This past summer, a group of Russian kayakers set out to paddle in a number of beautiful locations across the globe and document their adventures on film. The result is the Ride The Planet project, which already features three great short films from the Caucasus Mountains, Norway and Kyrgyzstan, which can be seen below. All three videos are extremely well done, mixing culture, scenery and fantastic whitewater action into a single experience. I like what I’ve seen out of these films so far, and I hope there are more to come.
Thanks to my friends over at EpicTV for sharing the Ride The Planet story. Great stuff!
