Episode 85- Mark Watts and letting your subconscious do the work

February 7, 2019

Mark Watts is one of only a very few UK pilots to have won the British Championships, a PWC, the UK X-Contest League, AND held the open distance record (at 275 km, which held until 2017). He has been on the British team many times, currently shares the out and back record in the UK with Hugh Miller and has been competing for over 25 years. Relentlessly fast, tactical, and consistent whenever Mark shows up at a comp you've got a formidable opponent. Mark has been one of the most-requested guests we've had because he avoids the spotlight, so while his flying resume speaks for itself not much is known about what makes him tick.
