In this bonus episode your host Gavin McClurg sits down with Red Bull X-Alps legend, Red Bull athlete and world adventurer Paul Gushlbauer. Paul and Gavin became friends during preparations for the 2015 Red Bull X-Alps (Gavin’s first of 4) and have had some pretty remarkable adventures together, including during the filming of North of Known, when Gavin and Dave Turner crossed the Alaska Range by foot and paraglider in 2016 (Paul was one of the film crew’s bush pilots). In this episode we discuss of course the Red Bull X-Alps, Paul’s decision to sit this one out after competing 7 times, hike and fly racing and his Wanderbird events, headspace and staying passionate about the sport, risk, coaching and a lot more. Paul is a terrific interviewer and we had a lot of fun switching the roles to discuss our favorite topic- flying! Hope you enjoy.
