OK here are two choices for a name for the new movie coming out on mountain unicycling in Bhutan.
I like both of them but obviously we’ve got to have only one choice eventually.
Exploring the Dragon
Into the Thunder Dragon
The reason for the Dragon, is that the English translation of the Bhutanese name for their country
is, “Land of the Thunder Dragon”.
So which one sounds the best in all your opinions?
When I give my kids a choice between 1 or 2, they usually choose 3. So
that’s what I’m doing.
I vote: Exploring the Thunder Dragon
I’m sure it will be a terrific movie, Kris! Good luck with it.

Carol, I see that we female unicyclists think alike. But I prefer it without the “the” after Exploring so its clear that Thunder Dragon is a place and not a creature.
Amazing pictures, BTW! The movie’ll be great whatever you call it.
I propose option #4, “Chasing the Dragon”, though the double entendre
may disqualify it. Thus #5, “Chasing the Thunder Dragon” or #6, “Racing
the Thunder Dragon”. How bout #7, “Grabbing the Thunder Dragon” or even #8 “Pecking the Thunder Dragon”.
Insert you favorite uni gerund or present participle and watch the fun
begin.

better then 4 in advratising unless a great intilectual leap is made with the
4th word. Plus by leaving out the “thunder” it leaves more room for
intilectual leaps on the viewers side. Allows it to play around in the
readers mind for longer, and naturaly, the more playing the reader does, the
more it sits in his/her mind afterward, and generaly, the better the product
does. plus, exploring the dragon just has a more professional feel to it.

Hi, Kris.
More comments. (Annoying, isn’t it?)
I agree with Anne and others. The term “Thunder Dragon” is neat. Getting
the risk factor in there would be more appealing. And somehow getting the
one-wheel element in there too would be ideal.
I’ve tossed around all kinds of variations, but it’s really tough to get all
these elements into a good, short title. I also agree that shorter is
better.
More possibilities:
Sole Tracks on Thunder Dragon: An Extreme Mountain Unicycling Adventure in
Bhutan
Sole Challenge of Thunder Dragon: A Mountain Unicycling Odyssey in Bhutan
However, I think I might change my vote to:
Daring the Dragon: Extreme Mountain Unicycling in Bhutan
Actually, I did better coming up with rejected titles, such as:
“One Wheel in Bhutan: Don’t Leave Holm without It”
or possibly
“Two One Tired Guys”
Sleepless in Bhutan?
Ok. That’s it. I’ll try to hold off on any further suggestions. Good luck
deciding. What an awesome trip!
<< Daring the Dragon: Extreme Mountain Unicycling in Bhutan >>
I think the nail was hit directly on the head with a large sledge hammer with
this one. just make sure the “extreme mountain unicycling in Bhutan” part is
significantly smaller or it will look corny.
do you have anyone to design your cover??? I’m pretty unemployed right now
and would work for really cheap, and i’m a fairly good designer. I dont
currently have a web-portfolio up, but i could change that pretty quickly in
return for sereous consideration.
