Tom Pagès – French Freestyle Motocross rider and multiple Red Bull X-Fighters winner, Series 1 Episode 4

In this episode I decode Tom Pagès who is one of the most innovative Freestyle Motocross riders in the world and makes the sport look like art. How do you become one of the most creative FMX riders in the world? How do you overcome the fear of doing backflips? And how do you manage the process after your brother crashes and one of your best friend dies? The things I learn from this episode with Tom Pages are incredible. I met him at his training compound in the middle of nowhere in Spain, where he told me about his rivalry with his brother, the mindset you need to be a world class athlete, mental illness and self doubt.Go check out the Vlog of our trip to Tom’s training compound in Spain: https://youtu.be/_gHYtfGDIWgClick here for the Video Podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jq_MVqOSDGYDon’t miss out when we drop the next episode next week with French Surfer Justine Dupont, who first became World Champion at the age of 15.
