Filming a video part right before you go into battle at the Red Bull Circle of Balance is a great way to push your level up. Varo goes up a few gears in this Part 1 Puro part, can’t wait to see how this series unfolds.

The One Love Jam is almost a month away, Newport Beach, Southern California is the place to be. From sunrise till sunset, get down to the One Love Jam if you can.
You can’t beat the Cali sunshine in January, widely regarded as the best jam in the world.
