She Explores Emily Jackson - Voices from the GoPro Mountain Games, Episode 3
Emily Jackson is a professional kayaker and a mother of two. Kayaking is in her blood—her dad, Eric Jackson, is a World Champion freestyle kayaker and more often than not, you can find Emily on the water. Emily’s been competing at the Mountain Games for years, and this year she won all three of her events—a first for her.
Just as community and competition are a big part of the Mountain Games, so is family. Emily and Gabaccia Moreno talk kayaking, legacy, family support, and making time for it all.
