Speed skiing and snowboarding takes balls— big ones and Jamie Barrow might have the biggest of them all after breaking his own speed record at Vars, France on March 26th, when he went 152km/hr.
Barrow, who hails from England, traveled to the traditional speed record setting venue with no other motivation than to go fast and be better than he had been in years past. In 2013, the English snowboarder set the initial world record when he successfully sent it 151 km/hr.
However, that record was meant to be broken– by the same guy.
So this year, at the ripe age of 23, Barrow went to Vars and broke the previous record by 1 km/hr!
Cheers Jamie!
