Jamie O’Brien knows a thing or eight about getting barreled. This is especially the case on his backside, as the man’s become synonymous with tucking into bombs at Pipe. However, doing and teaching are not the same, and J.O.B. admittedly has never been put in a position to articulate and teach just how he does it all.
Until now. We wouldn’t exactly argue a tutorial from O’Brien is going to have you ready for pig-dogging and butt dragging your way out of overhead drainers tomorrow. Growing comfortable with riding barrels on your backside can be like learning to surf all over again, but if you’re going to take a lesson this is probably one of the best guys on the planet to get one from.
So here’s Jamie O’Brien breaking down some of the finer points of backside tube riding. He has some interesting little insights and of course, it’s J.O.B. so it’s an entertaining watch.
