Review:
A fun place to spend a week drinking Desperados, meeting cool people, watching incredible athletes. And for those among you who are talented, competitive or looking for a challenge it is a great place to compete! There are amateur, expert and pro devisions in most of the sports so you can have a go yourself!

Episode opening sequence created by the one and only Jak Tones – to be fair the entire vlog is made by him, what a guy!
00:21-00:35
Packing (I HATE PACKING) luggage + BMX ahead of travelling to the airport. I am totally delirious after just competing at HYROX London as a team relay with my Dad and another Dad, Daughter duo. What absolute heroes.
00:36-00:51
Has anyone else ever had a taxi stop off at a petrol station? This happened to us on the way to the airport (lol).
00:52-01:22
Stuffing my face with StarryB’s egg whites (PROTEIN LOVER) & coffee at London Gatwick where I was getting a vlogging tutorial from Jak (he is a natural)! My style of presenting is very traditional -front of camera – so this was a great test for me to get to grips with the vlog vibe which he has himself mastered, be sure to subscribe to his channel. Details below.

Stunning skatepark, we visited every day, such a an easy ride there from our hotel, amazing facilities for everyone of all ages. It was so rad seeing how many people who visited for FISE also made a trip to the park, which was FREE!!!!!!!!!! AND THEY HAVE THE BEST ICE CREAM IN THE WORLD.

During which – I was screaming so loud you can hear me on the broadcast footage!
10:12-10:48
Anthony Jean Jean announced as Winner for the Men’s final.
I had originally FILMED A LOT MORE of the finals, where I stood with most of the Team GB athletes, interviewing them, placing bets on who was going to win but (can’t believe I am admitting this) I pressed the wrong function on the Go-Pro (at the time I was unsupervised by Coach Jak Tones) & so filmed everything as a timelapse – shame really as it was content GOLD & I gave Catfish a huge shoutout for his incredible MC duties, one of my absolute idols when it comes to crowd engagement, enthusiasm & style. I also captured the moment Shaun Gornall’s tyre burst in his final run. It was on this day, in this moment that I created the game “Boob or Tube” ;-)…. try it….
