Joe Gothic
Kids and bikes, wherever you are in the world, you’ll find the two together - smiling, aimlessly drifting. The bike for most kids is a first sense of afforded freedom. As we get older that senseless joy for cycling is lost, typically dampened by our transition into adulthood. Yet - there is nothing typical about Joe Warren; a retired professor who, during his tenure at the University of Utah, moonlit as a sound engineer for death metal bands. Since discovering downhill mountain biking at the age of 60 to conquering the most challenging trails across North America, Joe’s story is anything but ordinary. He was born in 1947 in the post-depression ravaged era of Detroit, where most of his friends turned to drugs, or crime. Sometimes both. He now resides in the unwavering beauty of Utah's Wasatch Back, where he ascends mountains the size of skyscrapers. He's an astronaut.

FINDING BALANCE
Through life we dabble, we try new things, and we test the waters by sticking a toe in. But, every so often something special happens and we can't help but to dive deep. This, my friends, is a hobby and more poetically known as a passion.
Brought to life by Outside TV, my goal with this series is to celebrate those charging their passions while still leading a “normal” life. Cheers to the hobbyists! Episode One features Allen Stoltzfus, an engineer and lover of all things type 2 fun in Winter Park, Colorado.

‘The Line’ is a 7 Episode Series featuring alpinist and Nat Geo photographer Cory Richards as he prepares to tackle a new route on Everest. It dives deep into who Cory is and what led to him to setting this daring and dangerous goal for himself. In ‘The Line’ series, we look at the training, psychology, and routines associated with the goal of creating a new line on the world’s tallest peak. We also look at Cory’s outlook on life and how he is using climbing as a platform to talk about mental health. “When you’re riding the line between life and death, the clarity is tack sharp,” Cory says.

2019 North Pole Crossing
Mike Horn and Børge Ousland are two of the most accomplished Polar Explorers. In August of 2019, they sailed the Arctic Ocean to cross the North Pole by foot. Myself, Stein Retzlaff and team on the boat documented the expedition and sailed farther north than any non-icebreaking vessel in history. Unfortunately, this is only possible due to the melting arctic regions. Visit fujifilm-x.com to learn more about the expedition.
