Jolly Interesting Stuff™

If you are an avid Jolly Interesting Stuff reader, you will remember that at the start of this year I told you about a film that was being made called Dream Racer. One man's dream to complete the Dakar Rally. Well, now that film has been made. And here is the trailer.



I could wax lyrical about how inspiring it looks, but I don't think I need to. It very much speaks for itself. To keep up to date with Dream Racer and view more clips you can visit dreamracer.tv and join the Dream Racer facebook group.

On New Year's Day you may remember I told you to follow the Dream Racer blog. I hope you did because it was a great read; conveying hope and despair and joy and pain. All on a daily basis. Just to achieve a dream. Last week - against the odds - they completed the race. Yes, it sounds like a cliché, but there is nothing wrong with that. Clichés happen. And I make no apologies for being a romantic. To me there is nothing greater than to achieve when everything is stacked against you. (Which is probably why I have decided to make a new film - 'Alex Bogdanovic: My Quest For The 2010 Wimbledon Title'). Above you can see a quick montage of some of the Dream Racer footage. Lifting your bike up when you have torn triceps and an injured back is an overrated pursuit.
