THE STORY
Every day of your life you have a choice. Do you play it safe? Do the regular. Do you stay within the confines of what you know, or, every single day do you chase something new?
It might be a dream. Something small. Ordinary maybe. Definitely an idea. A vision possible, always improbable but 100% an adventure unique to you. Nick Sanders made the choice that was right for him. It’s ordinary and it’s extraordinary. This is his film.

This film tries to illustrate the kind of psychological madness that seems to invade extreme projects of all kinds, with particular reference to my 1996 'Fastest Man Around the World' ride, original footage shown here.
