On Mauritius, Sebastian Grubinger finds a sliver of concrete to have a session (most of the roads and parking lots are gravel).
Here's a recap of his solo session, self-filmed, amongst banana palms and bird calls, in a tropical Island Nation in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
"The main purpose of the trip was to get out to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for the 8th annual Brett Craig memorial jam put on by Doug’s Spoke N Sport.

Southern Hospitality. I had hung out with Seamus Mckeon once when he and Logan (Derberry) visited Andrew in LA; but I didn't think I knew him well enough that he and his family would let Andrew and I stay at his house the night before his knee surgery. As our Lyft pulled up to the house at 3 AM, we opened the door to the house and hoped that we were not greeted by a barrel of a gun. Fortunately the picture of a teenage Seamus on a BMX bike signalled we were in the right house as we proceeded to wander through the dark house to our rooms while trying not to feel like we broke in.
