Watch: Soli Bailey // Conehead

It took Soli Bailey seven swings on the QS before he made the CT, and then he was off again after one year. Hasn't been back.

There's all manner of ways to look at Soli's comp career: learning the art of discipline, doing an apprenticeship, harbouring ambition. Undoubtedly, the more exciting chapter of his career began after the CT, when sponsor O'Neill stuck with him as he pivoted toward cone-seeking core-lord.

That tale isn't told in stats and news stubs, but in keeper clips, which when rolled together add up to fourteen-minutes of chicken skin-inducing footage.

He did six events on the QS the year before last - even won an event - and qualified for the Changa, but then only traveled to one event. Doesn't look too interested.
