Episode 93: Ryan Goldberg of Shadow Six Racing

In this episode of The SXS Guys Offroad Podcast, we finally get a chance to talk with Ryan Goldberg from Shadow Six Racing. You may not know who Ryan is, but you have for sure seen his one of a kind Typhoon AUV (Aquatic Utility Vehicle) that looks like a Polaris RZR riding atop two jet-skis! We dive into who Ryan is, what made him want to build such a unique vehicle, and all of the engineering challenges involved in creating such a uniquely offroad experience on that water!
