The show opens with Mike skating at one of the local skate spots, an oceanfront wooden boardwalk. From there, he visits the Irie One Skate Shop to meet with local skater Paul Wilson. Mike joins Paul and some of the local crew for a session on their mini ramp. Paul has taken it upon himself to create a scene in Barbados by bringing the island's skaters together. In his efforts to push skateboarding and introduce more of the local people to skateboarding, Paul has established an island skate tour in which he takes all the skaters around the island to session different spots. Mike joins Paul on the tour and goes with the kids on the bus to check out what the island offers. Mike is blown away by the local's friendly attitude and camaraderie regardless of their varying abilities. Mike's time in Barbados ends with him helping Paul and some locals load some portable ramps onto a flatbed truck and unload them in a car park to skate a sort of mobile skate park. In talking with Paul and seeing everything he is doing for the skate scene in Barbados, Mike concludes that they now have the proper foundation to build a legitimate scene that will benefit skaters for future generations.
