VANS demo.

Hello  every one.

I just got back  from Japan last tuesday with some of the guys from the vans team,(Bucky Lasek, Omar Hussan, Josh Boarden were the Skaters, and Scotty Cramner, Ryan Guettler,Colin Mackay , Michael Steingrabber and me  the bmx/flatland.) we went to do a demo  at the Atsugi naval air facility, JAPAN (military base).

We spend 7 day over all,  3 days on  the base  doing some little shows for the kids a two different elementary schools and one big demo  on saturday, and 3 other days touring around Tokyo.

During those 3 days  we got to see all the differents hangars full of planes and helicopters that they had for the war, and  we got on board of an aircraft carrier (George Washington) one of the biggest!, it was really awesome, such a blessing being able to see all that,  i took a lot’s of pictures.

on that 3 day at the base we did the big demo, on some ramps that Nate  wessel and ryan corrigan built. Sick box jump, with one quarter pipe on each side, one to get speed and one to stop.

Soon as we were done we head out  from the base straight in to Tokyo down town, as a first impression  it was amazing, not to crowded , but after walking one block we saw people all over the place, the hole city was really clean and dialed, really nice culture and the people very fashioned  even more than new york.

We spend that hole time touring around and trying different  restaurants, we went out  to buy souvenirs to the craziest stores, you could find anything you want,electronics, ton’s of toy’s all over the place.

 we went to this old temple, that was a big market for tourist people, we even got to se a show of a monkey walking on his hands and jumping some really sick gaps hahah. CRAZY STUFF!

 i hope you guys like the photos.

 

 Here is the gallery 2.

Miller motorsports park

Here i have some photos i got when  on  september 08.

 The skateboarder Bucky lasek invited me  to spend 3 days at this amazying race track, while
hi was filming for a Mtv show.

so we got to enjoy 3 days of driving  full on race cars (mustang’s GT) like crazy, it was a blessing.

We not only drove but   we got  some really good lessons  of  how to drive, take corners, how to balance the weight of the car  on different  situations, take the perfect corners, we got see a ford museum.

it was really sick  and i am really in to cars  so i was living a dream,  i hope i get to do it again
some time this year. (thanks ricky bucky)

here are some pics, enjoy.

Photo session Goro’s park .

Well,  after warming up  for about two hours,  Ariel finally got the camera on the right set up. So we started shooting  a little late but it wasn’t too bad cause the   sky was awesome!  it  was a little cloudy  wich  made it look rad. we shooted a lots of photos, we were using every single minute to do as many shoots as we could, just to take advantage of the light, for me it was harder to ride, i couldn’t see anything, it was getting  dark quickly. So when i  freaking  tried to do a  table one foot one hand and i missed my hand on the way in! well, after that i hit really hard the ramp with my face and i hit some of  my fingers too. Any way it wasn’t too bad. Thanks GOD nothing bad happened, i guess i’ll take  a few days of. (Here are  some pics).goros-session-22.gif lize.gif                                                            goros-session-news.giflize-2.gif
