    This brought a smile to my face. Also, I’m buying one of those scooters once they are back in stock. I’m a long boarder but I live in a great area for bike touring so this seems like a great challenge.

      As a (former) longboarder I know for sure that a scooter trip is a great way to travel. So glad this brought a smile to your face

    Dave! Will swift be able to build your gear racks for me on a zero?

    • @davecornthwaite
      @davecornthwaite  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not sure where they are at the moment with racks, but I do know they're one of the most helpful companies I've ever connected with and will always receive and reply to questions. If you haven't already drop them a line :)

    Hi Dave great movie! Was this really entirely shot on an iphone? I think of attending one of your iphone filming workshops, but only if you think iphone 5 s would be enough? :) (not planning an upgrade soon, rather getting a go pro etc..) Please advise cheers :)

    This is cool Dave. I planing to use Kick scooter for my short trip in Tokyo&Osaka too but not tough like your trip. for me just for less walking. First, I wondering that i can kick it instead of walk on street or footpath. Is it legal? Can i bring it in JR Train or Bus? but i see this clip,i think it should be fine^^ or anything i should know. Can you suggest me? Thank you
