    So this is Mikkel Bang’s first time ever to China and this kid was stoked to go before I even called him up to plan out the trip. So we ended up flying two full days before everyone else planned to arrive, to not only do some killer sightseeing, but also to get acclimated from the heavy jetlag of flying from Norway! Mikkel put it best, “I don’t wanna be sleepy when I’m hitting a massive Air + Style kicker…”
