Ep. 736: Paragliding off Volcanoes - Revisited - Adrian Garza Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

When Adrian’s wife thought it would be a good idea to learn how to Paraglide, she probably didn’t foresee that in a relatively short amount of time, her husband would be summiting and flying solo off volcanoes near their home in Mexico City.

Obviously, Adrian took to the sport quickly and it gave him a completely different view of his other favorite hobby, climbing. But with their recent family addition of a little girl and limited time off work, Adrian needed a way to summit mountains over 18,000 feet and return home in the same day. This led him to sleeping in a hypoxic chamber to decrease the amount of time needed to acclimate to high elevation. Talk about dedication to adventure. What’s your excuse?

Adrian will also be supporting Marko Hrgetic in the Red Bull X-Alps this June.

Ep. 735: The Disappearance of Snowboarder Marco Siffredi on Everest - Jeremy Evans May 31, 2021

Show notes

From Rowman.com:

“Marco Siffredi was the first person to make a complete snowboard descent of Mount Everest in 2001, and was regarded by many as the world’s best snowboarder. But the following year in 2002, Marco mysteriously disappeared on Everest while attempting a more difficult route known as Hornbein Couloir, an unrelentingly steep, difficult to access route with a high failure rate. Using exclusive never-before-granted interviews with family and friends, Evans aims to solve Everest's greatest mystery in nearly a century while exploring Marco's pursuit of a dream, his love of freedom and adventure, and how his French family was forever altered by his loss.”

Jeremy Evans is a climber, snowboarder, award-winning journalist, and the author of The Battle for Paradise and In Search of Powder. Through his writing and adventures, he has connected with the most influential people in the climbing and skiing/snowboarding industries and encouraged them to tell their stories. This was most evident with subjects in the outdoor adventure field where Jeremy has been able to connect with climbers, skiers, and snowboarders worldwide.

Ep. 734: From Engineer to a Backpacking Career - Revisited - Jessica “Dixie” Mills May 27, 2021

Show notes

Originally aired June 3, 2019

When Jessica Mills, aka “Dixie”, quit her engineering job and began her first thru-hiking adventure of the Appalachian Trail, she never imagined her YouTube channel would grow into what it has become. Through her easy-going demeanor, matter-of-fact advice, and overall charming attitude, she has become one of the go-to sources of advice, inspiration, and how-to channels to learn about all things backpacking. I hope you enjoy this look behind the scenes of the Homemade Wanderlust channel and the triple-crowner who hosts it.

Be sure to check out Dixie’s weekly videos here, which include her most recent thru hike, The Florida Trail: www.YouTube.com/c/homemadewanderlust

Ep. 733: Intro to Adventure Racing - Mark Lattanzi May 24, 2021

Show notes

Since this is the Adventure Sports Podcast we sometimes want to take an episode to focus on a specific sport and how to start doing it, rather than on the stories around adventures.

Today we’ll be getting a mix of both from adventure racer, Mark Lattanzi. Mark has been adventure racing for decades and literally wrote the book on adventure racing navigation, Squiggly Lines: Map and Compass Navigation in Adventure Races and Rogaine.

Whether you’re already an adventure racer or not, you’ll enjoy hearing Mark’s stories and there will be some part of you eager to get out there and give one a try!

Ep. 732: Riding a Motorcycle to Races All Over the World - Revisited - Lyndon Poskitt May 20, 2021

Show notes

Originally aired October 06, 2016

Lyndon Poskitt is an accomplished motorcycle racer and mechanical engineer from North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. He had an accident in 2013 that landed him in the hospital just long enough to contemplate how he was spending his time in life. This started Lyndon on his 2 1/2 year journey called Races to Places where he rides his modified KTM 690 Rally around the world entering it into local rally races. I caught up with Lyndon in El Paso, TX as he prepares to continue on the next leg of R2P down into South America to compete in the 2017 Dakar Rally in January.

Ep. 730: The Unlikely Path to Building a Bike Park - Seth Alvo May 13, 2021

Show notes

This show was originally aired on Without Compromise by Athletic Brewing.

Taking the road less traveled will inevitably take some unexpected turns and uncover many unexpected opportunities. The key, as Seth says, is to follow the opportunities. He should know as the founder and creator of the premier mountain biking YouTube channel Berm Peak (formally known as Seth’s Bike Hacks), where Seth does mountain bike how-to’s, advice, and is currently building an entire mountain bike park in the mountains of western North Carolina.

However, Seth’s story starts out in a way you wouldn’t expect a leading voice in the world of mountain biking to start, BMX riding in Miami. That didn’t stop him though. He picked up his camera and started recording anyway.

Fast forward a handful of years and Seth is using his community's support to build a mountain bike park that will be open to the public.

Ep. 729: How to Walk From a City to a National Park - Julia Oleksiak May 10, 2021

Show notes

When Julia wanted to express the difficulties that others go through to just “get out there”, she decided to make the most basic steps of experiencing the outdoors, getting there, an obstacle to overcome.

After thinking on her idea for a year and a half, she decided to start walking from the iconic downton Denver Union Station to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park, almost 70 miles away. Blisters, cars, and even animals were just some of the challenges she faced in the four-day journey.

Today Julia is here to tell us about the amazing experience. You can read a day-by-day report of the journey here.
