Episode 102 | Jamie Huser

Jamie just slid over 140m on his wakeboard to smash a world record, and while that is impressive, it was a much easier trick than he initially wanted to do. We dive deep into what it takes to put together a big Red Bull production like this, and how plans have to change when you can’t legally do what you initially wanted to. Few riders have battled as many injuries as young as Jamie has, and that hasn’t seemed to slow him down much, because when he’s on the water he’s a weapon. Longest grind, moving to America, winning his first PWT stop, Shootouts, getting surprised with a Red Bull helmet, the World Wakeboard Center, dum dum 5’s, and a laundry list of injuries. Hear all this and more in Episode 102 of the Grab Matters Podcast with Jamie Huser!
