Transcript

00:00I was super unhealthy in both ways so when I first was making YouTube videos I was 16 hours a day I

00:05wouldn't see the sun really really skinny I went skiing I landed from a jump that wasn't that bad

00:10broke this collarbone I've got big metal plate through it and that was kind of like a wake-up

00:15call to me it's like you shouldn't have really been in hospital and had surgery because of that

00:20fall it's because you're not looking after your body so then I started the fitness journey but

00:24maybe took it slightly the wrong way and like that very typical like okay you wanna you wanna get

00:29huge train five times a week and eat a billion calories and like I put on a lot of weight but

00:35that necessarily wasn't super healthy it took a few years to kind of find the balance between like

00:40trying to eat lots and then when I got very ill also I like couldn't eat anything so I lost loads

00:45and loads of weight it hasn't stopped you from no I did a jump that I shouldn't have done holding a

00:50GoPro in one arm and a backpack full of cameras on my back so I was kind of running towards an injury

00:56and then I got the injury and I thought I'm gonna upload this to YouTube and say hey don't

01:00don't do what I do because if three million people have watched that video

01:04maybe 10 of them didn't do a stupid jump they shouldn't have done
