Tough Rides: China

Good film

Unbelievable! At least that was their interpretation of everything on this trip.

Always love Ryan Pyle Productions , Always.

This is a really good show, but there is one major problem - the sound. During the narration parts, the speech is drowned out by the incidental music or the noise from the activity happening. It's only on those parts though. When the presenters are talking on camera it's fine. It's really shocking that a professionally made show can be so consistently bad in one aspect throughout.

A Royal Enfield ride through India is probably the greatest thing you could film, but the hosts? They have zero personality, they whinge constantly and never break pitch from a boring monotonous drone. That and one of them seems to be using a 240p resolution potato to film with. Then there's also the infamous Amazon Prime audio mix of really quiet speech and really loud music.

So we have 6 episodes. 3 inc with prime & 3 to pay. I will watch the 3 included but spoils the programme for me

Interesting journey by amateur riders and film makers. They do moan a bit, but well worth watching.

Loved the whole series. Great to see brazil like ive never seen before. Hope thers more.

So, this is an interesting concept, but could have been done better. It seemed over edited to fit time constraints. First, the negative. Both guys seem to complain constantly. The younger brother makes a lot of disrespectful comments and doesn't even possess elementary knowledge about China. A little research about a place you plan to visit seems standard. Also, neither guy seems to know much about bikes. I found that odd. On a positive note, cool scenery and it seemed like a cool trip. I found it somewhat entertaining. The older brother seemed to have a genuine appreciation for China. All in all, it was inexpensive and mildly entertaining.

The photography was quite good, but unlike Long Way Round I never felt like I was really involved. The early episodes were...in my opinion, sort of boring. I was about to rate it 3 starts but the later episodes pulled it up to nearly a 4. As someone else mentioned, it seemed over edited in order to fit a small time frame....and I very much agree. Would I recommend buying....well, maybe if only for the scenery. Long Way Round/Down was much more compelling in my honest opinion.

Very boring
