Since then pledges have slowly kept coming in - and we want to make the best of this momentum and the remaining days (campaign doesn't end until Thanksgiving). We'd love to see if we can hit an even higher goal - Kickstarter is such a powerful and unique outreach tool and we want to raise the bar as high as possible. We've designed FToM tshirts that we're really happy with (Alternative Apparel 100 percent organic cotton unisex) and want to give as many as we possibly can to the amazing people who helped us reach this goal. If we can hit our new goal, we'll be able to include a tshirt for every single person who pledged above $20. Also - with 10 days left - I have a bit of a birthday wish: to get Livestrong / Lance Armstrong to pledge a $1 to the film. If you click this link <a href="http://tr.im/f7pg">http://tr.im/F7pG</a> - it will pop open twitter, with a pre-written tweet all ready to send. I know we can do this :) I know if we just give one last hard push - we'll see some "serious shit"... to quote one of my favorite films.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Ambs">Ambs</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Documentary">Documentary</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/FToM">FToM</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Film">Film</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Kickstarter">Kickstarter</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/LanceArmstrong">LanceArmstrong</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Livestrong">Livestrong</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Mike">Mike</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Production">Production</a></p> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:25:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/37/ Ambs Documentary FToM Film Kickstarter LanceArmstrong Livestrong Mike Production pedal FToM on Kickstarter - We Did It! http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/36/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/36/" title="FToM + Kickstarter = Love²" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_fd802376_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="FToM + Kickstarter = Love²" border="0" /></a></p> 33 days ago, Amanda and I launched a brand new Kickstarter campaign to help fund the last stages of post-production: <a href="http://ksr.projectpedal.com">http://ksr.projectpedal.com</a> Since then we've been backed by over 40 people, with pledges ranging from $1 to over $500! We have raised $1,638 towards our goal of $8,300! This is an all or nothing campaign. Meaning if we don't hit $8.3k, then no one's pledges go through. Help support 'For Thousands of Miles', plus get awesome stuff like Pedal buttons, posters, autographed scripts, a 64 Days DVD with audio commentary and even my personal typewriter. If you're new to this project, take a quick moment to check out our "hi, hello" intro page <a href="http://hi.projectpedal.com">http://hi.projectpedal.com</a> :) it's a very informal, brief recap of the last 6 years. Please consider backing our film with a $1 donation, or help spread the word by liking this video, sharing our KSR project with your followers on Twitter or your friends on Facebook. We are really excited about the next stages in post - and we are very, very grateful for all of your support!<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Ambs">Ambs</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Documentary">Documentary</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/FToM">FToM</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Film">Film</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Kickstarter">Kickstarter</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Mike">Mike</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Production">Production</a></p> Mon, 05 Oct 2009 02:54:06 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/36/ Ambs Documentary FToM Film Kickstarter Mike Production pedal FToM + Kickstarter = Love² http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/35/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/35/" title="Pedal - Vlog Week 92" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_ca00336e_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Pedal - Vlog Week 92" border="0" /></a></p> Up past my bed-time getting some writing done - wanted to check in to update people on how writing has been going, and also to say thank you for all the amazing support we've been seeing through Kickstarter. ksr.projectpedal.com (this will redirect) blog.projectpedal.com forthousandsofmiles.com<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Ambs">Ambs</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/FToM">FToM</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Mike">Mike</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Pedal">Pedal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Post-Production">Post-Production</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Project">Project</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Update">Update</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Vlog">Vlog</a></p> Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:48:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/35/ Ambs FToM Mike Pedal Post-Production Project Update Vlog pedal Pedal - Vlog Week 92 http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/34/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/34/" title="Post Production - Week 88" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_b3d85bbb.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Post Production - Week 88" border="0" /></a></p> I was up late last night working - and decided a video update was long, long overdue.

This group was one of the first people Larry ran into after having to say goodbye to his best-friend Jay earlier this morning. I know it must have been hard on Larry to carry on as if nothing was wrong or out-of-place. <a href="http://projectpedal.com http://forthousandsofmiles.com">http://projectpedal.com http://forthousandsofmiles.com</a><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Bicycling">Bicycling</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Conversation">Conversation</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Explore">Explore</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/For">For</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Glacier">Glacier</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Larry">Larry</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/McKurtis">McKurtis</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Miles">Miles</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/National">National</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Park">Park</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Pedal">Pedal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Project">Project</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Thousands">Thousands</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Travel">Travel</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/of">of</a></p> Tue, 23 Jun 2009 12:53:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/33/ Bicycling Conversation Explore For Glacier Larry McKurtis Miles National Park Pedal Project Thousands Travel of pedal Teaser 015 http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/32/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/32/" title="Stockpile Promo" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_2bced569_v2.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Stockpile Promo" border="0" /></a></p> FToM focuses strongly on the idea of being connected by the places we've traveled. Rooted in the maze of back-roads stretching from small-town to small-town... all of us who've traveled by bike share in a personal experience that is difficult to put into words. Stockpile is a element of our feature film, an out-reach campaign to collect a pool of raw media from other travelers and with it, help visually express that our experiences on the road are intertwined in ways we often over-look.

At this point in the trip Larry didn't even own a tent, I'm not quite sure how he managed to sleep and stay dry. He used a tarp and a picnic table to create a kind of make-shift tent. It's a strange thing to be so cold and so wet in weather like this - and not have a real roof over your head. Not only for just a few hours, but for days. When the sun finally comes out and hits your skin - it's an amazing feeling to be back on your bike. <a href="http://projectpedal.comhttp://forthousandsofmiles.com">http://projectpedal.comhttp://forthousandsofmiles.com</a><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Bicycle">Bicycle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Cold">Cold</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Explore">Explore</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/FToM">FToM</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/For Thousands of Miles">For Thousands of Miles</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Glacier National Park">Glacier National Park</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/HD">HD</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Larry McKurtis">Larry McKurtis</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Pouring">Pouring</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Project Pedal">Project Pedal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Raining">Raining</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Teasers">Teasers</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Travel">Travel</a></p> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:37:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/31/ Bicycle Cold Explore FToM For Thousands of Miles Glacier National Park HD Larry McKurtis Pouring Project Pedal Raining Teasers Travel pedal Teaser 014 http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/30/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/30/" title="Teaser 013" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_6c42e6b3.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Teaser 013" border="0" /></a></p> This was taken around out 9th morning of our trip - we're either on the far end of Washington or just getting into Idaho. In the background you can half see a group of female bicyclists that we ran into several times up until Montana. They had a pretty inspiring mindset about traveling - and one of the women would later email me on the memories from her ride, saying: "...It haunts me now like a dream that only exists in my head, separate from everything in my day to day 'real' life."I thought that was one of the most perfect and beautiful ways I'd ever heard a person describe the after effects of their trip. On a tech note - this shot was taken with the Fx1 and the SGPro adapter :)<a href="http://projectpedal.comhttp://forthousandsofmiles.com">http://projectpedal.comhttp://forthousandsofmiles.com</a><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Bicycle">Bicycle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Campsite">Campsite</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Explore">Explore</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/FToM">FToM</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/For Thousands of Miles">For Thousands of Miles</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/HD">HD</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Larry McKurtis">Larry McKurtis</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Project Pedal">Project Pedal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/SGPro">SGPro</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Teasers">Teasers</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Travel">Travel</a></p> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:29:02 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/30/ Bicycle Campsite Explore FToM For Thousands of Miles HD Larry McKurtis Project Pedal SGPro Teasers Travel pedal Teaser 013 http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/29/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/29/" title="Teaser 012 (16mm)" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_655837f8.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Teaser 012 (16mm)" border="0" /></a></p> This is the first teaser from the 16mm footage we took during the trip. This is probably my favorite shot out of all four reels... the speed and feel to it is very beautiful. All the 16 was shot with the intention of acting as a "memory" for Larry. I just wish I had more than the 15 minutes I have - it intercuts very powerfully next to the HD footage. <a href="http://forthousandsofmiles.comhttp://projectpedal.com">http://forthousandsofmiles.comhttp://projectpedal.com</a><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/16mm">16mm</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Bicycle">Bicycle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Explore">Explore</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/FToM">FToM</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/For Thousands of Miles">For Thousands of Miles</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Gold">Gold</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/HD">HD</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Project Pedal">Project Pedal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Sunset">Sunset</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Teasers">Teasers</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Travel">Travel</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Wheat Fields">Wheat Fields</a></p> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:15:04 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/29/ 16mm Bicycle Explore FToM For Thousands of Miles Gold HD Project Pedal Sunset Teasers Travel Wheat Fields pedal Teaser 012 (16mm) http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/28/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/28/" title="Teaser 011" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_4b473fd6.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Teaser 011" border="0" /></a></p> This was one of the rare days that the wind was to Larry's back - which also meant that I didn't have to fight the wind when working the crane. Most days it felt like trying to steady a massive sail with a camera on the end of it - but this day, the wind kept perfect pace with us, and I could move the camera almost anywhere without any real resistance. This shot is a snippet from the middle of a longer 360˚ that follows Larry. But if I posted the whole rotation, it would be about 2 min... and that's not much of a teaser. <a href="http://projectpedal.comhttp://forthousandsofmiles.com">http://projectpedal.comhttp://forthousandsofmiles.com</a><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Bicycle">Bicycle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Empty Road">Empty Road</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Explore">Explore</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/FToM">FToM</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Fields">Fields</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/For Thousands of Miles">For Thousands of Miles</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/HD">HD</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Jib">Jib</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Larry McKurtis">Larry McKurtis</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Project Pedal">Project Pedal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Teasers">Teasers</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Travel">Travel</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Trip">Trip</a></p> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:08:04 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/28/ Bicycle Empty Road Explore FToM Fields For Thousands of Miles HD Jib Larry McKurtis Project Pedal Teasers Travel Trip pedal Teaser 011 http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/27/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/27/" title="Teaser 010" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_68203bf.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Teaser 010" border="0" /></a></p> This is almost a cut & paste right from the first 14 minutes of the feature film - I just decided to pull the music out because I'd like to keep that a secret... or something like that.

This sunset and the blades of grass in the wind with the crickets reminds of 'Days of Heaven'. There's something about this clip that is heavily nostalgic for me. I can remember so clearly nights from my past bicycle trips, laying in my sleeping bag on the grass... hearing the bugs... watching the sun sink behind the horizon as I tried to finish writing in my journal about that day when I'm watching this. Hope you enjoy it.

It was a very beautiful area... big skies... endless evergreens... slow climbing hills. I remember when logging and tagging this footage - just how much we captured here...

The last two weeks that we've been working on this has been exciting, I didn't realize how much I miss posting new episodes. I'm watching the progress bar on Vimeo slowly climb past 8% and it's a little before 1 in the morning as I'm writing this. It's gonna be a long night - but it's worth it. So - a brief introduction to this episode. This is the 9th episode overall that we've put out, and it's the 4th chapter in the 64 Days series. It introduces in greater detail the three crew members: Olan, Olivier, and Jef. Who all flew out from Belgium to work on Pedal without any pay... at least yet, I hope I'll be able to change that when the film is finished *fingers crossed* Our time on the road with them taught us both so much. It was an experience I will never forget - and never really know how to properly put into words. Well, enough talk. I hope you enjoy it. Amanda and I worked very hard on it. If you do enjoy it, as always we'd love to hear your comments and questions - but also, if you have a twitter account, we'd really be flattered if you send out a quick twitter about it. Here's a link to the PDF of episode 9's script <a href="http://tr.im/1ftz">http://tr.im/1ftz</a> - This was scanned in about two weeks ago, so you'll notices some slight differences in what's typed out and what ended up in the timeline. We tend to make small changes and rearrange the edit up until the last minute. Thanks for being so patient with us - and thanks for all the support.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Ambs">Ambs</a> (<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/66.53/Ambs/">1:06</a>) , <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Ambs">Ambs</a> (<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/66.53/Ambs/">1:06</a>) , <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Jef">Jef</a> (<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/66.53/Jef/">1:06</a>) , <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Jef">Jef</a> (<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/66.53/Jef/">1:06</a>) , <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Mike">Mike</a> (<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/66.53/Mike/">1:06</a>) , <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Mike">Mike</a> (<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/66.53/Mike/">1:06</a>) , <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Olan">Olan</a> (<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/66.53/Olan/">1:06</a>) , <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Olan">Olan</a> (<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/66.53/Olan/">1:06</a>) , <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Olivier">Olivier</a> (<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/66.53/Olivier/">1:06</a>) , <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Olivier">Olivier</a> (<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/66.53/Olivier/">1:06</a>) </p> Thu, 27 Nov 2008 07:10:17 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/21/ Ambs Ambs Jef Jef Mike Mike Olan Olan Olivier Olivier pedal 64 Days - Part 4 http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/20/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/20/" title="64 Days - Part 3 - Extended Edit" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_1c5b8d91_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="64 Days - Part 3 - Extended Edit" border="0" /></a></p> If you're new to the project, you can catch up here <a href="http://hi.projectpedal.com">http://hi.projectpedal.com</a> I guess I should start this post off by answering two questions: 1) "Why did we re-release Episode 8?" And 2) "Do I really have to re-watch this?" First; Episode 8 was extremely exhausting for Amanda and I to write, record and edit. And by the time we were 2/3rds of the way finished cutting it together, we stepped back and said, "ehh, this is getting long, I think it's good enough the way it is now". And we chopped off the whole ending we had written. What bugged us about doing that after the fact, was that the ending is what tied the whole episode back into the rest of the 64 Days series <a href="http://sixtyfourdays.com">http://sixtyfourdays.com</a> And second; If you're pressed for time, then my honest answer would be, "No.", you don't have to watch the *whole* thing. But if you wanted to see the major change, then you could skip to the last 3 minutes. As for the rest, there are only minor changes... many things taken out, several small things added in. I believe Amanda and I said this before, when we first posted Episode 8, that we would never be 100% happy with this episode. That there was just too many things that could never be squeezed in - but I think we both try to remind ourselves that 8 was one of our most successful episodes. Not in number of views, but definitely in comments and reaction. People really opened up after watching it, and no matter how many little things we know we had to leave out, I think we still managed to make something people can relate to. Okay, enough stalling. I hope you like the extended cut of this episode. As always we'd love to hear your comments and questions - but also, if you have a twitter account, we'd really be flattered if you send out a quick twitter about it.

I love this part of the country - the big sky, the endless green. It's all so flat and boring and unchanging... but something about it really eats away at you after a trip. <a href="http://projectpedal.com http://forthousandsofmiles.com">http://projectpedal.com http://forthousandsofmiles.com</a><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Documentary">Documentary</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Documentary">Documentary</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Film">Film</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Film">Film</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/For Thousands of Miles">For Thousands of Miles</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/For Thousands of Miles">For Thousands of Miles</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Larry McKurtis">Larry McKurtis</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Project Pedal">Project Pedal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Project Pedal">Project Pedal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Teaser">Teaser</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Teaser">Teaser</a></p> Wed, 26 Nov 2008 23:11:02 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/19/ Documentary Documentary Film Film For Thousands of Miles For Thousands of Miles Larry McKurtis Project Pedal Project Pedal Teaser Teaser pedal Teasers 006 http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/18/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/18/" title="Teaser 005" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_1ebf103e.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Teaser 005" border="0" /></a></p> This day was a really long, slow climb for Larry - the hills just kept winding their way through the evergreens and after every turn, was another upward slope. We pulled off the road after a while and walked around on a hill-side. Where we took this shot, and tons of other ones. We used all of our equipment on that hill: our Fx1 (with the 35kit), the Z1u, and Olivier's 16mm. It was a beautiful spot - and I hope to go back and sit there one day... just take in the view :) <a href="http://forthousandsofmiles.com http://projectpedal.com">http://forthousandsofmiles.com http://projectpedal.com</a><p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/" >pedal</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Documentary">Documentary</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Documentary">Documentary</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Film">Film</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Film">Film</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/For Thousands of Miles">For Thousands of Miles</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Project Pedal">Project Pedal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Project Pedal">Project Pedal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Teaser">Teaser</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/tags/Teaser">Teaser</a></p> Wed, 26 Nov 2008 23:07:02 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/18/ Documentary Documentary Film Film For Thousands of Miles Project Pedal Project Pedal Teaser Teaser pedal Teaser 005 http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/17/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/pedal/videos/17/" title="Teaser 004" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_c90b8e53.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Teaser 004" border="0" /></a></p> This was the last time I laid in the grass.
