I was lucky enough to get to hang out and ride with some of the best riders in japan and coolest dudes. Toku, Nasty, and Marco kill it on bikes. These are a few photos I took of them riding at this Warp Magazine shoot. I Also took a ton of video but thats all going to be in the '290ed' video hopefully out by end of summer. Thanks so much to the whole W-Base crew for showing me such a good time. Ill see you guys again soon and if you ever want to come to Hawaii give me a shout.

Lindseys bike was stolen! It really sucks but bike theft is on the rise in Hawaii. Were in the middle of finishing the Aloha Fixed video '290ed' and now Lindsey has no bike. Someone out there needs to hook this guy up proper. I bought him his last bike but honestly I cant afford to buy him another at this time. If you're looking for a sick rider and over all good person for your team shoot me a email and Ill put you in touch with Mr. Bode.

So its my second day in Tokyo. I cant stress enough how much i love this place. I met up with my friend from Hawaii Koyata and went down to W-base. We then went out with everyone to the London to Paris premiere at the Ginza Apple store. There were so many bikes and people there, we had a little party on the sidewalk after drinking beer and bullshitting til the shop closed. Then a smaller group of us went out for dinner and drinks. I think its safe to say we all got wasted. Good seeing past friends and meeting new ones.
