philip hindes's video: Aimee Fuller North Korea Marathon Olympic Snowboarder

From backflipping 30 metres in the air, to running a marathon in North Korea; it’s safe to say this athlete takes on some extreme challenges. This week, Callum Skinner and Philip Hindes catch up with Aimee Fuller, professional slopeside snowboarder, motocross enthusiast, X Games competitor and Olympic athlete. Having hopped on a quad bike at four years old, started motocross by six, detoured into gymnastics and took to the slopes at 12, Fuller reveals the most incredible moments of her sporting career to date. This episode kicks off with an account of Fuller’s younger years, which saw her and her family move to Washington DC. There, her love of snowboarding was ignited and one chance meeting changed her life. Since then, her career has taken off (literally); she’s been invited to compete at the X Games, joined GB’s Olympic squad and got a sponsorship deal with Roxy. “How did I ever get to this point where I’m throwing myself off jumps the size of 2 storey houses?” Aimee Fuller Skinner and Hindes quiz Fuller on what it’s like to backflip 32 meters in the air and talk about the moments that have gone horribly wrong; the time she crashed face first into a deck and broke her eye socket. Fuller explains why falling well is an art, her experience at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and why she finds being on the slopes the ultimate expression of creativity. “It’s a very creative space, you have a blank canvas to essentially push yourself to new realms.” - Aimee Fuller Never one to turn down an extraordinary opportunity, Fuller recently completed a marathon in North Korea.
