Bourne winner.
I watched the Mongolia trip section from Strongest of the Strange a couple of times recently. Scott traveled to Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia, with Pontus Alv, Muki Rüstig, Vincent Gootzen, and a young Chris Pfanner. If I recall correctly, he had a rough journey because a vegan diet isn't an easy option out there. I think the part is really cool because of the atmosphere the less traveled location creates for skateboarding. The crew still manages to find some ramps and hit a few street spots. The plaintive Neil Young song sets the proper tone for the place and the distance they travelled. It's neat to see Pfanner blast a couple of big gaps and stairs before he became a household name.
