Our guest this week is Steve Vanderhoek, who just put out one of the best video edits of the year, in which he and Yoann Barelli rode nearly all of the gnarliest features in the Sea to Sky Corridor in one truly wild day. So we sat down with Steve to talk about everything that went into making that day happen; the mental challenges of riding scary, high-consequence lines; filming and riding with Yoann and Remy Metailler; balancing all that with his career as a paramedic and firefighter; and a whole lot more.TOPICS & TIMES:Injury update (0:53)Riding & filming in the golden age of freeride (4:37)Starting a career as a firefighter and paramedic (6:24)Balancing riding with a separate career (14:42)Riding with Remy and Yoann, & the importance of riding partners (18:55)Le Tour de Gnar (25:55)The mental aspects of pushing boundaries & knowing when to walk away (27:45)Scouting & building huge lines (40:22)Steve’s Big Idea (48:22)RELATED LINKS:Le Tour de GnarLe Tour de Gnar GoPro FootageRemy Metailler Squamish EditBBI Ep. 49: Yoann Barelli on his move to Guerrilla Gravity; Coaching; Comfort Zones; & MoreBBI Ep. 56: Remy Metailler on Doing Stupid Stuff, ResponsiblyBecome a Blister MemberCamping in Gunnison & Crested Butte See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
