    Bru Time Podcast #192 - Dave Ashpole: Army Sniper, Firefighter, and Motocross Lifelong Passion

    CONTACT ME - leave a text or VOICEMAIL This week on the Bru Time Podcast, I sit down with Dave Ashpole (@d_ash999), an operational UK Fire & Rescue worker, lifelong motocross enthusiast, and former British Army sniper. Dave shares his journey from leaving school with no qualifications to joining the infantry, serving on tense combat tours in Northern Ireland, and training the Afghan National Army in 2003. He opens up about the perverse sense of pride that comes with delivering tough news in uniform, the modern "corporate" shift within the emergency services, and why he chooses to view psychological resilience as "mental fitness" rather than mental health. We also get heavily into the bike talk - discussing the best forgiving off-road bikes for beginners, his ongoing battle with a severe ACL injury at 45, and plenty of lighthearted banter comparing the complete package of the BMW GS to the raw adrenaline of a KTM. In this episode we cover:  • Dave's background and the childhood spark that started a 2-wheel obsession.  • The realities of transition: Going from the "Mob" to driving lorries to entering the Fire Service.  • Inside the modern Fire Service: Why modern recruitment is struggling and why veterans miss the old watch culture.  • Listener Q&A: Beginner green laning tips, favorite UK tarmac routes (Scotland vs. Wales), and the absolute best/worst bikes currently sitting in his garage.  • Mental Fitness: How first responders pack away trauma and the warning signs of hitting a wall.

    CONTACT ME - leave a text or VOICEMAIL In this episode of Bru Time, I sit down with the truly inspirational Nigel Limb, better known as "Blind Bloke Racing." Nigel’s life changed forever on December 27th, during a speedway race on Mablethorpe Beach. What should have been a standard post-Christmas race ended in a horrific high-speed crash that left Nigel in a coma with a Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI)—a brain injury so severe that doctors told his wife, Julie, he would likely not survive, or would remain in a persistent vegetative state. In this episode, we discuss: The Crash: The moment Nigel’s speedway bike went straight into a concrete wall at full throttle.The "Room of Doom": The devastating prognosis Nigel’s family faced and the decision to keep him on life support.A True Miracle: Nigel’s journey from a 0% chance of recovery to sitting up in a hospital bed just 11 days later.The Aftermath: The immense mental toll the accident took on his wife, Julie, and how their lives were turned upside down in a matter of days.Nigel is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the "never give up" attitude of the racing community.
