Way of the Wildcard tells the story of unexpected athletes succeeding in the most unlikely circumstances.
► Watch Episode 2 The Barefoot Biker here: • The Barefoot Mountain ...
►Take a look into the lives and childhoods of pro athletes on Red Bull TV: www.redbull.com/int-en/shows/...
Grown up on the banks of the White Nile, Sadat Kawawa quickly fell in love with Kayaking - a sport rarely pursued by his fellow compatriots. Swapping various services in exchange for Kayaking lessons from tourists, Sadat quickly realises his potential on the water. Going from strength to strength, it isn’t long before Sadat qualifies to test himself against world’s best when they come to compete in his home country of Uganda.

Congratulations to all these kayakers. True sportsmen. Breath.taking video. Well done Sadat. You make your people and country proud. Well done RedBull for seeing the need to sponsor these people who are not only the best in their field in a dangerous sport, but respectful of the environment. We need much more of this. I dollow Nouria, also sponsored by you.

Red Bull -- sick movie but bummed you didn't touch on the threats to all of the whitewater shown in this video. All of these rapids and waves shown will be underwater very soon as the dam downstream is completed.

Fantastic! Sadat you are awesome! . But what I don't understand is why are they using playboats in the race runs? The bigger boats (river runners) surly are faster and would punch the holes and waves easier.

He shouldn't have tried to ferry onto the wave, but did what Dane's dad (Eric Jackson) says to do: pull yourself onto the wave with a draw stroke. It works.
