Amazing, fantastic, awesome movie. The unicycling action is incredible, mind-boggling, unbelievable; the footage of the scenery around Bhutan is breath-taking; the editing etc. is extremely good and full of lovely artistic touches, cutting between crazy unicycle riding and brief close-ups of dew dropping off leaves, unusual wildlife, etc. You also get gambling games, archery, Bhutanese temples impossibly perched on sheer mountainsides, surreal riding through Buddhist prayer flags, and loads more. Only once was my patience stretched, a slightly long section talking to a local historian about the yeti. The guys doing it - particularly Kris - are obviously crazy but that goes with the territory :-). I showed this to a bunch of (non-unicycling) friends on a big screen and the consensus was that it was among the most beautiful movies they'd ever seen - and about the most mind-expanding too.

Buy it, watch it, you will not be disappointed!
