EPISODE 350: COLBY STEVENSON

While Colby Stevenson won’t be remembered for the car accident that broke his skull into over 40 pieces, it sure had an impact in steering his life from middle-of-the-pack pro athlete to absolute dominance. In part one of Colby’s podcast, we talk about growing up in the shadows of Wallisch and Hall, forerunning the X Games at 8, the confidence and cockiness that comes with early success, and his life-changing accident. Olympic Gold Medalist Joss Christensen asks the Inappropriate Questions.
