The Antipodes Expedition:
From Ushuaia to Inuvik by Bicycle

Antipodes meaning opposing poles, the expedition will be from one pole to the other (in practice). More amazingly, amusingly, astoundingly will be the fact that it is a bicycle journey.

Starting at the very tip of South America and covering twenty-three thousand (23 000!) km of ardurous trails, barren plains, covering jungle and peak, we will share our experiences on this website as we head towards the far reaches of North America.

Meet the people, meet the riders. Watch our hijinks as we touch cultures and come to terms with who we are and how we fit. Is the Antipodes Expedition just a "Bicycle Built for Two Llamas?" stay tuned and find out!

The more people come the greater our chances are of getting the film out to other festivals, so please get the word out and help us get the film out there and seen by as many people as possible.
With this film I really hope to be opening a small window to the world beyond our daily lives.

This film has been two years of editing and production since my return from the Antipodes Expedition. All done on a shoestring budget without any grants or outside funding; the ethos of making the film really follows how we lived the expedition. We lived as nomads as self sufficient as possible on two wheels. Making the film has been similar, relying on our determination to get through, learn the skills and overcome all the challenges of telling a story on film.
This film would not have been possible without the tremendous commitment and energy poured in by Ian Hinkle. He had experience in expedition documentary filmmaking with his very successful film "The Living Coast" he was able to help take 19 months of footage from an expedition he did not even take part in and become familiar enough with all the footage to tease out a beautiful silver thread of a story that crosses half way around the world.
