Apart from those other riders there is a whole production team [ of The Fourth Phase] behind the cameras too, hauling hundreds of kilos of fragile and awkward filming equipment up those same frozen landscapes. They're the real heroes.

We're all doing what we love. It's how we express ourselves - operating in a space where you don't know if something is possible or not.
