Adolf Silva joins us for Chapter 404 of Gypsy Tales.
Adolf shares the story of his career in freeride mountain biking, competing at Rampage, and the crash that left him paralyzed. He opens up about recovery, adapting to life after injury, and the mindset that has helped him keep moving forward through the biggest challenge of his life.
We also discuss Red Bull Rampage, pushing the limits of mountain biking and action sports, overcoming adversity, finding purpose after injury, and why Adolf refuses to let one moment define his future.
