Wakeskate Demo at the X Games | Shop Talk Ep. 5 w/ Johnny D, T.J.Giesey, and Jake Ramsdell

We start off the 5th installment of Shop Talk with the Mount Rushmore of "Worst things that can happen to you on the boat". After that were touching on wakeskating making an appearance at the X Games, who is the best wake photographer, life jacket requirements, optimal cable speed, winch kickers, Wake The City, RGR, a question from Sam De Haan on our thoughts on "grabbing a rail" while riding, Don Pedro, and Violet. We end this episode with all of our gnarliest winching stories, with T.J. having a wild one from winching at a spot in South Florida.
