Rob hosted The Science of Thrills for Insight, a newly launched, worldwide, Ultra HD Channel. In it, Rob rode some of the biggest and baddest roller coasters around the world to understand the science behind what makes them so great.
In 2015, Rob ran 7 marathons, on 7 continents, in 7 days. This amazing feat of endurance was captured in Monster Marathon Challenge, a 2-part series for Travel Channel. In 2013, Rob went on another global pursuit for the 6-part series Man Vs World.
The series saw Rob undertake various point-to-point journeys using almost 30 different modes of transport, with only one rule: no engines allowed; it was nature and manpower all the way.
