What do you do when you have a film crew that doesn't ride motos and an FKT (fastest known time) route where motos are the only option? Hannah Otto joins Simon to give us a look behind the scenes of her new film documenting her White Rim FKT, and gets into what it takes to not only ride fast in the harsh Utah desert … but also film it. Hannah opens up about obsessing over tiny details, her decision to go against the grain for her bike choice, where to stuff the ridiculous amount of energy gels, the stress of running out of water, and more.
