Brilliant !!!

[@cedshred1676]

Awesome film!

[@alarijebiker4362]

Congratulations Chris and the rest of the team members for both achieving this adventure and the incredible video. For most people Iceland is not more than a big rock in the middle of the ocean but for a reduced group of others (included me) it is a magical place you can't remove from mind. I travelled a part of the country in my bicycle in 2019 and it was one of the most important adventure experiences of my life. Congratulations again and thanks for sharing such motivational stories.

[@glenncharles6622]

Beautiful film Chris.

[@seancasey7202]

Terrific trip and video! Great job gang…

[@danifilm7205]

so sick

[@rensbeks9795]

This looked great! The insta stories amazed me when this was happening but these images are just even more awesome! One thing I noticed, listening with headphones on there's something odd to one of the audio channels of the field recorded (interview) audio which I think should be an easy fix. Anyway, really enjoyed watching this, a long version would be very welcome!

[@mocha_rzl]

sport, photography, nature meet wild adventure🔥

[@MrShiffard]

Stunning work guys! Stuff like this really inspires me to go & explore. Beautifully shot film.
