I Just got back from a fun and exciting trip to Puerto Rico. I went there with some friends to do a dirt jump demo at this bike festival put on by Medalla Light. The last time I went to Puerto Rico, it was insanely hot and humid, so I was stoked that the weather was cool when I got off the plane. I went there with my friends Tyler McCaul, Alex Reveles, and Andrew Taylor, so it was more like a vacation. We got picked up by my friend, Pedro, who lives in San Juan and has a bunch of cool jumps and a foam pit. After showing us around town and checking out the night life of San Juan, we rode at Pedro’s house for a bit and practiced some tricks in the foam pit for the demo.

We then drove 3 hours to the other side of the island to a town called Rincon where the festival was held. We were immediately greeted by the locals with some beer and a super fun night life. What else would you expect from a festival that is put on by a beer company? The next day we spent some time at the beach and checked out the town before practicing on the demo jumps. The jumps were fun, but it was just a straight 6 pack, so we didn’t really need to practice much before throwing down some sweet maneuvers! The next day was the demo, and the weather turned to be really hot, humid and windy. That didn’t stop us from putting on a great show. The crowd was pumped to see us jump through the set. The second demo was a bit better because the wind died down and everyone pulled out impressive tricks. After completing the demo and signing some autographs, we enjoyed the festival and the after party that followed. The next day we chilled on the beach for a bit before heading back to San Juan to catch a flight back home. The demo was cool, it was a pretty sweet deal to hang & ride with 3 of my friends. Puerto Rico was a super fun place!

I am definitely going back for a real vacation sometime.
