Please watch this one. The audio and visual line up in this one better than in Scooting for Peace.

I will call this a minimentuary. Too short to be a documentary, too long for most people to watch.

I sorted through 15 hours of footage to put together a video that covers most everything about a 22,000 mile trip; the concept, interviews, scenery, scooter community, elements of nature, mishaps and the godawful process of packing/unpacking everyday.

Scooting for Peace will forever mark a huge turning point in my life. Somehow, I dug deep to tap into a faith that I could accomplish this great feat. I let go of all the reasons I SHOULD NOT do such a foolish thing like ride a scooter 22k miles, ALONE, and focused on the message--planting seeds of Peace.

The only way we will have a real critical mass for change in our country is to include everyone. Which means activists must pay attention to their methods; it is easy to be absorbed in our actions and to be attached to certain outcomes. It is also easy to be so absorbed in our lifestyles that we ignore people who live differently than us. However, only a committed MAJORITY of people will ever improve our social capital.

Therefore, our message and its delivery our very important. When I traveled, I didn't tell people WHAT to think, I asked WHAT they think. This allowed me to find a common ground in almost every situation I encountered.

I also found that the very people I was told are sleeping, are the ones who came through for me on this journey.

This was an epic journey, and I invite you to read about it in the archives, at peacescooter.com.
In 2008, I finished the ride for Peace. This was the same year that the Peace sign celebrated its 50th anniversary. When I was done, my route created the biggest Peace sign in history.

VIVA LA PEACE!
