To say Shauna Coxsey is a pioneer in womens sport is an understatement. When Shauna was a little girl she saw a woman climbing on television and asked her father if she could do the same. She was just four when she first went along to her first indoor climbing facility.

Now 24, Shauna has already had an incredible career topped off last year by becoming the 2017 IFSC Bouldering world champion.

Shauna also runs a womens climbing initiative  - The womens climbing symposium  - aimed at introducing more women to the sport the event provides training & tips with professional climbers 

Shauna Coxsey is the UK's greatest ever competitive climber and she's currently ranked number one in the world in Bouldering. Hope you will like this compilation! If you do, feel free to share this video. Thank you! Music: 1. N I L S - intro https://soundcloud.com/n_ils/intro 2. COLLAGE DROPOUT - HEAVENLY ETUDE.
I recently had the privileged of filming the Womens Climbing Symposium, an event that brings together female climbers of all abilities to share in their passion for the sport. The day was filled with inspiring talks, brilliant workshops, and a lot of laughter and smiles. Big thanks to all the speakers, coaches, volunteers and sponsors for making the day possible, as well as Emma, Shauna and Rebecca for organising the event! #climbing #womensclimbingsymposium #connect #develop #wcsinspire

Nathalie McGloin is a groundbreaking female racing driver paralysed from the chest down. After being involved in a road traffic accident in 1999 Nathalie spent 11 month in rehab before going to university & beginning to play wheelchair rugby. Nathalie then started to discover her strengths & the possibilities within sport, which started her out on the path to becoming an athlete.

In 2015 Nathalie became the first woman with a spinal cord injury to be granted a racing licence in the UK . She  now races professionally in the Porsche Cayman Championship cup in a hand-controlled Cayman S in the Porsche Club Championship, competing against able-bodied men.

-

Since then Nathalie has gone on to create Spinal Track - a charity that offers disabled drivers the opportunity to experience track driving in specially adapted cars. Nathalie is also an inspirational speaker, who delivers keynotes around the world to share her unique story, encourage women and disabled people into Motorsports, and help audiences believe that anything is possible.

After beggining to ride at the tender age of just 5 years old, Leah Tokelove has fast become a trailblazer of UK flat track where she currently competes as the only women to race in the adult pro class of the UK flat track series. 

_

After racing only against guys for much of her career, Leah now teams up with the DTRA to run womens introduction to flat track weekends alongside the Greenfield Flat track facility on her home ground of Lincolnshire- providing a space for women to try out flat track & get pro level training with the aim to get more women racing. 

VCC TEAM TALKS A project sparked by conversations with every day pioneers that are at the heart of everything we do at VCC. - Women that are kicking down doors or influencing a next generation from racers, adventurers, groundbreakers in extreme sports & women travelling to war zones to the unsung heroes we live our lives around every day that inspire all of us to step out on the path less travelled. - VCC TEAM TALKS are going live this summer at CAMP VC with talks & Q&As between some of the women featured coming together across their very different disciplines & experiences to share their stories & discuss their experiences, creating a series of worldwide conversations between women from all walks of life with the aim to encourage & inspire others. Got to www.vcclondon.com to see the other conversations with some incredible women as they are released week by week.

My first ever experience in a WRC car...and I am completely in love. Red Bull invited me down to a secret location in North Wales to try me out as co-pilot with Sebastian Ogier on his test stage ahead of the Rally GB.. I left with a big smile on my face and a new crush.
Last weekend I went up to Santa Pod Raceway with my Dad to revisit a major part of my childhood. Oh and watch my Dad do a burnout.
