Malle Moto - The Forgotten Dakar Story

They say you only really grow at the very edge of your comfort zone. For the last three years Lyndon Poskitt has been stretching that comfort zone one kilometre at a time. From the safety of corporate existence to the freedom of a motorcycle and the open road to the biggest challenge of his life as he rides 150,000km to take part in the hardest class of the most brutal motor race in the world.
In 2014 Lyndon Poskitt set off from the UK with a simple goal, to ride round the world on his motorcycle and race rallies in every continent he visits. A voyage of discovery? Or escape? As his time on the road grew, along with his hair and confidence, it dawned on Lyndon that as the world has become smaller the idea of adventure has lost it’s way.
Inspired by the early pioneers of exploration and speed, he entered the infamous Dakar Rally, now hosted in South America. Lyndon looked to the pre-commercialised origins of the race where competitors set off with very little assistance or hope of reaching the finish line. To this day, even though the Dakar Rally has outgrown it’s humble origins, it still retains the Malle Moto class for those who seek a pure test of spirit and endurance. One man. One bike. One box of tools. 12 days and 10,000 kilometers of hard racing.
In 2017, as the only competitor to ride to the start line, Lyndon was to discover the limit of his already stretched comfort zone. There would be only one way to discover what lies beyond it…
If you liked this film don't forget that you can watch Lyndons 'Races To Places LIVE' project this January as he attempts to win the 2018 Malle Moto class of the Dakar Rally all whilst being filmed live by his intrepid film crew...

It's content like this that leads me to spend less and less time looking at a television and more and more time looking at a computer. Why in the name of god would I waste my precious few hours of relaxation after the kids have gone to bed on pop star wannabes jumping through hoops for condescending judges, D-list celebs making twats of themselves in a house, cookery programs or any number of 'reality' offerings when THIS is sat at my fingertips? Awesome film Mr Poskitt......simply awesome. Good luck for 2018!!

Wait till you see a video of how to assemble a working computer online in minutes from boxes of parts pieces of different brand names and the video person showing you how is a 5 year old little girl...all of a susden you wont feel mentally challenged and will have this compelling erg to check out newegg , tiger direct ebay, and amazon for DIY bare bones pc kits as we are men who will not be shown up by children ....and bada bing you can snap together a real pc using only a number #2 Phillips screwdriver and end up with a behemoth that runs faster than you can tell it what to do with a mouse or keyboard or voice command .. For 500 bucks it will be faster than anything in your office and cost three times less that what dell has to offer or all of wally world put together ....cool part of this deal is you get to send in registration warranty cards on every component that are usually covering said component for two years and higher end pieces will be longer coverage ....example if your 15 hundred buck Dell breaks down after 20 days you dont get anything back brand new and not even the same computer , but instead a totally "refurbished dell" (from hell) ..as you will end up with all the parts that didnt overheat from someone elses misfortune , as dell requires the whole computer sent back in the same box it came in ..even if its just a start button that fails or like in my case was the motherboard that burned out because the power supple was underrated for the load and then there is always the name brand mark up of parts you can buy anywhere for pcs at a fraction of dealer cost ...it is a mind blowing story to follow and get involved with the pc deception ring of fraud and misleading non info that are costing the public billions except bill gates , microsoft , nvidia , advanced micro devices (AMD) and of course our pals at Intel. Bomb beam boom bam..we have Intel inside

I've not had a TV license (here in Britain) for most of my life - last time was for just a year back in '96 - this exquisitely peerless video alone justifies that choice. Vast amounts of viewing choices have alway existed, first of all on video-cassettes (before that, I was too busy chasing girls to bother with TV), then DVDs/Blu-Ray and hard drives and internet/catch up. Scheduled live TV is dead.

No only self supported for the Dakar, but he rode to the race start. This is an epic documentary and all involved should be proud. It truly coveys the emotional and physical toll this race takes on Lyndon and all competitors. This is Dakar as it was originally intended, not the corporatized, whoever has the most bucks wins all.
