#228 Eat, Sleep, Fly 100 km Repeat with Mathew Fiddes
Update: 2024-09-09
Description
Heading up and over the Aletch GlacierMathew Fiddes only got into flying a few years ago but has been chasing about as hard as you can. Some early stumbles brought humility and perspective and then last year, for the 23′ XContest season Matt began with the goal of winning the Australian XC league. But as the flights chalked up and he starting climbing up the ranks for pilots who had the most 100 km flights, he thought maybe an even better goal would be to bank 52 100 km flights in a single season- one per week. And with just a few days left in the season, he snagged it. Matt traveled around the world in his quest- to India, Australia, and across the Alps chasing not only his goal but the “Kraken”. We sat down during the Red Rocks Wide Open to discuss his passion, his early accident and the comeback both physically and mentally and his future. Matt has become an exceptional pilot in a very short time and there’s some great stories here to keep you entertained. Enjoy!
