Summary
Stu Thomson is the founder of what is now know as Cut Media. You may be familiar with the name Cut Media as the creators of the most iconic/viral mountain bike films of all time including Danny MacAskill's Imaginate, Wee Day Out, The Ridge and also the recent Focus Bikes Designed For Down campaign plus tonnes more.
During the episode we take a deep dive into Stu's history in mountain biking which, started out with racing downhill under the team 'The Clan' that his Dad started to help out fellow Scottish racers, onto racing world cups and then how he got involved with marketing, film making and the evolution of Cut Media. It was really interesting to hear about how he first met Danny MacAskill and some of the behind the scenes info from the Imaginate shoot. Stu shares a pretty wild hard drive story which I think is every content creators worst nightmare! We also discuss the role VR could play in mountain biking and what the future holds for action sports content creation plus much more...
