Waterfalls and World Records on the new InBetween Swims!


Don't believe the hype! Don't believe the hate!

In this special episode of InBetween Swims:The Whitewater Podcast, I speak with Team Leader Ben Stookesberry about Pedro Oliva's World Record run of the 128ft Salto Belo on the Rio Sacre in Brazil.

Ben speaks to the mechanics of running a 100+ footer, the controversy surrounding Pedro's landing, and the place that dropping big waterfalls has in the sport.
