Movies For Your Monday
Max McCulloch - Island Time: Vancouver Island, a place where time moves a little slower. Definitely not an adrenaline fuelled video. Created by Merin Pearce and Max McCulloch. Additional footage from Liam Morgan.
Mongoose en Espana: The MTB squad sent it big in Spain and rode everything from dirt jumps to trails and street. To make up for lost time due to inclement weather, the team rode with intent and made every second on the bike count. Chris Akrigg, Brayden Barrett-Hay, DJ Brandt, Greg Watts, Paul Genovese, and Josh Hult all display their unique riding styles and leave their tracks on Spanish dirt.

Rough Cut - Chris Joslin's "Album" Part: Even the gnarliest skaters on the planet trip out on Chris Joslin. This guy is possessed to skate and test his own limits. Here's Chris’ commentary of the battles and victories he faced in putting together one of the sickest parts of all time.
The Best Bull Rider of All Time: J.B. Mauney: He’s changing the game. He does things no one else does. There’s not a title in the world that he can’t win. The best bull rider in the world, J.B. Mauney is a throwback cowboy from Moorseville, North Carolina. VICE Sports traveled with J.B. to check out his atypical workouts, his superior technique, and unrivalled work ethic that has taken him to unprecedented ground in the bull riding community.
The Wanderer - Japan: The third and final leg of #TheWanderer continues around the world to Japan. Pro skier and adventurer, Kalen Thorien is joined by local ambassador, Kiki, who together follow the path of the water from its source in the lush green mountains, into the jungle-like valleys, and ending at the sea. In addition to mountain biking and stand up paddle boarding, the duo explore the rich culture of Japan by backpacking 40km of the Shinetsu Trail, visiting shrines and temples along the way. Like the roots of a cedar tree, Japan's traditions run deep throughout the centuries. It's less about accomplishment, and more about attaining the journey. Stillness in itself is an adventure. Rather than going all out, we go in, seeking the unknown.
Loved by All - The Story of Apa Sherpa: Every spring the summit of Mount Everest draws people from around the world. But in its shadow live the Sherpa, a resilient, religious people, who, despite the riches surrounding the highest peak on earth, are still quite poor and uneducated. A child of the Khumbu, Apa Sherpa climbed Everest 21 times. Pulled away at the age of 12 to work as a high altitude porter, like so many others, he would leave his family for months, risking his life on the mountain. Through his work at the Apa Sherpa Foundation, he aims to create a different future for his people. As Apa says, "without education we have no choice."

I understand the sentiment @nprace has, I may have felt the same. But I also read an article in Cranked magazine a while ago (only in print) where they did some research. It turns out these people are mostly proud that you come to visit their area. And they can support you in a way that is safe, fun and reasonably comfortable for them too. And they know your stuff is expensive. It doesn't really matter how expensive. If you say your phone costs 100 euro and your bike 1500, they believe it and it is a lot. No need to tell it was actually four times as much.
So it isn't necessarily the tourism which would be bad. It is probably good for them. But it is too single sided. If people go there, they come for the Everest. If they could develop a more diverse tourism on the lower slopes where people would go hiking, mountainbiking etc it may also give them more choice. They can become bicycle mechanic, cook, guide, skills coach even. And if they feel brave or want the big money, they can still become a porter to help the westerns up the Everest. But I think we should have learned by now that if you're going to jump into a new culture and area, you're going to affect it. So if you're going to do it, don't create a massive imbalance by picking only one thing. Only the Everest, only the rare earth metals, only the soy beans or palm oil...
