Alex Chapellier | Looking through the lens of Bikes, Risks, and Big Dreams
In this episode of Grit With Wisdom, I sit down with Alex Chapellier, a mountain biker, mechanic, photographer, and videographer. Alex shares his journey from growing up in France, where he was captivated by any two wheels, to living his mountain biking dreams in British Columbia, Canada. He talks extensively about his passion for mountain biking, the importance of mental performance, and how he transitioned from behind the camera to being an influential rider in his own right.
Alex dives into the details of his early days of riding and racing, including how learning to ride on a basic bike helped him develop his skills. He also offers insights into his approach to taking risks, mental preparedness, and dealing with crashes. On top of that, Alex shares some intriguing stories about working alongside well-known riders like Remy Metailler and Yoann Barelli.
Listen in to hear Alex's advice on balancing passion with profession, setting realistic goals, and the importance of enjoying the ride. Whether you are a seasoned mountain biker or just starting out, Alex's journey is sure to inspire and motivate you.
