The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast

Benjamin Alexander has only spent four months of his life on Jamaican soil, and yet he’s now representing his father’s birthplace in this week’s Winter Olympic Games. Yes, a Jamaican skier, it’s like “Cool Runnings” on snow, and Benji’s story is an amazing one. While he was a troublemaker of a working-class kid, Benji was smart and always had huge goals: finish university, move to Asia, become a DJ that traveled the world, and eventually, go to the Olympics. It’s a wild story that takes Benji from England to Hong Kong to DJing sex parties, and the happy ending will be found this week during the Beijing Olympics.  Benjamin Alexander Show Notes: 3:30:  Prepping for the Olympics, sponsors, the coverage he is getting, and racism in England 9:00:  Growing up in England, being a troublemaker, and earning a scholarship to private school 13:00:  Becoming a DJ, focusing on university, moving to Asia, modeling, and becoming a DJ again 20:00:  Stanley:   Get 30% off sitewide with the code drinkfast Peter Glenn Ski and S
