Intriguing Beings Podcast – Episode 09 – Alex Jones AKA “Stig”
Features / Mon 12th Nov, 2018 @ 3:00 pm
It’s Monday, and that means it’s time for Intriguing Beings, this week Rou’s got something a little different! The story of his friend Alex Jones who sadly crashed his mountain bike in 2011, breaking his neck and damaging his spinal cord. Alex has been wheelchair-bound ever since, but his positive outlook to life and ability to laugh in the face of adversity has been a constant source of inspiration for Rou.
Rou and “Stig” chat about the accident in a lot of detail, the recovery and the subsequent journey he’s been on, you also get to find out why Alex got his nickname too, and it has nothing to do with racing cars! It’s a great conversation this week, and while it isn’t strictly kite related, it’s definitely well worth your time!
