Welcome back to Chancing My Arm – the pod with purpose.

In this episode, I’m joined by Craig Bracefield, also known as The Amped Surfer. Craig is at a turning point in his life — following a serious motorbike crash, he’s made the life-changing decision to undergo the amputation of his leg.

We dive deep into his journey: the crash itself, the out-of-body experiences that followed, and how his faith and signs from above have guided and validated this decision. And, of course, we talk about his love of surfing, the waves that keep calling him, and how he’s finding purpose and perspective in the face of extreme challenge.

This is Episode 6 of Chancing My Arm — a story of courage, faith, and the extraordinary ways life can guide us when we truly listen.

This week on Chancing My Arm, I’m joined by Ric Jupp — one of the founding members of Elbow.
We talk about the early days of the band, finding your voice creatively, and what it really takes to keep going in a long career built on collaboration, trust, and timing. Ric shares reflections on music, life beyond the spotlight, and the quieter moments that shape the work just as much as the big ones.

It’s a grounded, thoughtful conversation about creativity, commitment, and chancing your arm when the path ahead isn’t clear.
