philip hindes's video: Joe Clarke Olympic Kayak Champion plus Casey Neistat and Ronaldo

“I think Rio was just the start for me” - Joe Clarke He’s the Olympic kayak champion that’s going from strength to strength; Joe Clarke drops by for a hilarious chat with Callum Skinner and Philip Hindes. Recorded live in a new studio, this week’s PodCrash episode has better sound, better lighting (for the YouTube fans) and better hosting skills? Nah! Expect some laugh out loud moments in this lively cycling podcast as Hindes and Skinner grill Clarke on all things kayaking. Wondering how you get into such a niche sport? Clarke explains what first ignited his passion for kayaking and how a brush with secondary meningitis derailed his plans to attend GB trials in 2008. Once recovered and with a place on the squad, he recounts some funny anecdotes about his time at Fairfield and Skinner doesn’t miss an opportunity to plug his favourite food joint again. Can you guess what it is? Later, Clarke talks about the cut-throat selection process in the lead up to the Olympics and how an unpaid utility bill threw a spanner in the works at training camp. That didn’t stop him from scooping a gold medal at Rio though. From partying with the Brazilian Ronaldo to almost losing his gold medal, it’s safe to say he had the time of his life. And the fun didn’t stop there. Clarke returned home only to be paraded around his home town in his Kayak (definitely worth a Google), and has since got engaged, become an owner of a dog and won two World Cups. “The chapter’s not finished yet, there’s still more in the tank and whilst I feel like I’ve still got more to achieve, and I’ve still got the drive and hunger to go out and get it, then why stop?” - Joe Clarke Have a good laugh at Skinner and Hindes’ expense and find out what’s next for Clarke in this entertaining episode of PodCrash.
