SLOW RIDE HOME

3,700 miles, 11 Days... on scooters.

8 pals from the Seattle's "Soldiers of Destiny" scooter club ride 3,700+ miles of American back roads from Florida to Washington in 11 days.

SLOW RIDE HOME documents the highs & lows as the riders traverse from the white sand beaches of FL through some of the most beautiful - and sometimes most desolate - pockets of the United States before finally arriving in Washington state.

Director Statement

After hearing about the Soldiers of Destiny's cross-country plan, I jumped at the opportunity to buy a scooter of my own and ride with them from Florida to Washington. This story is crafted from the unique perspective of being one of the riders! Personally experiencing a range of emotions and exhaustion played a huge part in the formation of the film. This documentary is full of adventure, comedy and the right amount of frustration that will make you want to try a two-wheeled trip of your own.
