Long Way Down - 1 - 1

[moshugari]

1:07 charlie, africas not a country (=

[ozipk]

You and McGregor is my favourite celebrity.

[domokid]

I like how they edited the voice in the intro to say down instead of round.



[ozipk]

@domokid Can I have some money please?

[domokid]

@ozipk what

[aserta]

I had a friend working for a security company in the states, he almost died because the rescue team couldn't get him out of an armored car. Those things are death keepers. Both when working and when not. Luckily he only got a few minor burns and a good scare.

[Jonny2Jags]

It was fascinating to watch...I have the series on dvd. What I'm interested in is the proposed 'Long Way Up'....from South America To North America....have they done this yet, anyone know?

[ozipk]

@Jonny2Jags NO BUT THEY Should.

[Jonny2Jags]

@ozipk Thanks for the response. HOWEVER, it looks like it won't happen, I've seen nothing about it.

I was in HMV yesterday, and noticed a new DVD called 'Extreme Frontiers' featuring Charley Boorman, I'll probably buy that, he was leaning on a BMW and it looked good from the reading....

[ozipk]

@Jonny2Jags Yeah I've seen it, not as good without You and McGregor IMHO.

[BEANPOLE111]

"Its a country" ... As in Africa???

[MongolDuu1]

hmm asia is yummy

[hellomynameismuppet]

Long way down 10-5......LONG WAY DOWN 1-1

[jarayp]

I really like it!!

[thecupdidit]

stereophonics got cashed for this mann !! aha

[maktuub2004]

I did the same trip on a small 250cc...alone...no tv...no plans...just me, my bike and Africa!

[Jake5762]

@maktuub2004 is getting the visas easy?

[sunonthewindow]

Forget Africa, I want to explore Asia!

[Hovend111ck]

Just start at 2-4

[soulless82]

I'm in love with Asia she is hot

[curtmastor]

@soulless82 you can say that again.

[sugandhpathak]

i love it but i want charlie and ewan to know that asia would be more challenging and they would love to explore india

[moshugari]

Asia is sexy

[somnyfera]

great!!xx

[Napper64]

I love it.....I hate it...OOOOoo I LOVE IT!

[loho174]

WHOO!!!! PARTY TIME! done with long way round now it's tme for long way down. which i have watched a little on tele

[loho174]

@CNetherny probably they were extremely jealous or they're aliens that wont have a chance to ride a motorbike around this world HAHA

[truthhunter46]

awesome guys but dont stand up on pegs around dirt tracks !! bad move .. very brave to travel through africa so many racist criminals just want to kill anything white especially film stars,VERY brave..

[Devas77]

Take a look to "motoafryka" on youtube, 8 videos...much more cool and real ;-)

[FaTmaN9009]

long way down sucked compared to round

[TheKneekap]

@CNetherny the process is rather simple, you move the cursor to the dislike button, and left click.

[dfcvda]

its what we call a jolly.

[CaptainHollister]

Michael Palin did "Around the World in 80 Days", so these guys did "Long Way Round"

Michael Palin did "Pole to Pole", so these guys did "Long Way Down"

Michael Palin did "Full Circle", so these guys did...........ummm..........

"Guys, where is "Long way around the Pacific Ocean?" :-)

[IRM1976]

an excellent bunch of dudes an a excellent show ewan and charlie are a great pair of blokes ,,, EXCELLENT UPLOAD

[p1981sinha]

[Yeboah1990]

Hoping to see Long Way Up in the future

[TheRecknor]

@Yeboah1990 sound's like a name for a porno XD

[Yeboah1990]

@TheRecknor

lol

[BoZ10000]

Thanks so much for putting LWR and LWD on youTube!!! I've seen it now for the second time, what a great adventure and what a great team they are!

[Wolfie238]

5:18 Aren't those Matt and Charley's bike from Race to Dakar?

[2001mark]

'I love what you've done with the place' Best line of both series.

[landrover1506x6]

That Asia bird is well tasty!!!

[HittokiriBattousai17]

Thx for uploading this!

[DarthPumper]

I love the BMW's but they are too big, like in long way round it would be way easier to use a KLR 650 or a V-Strom 1000 on the Mongolian roads. Their Beemers are just to big for that Style of riding

[stgreg399]

@DarthPumper Yeah I agree. It's a shame they didn't have the 1200GS back then, they're a lot lighter and much more maneuverable than the ones in LWR.

[DarthPumper]

@stgreg399 I would agree but at the time the V-Strom is a much better bike for a trip to Africa, Mainly because of the price tag. I would rather have a Strom stolen than a brand new GS

[stgreg399]

@DarthPumper "I would rather have a Strom stolen than a brand new GS"

Haha good point!

[ewanfanatic88]

1:33 is beautiful

[Willmuzik]

kowax,u r epic for posting these!! best to ya mate!

[girlgeekster]

Why do these 2 need survival training 2 times(in LWR & LWD), but Caudio who does the trip and photographs too doesn't take it even once?

[fenderguitargirl]

Long way up, down, right, left... I would watch anything from these guys!

[PaleHearse]

To quote Monty Python.. "A tiger.. in Africa?".

God the kids were cute.. and Chary is so lucky to have Olly.  What a beautiful woman.. and I don't mean on the outside. He couldn't ask for a more loving and supportive partner in life. Hearing her always makes me smile.

[stevoz100]

These movies are so inspiring, that I boutht mijn bike bmw 1200gs

[stevoz100]

These movies are so inspiring, that I bouht mijn bike bmw 1200gs

[jerryx7]

Claudio is my hero. I want to be like him if I grow up...

[smutpow]

To all the Eve bashers, I only have this to say.... Excuse my French, but she's French!

Ok jokes aside, Eve's been really jealous of Charlie and Ewan's relationship. 1 year after LWD she hinted about this in episode 10 of LWR. It was no surprise that she decided to gate crash their LWD trip.

[rocktruggy03]

People have been doing this for years before the guys. It's so cool that they have brought so much attention to this lifestyle. My DVD set is on the way!

[r0ckworthy]

What's next, Long Way Up? (To the North Pole)



[mattj2217]

I might be getting my first bike (KLR 650) this week! These movies are so inspiring!

[StigRossi]

@mattj2217 Brilliant! I don't own a car right now, just a bike, and tho often in Ireland its rainy and cold, and sometimes the thought of having to get on my bike in the cold to go to the shops or visit friends is annoying, once I'm on the bike I never ever regret it, and always arrive home with a smile. Bikes truly are the best way to transport your soul from A to B.

[esthermg71]

They are the bigest inspiration in my life ...

[Leibinz]

This series should be called "The Long Whinge Down'. All they seemed to do is moan.

[smokescreen671]

@Leibinz so would u if u did what they did

[zazz63]

@Leibinz brits moan and whinge...  its part of their humour.

[klassetompa]

OK, I want a garage like that too!!!!!!!!!

[neothespian]

I"m fully willing to admit: I'm VERY jealous of these two :P Awesome journey and project and thank you kowaxkowax for putting it up here! And... don't worry: I went and bought my own copy of this so no piracy involved

On a side note: Most "Survivalist experts" seem to be uber-douchebags who seem to be as macho and superior as possible, while forgetting the fun bits of it.

[stigma115]

LWR was excellent, after watching it I want a bike, bmw since they are as tough as nails or even tougher

[EverywhereVirtually]

Charlie... Africa is not a country!

[SuperboyConnerKent]

do you have the extended version by any chance? that's 10 episodes, I've been looking for it high and low

[home2oblivion]

thanks a lot for putting these up!

[martinfretwell]

great whens the next one coming maybe japan china norway .ps leave the wife at home ewin its an adventure not a family outing. hope you make another one soon

[killerfencer]

lwr was the best tv series i saw and i'm glad there doing more

[flyby7a]

ASIA HMMM SOME DAY IMA MARRY THAT GIRL :o)

[PettyPettyWoodChuck]

glad they kept the theme

[mazue07]

Best documentary ever! The only way to get to know the real world we live in!

[Benjaminderfisch]

You have to have LWR book and DVD and LWD book and DVD, Race to Dakar is quite good too, but ewan is missing!

[sedat850]

fuck these ADVERTISEMENTS

[GoneWithTheSinners]

I remember watching adverts for this on television and never properly realising it was Ewan McGregor.. Thank God it's on here so I can watch it.

[radioballetmusic]

3:20-21 What bike is that?

[TheRoepieroepie]

@radioballetmusic MotoGuzzi Griso =)

[radioballetmusic]

@TheRoepieroepie Thanks! It sure is one beautiful bike. I wish I knew how to ride!

[TheRoepieroepie]

@radioballetmusic Just go ahead and learn. I promise you, it will be well worth the effort ;-)

[bandela01]

@radioballetmusic  motors are bmw 1200 gs adventure

[xerke]

In the first episode i heard a beautiful soundtrack/song when they arrived at the memorial of ww1 ww2 training ground at schotland i think, could please anyone tell me what song it was? thanks

[soulfire667]

Shadowing over here, hawking over there.

[speedolstar]

Hahaha, dear god, Ewan is so adorable xDD

[CarolineMariaB]

Just watched long way round, i`m ready for long way down. For the next 9 hours the computer in mine!!!!

[ProfsrAJ]

Are they doing another one in south america?

[Benjaminderfisch]

@ProfsrAJ I´m looking like every day if I find informations about if they are doing another trip, but I think it will took a while yet.

[CaptainHollister]

Ollie is the perfect wife - good looking, understanding, supportive.

Eve is the opposite in all three of these aspects

[user100ja]

4:09 hot !

[user100ja]

4:09 hot !

[user100ja]

4:09 hot !

[LittleBloodyFairy]

No matter how many times I see it 4:42 - 5, it's funny

[NoFukinNamesLeft]

Charlie's dog is identical to mine

[bfmv580]

Asia is hot!

[KonChul]

Never even heard about these documentaries before i saw them on youtube.

[xenonhid21]

my idol....

[NorthWriter]

Yay! Rampant Lion at 3:47

[nikku13]

Poor Charlie, you can read it in his face. Who wants their mates gf along with em.

[afgr173]

a dream come true, can't wait to do America

[slantyrock]

3:06 fucking hell, hahahaha

[mahukalamata]

anyone know what kind of bike ewan is riding at 5:08

[NorthWriter]

@mahukalamata

It's a BSA Bantam. They were a nice little 125cc bike made between 1948 and 1971. That one that Ewan's riding looks like a '49 or '50.

[Ylviste]

The song is Long Way Round by Stereophonics

[drummerhere]

I miss UK television so much.

[stvchelgren1]

whats the song called when Ewen is dancing with the flag?

[nmaef]

Ben Onono: Count to 10 from the Album Native Stranger

[lozzyloveyou]

Meeeooww Asia... lol

[samsamsam100]

song is "Semi-Automatic" Performed by The Boxer Rebellion.

[rockingraw21]

Thank you very much for the reply....

[rockingraw21]

Does anyone know the name of the song that starts at 2:00 ?!?

I'd greatly appreciate a reply...

[pastonmaha]

what is the beginning song called??? Please reply!!!!

[tecna64]

why cant eve be like olly, she respects him going out on his trip of a lifetime (again) but eve just wanted to crash the party and come along

[yokohamaguy75]

@tecna64 , On one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand, I would enjoy a ride like this with my wife. However, some of the enjoyment would be lost due to my concern for her safety in Africa. I am an American, so I'm sure there would be plenty of danger for me, but she is from Japan.  I wonder how that would be.

[hrzan]

Asia!!!

[123Nikodemus]

"full of aids" LoL

[FeroFF]

obi wan kenobi hehe

[cloudofawesome]

whats the song at 0:13

[bozirob]

[LeonSalesLeonSales]

Yes there is another one called By Any Means its pretty good also :)

[Ross7980]

[piperryan]

Russ reminds me of David Mitchell.

[lwl0296]

asia=hot!!!

[spans82]

Its not one Country, its a Continent! But it is full of aids haha...

[Serpentisa]

[saoirse56]

when Charlie squints he looks like a pirate!

[GasVein]

ASIA!! Call me..... ;)

[da9illest821]

Lol, noticed they stayed the hell out of somalia.

[titoski12345678]

speedlite thats awesome man!!! after this i got the ballas to take a big trip in my tdm 850...going from Caracas , Venezuela to Boa Vista , brasil

[tubebyjoe2]

Amigo yo estoy planificando un viaje por toda Venezuela tomando Caracas como base. La idea es vídeo documentarlo. También quiero extenderlo hasta Perú donde ya tengo ciertas cosas adelantadas en ese sentido. Quizá podamos hablar sobre ello pues falta un rider.

Saludos

[dogfooddave2000]

Hi Titoski, did u post details of this trip on any site? Interested in doing the same

[speedlite]

After seeing LWR & LWD, i bought my first bike!!!

[lafawnduh100]

@speedlite let's go!!

[StigRossi]

@speedlite what did u buy exactly? When LWR/D first came out, I was riding a scooter. Now I ride a Ducati Multistrada but one day will get a BMW R1200GS like these guys, and hopefully take it abroad.

[TonsofFun777]

@speedlite Congrats!!

[theproducegarden]

great show

[Manny4155]

What? Why is he a fruit?

[p0ng0h]

lol, yeah riding the coat tails of a famous buddy lol

[BikerDarren24]

The best documentary ever!!!

LWR and LWD both inspiring.

[EverywhereVirtually]

@BikerDarren24 Long Way Down was spoiled by spousal interference. Two's company, 3's a crowd.

[adrian795]

LOL haven't heard it called that before:)

[RoxanaGark24]

@BikerDarren24 I agree with you

[EllysaE]

After Long Way Up, the guys take on Mars. Yup.

[9kjamal9k]

Cn somebody please tell me the song at the titles i beg you

[neilonwheels]

Stereophonics - Long Way Down

[glorys6]

does Ewan still make movies??...I remember him from The Island of course...greetings from Holland...bye

[summerbeachh]

yea his next film coming out is angels & demons with tom hanks. it will be in theaters in may

[Gyurciboy7]

Angels and Demons ....hes the bad guy :)

[jack005crybaby]

i hate that his character dies. bummer. he's great on all his movies though.

[wazawoo]

But he is Obi Wan Kenobi! The great guy!

[gattirenata]

sometimes........ the mole is there.... sometimes.... is gone...

=P but by the end of this episode... it's totally gone!

=P

[klassetompa]

Another nice trip for the duo would be Rounds Australia....some tough terrain there

[klassetompa]

Anyone heard what their next adventure will be?

[Shadow20025]

I was wondering the same thing earlier today

[snowbox22]

Charlie said he is planning by any means 2 so I dont suspect its gonna be soon

[tecna64]

they are doing long way up very soon, from the southern tip of south america to the upper tip of canada

[snowbox22]

thanks I didn't knew that

[tirimut]

It hasn't been announced officialy yet.

[tecna64]

they will do that soon

[EagleWarri0r]

That road would be spectacular.

[ThreeWordsFirstWord]

That will b amazing Canada is the most incredible place! hav u ever been?? :0-))

[tecna64]

yeah, i've bin to the glesjer on northwest canada, and then i went to the east coast, it was an amazing place to be, but the drivers cant drive for shit, some dude nearly hit my car while overtaking on a highway haha

[ThreeWordsFirstWord]

LOL we nearly had a collision with some canadian guys in a truck and it was pertrifying!

[loulew]

i live in canada... good place to visit, bad place to live.

[glorys6]

how come??? tell me more......please....greetings from Holland.....good place to visit, boring place to live......i believe....bye

[loulew]

there's about 5 places to visit in canada, I've visited every single one, and there's not much people to talk to, it's -40 here in winter, and in edmonton ther's only WEM, which is interesting to tourists, but not so interesting when u go there every weekend...

[Sting825]

West Edmonton Mall? Use your imagination...Edmonton's river valley is one of the largest continuous green spaces in North America with cycling and walking trails throughout. Yeeesh... the stupid mall...

[IIB20VTEC]

Ya but it sucks, the river is dirty and theres a good chance youll get stabbed and/or raped while walking about down there, and thats when its not covered in ice and snow. At least the mall has Imax.

[Manny4155]

What's wrong with living in Canada?

[loulew]

right now, i'm looking outside, it's snowing
