A bunch of guys from 60kph, a motorcycle club in India, went on a ride towards the north east and made a movie about that. In that group was their pack leader, Gaurav Jani, who's already done such a movie once when he made Riding Solo to the top of the World when he rode, shot, edited etc. the movie alone. This time he had company, so the movie should be better with more hands involved. They're screening it for free this Sunday 16th August 2009 in Bangalore at J.S.S Auditorium between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
The auditorium is big enough to accommodate 500 people, so please forward the invitation to people who might be interested. Trailers of the movie and their previous production Riding solo to the top of the World are available at the following link.http://dirttrackproductions.com/trailers/ridingsolo/index.html

About the film One Crazy Ride:
A motorcycle expedition on uncharted roads across the Himalayan state of Arunachal Pradesh, situated in North-east India. But more than an expedition, it's a film on friendship, camaraderie and the "never say die" attitude of five motorcyclists in the face of unforgiving terrain.
Shot with no back-up vehicle or film crew, in parts of India hardly seen, filmed or explored, the documentary captures the interactions and experiences of the riders who are trying to chart a route, which according to everyone does not exist.
Tips:
- Reading Material: A good book on for adventure motorcycle touring that I've seen is Planet Earth's Greatest Motorcycle Adventure Tours
.
- You can create some really amazing videos of your rides by getting something like a Canon VIXIA HF200 HD Flash Memory Camcorder with 15x Optical Zoom
. This and a little bit of editing can put you on the path to creating something like this movie. Try it out!
