EPISODE 151: SAMMY LUEBKE
/Sammy Luebke was a derelict child prodigy from Alaska who took the snowboard world by storm at a young age. At 9, he was getting his first video clips, at 15, he was featured in Snowboarder Magazine, he learned from the best filming with Brain Farm, and then he got hurt. When that happened, Sammy’s world changed. He lost his first sponsor, had his first kid, and got married in his early 20’s. With an uncertain future, Sammy hit the Freeride World Tour and proved that the first part of his career was no fluke. This 3X FWT World Champion has gone through more than most snowboarders on his way to success.
