What's your best Simple Session memory?
Ben Wallace: 2010 when I placed 3rd alongside Brett Banasiewicz in 2nd and Drew Bezanson 1st and it was also the first time I done a 360 lookback to down whip in competition and it was also the first time it was ever done so I was pretty stoked on that and it's a good memory to have and another one to go down in the history books.
