BB can't wait for the Metro jam to start but he's panicking that he has to ride that course with all these good riders. Maybe he should bring the surf board too, just in case.

How many Metro Jams have you visited prior to the Singapore one?
BB: I think it’s my 4th time at a Metro befor this one

What are you expecting of the trip?
BB: To ride some trails there, visit a crazy place, eat local food.

Being in a different part of the world together with fellow riders does that automatically mean good times?
BB: Of course but most of the time riders are always go practicing riding, go party a little, and that's it, hope some of them would like to visit.

What do you think of the drawings of the street course?
BB: Looks good, lots of speed, good jump box, a good mix of street and park.

Did you work on some new tricks over the winter that you want to do at the Metro Jam?
BB: New tricks? If they have some waves on the street course yeah, I practiced this winter..... I’ll just try to not fall a lot, because riding with all those crazy dudes makes me scared and usually I crash on small tricks, and I really didn’t ride on a park course since the last Metro, that means a couple of runs, just trail riding the last couple of weeks.

Your pick for the win?
BB: Gary Young is da man. Hope he’ll surprise us like every time.
