off we go

i leave tomarrow for a near 400 mile ride from new orleans to pasadena. it should be fun hopefully we don't get heat exhaustion and die. only going to be two of us so we have to watch out for eachother in a bromanse kinda way. it'll be mildly rough but most likely not that bad. we got a tent....... creepy.

alright see you houston heads on the second for a day then i'll be back in austin.

tokyo to osaka to tokyo

good friend Mick Weldon has been in japan riding his bike with some other good folks. the ride went from tokyo to osaka and back. something like 380 miles in monsoon season.

2nd trailer and write up

This video was not what i set out for 4 years ago and after the first year I really didn't even think i was gong to make it at all. i just kept filming here and there with my friends. over these years i stopped going to contesets and wouldn't skate for months at a time. i'm not going to get into the "why's" of it all but it's just what happened. anyways in the end it actually took just over 3 years to get it filme. most the video was edited while i was still filming and it kinda made for an odd feel. in the end it was... 3 years wasted and not in the "we're super cool cause we drink alot" kinda way.
