We had the site up before the expedition began. Here are the short trips we took before we left.

Free Movie Passes

A friend of ours works for a company that does advance screenings of movies amongst other things.  We are doing a little promotion with them for the new movie "The Hitcher".  It is a thriller about a crazy hitchhiker, so if you are in the mood for a little scare(or laugh) just follow the directions […]

What Brown Can’t do for You

So here is a little vent of a blog post, but it needs to be done because we here at TWBR have had so many horrible experiences with United Parcel Service (UPS)(aka – brown). Writing tends to be therapeutic for me so here it is. Over the course of the last several months Steve and […]

Our Trailer on YouTube

Hey everyone, We are trying to get more people aware of our upcoming departure.  Many of you have already seen the trailer, but now we are trying to get its rankings up on YouTube.  The video is below.  If you have a site or a MySpace, we would be much obliged if you put this […]

Oh right..I am planning an expedition.

"That sounds so awesome."  "I am jealous" "I want to go along" "How are you going get across the ocean?" I hear statements like this almost everyday now.  Don’t get me wrong, I am truly excited about leaving and the adventures that lie ahead of us.  It still never lets up. For every time that […]

Our California Media Trip

We have officially finished editing our media trip to California.  To say the least it was a success.  We closed a few deals with sponsors, made a lot of great contacts and secured a few deals for content syndication with the media.  We have put together the following video for your viewing pleasure to get […]

The Vehicle

Obviously a trip around the world by road requires a dependable and durable vehicle. As we enter into our final negotiations with vehicle manufacturers and narrow it down to the final selection, we will have to make some difficult decisions. There are plenty of reliable vehicles out there and a wide variety have completed some […]

Ripboarding

This past weekend, Steve, Duane, our roommate Mark, and myself headed west to Glennwood Springs to meet up with a friend to do some Ripboarding. I was introduced to Shane Bolling through a mutual friend and once he started talking about his company and what Ripboarding entailed, I knew I had to try it out. Ripboarding […]

Another Great Adventure: Earthrace

I am always looking into what other adventurers and people attempting the seemingly impossible are doing and from time to time, come across some great projects. Actually, this project was forwarded to me by a friend and once I took a look, had to share it with the rest of you. The project is called […]

Kudos to Matt…

I was recently made aware of a few different sites and documentaries that exist that are pretty great.  Sometimes I get a little nervous that our idea is not as unique as we originally thought, but the best part is that all of these other people doing things similar to us are only furthering our […]

Man’s Best Friend – Sometimes

Shop has a great dog – Mogulee. She is not named after the character in the Jungle Book, but after a ski slope with lots of fun bumps in it. I have lived with Mogs for the last 7 years since she was a puppy and have helped to take care of her, so I […]
