0:00.0	Today we have another one of our exclusive Deep Trouble series.
0:08.4	Deep Trouble is a series that you will hear exclusively on adventure rider radio which is stories about riders in peril.
0:14.6	But it's more than that.

1:27.0	The thrill that you get just by approaching it, the sensation that the edge is near, not just the thrill of danger, but it's only
