In this episode, we sit down with Sam Pilgrim and Tom Court, two athletes pushing the boundaries of action sports, as they share their journey from mountain biking to wing foiling. Broadcasting from the UK, Sam, a renowned mountain biker and YouTube sensation, and Tom, a kiteboarding and wing foiling veteran, dive into their shared passion for shredding on land and water.

From Bikes to Boards: Sam shares his transition from landing backflip double tail whips on a mountain bike to chasing 360s and backflips on a wing foil, while Tom reflects on how kiteboarding’s intensity paved the way for his love of foiling.
Isle of Wight Challenges: The duo discusses their record-setting wing foil circumnavigation of the Isle of Wight, tackling brutal tides and open swells in a grueling five-hour, 20-minute journey, and their plans for future stunts like backflips and combo tricks.
The Art of Progression: From mastering wind awareness to embracing the “special meter” flow state, Sam and Tom break down the mental and physical grind of learning new tricks and how foiling’s nuance has reshaped their approach to action sports.
Audience Q&A: The guys answer fan questions, from Sam’s infamous missing tooth and TV dating show fame to their dream yard woes and plans for gnarly new stunts, offering a glimpse into their off-the-cuff, high-energy lifestyles.
Join us for a high-octane conversation packed with laughs, epic wipeout stories, and insights into blending mountain biking’s raw stoke with wing foiling’s limitless potential.
