• The Hidden Freeride Jetski Community in the Midwest - #54
    Nov 11 2024

    Skylar comes on to tell us about the world of free ride jet skiing within the Midwest. After college he needed an alternative to Snowmobiling and discovered a world where people take custom standing jetskis out on Lake Michigan to hit the waves. This journey has led him and a buddy to make a pact and ride at least once every month of the year. With improving technology and wet suits we talk about this small community and some of the events free riders participate in around the United States. This was a very fun episode about jet skiing that I didn't know existed in my own home state!

    Meaghan Hackinen, is a Kelowna-based ultra-cyclist, bikepacker, and writer whose two-wheeled adventures have taken her from Haida Gwaii to Mexico’s high plateaus, across Canada and the United States, and from North Cape to Tarifa along some of Europe’s highest paved roads.
