Layover in Johannesburg

For most of us, it takes nearly 40 hours to get here with a layover in Johannesburg before a prop plane takes you to Kimberley. These happy cooks were serving up some bangin' BBQ at our Johannesburg stop.

Evan Smith Warms up on the Vert Ramp

I found Evan Smith warming up on the vert ramp. He's a six figure contender for sure.
