Show Notes
We went full send with a freeride legend and another in the making this week with Cam Zink and surprise guest Chelsea Kimball on the show. Cam talked about what changes, if any, are needed at Rampage, launching world-record backflips, a decade of Rampage, and his motivation for starting businesses. He broke down the art of gambling your shoulder and your bank account in the name of passion. Chelsea gave us the lowdown on the headspace it takes to stare down a Rampage line that looks like a straight-up death wish and say, “Yeah, I’ll send that.”
It’s part therapy session, part crash course in risk addiction, and part masterclass in turning stupidity into purpose. If you’ve ever wanted to know what happens when freeriders are handed a microphone and told to say whatever they want, this episode’s meant for you.
