- When the Cold War ended, schoolteacher Austin Vince and his friends rode around the world on Suzuki DR350s, and did something nobody had done before: They made an adventure movie about their trip, called Mondo Enduro. Millions saw their film and its follow-ups, and thousands were inspired to start their own ADV riding careers. Yet, it was an uphill battle to even get their film on television, as it was rejected by every single broadcaster.

Interesting inrerview!
Hey Austin!
Great show.
Great interview! I immediately fell in love with Austin's wacky personality when I first saw him in his BDR appearance. I was super disappointed that he crashed and had to bail on the movie/trip.
Interestingly, there is almost 0 trace of the film(s) on the internet and the website is a bust. I think there's a big, new audience for it and it's sad that we can't access his work.
Thank you interesting chat with AW. Met him several times at HU events some years ago now and even brought his book which is a bit of a tome but well worth reading. I seem to remember him saying to me that he was enjoying his life but wondered how he could move it forward ! What neither of us knew at that time was the Internet was yet to be invented which clearly opened up other opportunities for him. So whilst I totally agree with his views on how the Internet has demystified travel it has at the same time encouraged many others to travel as well. With regards to him being a pacifist I am guessing that doesn't apply if you interrupt him either teaching his pupils or talking about his travels to an audience as the look he gives you stops you dead in your tracks. 😉😉😂😂He is definitely one of life's characters.
Any idea or link where the movie/documentary Mondo Enduro is available for purchase ?
