The Florida-based wakeskaters is one of Red Bull’s talent, based on his profile on Red Bull, he was born on July 31, 1980. He successfully performed various tricks on different sites in the world such as the Las Vegas Casino, the swamps and bayous of Louisiana, and his popular execution of a frontside 180 in Washington, D.C.
The 33-year-old Brian Grubb’s visit in the Philippines particularly the Banaue Rice Terraces proved to be a real challenge for him and his entire team. Grubb admitted that he visited the Philippines seven times.
During an interview with Red Bull, he was quoted as saying that, “This was my seventh trip to the Philippines, and my biggest project ever! Since I first saw the drawing of these huge rice terraces on the back of the 1000 Peso bill, the idea of having a session there wouldn’t let me go. It was only a drawing but it looked like a perfect winch spot and probably a super scenic location. And it was! The whole project was a real adventure for us and the team. It is still incredible that we were wakeskating at such a fascinating place!” Grubb stated.
The spot of Grubb and Preisner covered four pools with a total length of 80 meters, to keep the scenery’s natural look, the setup was kept as simple as possible. The only man-made obstacles is a wooden log slider and the custom winch setup.
