Al Gosling, CEO of The Extreme Sports Company, has spent the last 15 years of his life building Extreme. In 1998 Al realized that mainstream media was ignoring a massive part of youth culture, and from this realisation launched The Extreme Sports Channel into over 60 countries and millions of homes. In 2008 Al acquired the EXTREME brand outright and transformed the company into a pioneering licensor that works with licensees to deliver Extreme branded products, services and experiences including Extreme Hotels and resorts. Currently seven Extreme hotels are in the pipeline including three under construction, with Sochi's 209-bedroom hotel due to be the first to open.
