German Wheel
Clip: Season 5 Episode 5 | 4m 51sVideo has Closed Captions
German Wheel is a niche sport and yet both U.S. National Champions are from Madison.
Just over a decade ago, a niche sport rolled into Madison. In Europe and specifically Germany, it has become a national phenomenon. Here in the United States, not so much. However, two Wisconsin athletes are changing that perception. The German Wheel can best be described as a giant hamster wheel. Discover how Jeremy Perkins and Carly Schuna are helping to make Madison a mecca for German Wheel.
