Did I just watch a National Geographic special??? Bravo Jeff, seriously outstanding film!! Very excited for this series!! 👏
100%
Outstanding effort
That was brilliant, feels like it was shot by a full production team. Can not wait to see what the experience will be like swapping our trails for dunes.
C'mon man, seven days...that's cruel lol
Today is the day....almost time!!
you know it!
Many have said this but this honestly felt like a national geographic doc! I’m in awe of the scenery, animals, and your amazing storytelling, and the race hasn’t even started yet!
i love that you give us some historical context
Glad to hear it! I never know how much of that people care for, but the travel is as much part of what appeals to me in these kinds of races.
Can't wait to watch each episode. Great job Jeff. And thanks for sharing
Love the music for Frankfurt😂😂😂😂
The wait for this series was long and hard, but oh so worth it.
It feels like a professional documentary; the imagery is awesome, and the story telling as well.
Can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks Rolf.
Yes let's go!!!
This is really good
Loved watching this! I grew up in Namibia and it brings back such wonderful memories seeing it in such a beautiful film. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Stellar content, here. No one tells the story of the race like you do. Kudos.

I’ve wondered if yourself and Les Stroud has ever been in contact. I bet you two could do some awesome collaboration adventure film.
Working with Les Stroud would be pretty amazing :)
