Ben Snowden, Martti Kuoppa and I had one of the best opportunities to take a trip to Trinidad and Tobago in the Port of Spain to help introduce BMX freestyle to the kids over there. The trip began with our first flight landing in Miami before we headed over seas. Let me say this, there is no better place to stop on a layover. We went to Mike Spinner's house where Mike set up a party for us and Austin Coleman. Austin and Ben decided to pull pranks on their bikes during the party.... but that's a whole other story.
