I’m 62 and I’m retiring is in 3 months. Getting back on a motorcycle and touring this country is one of my goals. I’ve been watching a lot of motorcycle touring videos on youtube but your adventure to Alaska has truly been an inspiration to me. You managed to really capture the beauty of nature and the adventure of your trip. Traveling the Alaska hwy to our 49th state is now high on my bucket list. Thank you Shred Vision.
Thank you everyone for sharing this one with your friends and family. I appreciate the love everyone has shown for this Alaska Adventure. If you enjoyed this adventure, or have any questions about the trip, feel free to ask in the comments, and I will make sure to answer them the best I can. Hope everyone can get out there and chase their dreams. Ride safe!
Hello Chris, this is Jose, it was an awesome trip I’m glad we met and had a chance to ride for a day. You did an awesome job on this documentary I have been anxiously waiting for his to come out. Stay healthy and hopefully we can ride together again someday. FYI I am heading to the Arctic Ocean in 2026 but staying only on the Canada side well maybe only the Canadian side😂
This was easily the best motorcycle documentary I have even seen. You really did an amazing job capturing the scenery in such an epic way. It was great seeing you overcome adversity and complete your trip. Great storytelling and music. I don't know if I will ever be able to plan big trip like this in my lifetime, but you have inspired me to start trying. Keep up the great work!
YouTube: “No one will watch a 3 hour video” Chris @ Shredvision: “Hold these Hippo Hands” Fantastic video, well done.
Great video..i bought a bike 14 yrs ago to do Key West to Prudoe Bay Ak..have put 80,000 mi on the bike and havnt started the trip yet. Just turned 71..not sure now if i'll make the trip..life got in the way. For all you young guys..dont wait. Life is short...fantastic video...good job.
My name is Chuck. We met in Valdez at Eagles rest Rv park where I worked this summer. We chatted a bit (told you about my super Tenere). Great to see your footage. Thanks for sharing your memories!
The drone shots really give to the vastness of Alaska!! Im 71 am planing this ride in 2025 gotta go we have to ride adventure people !!!
Wow, this motorcycle documentary was absolutely incredible! It totally outshined 'Long Way Down' for me. Watching someone take on such a challenging journey with zero support was truly inspiring. Some of the most beautiful shots of Alaska I have ever seen. The grit, and sheer willpower you had was exciting to watch, and this film showed me what it's like to embrace a real adventure. Thank you for letting us ride along!
Hi Chris, Chris here, just thought I'd say how impressed I am, not only with this adventure but also the quality and editing of it, it's a true spectacle and I watched the whole thing in one go. Thank you! All the best from the UK.
I just completed the ride from California to Anchorage in June and took a lot of the same route. You captured the views extremely well and did an excellent job describing the ride - truly once in a lifetime. Thank you!!
As a frllow musician and biker can l just say how much this video inspired me to ride further and share my music more. I've been battling leukaemia and prostate cancer for 4 years and only got back on my motorcycle 2 years ago. I've good days and bad days and my motorcycle Triumph Bonneville is my mental health. I'm 66years old and more determined to ride my bike more than any other time in my life. Cancer has taught me to GET OUT THERE AND LIVE. Thank you for this wonderful video, it was an inspiration and very well made.
This was such an amazing adventure, and I really enjoyed watching your trip from the comfort of my couch. I could not imagine doing a trip like this solo, and you have a lot of guts to push through some tough situations. I have watched a lot of motorcycle travel videos and this one was my favorite, and your best one yet. The filming, naration, and music was amazing. Good thing you grabbed a spare chain!!!
That was epic. Fresno to AK and back in two hours. Love it! Dude, 20 days of rain, that's some perseverance. All those miles, the west coast sections are pretty spectacular. Only second to the Denali mountain scenes ... wow! Thanks for sharing.
Alaska looks like such a cool place to ride. The filming and editing was some of the best I have ever seen on a trip like this. This whole video is an inspiration for us riders to get out and push the limits of what we thought was possible. I enjoyed learning about each persons motorcycle history that you met along the way, and was drawn in by your storytelling and narration on this one. I hope this is the video that takes your page to the next level. You deserve it.
In many ways more interesting than a Hollywood film. Well done and captivating.
Hi, it's Chris Wallis (Giddy Up Chris!), I met you at Liard Springs. Thanks for including me on your awesome video. Definitely much more professional than my YouTube efforts! Lol
also dein Video hat die Natur so gezeigt wie sie wirklich ist . Ich bin beeindruckt von den Strapazen die du auf dich genommen hast. Vielen, vielen dank für die schönen Aufnahmen, Allzeit gute Fahrt. Grüße aus Germany . Robert. Ich bi jetzt fast 80 Jahre , aber das ist mein Traum den ich mir noch erfüüllen werde.
Anyone else noticed that the Lady rider dropped her gloves 🧤 on the driveway? I hope she found it
This popped up on my feed and I had to stop by and comment on such great job done capturing the beauty of Alaska. This is the most detailed Alaska trip I have seen yet, and my new favorite motorcycle documentary. I hope to travel up north one day and have an adventure of my own. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
