So, here it is, my first EVER youtube “vlog”!!!

Firstly I’d like to say I have no idea what I’m doing, I have no idea how to vlog or make a decent edit, but I’m giving it a crack and using this platform to share some riding and hopefully learn as I go!

I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself.
I’m a 29 year old surfer & mountain bike rider from beautiful Cornwall. I’ve been surfing mainly for the past maybe 16+ years and did a bit of biking inbetween, but, for many people, including myself, this year has been a bit manic and there’s been alot of changes in my life.
I’ve gone from being a surf instructor and beach lifeguard to taking on a new career as a carpenter and due to an old surf injury and then rupturing my ACL I’ve had a big break from surfing and fully focused on biking since March this year.
I’m now recovering from a fractured elbow (you’ll see in the clip) and still waiting on an ACL op so this channel is kind of going to be a mix of surf and bike with lots of recovery and progression videos and I hope I can relate to some of you who have also been injured and needing to take a bit of a step back in your riding too!

I hope you enjoy!!!

This video was shot on GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition at Stennack Woodland [Troon] and Poldice mine Cornwall.

Still learning how to edit so if anyone has tips or good programs to use please give me a comment and I literally have no idea how to put decent music in a an edit on GoPro Studio yet without dealing with copyright stuff so any tips on that would be great!
