This week, lots of jumping, diving, falling and some bold decisions.

 

On your bike! by Jeffrey Khoo 

In this story, your ultimate bike tutorial (absolutely not!)

Trying something new in one’s adulthood may feel like a fish out of the water. Jeffrey felt the same way, too.

From curving out chaotic zigzags in the grass, tipping over, giving up and back-pedalling through self-doubt, the bicycle has become the love of his life.

Now the fish knows how to bike — just in time for Amsterdam’s bike lanes and Berlin’s questionable late-night decisions.

Just jump by Alannah Vidic-Worth

In this story, Matt overcomes his acrophobia as he jumps off a waterfall in Samoa during a study trip.

All it takes is a leap and perhaps… a scream off a Samoan waterfall.

Produced by Alanna Vidic-Worth.

Special thanks to Janak Rogers and Dan Semo.

 

In the Deep End by Catarina Fraga Matos 

After being dragged out by a rip at a dangerous Australian beach, Craig avoids the water for 15 years.

Then, a move to Timor-Leste pushes him back into the water.

Sometimes the scariest water leads you straight to the most beautiful reefs.

And a special thanks to Craig Garrett for sharing his story.
