What the heck was the cool adventure film, Jason Kruk? Bicycle? Central Asia? Tajikistan? Uzbekistan?
Getting drunk with border guards?

that the one?

no jason kruk, tajikistan or uzbekistan...

but you do get a sweet adventure film involving central asia, kyrgyzstan, bicycles, climbing and kyle dempster....

if it's not what you're looking for, this one is worth a watch as well...

He's not a climber, but 25, with a big adventure Jones.
He's doing 22 months down Pan American to Patagonia.
He's seen 180 degrees South.

Any other cool links anyone wants to share?

If you are into modern adventure with a rap soundtrack - perhaps steer young Indy to the Viceland Channel -

Survival! That Kyle Demster film was quite the adventure. Like you, I remember watching it on some TV channel & it was pretty amazing, but it had been a long day.

Best wishes to the family & friends of Kyle.

From a post from a friend of Kyle's on the subject: credit to Brendan at Semi-Rad.

http://semi-rad.com/2016/09/remembering-kyle-dempster-alpinist-barista-superhero-regular-guy/

In the summer of 2011, Kyle took a BOB Trailer full of climbing gear and his complete Kyrgyz vocabulary of 10 words to Kyrgyzstan, planning a two-month bike-powered climbing trip. He was supposed to shoot video of the trip to satisfy some grant requirements, so he packed a camera as his only travel partner. Throughout the trip, which became an adventure in the best and worst senses of the word, Kyle recorded video diaries. He later said that the video camera became something like Wilson, the volleyball Tom Hanks’ character had for company in Cast Away.

Really appreciate that Kyle Dempster film. After watching it 3 times, I almost feel I know him, and feel the loss.

Wow, Biotch, I finally watched that trailer you shared.

WTF? That looks burly too! I'd like to see the whole thing.
