Nick is a perfect example of what America is about and he's the kind of person who we need more of.. he came to America with nothing more than a dream and he's worked very hard to reach his goal and make his dream a reality.. the spotlight needs to be shown on him and others like him ..

Yeah, America is all about immigrants looking for money and a huge market, nothing more 😂

The whole time , im thinking he left his 1 year old daughter in New Zealand !? - did he go back for her after that first year ?

Thanks for watching! As far as I know they continue to maintain a relationship. She’s pictured multiple times in the film at their wedding, family trips, etc.

A really inspiring documentary. It shows what hard work, passion and dedication can achieve. Recently I heard a phrase: 'everybody loves the result but only a few are willing to pay the price'. Nick sure paid his price but man what a result. He and his team can be proud. Greetings from a Dutch motorcycle enthousiast! And compliments for the film maker.
