With 10 guys in the lobby of the Phoenix hotel working (or playing poker) on their laptops, Josh Harrington discovered the mail I sent him three weeks ago and decided to fill it in on the spot. I'll take a photo of his Premium bike tomorrow and add it to this post.

How many Metro Jams have you visited prior to the Singapore one?
Josh: 5

What are you expecting of the trip?
Josh: Good times. Amazing sites! Nice tan from the beach.

Being in a different part of the world together with fellow riders does that automatically mean good times?
Josh: As long as no one gets hurt yes. Hanging with BMXers all over the world is the sweetest. I love just chillin around the hotel, checking out the sites, and riding bikes with all the rad people I have met over the years through BMX!

What do you think of the drawings of the street course?
Josh: I'm pretty stoked on the course. There is a really good variety of ramps/ street style pieces to the course. Should be interesting because there are so many amazing riders here.

Did you work on some new tricks over the winter that you want to do at the Metro Jam?
Josh: Haven't really been working on anything for Metro specifically, but have been filming a lot and there are some things that I really wanna attempt on the course.

Your pick for the win?
Josh: Morgan Wade
