fallse7en]

I knew this was going to be a good video as soon as Dayvan Cowboy started playing

[CRBlKER]

Awesome!

[CstrikerDan2]

@CRBlKER Thanks

[alexbryant93]

Did you buy a better lens halfway through your trip?

[CstrikerDan2]

@alexbryant93 Nope, maybe I just learned to use it better

[n00bfr4gg3r]

@alexbryant93 he used a gopro for some shots and a 5DMKII for others

[alexbryant93]

@n00bfr4gg3r This explains a lot xD
