TRANSCRIPT 11 8 2 / 11 8 3

Podcaster: A big hello to all my listeners. Today, I have two guests here with me. Andy Richardson,
the mountain biking champion of this year, and Lisa Brown, who runs her own skydiving
school in Texas. Right, Andy, first things first. Let’s start with you. Can you tell us a bit
about mountain biking?
Andy: Mountain biking is a way of life, and in my opinion, it’s for people who are young at
heart. You need to be active and energetic.
Podcaster: What kind of equipment do you need to do this sport?
Andy: First of all, you need a well-maintained mountain bike. A brain bucket, also known as
a helmet, knee pads and cycling gloves.
Podcaster: So, can we call it an expensive sport?
Andy: Once you own the equipment, it becomes cheap.
Podcaster: Why mountain biking, Andy?
Andy: Mountain biking makes me feel more connected to nature. The more time I spend in
undeveloped nature, the happier and healthier I become. The only problem is that you
can hurt yourself if you aren’t careful enough.
Podcaster: I agree with you, and I suppose you need a good sense of balance.
Andy: Yes, for sure, and also you have to be fit, especially if you intend on doing jumps and spins.
Podcaster: Alright. Thank you, Andy. Time to speak with Lisa now. What in heaven’s name
attracted you to skydiving? Inform us, please.
Lisa: It’s difficult for me to explain exactly what attracted me, but I can say with each jump
I’ve experienced the most thrilling times of my life. Skydiving is, in fact, a risky sport.
Good training is absolutely essential to reduce the possibility of accidents.
Podcaster: Can you please talk about the training you offer in your school?
Lisa: AFF, or accelerated freefall, is the program we use to teach new skydivers. You learn
everything about flying your body, deploying your parachute and flying to earth.
Then, you jump accompanied by two highly experienced AFF instructors who hold you
tight at the beginning. As you progress through the jumps, they become less active, and
you’re able to fly independently.
Podcaster: Sounds awesome! We’re running out of time. Please tell us about the equipment
needed briefly.
Lisa: AAD (Automatic activation device), helmet, goggles, jumpsuit, altimeter and harness
