For Jesse Richman, chasing the thrill isn’t a choice—it’s who he is. Whether it’s dropping everything for an adventure or pushing limits just to see what’s possible, his addictive nature has always fueled his passion. That fire turned into a full-blown obsession with riding Jaws—a dream that came with a heavy price. From brutal wipeouts to intense mental crashes, Jesse had to choose: walk away or turn the chaos into something sustainable. Now, what was once a reckless addiction is a refined lifestyle—built on training, planning, and purpose. His story is proof that our flaws can become our fuel—if we learn how to harness them.
