Summary

A rider jumped over the fountain, a rider jumped over the fountain, a rider jumped over the fountain...to gap 70 feet. So this past year JD Webb went down in the record books as a wakeboarder to land the largest ramp-to-ramp gap ever at 70 feet, and he did it in front of National TV. Discovery’s show "Stunt Junkies" featured a 30-minute show on this history in the making. It was cool but this kid is all around... he freerides like no other, rail rides with composure and has become one of the most recognized faces in wakeboarding because of his generous personality. He has a huge future still ahead of him and has already accomplished more than most in this industry.
