FortNine’s 19-Day Around-the-World Attempt — What It Took and What It Cost
About this episode
The episode discusses FortNine's ambitious attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 19 days, drawing parallels to Jules Verne's classic novel.
In the classic 19th century Jules Verne novel, “Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours,” eccentric Brit Phileas Fogg and his French valet, Passepartout, wager they can circumnavigate the world in 80 days. That nearly three-month time table would have been a walk in the park for the Vancouver-based content team at YouTube motorcycle sensation “FortNine.”
