TRY TO XV 

Taking from HOW TO XV, where I like to think of myself as a bit of an expert! With TRY TO XV the tables are turned and I become a complete beginner, “trying” to learn sports from the pro’s, sometimes more successful than others.

Brew your own Craft Beer with White Frontier

Drinking a cold refreshing beer after a great day in the mountains is the icing on the cake. I have been watching Chris, the master brewer at White Frontier churns out gem after gem with all the different beers he makes and I thought… how hard can it be…?!

Try To Backflip on a Bike with Sam Pilgrim.

In this episode of TRY TO XV I learn how to do a backflip on a bike from the master, Sam Pilgrim. I was pretty nervous about the whole thing, but Sam was an awesome instructor and was able to teach me to get upside down... into a foam pit, which I think would be a requisite for learning this.

Try to Race a Drone with UFO.

In this episode of TRY TO XV, I got to go and learn from the best, Swatch & Drone Racing League pilot UFO, who taught me about racing drones and showed me his skills at the event in Nice - which was insane. I have been fascinated by drones since the beginning as a cheaper/ more effective way to film in the mountains.

I thought I was quite a skilled flyer and would be able to fly the Drone Racing League competition course... ha ha I could not have been more wrong! But this edit is not the end, just the beginning as I am going to have to get these guys to come to the mountains and film… watch this space.
