ROAD TO SUCCESSHow actor Jason Clarke made the move from small-town Australia to Hollywood movie stardom
32WELCOME We like risk takers here at The Red Bulletin, and we’ve got plenty in this month’s issue. There’s Aussie actor Jason Clarke, who left his home with a few dollars in his pocket and a sense of adventure that’s taken him to the Hollywood Hills (and the Hungry Valley, LA for our high-octane shoot). And we chat to brand new high-wire expert Joseph Gordon-Levitt about braving new heights to play Philippe Petit in upcoming film The Walk. Plus we have Peter Capaldi, back with his controversially no-nonsense incarnation of Dr Who, some of the fastest boats ever to hit the water – and float above it – going head to head around the world, and spot Owen Wilson letting loose in Paris at one of the biggest hip-hop parties on the planet. We hope you enjoy the issue.

KEFFER“I don’t twerk, but I love watching girls doing it,” says Keffer, snapper, night owl and VIP at the craziest Paris parties. For us, he shot the biggest rap event in France: the Yard Party. See what went on on page 72.
PHILIPP MUELLERThe Swiss lensman has photographed sports stars such as Jerome Boateng and Bode Miller. For The Red Bulletin he persuaded professional triathlete Daniela Ryf to slip into high heels and latex. See the results on page 58.
Award-winning Australian photographer Krystle Wright is a real-life adventurer every time she goes to work. She freedives, climbs rocks and faces subzero temperatures to be close to her protagonists. In 2011, she even survived a paragliding accident in Pakistan’s high mountains while working on a project. She gives us an insight into her best shots on page 40.
The shoot concept was set once we found out that Jason Clarke was a car fanatic. But who would lend photographer Michael Muller some wheels? Enter Robert Acer: Trophy truck racer, philanthropist, mystery millionaire and possible future Marvel superhero. Acer lent his truck and team for the shoot near Los Angeles and Clarke took to the controls with astonishing ease. “I’m threatened,” said Acer, who kept his identity secret by not removing his helmet all day. “He’s a natural.” Read the story on page 32.

And crowd favourite ‘Mad’ Mike Whiddett feels confident in his 1,032hp Mazda MX-5 – or Radbul, as Whiddett has affectionately dubbed it. The New Zealander got his own nickname during his former career as a fearless motocross rider and nothing’s changed during the switch to four wheels. “I’ve always been about doing things differently,” he says. “I love building cars that push the boundaries.”More on Mike: madmike.co.nzPhotography: Larry Chen

chances are you’d take the plunge too. “It’s scary, yet exhilarating,” says American Tara
Hyer-Tira of the sport that sees her reach speeds of up to 85kph. “It’s important to keep
your fear in check and do what you’ve been practising.” That strategy is paying off, as the
28-year-old is one of the top 20 athletes in the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series.

PLUMBING THE DEPTHSJames Cameron reached the highpoint of his career when he went as low as it’s possible to go in the Mariana Trench
Blockbuster director James Cameron has a complicated relationship with the sea. In Titanic he sank a ship, in Expedition: Bismarck he got to the bottom of what happened to another one, and in The Abyss he met aliens on the seafloor. An extreme therapy session was the only option left: descending into the Mariana Trench, the deepest, darkest place in the world’s oceans, in a submarine. He was only the third person in history to take the trip and the first to do it alone. Cameron documented the watery desert 11km below sea level, a place we know less about than we do Mars. But he didn’t get to see all that much in the three hours he was down there; his submarine had whipped up a whole lot of sand. It’s a problem he’s no doubt run into in his movie work – technical requirements getting in the way of the plot.

DARK STARThe glimmer of light on the big screen: Keira KnightleyThere’s one thing we’re certain of: this is no mountaineering outfit. At temperatures of -40ºC that fringe would offer little protection and we’re pretty sure shoes are essential. So, despite the snowy-looking setting, we can confirm that this is definitely not a still from new movie Everest, in which Knightley stars. She opts to remain at home in the disaster thriller, while her on-screen husband, Jason Clarke, goes and climbs the world’s highest mountain with Jake Gyllenhaal. By all accounts, a good decision.
Luckily, Keira Knightley stayed
home in the drama Everest

LOVING LAS VEGASCould you survive 24 hours in the City of Lights?
04.33 Decide to make it official – you’re in Vegas after all. Take a taxi to the drive-thru chapel.
22.29 Time to head off to one of the 76 casinos. If it all gets too much, a visit to the Koi Pond at the Wynn offers
a rare spot for relaxation.
05.00 Honeymoon in Venice. It’s romantic – and conveniently located just around the corner.
05.04 It’s your wedding night!
21.39 The Fountains of Bellagio are a must-see at
dusk: where else can you find illuminated water jets dancing
to Frank Sinatra and Elvis?
08.05 The past few hours come back to you hazily. The “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign at the city-limit reminds you where you are.
20.00 Dine at the Stratosphere Tower for the
best view in town. But to see real stars in the sky, head
to the Grand Canyon.
09.10 Hunger drags you to the all-you-can-eat breakfast at Harrah’s. The chocolate fountain shows no sign of slowing down.
16.17 A trip to the Cirque du Soleil show is as
par for the course as a go on a one-armed bandit.
14.02 In the Arts District, the only art
you learn is how to sell anything.
10.56 Head downtown to “old” Las Vegas, to check out the first hotel casinos that opened in the 1940s.
12.07 The Neon Museum gives old billboards another lease of life as pop art. Your entrance fee helps
cover the electricity bill…
01.10 At the XS nightclub, spend what’s left
of the money you didn’t win. Catch the eye of a good-looking local.
More than 40 million people are attracted to the lights of Las Vegas every year

neon lights. Away we go into never-ending nightlife.

HEAVEN MUST WAITIn this, the year of light, we’re still light years away from flat-rate holidays in spaceEver since Captain Kirk first talked of the final frontier in Star Trek in the 1960s, we’ve wanted to travel into space. And ever since Dennis Tito became the first space tourist in 2001, we’ve known that it’s expensive. Companies such as Virgin Galactic and Space Adventures have already invested billions trying to make the dream reality. For a mere $250,000, Virgin will let you look at the Earth as you orbit the planet. In theory, at least. Sadly, last year their SpaceShipTwo fell like a star from the sky. And with it disappeared all our hopes of
widespread space tourism any time soon. So it will be a while before we can open our first solar particle umbrella in orbit or hitchhike through the galaxy. Until then, let’s appreciate the stars in the sky. Ideally somewhere with minimal light pollution like Uluru in Australia. Or in the Atacama Desert in Chile – you won’t see more stars anywhere else on Earth. And then there’s the next instalment of Star Wars hitting screens in December. It might just be enough to persuade us that the best spaceship is our own sofa.
Taking the weight off.
When will there be space

The guttural pock-pock-pock of the idling 860hp engine sounds like the love child of a Harley and an Apache helicopter, and renders anything Jason Clarke could say completely inaudible.The truck is unlike
anything the actor – best known for roles in Terminator Genisys and Zero Dark Thirty – has ever driven. This is an all-carbon, NASCAR-engine-equipped rig straight out of Mad Max, totally different from the Porsches and open-cockpit Radicals that petrolhead Clarke races in his downtime. Strapped in securely, he hits the gas and tears up a dusty hill in the Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area, north of LA.
At the crest, Clarke brakes suddenly and spins the rig around, creating a huge cloud as he races back. He gets out, his face as white as a sheet.
“It freaked me out,” says the 46-year-old. “I was like, ‘Whoa whoa whoa, put the brake on! I can’t see f--king anything over there, let alone where the track is.’ ”
Did he hit the top speed of 255kph? Clarke doesn’t know. He has his own measure, however.
“I was going fast enough,” he says, “for my anus to tighten.”
Risk and reward are the currency of Clarke’s career, an anomaly in a town that emphasises the safe bet. The approach suits the affable Australian just fine: the destination has been the journey from the very start. The eye-catching role in director Phillip Noyce’s aboriginal drama Rabbit-Proof Fence; the lauded, chilling performance as a CIA operative in Zero Dark Thirty? They were just stops along the way. He’s since proved his blockbuster status as simian sympathiser Malcolm in Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and John Connor in Genisys. But it’s his tender performance as doomed mountain guide Rob Hall in this month’s Everest that could cement Clarke in the minds of mainstream audiences and place him on the brink.
“On the brink of what? Of taking over from Robert Downey Jr?” he laughs. “That would be one of the great gigs, by the way.”
Clarke is seated on a park bench in the fading afternoon light, away from the dust and noise of the day. The Trophy Truck is parked nearby in all its glorious menace. It’s owned by Robert Acer, an enigma in the motorsport community who keeps his real name and identity cloaked behind a character clad all in black who never removes his Daft Punk-like helmet in public. A man
‘ ‘ F I N D YO U R OW N WAY. I T H I N K T H E R E ’S A DV E N T U R E I N T H AT ’ ’
When preparing for a role, Clarke totally immerses himself in the life of his character
Clarke got his first big acting role in his 30s, just as he
was thinking of giving up. Months later, he took a risk
and moved from Oz to LA
35
Not all airs are intentional. The torque and power of the Trophy Truck took Clarke by surprise a couple of times
‘ ‘C O M I N G TO A M E R I CA WAS A B I G T H I N G FO R
M E . E V E RY T H I N G WAS AT STA K E . I D I D N ’ T
H AV E A P L A N B’ ’
of means from Malibu, so the legend goes, Acer wouldn’t have minded if Clarke had wrecked the car, as long as the actor himself was unharmed.
“I didn’t want to tell Jason this,” says Acer, a muted voice behind a carbon helmet and a mirrored glass visor, “but the faster you go, the smoother it is.”
Clarke was born the son of a sheep shearer and a court clerk in the tiny town of Winton, Queensland. The eldest of four,
Clarke would lead his siblings on adventures in the vast expanse of the Outback. But the pull of the big city proved too strong.
He headed to Sydney, where he soon became infatuated with the backpackers who would stream through the café where he worked. When he figured out that acting might be able to provide the same sense of adventure, Clarke went about it pragmatically, enrolling on a course at drama school. Cue several years of struggle and dead ends. Broke, he leant on friends for help and began to question his life choices.
“If it wasn’t going to happen,” says Clarke now, “I would have gone and done something else. I don’t think there’s any point sitting around and being a suffering or frustrated actor.”
Then, as he was about to give up at the age of 33, a break came in the form of Noyce and Rabbit-Proof Fence. Clarke shone as a constable in the powerful aboriginal drama, and Noyce – a fellow Aussie who had successfully made the leap to the US – had an encouraging word in his ear. “Don’t be scared,” he told Clarke. So Clarke planned his next step, figuring how much it would cost, how much commitment he’d put into it, and readying himself for the possibility that he might return with nothing.
“Coming to America was a big thing for me,” he says. “It was an all-in thing. Everything was at stake. What are you going to do if it doesn’t work out? I didn’t have a Plan B. I grew up with my father and saw how hard that kind of labour is.”
Clarke had US$10,000 in his pocket when he landed in Los Angeles, eager to see how far the money would take him before it ran out. When the acting roles didn’t materialise, he climbed into the 1989 Ford Thunderbird he had bought himself and drove out to the desert, filling his time by rock
37
‘ ‘ T H E R E ’S T H AT P E R I O D W H E N YO U K E E P P U T T I N G YO U R FO OT I N T H E D O O R A N D I T J U ST K E E P S G E T T I N G C R U S H E D’ ’
climbing, or else going backpacking in Northern California.
“I felt like I was doing something,” he says. “If it didn’t work, well, at least I’d get to see America. Desire needs opportunity to have a go. And there’s that period when you keep putting your foot in the door and it just keeps getting crushed. Then, finally, you get your foot in the door and you poke your head in, you do your thing and someone says, ‘C’mon in.’”
That break was Brotherhood, a US TV series in which creator Blake Masters cast the unknown 37-year-old as one of the two leads. “I’ve been lucky like that a few times in my career,” he says. “With [directors] Michael Mann for Public Enemies, Kathryn Bigelow for Zero Dark Thirty and Baltasar [Kormákur] for Everest. There was a lot of pressure to cast a lot bigger names than me. I mean, [Christian] Bale was originally doing it.”
But Bale left and the rest of the names never really existed, says
the books, comparing accounts and discussing it in fine detail.”
Cotter was a young man when he joined Hall + Ball Adventure Consultants (the company set up by Rob Hall and business partner Gary Ball) in 1992, and the prospect of a film about his good friend was slightly worrying. The 1996 tragedy, in which eight climbers – including Hall – lost their lives when a storm hit during their descent, was a traumatic event that resonated way beyond the climbing community.
“There was every chance for it to be Hollywood-ised,” says Cotter. But Kormákur and Clarke got in touch soon after filming began and asked him to join the production. He became Clarke’s tutor in all things Hall, taking Clarke climbing in the mountains of his native New Zealand and on the Tasman Glacier. In Nepal, close to Everest Base Camp at 5,364m, Clarke would pester Cotter, asking him how he would move with this amount of oxygen deprivation, and how he’d communicate with the team.
And then there was the yak.There’s a shot in the film where
a herd of the beasts crosses a bridge. Kormákur demanded a few takes and the yaks protested. “You could see them getting irate,” says Cotter. Suddenly, one began to stampede, so Clarke and co-star Josh Brolin grabbed it by the horns before it sent someone over the cliff. It’s the kind of anecdote that sums up Clarke.
The day’s driving has come to an end and Clarke pulls himself out of the cab of the truck, his shades still on, the helmet off. He makes small talk with the catering guys reclining in the shade to escape the 30°C heat, his Australian twang subtle and charming. However high up the celebrity chain this acting thing takes him, Clarke wants to avoid becoming the awkward star: “I like my life, I like meeting people.”
Clarke spent a few months filming in Thailand this summer, then it was off to Prague to play a despised Nazi leader in a WWII movie, each trip a chance to find out a little more about the world. He recently became a father, and now legacy is on his mind too.
“There’s this famous quote: ‘Apart from his health, a man’s most valuable possession is his name.’ I don’t want to leave my kid with hundreds of millions of dollars. Find your own way. I think there’s adventure in that.”Everest opens in the UK on September 18
Kormákur. “I was interested in someone who was working his way up,” says the Icelandic director, who liked Clarke’s “gravity” in Zero Dark Thirty. “Someone who was hungry and ready to go the lengths with me.” And Clarke did it the only way he knows how: all in.
“You learn it in drama school, but you also learn it when travelling, especially backpacking,” says Clarke. “You’ve got to throw yourself into it. I backpacked a lot. Going around China, if you don’t understand where you’re going to change your money, what are you going to do? You’ve got to find where it is. As an actor, that’s your job.”
At Christmas a few years ago, the Everest cast was filming scenes at Pinewood Studios near London when a huge storm
hit Ireland and Scotland. Seizing the opportunity, Clarke and real-life Everest guide and consultant Guy Cotter got on a plane and headed north to 1,344m-high Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands.
“For two days, we went night climbing and abseiling in the storm, just to feel what it was like,” says Clarke. He wanted to understand how the little things, like a lost glove or a late start, could doom an expedition like Rob Hall’s in 1996, as famously chronicled in Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air.
“No one was like Jason,” says Cotter. “We would spend hours going through

waited there for another Jeep. We got to the hospital eight hours later. I reaped the rewards of rule two there: having professionals on board. How do you cope with setbacks like that?I didn’t have much choice but to throw myself into whatever work I could still do. As a freelancer, I had no salary to pay for the physiotherapist bills. I felt sorry for my ex-boyfriend as he tried helping me on a job where he carried my equipment out onto an Australian rules football field, while I followed on crutches.

We wanted to climb University Peak, a 4,100m mountain in south-east Alaska. There’s a downhill slope there that can only be used occasionally. When we got to the mountain, an avalanche came roaring through the route we’d planned to take. And then there were six more. And I understood, yet again, that there are times when you wouldn’t have a hope in hell of surviving. You’re constantly exposed to these sorts of risks. How do you minimise the danger?I have three rules. Plan meticulously, get experienced people on board and call off projects if they get too dangerous. That’s what we did that day in Alaska.But even that doesn’t always work. In 2011, you had to be rescued when your paraglider crashed into a rock-face in Pakistan.We were in the Rakaposhi-Haramosh Mountains.

I blacked out. I came to some minutes later and my face was bleeding.How did you get from the mountains to a hospital?Paraglider Tom De Dorlodot landed in the village and organised the rescue chain.

But it must take guts to showcase your own take on this much-loved character?I don’t think he’s altered too much. I felt very privileged to have the role, but it was frightening and still is. Were you certain that an older, darker Doctor Who would work?No, I had no idea, I just had to dive in. You can’t second-guess the audience and come up with a version of the Doctor that’s just for marketing. You have to come up with your own character, based on how you feel as an
actor, as an artist and try to be true to that, while at the same time playing the role that Steven (Moffat) writes. It seemed to me that Matt (Smith, the previous Doctor), who I absolutely loved, was a very accessible and friendly doctor. So it seemed right that I be a little less friendly. So you didn’t consider the prospect of the audience not warming to you?I didn’t want to seek the audience’s approval. I think
After more than 50 years on television courtesy of the BBC, Doctor Who has become a British institution, a cult show that
spans generations. For an actor, the role of the Doctor means intense scrutiny from die-hard fans and a whole new level of fame. Lifelong fan Peter Capaldi stepped into those large shoes last year as the 12th Doctor, older, darker and more cunning than most before him. As the ninth modern series hits our screens, the 57-year-old talks fame, risks and taking on the Tardis.
the red bulletin: Growing up as a die-hard fan of Doctor Who yourself, were you nervous about the huge expectations of the fans when you took on the role?peter capaldi: I was very nervous about playing the part, but I didn’t really think about the expectations of the fans. That’s never a useful thing to do, it would have only made me more nervous. I just tried to think about playing the part of the Doctor as best as I could.
that it is really important not to go out to ask the audience to love you. I think they must find out whether they like you or not. It is a risk.Now we know they’ve more than warmed to you, how scary is it to suddenly be the face of such a huge show?I sort of try not to look down – do you know what I mean? If I become over-conscious of the scale of interest in it, then I think that would make me a difficult person to live with. I mean I am difficult to live with, but it would make me even worse. I talked to Matt (Smith) about it the other day. I don’t think it’s a natural situation to be so easily recognised. And I’ve spoken
to David Tennant, who gave me some advice. I said: “What’s going to change?” And he said: “Well, you’ll become just incredibly visible.” At home, in the UK, that means when you buy groceries or go to the doctor, people look at you all the time and want to chat…It can’t be much fun for the Doctor to get hassled at the doctor’s…It can be a little odd when you are waiting at the surgery, minding your business. But
it’s fine, because you’re being given lots of affection.Which Doctor Who would you most like to go to the pub with?Myself – I’m always happy to hang out with myself. I don’t dislike any qualities about the Doctor. I like the fact that he’s tricky and distant, then sometimes he’s friendly, sometimes clumsy, and sometimes he’s elegant. How was your first Tardis experience as the Doctor?I’d been in the show once with David (Tennant) in an episode called The Fires of Pompeii, which I thought would be my only involvement with Doctor Who. I was so pleased to be asked. In fact, I didn’t even
read the script. I said: “I just want to do this!” My wife said: “No, you’re a professional actor, you have to read it and see what it’s like.” So I read it and off I went. David showed me the Tardis, which I found quite moving. I had no idea a few years later I’d be driving it myself. It’s very different now because I’m the centre of it. It’s a wonderful place to be.

The Walk is released on October 9: thewalk-movie.net
Did you have any reservations about the role? Are you scared of heights?Remember, I wasn’t doing it 100 storeys up. I don’t have a particular fear of heights, but my dad does. When he saw the movie he was crying out in terror throughout.Can you imagine what it takes to perform a stunt like that?Philippe is a huge control freak, but that’s also where his strength lies. He’s so well organised in what he does and that goes part of the way to explaining why he’s achieved everything he has. And it’s
also a sort of concentration game. When he taught me to walk on the tightrope he said, “You find a point to focus on straight in front of you. Only look at that and don’t think of anything else. You don’t look anywhere else. You don’t think of anything else. As soon as you lose your focus, you lose your balance, too. There’s a very deep connection between your body and mind.” Would you want to do what Philippe Petit does?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has come a long way since he became a household name in US sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun. He’s starred in box-
office hits like 10 Things I Hate About You, indie favourites such as (500) Days of Summer and enjoyed a range of mainstream successes from Looper to Lincoln. He even wrote, directed and starred in his own big-screen offering Don Jon which saw him getting up close and personal with Scarlett Johansson (being the scriptwriter clearly has its advantages). But in latest film The Walk, Gordon-Levitt reaches new heights.
the red bulletin: Philippe Petit was 414m above ground when he performed his tightrope stunt between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Have you wondered what that felt like?joseph gordon-levitt: I can imagine. I was at the top of the World Trade Center in July 2001. It wasn’t like being in a building, it was like being on board a plane.
I’m not the daredevil type who likes to jeopardise his physical wellbeing. That’s not how I get my kicks. I started at 60cm and when I was good enough, I moved up to 4m, which was the height I shot my scenes at. But even though I’m not particularly scared of heights, my body cramped up with fear because my instincts kicked in. I only really got used to it by the end of filming. But the way I see it, Philippe’s walk is more of a metaphor. You can achieve courageous things if you set your mind to it. That’s a lot easier said than done… Of course not everyone is cut out for it in the same way.
Some people find certain things easier than others, because we know that life on Earth isn’t fair. But it would be even easier to say, “I don’t care about anything. I can’t achieve anything. I can’t be the person I’d like to be.” That’s a cowardly attitude.You’ve clearly realised your full potential. You’re one of the most heralded actors of your generation and you founded an innovative media website called
HitRecord. Why did things work out in your favour?I have a lot to be grateful to my parents for. They gave me self-confidence and taught me to always listen to myself instead of others telling me what I should be or think. Have you ever tried anything that seemed impossible, like Philippe Petit?Acting comes with its fair share of risks. And I’m hooked on them. I look for how I can take ever greater risks and then I try and overcome them. In that sense, The Walk is probably the greatest challenge of my career.And was it simply courage that got you through? It’s also a case of manipulating
your mind. Philippe told me I shouldn’t say ‘fall’. Instead I would ‘decide when to step off’. So he was setting up a vocabulary of positive thinking. That’s hugely important. I believe people who complain a lot have more bad things happen, whereas it tends to be other way around when you have a positive attitude.Julia and Rüdiger Sturm

the red bulletin: The deejaying world is very competitive, as you know from having won the world championship three times yourself. Why do you share your tricks with the competition? qbert: I used to read spiritual books when I was a teenager and I was impressed by the notion of karma: “You reap what you sow.” So that’s why I started teaching young DJs my skills early on. That gave my creativity an enormous boost.So it’s all about cosmic balance?Well, you automatically improve by performing your tricks. Plus it gets you thinking about your technique, and that in turn gives you new ideas. You only get better by interacting with others. And quite aside from all that, there’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing the smile of a pupil the moment something clicks. Working with someone is more satisfying than competing against them.
From big-screen hits Beautiful Creatures, The Day After Tomorrow and last year’s You’re Not You, starring Hilary Swank, to small-
screen stardom in the US version of hit TV series Shameless, American actress Emmy Rossum is learning lessons at every turn.
the red bulletin: You once said in an interview, “Men only need two things to be happy: cheese on toast and sex.”emmy rossum: I was only joking. Well, I’m sure there are plenty of men who wouldn’t disagree… It’s true that men are wired more simply when it comes to their biological make-up. They’re normally thinking about food or sex.How about women?If you’ll allow me to resort to a ridiculous generalisation, women are a lot more complex. Mainly in that they’re more emotional. You’ve got to say the right thing at the right time to us. Does your life philosophy include cheese on toast?I try to live by the motto, “Carpe diem”. Seize the day. We need to make a conscious effort to live in the here and now, because we don’t know how much time we have. I met a lot of patients with (neurodegenerative disease) ALS when I was filming You’re Not You. That sort of experience keeps your feet on the ground.
How does that grounding manifest itself in you?I’m less afraid of illness now than I used to be. And I try to make even more of an emotional commitment to people who have problems. If I see someone who needs help, I’m the first to get up and offer it. Avoiding people who are sick or just in some way different is the easiest thing to do. But it only takes a tiny effort to start a conversation. “What is it you have?” And then we talk about it.What do you do if there are no people in dire need around you?It’s about a basic attitude to life. In Shameless, I play a woman earning minimum wage to help her five siblings survive. It couldn’t be less glamorous, but through her I learnt to give up vanity totally. Vanity is your enemy. The moment you start thinking about how you look, your brain blocks off everything else.You once said that your Jewish heritage influences your view on life...I identify more with the culture than the religion. I don’t speak Hebrew. I don’t keep kosher. But that’s not what it’s all about. The Jewish code of ethics and morals is at the heart of most other religions, too. Don’t lie. Be good to your nearest and dearest. Work hard. If you see someone who needs help, help him. Be the best version of yourself you can be.Rüdiger Sturm

Daniela Ryf doesn’t beat pain, overcome pain or avoid pain. Instead, the European Ironman
champion knows how to put it to good use, as an affirmation, motivation and a source of energy

he day before Daniela Ryf competed in her first Ironman competition, she did everything you’re not supposed to do. She decided not to rest that Saturday in July 2014 for
the 3.8km swim, 180.2km cycle and 42.2km run she faced in less than 24 hours’ time. Instead, she chose to do the Olympic distances of a 1.5km swim, 40km cycle and 10km run. Her mental preparation was winning that race on Saturday, and seeing how her backside handled it (“Would it be killing me after five hours in the saddle?”). For dinner, she had pizza, fried sausages, spaghetti Bolognese, ice cream and chocolate.As Ryf stood on the starting line the next day, her coach, Brett Sutton, told her, “Just think of it as a training run. If you don’t finish, it doesn’t matter.” “OK,” said the 5ft 9in athlete, who still thought of herself as a specialist over the shorter Olympic distance.Nine-and-a-quarter hours later, she crossed the finish line at the Zurich Ironman competition in first place.

“That’s when I began to believe that Ironman could be my thing,” she says.
Just to get through an Ironman – let alone go on and win one – you have to have an unusual relationship with physical torture. Most athletes manage to overcome it or hold it at bay. But this 28-year-old from Switzerland does things a little differently – Ryf uses the pain to her advantage.
“Pain is the sign that I’m taking things to the next level,” she says, “It tells me that my body and I are crossing a threshold I’ve never reached before.”
In other words, Ryf is motivated by pain. If it hurts, then she tries to take it up another notch. Why? Because she wants to know what her body – “this lazy machine”, as she calls it – is really capable of. “Because whatever doesn’t hurt is just your comfort zone.”
When Ryf leaves her comfort zone, it’s not just her muscles begging and pleading for her to stop all this torture. Her rivals suffer, too. Since 2013, she’s been crowned European champion twice and world champion once over the middle distance, European champion over the Olympic distance and European Ironman champion. Ryf trains for up to seven hours a day to make that happen. A quick Sunday marathon or a bike ride from Bern to Zurich are standard for her.
Does the pain that goes with training also motivate her when she’s competing?
“No,” she says. “I push myself to the limit in training so that I don’t have to when I’m competing. Competing is just like a university exam where you show whether you’re well prepared or not.”
Although Ryf’s life revolves around training, the bubble that so many top athletes live in is, in her case, full of holes. She’s not all that interested in sport, for example. Or, to be more specific, interested in talking about it. “I talk to my friends about the state of affairs, politics and personal stuff, but never
62
about sport,” she says. She follows Banksy JK Rowling, Maria Sharapova, and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on Twitter. She studies Food Science & Management in Bern and “definitely” wants to do something in that area in the future – “preferably healthy eating for people who aren’t at all bothered about healthy eating”. She once spoke to Dave Scott, a legendary triathlete who has won Ironman Hawaii six times, for a quarter of an hour without realising who he was.
That compulsion to move, which means that Ryf is out on her bike or on the running track after every university lecture, is something she inherited from her family. Her father is a mountain guide, her mother a marathon runner and her stepfather a triathlete. She scraped together the money for her first racing bike herself when she was 14 by working on the conveyor belt at her stepfather’s

tool-making company during the school holidays. “I worked 10-hour shifts,” she says, “pushing the same button 60 times a minute, just so I could earn as much money as possible.”
In 2000, Ryf competed in a school triathlon, and then joined a junior team. The triathlon suited her. “There are no tactics and no tricks. The quickest person wins. That’s all there is to it.”
In the same way that Ryf is opposed to clever tactics and tricks, she also
Only three-time world champion Mirinda Carfrae of Australia finished ahead of her. And all this just a few months after making her Ironman debut in Zurich. But the plaudits were no consolation to the rising star. “I’m disappointed,” she said truculently when interviewed afterwards. “I wanted to win.”
Thoughts of revenge are a motivating factor every time Ryf trains. She thinks of that moment last October when she lost the world championships. She’d finished the cycle a couple of minutes
eschews another basic cultural nicety that is common in the world of top sportspeople: diplomatic drivel. Instead, she says things like, “I want to be first,” and, “Sometimes I compare my body to my fellow competitors and I’m intimidated when they look fitter than I do.”
Ryf was heralded by the experts after her debut appearance at the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii – the most prestigious event of the year – in October 2014, where she finished second in what is effectively the world championships.
ahead of the second-placed rider, and for 35km of the run she was out in front on her own. But then her main rival managed to surge past her and, in the end, was too fast to catch.
When Ryf goes on training runs now, the pace she sets for herself is the speed at which she was overtaken by Mirinda Carfrae that crushing day.
And when the pain comes, she takes it up a notch. Then she keeps up that pace until the pain subsides.danielaryf.ch

1PHENOMENON The foil on a sailing boat works like the
wing of an aeroplane. Given enough speed, the fin creates lift, the hull rises
from the water and, oddly, the boat looks as if it’s floating above the water. The earlier sailors master this stroke of physics-based genius, the better. Which
is why the Red Bull Foiling Generation regattas are aimed at talented sailors
aged 16-20 from all over the world.
67
SPEEDBOATFoiling technology is new, and it’s here to stay. So say two-time Olympic gold medal winners Roman Hagara and Hans-Peter Steinacher, the men in charge of the Red Bull Foiling Generation, because foils create serious speed. They offer almost no resistance in the water, with even a little wind increasing the pace. Flying Phantom catamarans can reach 35 knots, which is over 60kph.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES All participants in the Red Bull Foiling Generation get to sail the same 18ft Flying Phantom catamarans. With a level playing field as far as equipment is concerned, athleticism and ability should separate the wheat from the chaff at the regattas.3

4EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMITWhile skimming over the water on their foils, the catamarans react instantly to the slightest manoeuvre. Just keeping the boat going straight ahead is hard enough, but when tacking and gybing, the boats turn into nervous racehorses, chasing down every wave. If the foils tip up at high speed, the results are dramatic. The vessel plunges head first into the water and the crew is thrown mercilessly overboard.

The Grand Palais is 72,000m² and opened its doors in 1900. On June 26, 5,000 revellers came to hear the latest sounds (left). Right: rapper Niska, surrounded by his entourage
Crowd pleaser: everybody wants to get close to American rapper Travis Scott
The queue is huge. It’s 1am and people are arriving in their hundreds, eager to get into the Grand Palais. It’s a 72,000m² monster of steel, stone and glass that was inaugurated at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1900. But there’s no Belle Époque nostalgia here. The Grand Palais is modern. And this is where the biggest party of the summer in Paris is kicking off.
“Keffer to Yoan...” Photographer Keffer contacts Yoan Prat using
It’s getting hot in here… the Yard party crowd are dressed for dancing
a security guard’s walkie-talkie. Prat and Tom Brunet, founders of creative agency Yard, are in charge of the event, and Prat appears through a side entrance with the all-important access-all-areas passes. He’s wearing white Air Force 1 basketball shoes, which aren’t at all out of place. In fact, almost everyone at Yard is over 190cm tall. Prat and Brunet met on the court, and that fact is now reflected in the dress code.
So what exactly is Yard? “The best hip-hop party in France,” says Brunet, from behind the DJ decks. The line-up bears this out: Hologram Lo’, Supa!,
Virgil Abloh, Kanye West’s creative director, starts a spontaneous DJ set
THE RED BULLETIN 75
Girls Girls Girls, Kyu St33d, Endrixx and Yannick Do are all here.
If the crowd was a smoking volcano before, it erupts when the light show starts. There are already more than 3,500 people packing the venue. Leading up from the masses, a monumental, grand double staircase winds its way to the VIP floor. It’s up there you get the best view of the impressive and intricate Nave, fashioned from more steel than it took to make the Eiffel Tower.
The space is huge and the sound system is scaled to suit. “Here, you’re mostly getting modern hip-hop with Future Bass, African music and dancehall influences for modern, lively cities,” says Prat.
“It’s an incredibly mixed young crowd with endless energy,” adds Brunet. “They’re here to be different, to make a point.”
The crowd is a combination of white, black, Asian, Middle Eastern… People are dolled up to the nines in stylish designs or dressed very simply, like they’re headed to the basketball court. Some drink glasses of water, others champagne. And there are lots of attractive women clearly in their element.
At about 2am, rapper Niska takes to the stage and the crowd is buzzing. It’s the reaction the organising duo hoped for. “Niska is the internet discovery of 2015,” says Brunet. “We totally wanted to be the first people to get him out there.”
But the person most of the revellers here are waiting for is American rapper Travis Scott. The excitement has been building all day on social networks, ticket holders boasting, those who missed out lamenting. “I want total chaos!” roars Scott when he finally arrives. But he isn’t on stage for long. He jumps into the crowd and then a few seconds later he reappears minus his top. Scott sprays champagne all over the sound system like a man possessed, soaking DJ Endrixx at the controls in the process. Virgil Abloh, a New Yorker who also happens to be the creative director for Kanye West, appears out of nowhere, clearly used to alcohol-related meltdowns. He hooks Travis up to another system and the
show goes on. Scott really gets the party going before leaving the stage. Then Pablo Attal from the Yard crew roars into the microphone, “All the Africans out there, make some noise!”
Anyone who loves sub-Saharan sounds gets their money’s worth from DJ Yannick Do, who brings the party to a close with music from Nigeria, Ghana, Congo and Ivory Coast. “African music at the Grand Palais is an historic moment,” Yannick shouts. “This is the future of France right here in front of me.” Though
this doesn’t apply to American Owen Wilson, it’s at this moment the actor appears on the grand staircase. As does Sonia Rolland, a former Miss France. And then there’s Nekfeu, one of France’s best-known rappers, chilling on the dancefloor. Here, the eclectic crowd is just focused on the music, 5,000 dedicated revellers dancing until dawn.
It’s the last thing the 1,500 workers who built the Grand Palais more than 120 years ago could have imagined.oneyard.com

See it. Get it. Do it.
Forget speedboats. To experience what it’s like to fly over ocean waves at over 40mph (65kph) with nothing but brute strength to stop you being hurled overboard, you have to jump onboard a Zapcat. Booming in popularity with adrenalin-seeking seafarers everywhere, Zapcats are small catamarans built for just one thing: going very, very fast.

There are no seats, no steering wheel and no harnesses: it’s just an inflatable twin hull
and a 50bhp engine. Pilots navigate via a tiller system and rely on the shifting bodyweight of both themselves and their co-pilot to keep the vessel on course – especially when taking on Mother Nature’s mighty swells.
Jumping waves and leaping up to 1.8m in the air are all part of the fun, though, which is why the choppy waters of the North Sea are perfect for experiencing Zapcatting in all its rough-and-ready glory.
“A white-knuckle ride is a good description,” says Guy McKenzie, Zapcat pilot and co-founder of St Andrews-based adventure outfit Blown Away. “It’s high-adrenalin. In terms of car speeds, the Zapcats travel at 40mph (65kph) or more, which on water is pretty quick. You can even keep that

speed going into 90- and 180-degree turns. They’re amazing pieces of kit.”
With turns that fast, Zapcat riders will experience a G-force of 3G – just below that of an F1 car. And newbies don’t get much adjustment time. “We have one co-pilot per driver to make it faster and more exciting,” McKenzie says. “But they’re not just sitting there holding on for dear life – they’re responsible for helping balance and manoeuvre the boat around the turns. If you have one person in a Zapcat, it’ll almost do a wheelie with the amount of power if you accelerate hard. You need the second person to keep the weight down at the front to allow it to travel forward, not up in the air.”
Racing at high speeds in a lightweight vessel means there’s a risk of wipeouts – search YouTube for ‘Bad Day at the Zapcat Office!’ However, McKenzie says, they’re few and far between. “Yeah, our insurance company saw that YouTube clip, too,” he laughs. “That’s the fully prepared racing guys who are out in a championship-style event. We’re looking to get the same feeling, but we’re not trying to kill people! It’s full on, though, definitely a ‘hold on tight’ experience.”

Hublot Big Bang Ferrari Titanium Carbon
When it comes to cool watches based on fast cars, Hublot and Ferrari’s latest design isn’t so much ‘inspired by’ as forged in the
garage itself. To mark the third year of their collaboration, the Hublot team spent time
with the Ferrari design studio staff, engineers and technicians, visiting the factory and
studying the materials they used. The result? A timepiece that’s unlike anything else on the market. Making the most of the Swiss
watchmaker’s taste for ‘fusion’, the Big Bang Ferrari’s sporty 45mm case blends advanced
elements including versatile carbon fibre (lighter than aluminium, stronger than steel),
anti-corrosive titanium and, erm, rubber to create a look and feel that’s unique. And,
fittingly for a Ferrari, there’s just as much going on under the hood as on the surface: the self-winding Unico movement (manufactured
in-house by Hublot) comprises 330 hand-assembled components, while the flyback
chronograph means the watch is safe at pressures of up to 10 bar. It even has Ferrari’s
exclusive edge; with only 1,000 of these bad boys in existence, expect them to disappear
faster than the Scuderia’s finest. hublot.com

GOING FOR GOLDThe GT-R celebrates its birthday in style A 45th anniversary is traditionally celebrated with sapphires – but for its Limited Edition 45th Anniversary GT-R, Nissan has cracked open the champagne instead. The modern GT-R shares little DNA with the original Skyline GT-R, but there’s still reason to rejoice. Nissan is making 100 special-edition models, painted champagne gold in a nod to 2001’s Skyline R34 GT-R M-spec. As well as the eye-catching paint job, you’ll find a commemorative plaque on the centre console and a special serial number in the engine bay, along with all the standard 2015 GT-R features. But if you don’t think a four-wheel drive, 3.8-litre, twin-turbo V6 that delivers 550hp is special already, you really need a test drive. nissan.co.uk
SIGN OF THE TIMES
Ferrari goes big on turbo with fewer emissions
The Ferrari 488 GTB: a twin-turbo supercar
with a 3.9-litre V8 (below), taking you
from 0-100kph in just three seconds
To the delight of supercar fans and vendors of posters for teenagers’ bedroom walls, the Ferrari 488 GTB, unveiled earlier this year in Geneva, is now rolling out of showrooms. The new model is a very different animal to its predecessor, the 458 Italia, dropping over half a litre of displacement, but delivering an extra 100hp from its new 3.9-litre twin-turbo direct-injection V8.
A turbocharged Ferrari is still ever-so-slightly controversial, but even the Scuderia has to live in the real world – or at least the real world as defined by government emissions drive cycles – and reduce CO2 output. The 488 GTB might not have quite the same emotional appeal as an old-school,
normally aspirated model that revs to infinity and beyond, but it’s still got the chops to turn wealthy middle-aged men into giggling schoolboys when they floor the throttle.
It’s also technically impressive. Maranello may have been dragged kicking and screaming into Formula One’s economy era, but there’s doubtless crossover to be leveraged from the direct-injection turbo engine used in motorsport’s premier category. There’s an awful lot of literature about response times and power delivery, but the bottom line is a car that, in the hands of professionals, laps Ferrari’s Fiorano circuit slightly faster than the top-of-the-range 458 Speciale. ferrari.com

The Red Bulletin: The Martian has been on an impressive journey – from self-published ebook to New York Times bestseller to Hollywood movie in just four years…Andy Weir: It’s been the most surreal thing. It’s kind of hard to describe, like you’re watching someone else’s life play out. The story sees astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) left behind on Mars and having to use science to survive. Where did you get the idea?I’m a space nut. This was just me speculating: how could we do a manned Mars mission with the tech we have right now? How would the crew cope if things went wrong? So I created an unfortunate protagonist and subjected him to all of these increasingly desperate problems. It was really important to me that it was scientifically accurate – I’m a really picky reader and it drives me crazy when I see scientific inaccuracies. I was like, ‘OK, you’ve got to go the whole hog on this.’How did you feel when you heard director Ridley Scott wanted to make it into a movie?Suddenly a bunch of my dreams were coming true. He’s made some iconic sci-fi movies and I love the way he directs. He likes huge landscapes, and that scale is perfect for Mars. How has the success of The Martian affected you?I always wanted to be a full-time writer, but I wasn’t willing to take the financial risk. I was a computer programmer my whole life and I wrote The Martian as a hobby. Now it’s made enough money for me to live on, I’ve quit my day job and I’m working on my next book. I’m taking my shot.The Martian opens in the UK on September 30. For more, go to redbulletin.com/AndyWeir

THE PLAYLIST FOALSIf there’s one young band that deserves comparison with Talking Heads, it’s Foals. Just like David Byrne’s legendary group, this British five-piece skilfully blend leftfield styles such as post-punk, disco funk and math rock with soaring indie-pop melodies. Following the success of 2013’s Holy Fire, which peaked at number two in the UK and topped the Australian album chart, the band have unveiled the follow-up, What Went Down, with a heavier, guitar-driven element added to the mix. Here, 29-year-old frontman Yannis Philippakis reveals five songs that have influenced his songwriting. foals.co.uk
“This song is on an album called Prison Songs Volume One: Murderous Home, a compilation of US recordings from the 1940s. The way those incarcerated men sing is so touching. It’s like they’re channelling their souls through this song, drumming the rhythm with pickaxes. It’s haunting, and
it reminds you that the most powerful music in the world is just a voice and a beat. You don’t need anything else.”
BB & GroupOld Alabama
“The first time I listened to this song [from the 2013 album Impersonator] was on New Year’s Day last year. It was like I had an intimate companion in my head, helping me through my hangover. The tune is sparse – it’s all about the vocals. They make you feel like you’re in a poetic Alcoholics
Anonymous meeting with someone telling you his innermost fears. It’s a dark, deep record, and I’ll love it for ever.”
“I love this electronic duo, because every decision they make is the opposite of what I’d do musically. Take this track [from the 2013 album Psychic]: there are so many moments when I’d expect something to kick in, but they reverse it and create more negative space.
There’s a lot of space in Darkside’s psychedelic cosmos and yet it feels natural, which I enjoy a lot.”
“This elusive producer does modern London like nobody else, and in his voice and lyrics, he captures a kind of fractured Britishness. War Report [from the recent EP Babyfather] is a weirdly appealing song that feels like he wrote it in half an hour in a hotel room. It’s thin
and unadorned, which makes it sound very human. It’s surely not everybody’s cup of tea, but I’m a big fan of his.”
DarksideGolden Arrow
Dean BluntWar Report
Magical CloudzBugs Don’t Buzz
Iggy PopThe Passenger
“I discovered this song when I was 15. A girl I had a crush on made me a mix cassette with this tune on it. My parents didn’t listen to rock music, so it was the first time I realised that classic rock hits are classics for a reason. The Passenger is so amazing and timeless
because it’s such a simple song – there’s no trickery. That honesty is exactly what I crave when I write music.”

1Choose carefully where you swim“There’s only one place on Earth I’m aware of where you can dive outside the cage with a Great White – in Guadelupe, Mexico, where the water is so clear the shark can see you’re not prey. [Only one operator is known to have offered this controversial practice.] Otherwise, diving with Great Whites is done from a cage, full stop. In the murky waters around Dyer Island in South Africa, where these sharks shoot up from depth to hit seals at the surface, to go for a swim would be… unwise.”
2Watch their body language“Sharks will tell you if they’re in a dangerous mood. If a shark has its back arched, its mouth open and gills billowing, pectoral fins dropped low, and its movements are sharp and angular, it’s ready for action. Stay inside the cage! But if the shark is moving languidly with its mouth closed and its fins splayed wide like wings, it’s merely cruising.”
3Feel no fear“Don’t be afraid. Sharks have evolved to focus on stress signals in prey and can sense your fear. Faster breathing and a quickened pulse are transmitted through the water as vibrations. So breathe deeply and relax.”
4Own the water “Great Whites are surprisingly meek in their interactions with other predators. When preying on seals, it’s the tiny, defenceless pups they’ll go for. In their confrontations with each other, they’ll swim side by side to compare who’s biggest, and the smaller one will swim off at top speed. When you’re in the water with a Great White, be big, have attitude and confidence, watch your back and the sharks will ignore you.”
5Take note of your surroundings“It doesn’t matter how much money or time you’ve spent getting to Guadelupe or any other diving location. If it’s getting close to dusk – which is when sharks tend to switch into predatory mode – or if the visibility is poor, or there are more sharks than planned, or anything is less than perfect, don’t be a hero: pull the dive immediately.”

Through his work on programmes such as Deadly 60 and Swimming With Monsters, Backshall has learnt the importance of showing sharks a healthy respect when sharing their waters. If you encounter one in the wild, this lesson could save your life. “Bear in mind that if you do get attacked by a shark, these much-maligned and beautiful animals will be demonised,” he says, “regardless of whether it was their fault or not.” sharktrust.org/en/no_limits

The Life Style Sports Run In The Dark plays a vital role in funding The Mark Pollock Trust’s mission to find and connect people around the world to fast-track a cure for paralysis. The Mark Pollock Trust and Wings For Life will benefit directly from each Run In The Dark entry.

Chances are you wouldn’t associate monks with acts of ass-kicking, death-defying showmanship. But for the stars of new show Shaolin (running until October 17) , they’re par for the course. Practising Shaolin Kung Fu – one of the oldest styles of Chinese martial arts – from the age of four, this 30-strong cast of Shaolin monks are bringing their formidable physical prowess to the West End stage. And with their ability to do handstands on two fingers, balance their bodies on spear tips and break iron rods over their heads, it’s sure to be a jaw-dropping experience. peacocktheatre.com

With American Football getting more and more popular in the UK, the NFL is heading back to Wembley for the 2015 International Series – a three-game showcase of one of the USA’s biggest sporting franchises. Kicking off the mini-season are the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets – two east-coast teams with an infamous rivalry stretching back to their first meeting in 1966. With the stats suggesting an even match-up (they’re tied on five wins apiece since 2010), this promises to be an epic clash and a great advert for the game – with all the cheerleading spectacle you’d expect. wembleystadium.com

Dublin, Ireland
After rave reviews down under, veteran stage and
TV comic Bill Bailey brings his latest show to
Dublin for three crazy nights before a huge
six-month tour of Ireland and the UK. Themed
around “the gap between how we imagine our lives to be and how they really are”, Limboland sees the
surrealist stand-up deliver a new batch of
bizarre family travelogues, quick-witted satirical
rants and even some of his signature songs.

Outrival jacket by Dare2bdare2b.com
A distinctive jacket that’s related to a stunt kite More than just a pretty pattern, there’s substance to go with the style. This jacket is made from ripstop polyester, the same fabric used for stunt kites and paragliding canopies. But rather than giving you a lift, in this case it keeps the wind firmly at bay, as do the adjustable scuba hood, cuffs and hem. You’ll still be as agile as ever while enjoying respite from the elements, with underarm insets ensuring you have a full range of movement. So you can wave when your striking slicker gets you noticed.

These boots are as happy in town as in the mountains There’s no doubting this is one tough pair of boots. The suede finish is durable, and the Gortex lining ensures that anything that’s encountered on the outside doesn’t get anywhere near you. Then there’s the microporous, shock-absorbent sole and ankle support to ease wear and tear on your feet. But, although these boots won’t be phased by a trek or two, you don’t have to go scaling mountains in order to wear them. Italian brand Dolomite has given them a sleek design and muted colour that makes them an equally attractive choice for urban exploring, perhaps in the less demanding terrain of the pub.

DEBRZNO, POLAND, JUNE 15, 2015A Hollywood stunt in Debrzno? Not a problem for Felix Baumgartner and drifting ace Jakub Przygonski. Felix pursued the state-of-the-art drift car in a two-tonne helicopter down a former airstrip. His zigzagging and wild tilting, all perilously close to the ground, resulted in a three-minute blockbuster. Watch it at: redbulletin.com/helidrifting
MAGIC MOMENT: MAKES YOU FLY
“I perform at the top of my game when things get dangerous” Helicopter pilot Felix Baumgartner flies low in pursuit of a 1,000hp Toyota, putting the nerves of steel he honed for Red Bull Stratos to good use
