My story - Short Film
A Short Film
This short film captures a deeply personal and challenging chapter of my life-something I haven’t spoken about publicly in detail until now. It's been difficult to find the right words, and I’ve felt nervous about sharing my story, as well as uncertain about my future. Transitioning out of the Army has meant losing a part of my identity and the structure that military life provided, but I’m ready to move forward into a new phase.
I’m both excited and proud of the steps I’ve already taken. Living with Axial Spa is something I will manage for the rest of my life. While it brings significant physical pain, I’m determined to push my body beyond the limits I’ve been told it can reach.
This film marks the beginning of my journey from soldier to civilian. I’m incredibly grateful to Pilgrim Visuals for documenting this transition and turning it into something visually stunning. The man is a true genius at his craft-make sure to check him out. Here's the link to his channel:

Real good luck in your new career
It’s difficult to find a new way when you leave the Army. You seem to have an excellent plan and the motivation to make it a huge success. The very best of luck to you and if I’m ever “up nerth”, I shall look forward to seeing your cafe/ shop.
Cheers buddy. ❤
Orgasm
Bro this costs more than my life
legend all the best mate.
Cheers buddy
Music too loud, turn it down
Music is fine 👊🏽
Good effort …great to have a chat and meet you at Borderlands…my BMC will be getting a new BB …all the best with the next chapter 💪💪💪
Thanks buddy
Mate, this is sick!
Thanks mate
Its crap you are getting discharged I left on my terms and could never imagine having the choice made on my behalf, but you are doing great things and I wish you all the luck in the world pal.
Thanks buddy
I subscribed to your channel over 12 months ago and enjoyed your content . There is life after the forces I to suffer the same condition as you and had to leave the forces I have a stoop now and my walking is limited to yards rather than miles , it does affect all areas of life and has no cure , 4 years ago after many wrong decisions I took up cycling at the age of 49 , life was heading south at the time , cycling has given me belief and courage to continue and live with the condition in a more healthy way , good luck on your next phase of your journey , be that inspiration for suffers of this disease
Thank you Paul ❤️
Thanks for sharing your story!
Cracking to see your story, thank you for sharing 🙏
Thank you 🙏
wishing you much success in your new endeavors
Thank you
Absolute pleasure working with you matey 🎥 🚴
@@james_hallam_ thanks for the film mate. Amazing work!
Hi Sean, hope all is well, looking forward to seeing some new content from you
Love this 🎉❤😂
Another great video I saw you a couple of times at boosbeck
Sort of fake news, Dom Jackson races for an amateur race team and was some 4 places in front of your pal, which don’t get me wrong was a ridiculous ride, but 13th is just a shade more impressive!🎉
Yeah, went under my radar while making this. Very impressive from both riders to be honest.
holy
I saw MVP coming up the Rates a few months back and it made my day, God only knows how I’d feel to have been you doing this. Chapeaux fella!
Aye mate, a day with the pros is one of my best days in the bike….. and hardest
No mechanicals for Tobias as well 😂.. full commitment
Great video, Great to see roads that I have ridden on in gods country, Catterick, North Yorkshire, defo 1 of the best places to ride a bike in the UK.
Brilliant coverage!
Enjoyed that mate 👌
Cheers buddy 🙏
Hey Sean I think Ben Pease was the only rider on mechanical 11sp as well in the elite category
Arg forgot to mention. Think he was! Some power in the boy
Hope you enjoy the bike buddy. All the best getting back to full health.
Thanks buddy 🤘🏻
I hope you get past your health issues and return to full fitness soon. Getting back out on the bike, or doing any physical training, gets you back into the right mindset brother, 👍
Cheers man! Aye we all get them at times got to push through them 🙏 🤘🏻🤘🏻
New bike looks great, looking forward to seeing what you think of it.
I have this bike I’m doing lands end to John o groats on it rn it’s a great bike !
Mega! Hope yours going well for you. What’s the set up like?
I’d be interested in a bit more on the fuelling point. I tend to just go for 60g per hour and crack on but there must be way more to it. Also I’ve heard people say you need to train your gut for even more absorption, but there must be some balance there if a lot of your training is lower intensity and therefore requires a lower level of fuelling. Do you purposely over fuel some of those sessions?
We will be doing a further in depth video on fuelling soon. It's very individual. Absolutely need to train the gut to consume those higher quantities. I personally don't over fuel those easier sessions. I just consume to correct amount on the harder sessions usually for me its higher then 60g. depending on the length and intensity.
Top video, would love to hear more about Strength training - Duration, Volume best exercises? I also find supplements and recovery very interesting if you could elaborate on your top tips. Keep up the good work
Thank you 🙏 We are planning to do a video on these in further detail. Keep an eye out. 🤛🏽
Good info
Thank you 🤘🏻
A great insight into what must be obvious to you guys but overlooked by cyclists like myself, inspiring to want to do it properly.
Cheers dean, all the basics. Not a marginal gain in sight 👁️
Great video!
Cheers mukka 🤛🏽
Great content on this one, it's the other side of the standard FTP flex we all see. Lets see more like this
Glad your better
Turn music off! Can't hear a word!
The music is added so you can’t hear 😂
Nice video,could do without the annoying meaningless music
Progress to make.. 🚀
Cant wait to see more , glad you're both feeling better 🤙
I’m still out the game at the moment and Harry will be back in soon 🤛🏽 thank you!
Great attitude - it is a brutal and beautiful course. I am local and ride 47mm tyres here - I actually use tubes, but I do know where most of the bigger holes are. Come back and ride Raiders Gravel - we use some of Gralloch, but lots of other tracks and test out some tyres for next year - LOVE that your family were here.
Thanks buddy. Will absolutely be back. Yeah think minimum next year 45mm tyres. Also looking into the raiders.
7:33 aha i follow both these guys on tiktok <3
Great guys
Great to hang out this weekend mate! I have to agree with you this was a class event, super well organised and the vibe was class. Definitely be back next year too!
You to mate! Need to make it happen more🤛🏽 getting my hotel booked asap😂
What a thrill to follow the hive.....and how fast are they???!!! 😍
Hi ya mate, great vid. I’m in the Irish army and trying to get a TH-cam vid going myself. I was thinking of the cycling soldier for the name 🤣 I’m over in the uk sometimes, could be a bit of craic to meet up sometime on the bikes 🤙
The day the body says no. No matter what nutrition plan you have. These days are the worst.
Agree! Frustrating days 😢
Great effort
Thanks a lot 🤛🏽
Unlucky with the cramp.Next time 👍
More heat prep next time 🤛🏽
Top work 👏. Hard conditions for a brit 😊
Cheers mate 🤛🏽
Looks like a mega trip. Much better than the UK weather at the minute 🙈
Not looking forward to getting back to the UK weather!
