Episode 68: Russell Porter w/ Buggy Whip - a podcast by The SXS Guys
from 2022-01-21T05:40:10
In this episode of The SXS Guys Offroad Podcast, we talk with the always handsome Russell Porter from Buggy Whip! We last talked with Russ on the podcast in Episode 50 at UTV Takeover back in 2020. We check in with him and talk about what sets their whips apart from the rest. This isn't a sales pitch, it's the passion that drives Russell and his entire company at Buggy Whips. We talk about Grandpa Porter, the fact that they are 50+ years into making whips, the safety factor of why you need a high-quality whip that you can rely on, and why safety as a mindset is so important. There's so much to unpack in this episode, we hope you get to listen or watch the whole thing!
