Race Across America Review

Race Across America

Somewhere in the darkness of a person's existence they confront what scares them, what unnerves them, what makes them wonder about their very next step. This is what Race Across America captures by its essence. Whether you ride long distances or not, heck, even if you haven't ridden a bike in 20 years, buy this film. It embodies the deeper struggle of our human existence as we strive, struggle and learn from our failures. Sports are a great metaphor for life at large, the greatest of these are endurance sports, with Race Across America taking you into a greater understanding of what it means to reach for the brass ring, no matter how big, no matter how small. In this film we see ourselves in the personalities (riders and crew) as they endeavor to persevere in something so engaging that it tips the scales of common sense into the abyss. As I said, it's just like life. So if you don't learn something about yourself and about life by simply watching this film, well, you need to do it again because you weren't paying attention. Life changes in a heartbeat, in one moment you think all is lost, that perseverence is not to be had, then, in a moment, something happens. The tailwind of good news or encouragement comes along and your legs are fresher, your energy restored and you find the courage to dig deep...to go one more mile. This is what is embodied by Race Across America and its creator Stephen Auerbach. It is fantastic.

Joanne is great as she is an athlete herself and she knows athletes. If you are an athlete and you do not seek out yoga for the 'solitude' and meditative aspects solely then this DVD is for you. She gets right the point and works on common problem areas of many runners, triathletes and cyclists. A great cross-training/stretching tool you can use anytime!

Bicycle Dreams (2010) Review

Bicycle Dreams (2010)

What is it about bicycles that make a certain brand of men and women strive to do what other people only dream about?

Auerbach's movie gives an up-close and personal view of what drives the cyclists who pedal across deserts, mountain ranges and plains coast-to-coast in the Race Across America.

You feel their pain and personal struggles, you cry over their tragedies and you share their exhilaration when they finish. You hear in their own words what makes them push themselves beyond normal human limits.

By the end, you'll know the answer to the question: What do you call the last cyclist to cross the RAAM finish line?

A winner.
