In this episode I decode British female Rally driver Catie Munnings who I met during the GP Ice Race in Zell am See, Austria. That engaging talk with Catie was one of the best conversations I’ve ever had with an athlete. It was fascinating to hear how she spends her winter on ice, how she wants to grow up against the boys and prove girls can drive. She explains how she performed her first handbrake turn when she was just 13 years old and why she failed her driving license at the first attempt.Be sure to stay tuned until the end because she tells us about her scariest crash ever - ending up in someone's house and still having coffee with them.Go check out the Vlog of our trip to Zell am See: https://youtu.be/sYTulCykjysClick here for the Video-Podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BLYJ2of8S7UDon’t miss out when we drop the fourth episode next week with French Freestyle Motocross rider Tom Pages.

He is five times X Games medalist and won nearly every contest he entered in 2020.

In the first episode I decode trial bike legend Danny MacAskill. Danny is to me the best human on a bicycle today. He comes from a trial bike background which is pathing through an obstacle course without setting foot to ground. But he took it to the next level and created a whole new discipline by bringing trial to the street. In this interview we did in the Red Bull Music Studio in London, we talked about how to get millions of views on YouTube, his fears and getting back on the bike after multiple injuries.
