Brian put in lots of time talking with the troops, and put a lot into his riding during the demos with lots of street moves mixed into the shows wherever possible. During downtime he could be found riding bunkers and finding various spots on the different bases—BK definitely made the most of his time in Kuwait and Iraq, and will be doing it all over again on B.O.B. III…Below is just a snippet from the web interview, but to find the whole thing head over and check out our friends at TransWorld RideBMX. 

RideBMX: Your dad was in the military, did that factor into you wanting to go on these tours? Why did you want to be a part of B.O.B.?

BK: 
The fact that my dad was in the military did make me curious as to what military life is really like. My dad had served in both Iraq wars, but was never deployed to Iraq. He was always stationed elsewhere. He has always mentioned how he wanted to go to Iraq to help the cause and experience what it’s like over there. When I was invited on the [first] trip I immediately said yes for both my curiosity and my father’s curiosity.
