- Documentary film of the 2016 attempt to climb and ride the two highest mountains in Africa back to back on mountain bikes, Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya. They were the first to attempt this challenge and they rode more than anybody has ever ridden on the way down with their extreme biking and trials skills.

Back in late 90s my dad attempted to climb kilimanjaro, because my mums always wanted to climb it. Unfortunately she passed away but her ashes are on top. My old man was under a 1000ft from the summit before he had to come back down otherwise he wouldn't be here today. But someone my dad made friends with on the trip completed the task. altitude sickness is no joke!
"Life is more about collecting moments, not things."
Too true!
I love that
You need to collect things, to be able to collect moments..
@@The_Dude_420 You could not be more wrong, take it from an old person. My nephew is truly living the dream and he is doing it with very little money. I on the other hand started to live the dream but backed off because I thought I too needed to collect stuff, I could have not been more wrong.
It's a fact that more you will have things (and money), more you will be able to live intense moments. How would you ride the Kilimanjaro without having collected things before that ? Bikes are not free. Flights are not free. Life is not free (in our society). Ask to a homeless if he is enjoying his life... People who tell you they enjoy their life with nothing don't see that they have already many things.
I like collecting things
I sit watching this again after watching it 3 years ago thinking what if .. Last year I promised myself id get to the alps on Mt Blanc but without a bike it didnt feel the same .. This still calls and again inspires me .
Those views on Kilimanjaro were amazing. Like another planet.
"I thought that if Hans could do it, I could to it too!" - Danny
Famous last words.
come to africa he said
it'll be fun he said
“Fail to prepare, prepare to fail”
"see ye in a wee bit" - Danny exits via helicopter
Brilliant. How many fallen would-be-heroes have thought that over the years?! Danny did brilliantly to recover as well as he did.
Damn… Hans “No Way” Rey. When I was 11 at World Cup in Mammoth Hans signed my poster, and Libor Karas actually let me ride one of his 20” custom red Cannondale trials bikes. After all of that though… Ot Pi from Monty ended up winning like always back then lol… Such fond memories.
As usual the camera man is the unsung hero !
Absolutely breathtaking. Hans, you were the inspiration behind my very first mountain bike, a GT back in 1990. Watching this has brought back all my love and joy of biking, almost 30 years later. Thank you.
Danny MacAskill is an innovator, magician on a bike. INSPIRATIONAL FOR ME. And I'm 46 years old. And I'm pushing me to the limit. I love it!
Unbridled joy in those guys at the end, as beautiful as the sights.
I was so inspired by this I nearly got up off the couch
Seriously though, Amazing
Brilliant film. Your cinematography was excellent and really helped to capture the incredible landscapes! I know that it was not easy riding the first parts from the top. There is still very little oxygen to be doing hard riding even if it is downhill!
I climbed Kilimanjaro in 1991 and was happy to see it hasn't changed much. I really remember seeing Kibo hut in the distance and thinking it was closer than it was. The air is so clear up there that it is hard to judge distance. When I was there we walked across ice all the way between Gilman's Point and the summit. It was treacherous because it got very slippery when the sun warmed the air and the surface of the ice.
It is wonderful what you are doing with the bicycle donations. I am currently sponsoring two young girls in Kenya to go to school in a remote village. It is very satisfying knowing that you are helping people to help themselves. Cheers from Costa Rica! Come and ride here! It's amazing!
What a flipping view! Simply breathtaking.
Wow ! amazing M.bike journey ! it's should be unforgetable of your life ! may be just can do one time,...
Aloha from Hawaii Hans, we met at a local race here back in the 1900's and you and I spoke of that calendar shot you did at Nualolo on Kauai. So good to see you still at it. Just want to give you and your wife my blessings for donating those 230 bikes with people in need. Excellent ! Great video, as always.
Absolutely amazing.... Did Hans tell poor Danny in advance what really lies ahead climbing these mountains? So cool he managed to come back and finish the second part. And Hans himself? Still a beast and such an inspiring person with great bike skills and his great social effort. Keep up the good work. And also congrats to Gerhard, who also did conquer both summits and descents...
And last but not least THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing it all without e-bikes!!!!! ***** Collect moments, not things*****
Thank you very much for taking me along it was breathtaking. It made me feel like I was there....
That night ascent brought back painful memories. My wife and I climbed Kili in Sept 2010. That final ascent was easily the most difficult experience of my life. My wife was essentially unconscious through it until we reached Stella Point. We got to Stella Point just before sunrise. Our porters handed out the greatest cups of tea I have ever had (I am a coffee drinker). After that, it was a leisurely stroll up to Uruhu Peak. I sure wish we had bikes for the descent. That would have been a blast. Thanks for the video.
Marvelously documented. Hans "No Way" Rey, you're still amazing. What an inspiration. How great with Hans and Danny.
Dear Hans: What a huge tour de force! Congrats to you, Danny and Gerhard. Hans, you have been a big inspiration for me. Because of you I bought a GT Zaskar and rode with it offroad and many years as a bike messenger. I experienced extremely good moments on GT Bicycles. For me the best brand on the planet. The brand with a big cult factor - because of you. Please tell GT to reproduce this classic Zaskar Aluminium silver. Many fans would be really amazed.
Great that you give bicycles to the African people and a big inspiration to the world.
You are a real legend.
So that's why they call them mountain bikers and mountain bikes.
An amazing adventure, done with such heart and compassion for the communities they came through. I believe that if you have the chance to improve someone's life, do it without thinking further.
Fantastic video. What a journey.
Well done to all who took part.
Hats off to you all.👍
What a film. One of my memories of my childhood was looking out the window of a DC 10 on the biggest sand pit in the world and being told it was the Sahara Desert. Having been born in Africa I feel a certain belonging to films from my homeland and this was up there with the best. What an inspiration and Danny your a legend following in a whole line of Scots explorers to Africa and Missionary's like my now departed Dad.
Lifetime dream to do something like this fair play Toni guys absolute machines 🤟🏻🙏
Heading back down is one rare ride where the longer you pedal & further you go, the *easier it is to breath!*
Climbed Mt. Kenya, almost climbed Kili... great shots, great adventure thanks Hans and the rest for this inspiring video.
the first person to do this on a cargobike deserves a medal
Great video. These guys are pros. I loved this video.
From Tanzania this is great
Hans, many years ago (I think it was late 90's) I met you at a Trial Show in Laax Switzerland. It was THAT Moment of Inspiration for me. I bought your book "No Way - Bike Trial Tricks" and I started working on my trial skills. I'll never forget these countless hours standing in front of my tv, watching "Vom Winde verweht" and working on my balance... I hate this film since then, but it was worth it! :) I loved my GT Zaskar LE and thanks to you and this Incredible bike I had the time of my life! btw: if you should have a frame laying around from 1996 size M I would pay nearly everything for it! Thank you so much!
I think my nephew has one of my old Zaskars from those days that he is willing to sell....
@@Hansnowayrey Really? Would be sooo awesome! What size is the Frame?
honestly i always love hiking i wish i had a chance
God blessed you! Bikers Brasil.
Hans Rey and Danny MacAskill in one video! YT recommendation got it right this time!
Most epic bike ride I have seen yet. I push myself when biking but what I do is nothing compared to this.
Amazing well worth putting they body,s through the pain barriers for the views and descents . Respect too the three of them something they will never forget. High 5 👍👍👍
Wow what beautiful view..so amazing..great job guys..👌🚴
Danny's purple lips says it all. amazing feat guys. 🙏
Hans, What an absolute beast. What a cool experience to have. Glad Danny was able to recover and summit with you guys.
making your goal more productive by giving bikes to the community is simply a humanitarian thing you did. more power to you guys.
Hans, you are still kicking it, No limit :) Has some ultra nice shots, lovely!
Great to watch again. Create goals..I'm 60.
Not done yet..
Hans made mountainbiking so popular back in the 90‘s
He‘s a legend and needs to get a golden hall of fame jacket.
Great Video and greats from Germany.
I did Kilimanjaro when I was 16. An experience that changed my life. Loved this video it bought back some amazing memories... well done everyone!!
My take on the two mountains: Mt. Kenya is very beautiful, the lakes, lush vegetation, valleys. However, Mt. Kilimanjaro takes the view both from the top and the base (from the Kenyan side of course) - out of this world, then you have that massive glacier, and of course the title - the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
you guys are just awesome and blessed.surely there is no limit to the human spirit.thank you guys for making as believe.and welcome back to kenya
The most important about this adventure:
The bikes donation for the people what really needed.
Bravo!
Nice video guys! Thanks for the experience!! Nice views!
This story is amazing and great to watch! Thanks for that. But it would be great if you could tell the other half of the story too. Porters and guides are not waiting at the hut to cheer for you. They are the ones carrying your tents, sleeping bag, warm clothes, food, additional camera gear and everything else you need up there. They make sure that you are safe so you can ride/carry your bike to the top. And yes... they are the ones carrying 20kg up the mountain every single time.
Don´t get me wrong, this is a great adventure and video. This makes that I want to go back and bring my bike too :D. But its time to change the perspective and tell that all this is possible because of dozens of local heroes helping you.
Dude that was sick
Thank you for this I cried watching the villagers you all are angles born on peddles god bless 🇨🇦
I’m very impressed with you as a mountain biker but even more impressed by you as a human being
It's good to see you guys pursuing epic adventures on real bicycles instead of the motorized variety. Keep up the good work!
It's called real adventure 🤯🤯
And now I want to see you guys climbing Mt Everest.
*best video in the world*
This was one of the most inspirational videos I’ve ever watched! I loved it so much you guys are crazy!!
This was a really great video, I'm outta breathe from watching you guy's. Hanz, what a beautiful act of love you have shown the most gracious and beautiful people of Kenya. If you don't mind, where was the very last scene shot with all the locals having a great time singing and smiling. Much respect to you, I think the title "The Two Wheeled Ruppell's" would be fitting for you, iron lungs! You guy's were amazing to watch.
Amazing combo of you guys, so happy to see you in one video! 💪
Hope I can remain on the saddle when I reach Han's age.. he is an inspiration.. And Danny combined trials with a bit of freeriding and made mountain biking and art. You guys are legends...
Brilliant photography, amazing video!
Wow 😮 wish to have a bike too and enjoy those moments
Spectacular work gentlemen. Two thumbs full send.
You're a grade A bad ass Hans. Piling up the moments!
Excelent... adventure... which couple Rey and MacAskill and Batman y Robin ... 🇲🇽😎
Unreal... Whoa, this is great.
My chi is lighten up more.... it's so satisfying to watch that nature and biking.... ohhh Good God....🙏
What a Awesome trip👍👊💪
Hans is still an animal. I remember watching him compete at World Cup in early 90’s. Him tomac, giove. Tinker. It was the pinnacle of mtb
Absolutely AMAZING! And made EVEN better by the wonderfully friendly Kenyan people!
Nice one guys!
Congratulations Danny and friends! That's quite an accomplishment! Thanks for sharing the journey!
Hey Hans Rey! Fully sick vid! Awesome descents! Thanks for sharing your MTB adventures!
Amazing work guys! Getting your own equipment to the top...two thumbs up.
I have been there Hiking Up the Kili.... But sending the Machame Route would be another level!!!
Unglaublich beeindruckendes schönes Abenteuer, meinen vollen Respekt an Euch.
This is just beautiful.. Live on Hans, Danny and Gerhard Czerner. This is the best thing i have watched about mountain biking this year.
Had goosebumps at the end watching this , totally awe inspiring. Hans Rey could take Chuck Norris in a square go , what a dude. Bravo.
I saw Hans and subbed🔥🔥🎯🍻🍻🍻 You made biking cool man! Saw you live in ft collins CO in the 90s. You jumped off a cimi truck on a 200-300$ bike. I was a young teen and still remember that day. I guess Danny is ok too 😂😂🌅🌅. Awesome content and I look forward to much more 👊
Life is more about collecting moments, not things, i cried with that phrase. Beautiful and wonderful proyect! Thank you so much for sharing that moment with us!!
Amazing!
Danny my hero you did it.
That was awesome! Thank you!
Legend..love it..🤘
Summitting Kili in July (unfortunately not on MTB.. but still). Recommend you guys make the hop over to Uganda. incredible untouched trails here - including the Rwenzori ranges... third highest peak on the continent at 5109 m ASL
That's crazy. Altitude kills and I've been to Everest. Many evacuated even before reaching base. Big respect Hans, Danny and Gerhard. Keep on riding!
Respect. Big respect. Great vid.
Simply amazing!
Such a fun project to work on! Thanks Hans!
Hans is a national treasure
Next thing in my list of things i must do..
Amazing!

Wow, Hans... How awesome, man!!

Watching with a grandson and quite proud of myself when, just before he gets off his bike, I blurt out " He's got altitude sickness. He has to get down." My gson was most impressed🤗
So epic! Thank you for this inspirational journey.
