What is it like to live every day on a bicycle for 16,000 miles?
"Spinning Southward" is a documentary film following three bicyclists who traveled from
the far northern shores of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska through 13 countries to Ushuaia, Argentina in support
of the National Brain Tumor Society.
The riders, brothers John and Mike Logsdon and filmmaker, Nateon Ajello, were inspired by the memory of
their mothers, Jean Logsdon and Fran Ajello, who both were affected by brain tumors. By the end of their
journey in September 2006, the cyclists had raised more than $75,000 for the National Brain Tumor Society

This is a special Mother's Day Trailer of Spinning Southward, the feature length documentary of a 16,000 mile bike ride from Alaska to Argentina to honor the memory of our mothers who lost their lives to brain tumors. On the journey we raised $75,000 for the National Brain Tumor Society.
This is the latest trailer release since the original more than two years ago. Since that time, I have completed the film, incorporating new original music and animation, and am currently shopping the film around for screenings and distribution.

very aspiring photographer dreams of capturing an iconic image. It's the same kind of motivation that draws young skiers to intimidating lines in foreboding ranges and pulls ambitious climbers to Yosemite. We imagine these moments a thousand times in advance, but when we finally arrive, we are often surprised and humbled. Epiphanies require stumbling.
In 2005, photographer, writer and avid cyclist Blake Gordon set out to take the trip of a lifetime. With camera in hand, he joined brothers Mike and John Logsdon as part of their Spinning Southward Team. The Logsdon brothers were in the midst of pedaling 15,000 miles and raising money for the National Brain Tumor Foundation. Blake would join them to ride the final leg through Patagonia.
For Blake, it was almost like a math equation. Plug 2,500 miles worth of pedaling through a raw and lonesome landscape, add a couple of close friends and Blake was bound to get an image that flawlessly conveyed the essence of the Logsdon's journey. Even before his flight touched down in Santiago, Chile, he could already visualized that imagine. He already knew what this trip would be about.
Today, we present The Reckoning -- a story plucked from the pages of a young photographer's notebook. You can ride your bike to the edge of a continent, but when the road ends it doesn't always lead to neat resolutions.
