Mizu Kuma waits for no one
Just DL’d The Crash Reel, will watch it later on this arvo.
Is this your first viewing???
Looking forward to your thoughts!
And then vote!
Vote for KP to be Nat Geo Adventure of the year.
Even if you don’t the accompanying article is interesting!
Apparently KP is going to carry the torch during the winter games opening ceremony!!!

Yeh first viewing, and i already voted.
Report back please!!
I’m all for KP but how is he a nominee for adventurer of the year? He doesn’t really go on a so called “adventure”. Would love to vote for him but I won’t since he’s not an adventurer in my opinion. I understand if Jeremy Jones or Travis Rice gets nominated but not KP.
I think it is more an against all odds kind of thing - which is that adventure spirit!
I also don’t think you have to be the best to be an adventure.

Thanks for the heads up.
I wonder if it will change my point of view on helmets?
I think it will AJ!
But nonetheless I will be interested in hearing your thoughts.
At the Australian premiere there was a very big focus during the Q&A about the NEED to wear helmets (their words not mine) and KP himself is very pro helmet and has set up the foundation/charity “love your Brain” http://thecrashreel.com/loveyourbrain
I know of a patroller who is not a believer in wearing helmets and believes it gives people a false sense of security. She also believed that when you are doing competition tricks (for example) and fall hard enough that nothing will save you.
I completely disagree and so do most of the experts. If that was the case they they wouldn’t be mandatory for motorbikes etc…
I would love to know that patrollers thoughts if she ever saw the movie.
Whats the helmet requirement for patrollers? (if there is one)

Yeh there are a few copies on the Bay of Pirates

there isn’t much of one.
If we ask for one with our uniform we MUST wear everyday working. I have my own so not compulsory for me to wear it.
But it is compulsory to wear one whilst on a skidoo.
what did you think of the doco?
Havent seen it yet, decided a nap was more of a priority!
That doco is full on.
Lost my shit a few times throughout it.
Highly recommend it.
Will be forcing my girl to wear a helmet if she wants to ride with me next year also…
