Episode 004: Sascha Hamm Part 2 - Dealing With Catastrophe

Full episode info and show notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com It's the second half of my interview with UK snowboarder and freerider Sascha Hamm. In today's part of the chat, Sascha Hamm talked me through the 'wilderness' years, when the first half of his snowboarding career ended. Why? Because after winning the British Championships in 2000, he decided to take his prize money and gamble it on an attempt to make it as a Formula 1 driver. As you do. When that didn't go to plan, Sascha set himself up in business with one of his best friends, before deciding to follow his snowboarding dreams again by moving to Chamonix in France. It was a move that ultimately led him to compete on the Freeride World Tour, and brings his tale full circle to the present day. As with part 1, it's another hugely entertaining and at times ridiculously honest chat with Sascha, and I hope you enjoy it.
