Review There are plenty of motorcycle DVDs on the market to choose from... but few of those available today are equal to the quality of those produced by Helge Pedersen and his crew at GlobeRiders. As an individual with extensive expertise in audio and television production, and documentary filmmaking, I feel like I watch these types of films with a very critical eye. Nothing annoys me more than poor audio quality on a DVD... That isn t an issue with the offerings from GlobeRiders they are cranking out DVDs with high production standards that look good and SOUND good. And trust me there are plenty of folks in our world making motorcycle DVDs who don t know how to use a microphone or mix sound very well. I ve watched at least a half-dozen of the GlobeRiders films and they are both informative and inspiring. I learn something and I get the itch to travel to yet another country. For example, get yourself a copy of the Indochina Expedition DVD. I ve watched it twice. A fascinating journey, superior camera work and again you can HEAR what is going on... --BMW Owners News P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Actor Helge Pedersen is the author of 10 Years on 2 Wheels and founder of GlobeRiders motorcycle touring company.

Cool Indochina Adventure !!!
Absolutely stunning photography of Vietnam and other countries in southeast asia. The film was very captivating but even though it was quite exciting I guess my only complaint was that it finished kind of abruptly and seemed to rush through the final countries of the journey and I would like to have seen more on Thailand and Malaysia but in all fairness it was primarily about Indochina specifically but I think an extra 10 or 15 minutes covering the end of the adventure would have felt more complete but all in all this was a very worthwhile film.

I just like the ones where there aren't groups
In this documentary, Helge just rides with his friend Chris Poland. I own all of these videos, and quite frankly, I just like the ones where there aren't groups. It feels like you're riding along with a good friend or two in this video. You don't get any of the motorcycle snobbery/elitism that you see in some of the other videos.

This didn't hold our attention like Ewan and Charley did in "Long Way Round
But it was good. It was interesting that GlobeRiders also rode BMW bikes, just like Ewan and Charley did.

Amazing Motorcycle/Travel Documentary!
GlobeRiders IndoChina is a fantastic film! It offers fun motorcycle action, beautiful landscapes and cinematography, and insightful cultural experiences. And Helge Pederson and Chris Poland are a great adventure duo. I don't even own a motorcycle, but after seeing this film I'd love to take some lessons and travel the world!
