Bikes, bets and behind-the-scenes footage
with Spiro model Jamie
Driving hundreds of miles, falling off a bike into the icy water of a Lake District river, and strip-
ping down to his underwear in a public car park were all part of the job for professional model
Jamie Roche – star of the new Spiro product brochure.
Jamie used his GoPro to record his experience of modelling for the performance sportswear
brand in an entertaining vlog. The footage gives an insight into all that goes into capturing
Spiro’s action photography, and also the fun and antics that the team get up to behind the
scenes. Photographer Tim Jervis may not be so quick to agree, having lost a bet (and £10)
to Jamie, who was required to don his trunks and plunge into the icy cold waters to win the
wager. You can view the vlog on YouTube –
The new Spiro catalogue featuring Jamie modelling the new styles for 2017 is available now.
