Ep. 524: Vol-Bivouac Paragliding 1,200-Km of the Canadian Rockies - Benjamin Jordan

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!Find out more about Mark: Tanznavigation.orgSquiggly Lines: Map and Compass Navigation in Adventure Races and RogaineIs the price of gear holding you back from going on your next adventure or have the extra gear you don’t need?

Originally aired October 06, 2016Lyndon 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.Website: racestoplaces.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/LyndonPoskittRacingYoutube Channel: www.youtube.com/user/adventurespecPatreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=3186891Twitter: @lyndonposkittInstagram: @lyndonposkittSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Brandon is back with us again today to talk about his most recent adventure of solo crossing Yellowstone National Park this past winter. The trip was to set off alone for up to 12 days in the wild, traversing both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, solo, and unsupported.  Branden’s gear was chosen to withstand heavy snows, gale-force winds, and temperatures of -40 Fahrenheit! You can hear Branden on Ep. 687, talking about climbing Montana’s 50 highest peaks here. Find Branden on Instagram at @the_wild_nedIs the price of gear holding you back from going on your next adventure or have extra gear you don’t need?

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. Find out more about Seth:YouTube channel Berm PeakInstagram: @sethsbikehacksTo learn more about Athletic Brewing’s Two For The Trails grant, which is open until May 31st, go here: https://athleticbrewing.com/pages/two-for-the-trailsFind affordable online classes like Yoga, Tai Chi, Essential Oils, Music, and many more.

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. You can learn more about the Cairn Project here. Is the price of gear holding you back from going on your next adventure or have extra gear you don’t need?
