  • Unicycling around the globe: One-wheel adventures with explorer Ed Pratt

    Unicycling around the globe: One-wheel adventures with explorer Ed Pratt
    2024/11/05
    When most 18-year-olds finish college, they start to think about university or starting a career. Not Ed Pratt. Aged 19, he set off from his front door on a unicycle – and three years later he’d circumnavigated the globe. Yes, you read that correctly: he rode around the entire world on one wheel.

    Just like Joff Summerfield from earlier on this year, Ed’s sense of adventure and remarkable stories from the road made for a fascinating chat – and, of course, Rob’s mind was blown.

    Since we spoke to Ed, he’s completed another incredible challenge: following the River Thames from source to sea – without leaving it once! To check out his globetrotting unicycle journey and everything else he’s been up to since, visit @EdPratt on YouTube.

    Before then though, settle in for this remarkable Just Ride chat with a modern British explorer.

    See you soon.

  • From the flatlands of BMX to star of stage and screen: the remarkable story of Matthias Dandois

    From the flatlands of BMX to star of stage and screen: the remarkable story of Matthias Dandois
    2024/10/22
    As a young kid growing up on the streets of Paris, Matthias Dandois would kick a football around with his mates. The problem was, he didn’t enjoy it much.

    Then one day, he saw another group of kids riding BMX bikes and having far more fun than he was on the football pitch. And that was it. A love affair was born.

    A few years later, he was BMX flatland world champion, at just 19. Now, he’s a nine-time world champion, Olympic torch bearer for the Games held in his home city, a superstar in so many fields and there’s little doubt that he has transcended his sport.

    Matthias is a BMX rockstar, and it was our true pleasure to welcome him to Just Ride, learn all about BMX flatland, and his remarkable career – including a fascinating spell as the lead actor in a Hollywood film!

    Sadly, Rob wasn’t around for this one and Eliot flew solo, but Matthias brought the energy. You’re gonna love it.

    We’ll be back soon.

    Here at Just Ride we absolutely love hearing from you, so hit Eliot or Rob up on their socials or email podcast@redbull.com to get a shout out on the show.

    Second in 2022 and on track for a similar result before a brutal crash in 2023, Szymon is a Red Bull Rampage warrior. So, who better to preview 2024’s edition and quiz on all things Rampage than Szymon himself?

    He joined Eliot to chat all about his career to date, his brother Dawid’s incredible train ride video, and how he plans to challenge for this year’s Red Bull Rampage title. Let’s just say, he has got some BIG ideas!

  • How do you win the gnarliest bikepacking races in the world? With ultra endurance legend Sofiane Sehili

    How do you win the gnarliest bikepacking races in the world? With ultra endurance legend Sofiane Sehili
    2024/08/20
    Sofiane Sehili wasn’t a cyclist until he went travelling around Southeast Asia and realised he wasn’t made to be cooped up on a bus or a train for hours at a time. He bought a second-hand bike for $100 and started riding. He’s hardly stopped since.

    Initially a cycling courier in Paris, Sofiane was encouraged to start entering the world’s gnarliest bikepacking events, like the Tour Divide in the United States, and the Silk Road Mountain Race in Eastern Europe.

    Now, aged 43, Sofiane is a three-time Silk Road winner and a legend for his unconventional approach to some of the world’s hardest bike races. Happy to forego sleep for days on end in his quest to win, Sofiane dropped into the Just Ride studio to tell Rob and Eliot all about his career to date.

    Staggered by his dedication to the cause, Rob and Eliot were bowled over by Sofiane – and we’re sure you will be too. You don’t want to miss this chat.

    If you want to get in touch with Rob and Eliot, email podcast@redbull.com, or hit them up on their socials.

    We’ll be back in two weeks!
