The Thailand Fiasco.

Just kidding..... but really though.

When you order from Thailand the following things always happen.

-You pay way too much for shipping

-You wait at least a month for your part

-Anything rubber, in my experience, doesn't last long

-Metal parts aren't as thick/sturdy

Some of the cut-outs for the internal wiring and internal throttle need cleaned up.

The bars overall seem really light......

 A little love from Japan

Thanks Yuto and Masako!

Explosions. Japan. 2007. Skateboarding.

音楽を聞きながら写真を見て下さい。

僕のブログの見に来た人が今日１００，０００に越えました。

これからもバイク、スケボー、模様の生活などのアドベンチャーの写真と話をアップするのを頑張りま〜す。

 Road Trip.

Secret Spots.

Good friends.

 It's been a long time.

 Masaru always behind the wheel.

 So full of youthful energy.

Japan. 2006. ?.

I found 3 roles on cd of 110 photos from Japan while I was in the basement the other day.

You could think of it as a miniature version of medium format I guess.
Toy camera.

This is the first one.

The CD is labeled 2006.

Memories.

I randomly started talking to an old woman next to the skatepark one day.

 She said her dog loved skateboards so she took him here a lot.

 Random street setup.

 Timmy!

 Chillin' in Kuramo's bug.

 Kuramo's arm.

 The old road bike I used to keep there.

 I used to ride the bike 15 miles one way to skate this park in 90 degree weather a few times a week.

In Tokyo traffic.

Sometimes I would barely make it home.

Learned backtails and smith grinds here.

That prefab 5 was so fun...

 Nice hair.....

 More of TJ.

 Yuto.

 2 summers before I started teaching?

 Lambo.

I miss Tokyo.

I miss it a lot.
