Congratulations to Alex for his winning video submission “The Modern Motorcycle Diaries”. If you have not had the chance to check out this video, it is a must see! I found the video footage and Alex to be captivating to say the least. Alaska to Argentina in 500 Days, the sights and roads of a motorcycle journey, a one man video documentary of the craziest, most beautiful and intense roads the Western World has to offer. You’ll follow Alex Chacón, as he navigates through the dangerous and exciting Pan American route through the Americas on motorcycle. Ride along on his epic continuance to the famous motorcycle diaries of Ernesto Che Guevara.
Who among us would not love to take an adventure like the one depicted in this video? This of course brings us to the fact that Alex has started an adventure riding business helping others to do just that! Awesome!
As one of the commenters, said through the words of Mark Twain:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do, than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Alex, of course, is the proud winner of his choice of Shoei Neotec, Shoei J-Cruise or the Shoei GT_Air helmets. A great helmet for a great video, way to go Alex, you deserve it!
Congratulations must also go out to all of the other videographers, 16 in all, who submitted some great vids of their own. Entries consisted of everything from riding wheelies on an ATV with a plow hanging off the front, to some knee dragging fun on a winding road. Thank you for the inspiration to go out and live life to the fullest.
Check back later for the next up-coming contest.
Happy Riding!
