Episode 155- Back to the beginning with Bill Belcourt

“Who inspires me? Anyone who’s pushing it for nothing.” “It’s just you and the elements. You’re practicing your craft where no one sees and no one cares. There’s a purity in that.” “The day can go better than you expect, and it can go worse than you expect, and you need to have a plan for both.” –Bill Belcourt. Recorded during the filming of “500 Miles to Nowhere” I’ve had my friend and mentor Bill Belcourt on my mind a lot lately. He managed to handily win the US XContest this season with a series of impressive, committing, deep flights in the Intermountain west while juggling two professional jobs and being a father and husband; and he won a task at the XRedRocks hike and fly race last month and nearly took 1st place overall, proving there is no need for a masters category even when races are extremely physical. For this show we went back to the archives to bring you the very first show that kicked off the Cloudbase Mayhem way back in 2014. Myles has worked his magic on the sound and this is one of those shows that is packed with wisdom we all need to hear more than once. Enjoy.
