More Matt Rodriguez

I got more Matt`s pics!!
He came to the Ichigao DIY skatepark the other day!!!
I was so excited to skate with him.
He was shredding the spot!!!

The sound of wave meets the sound of music

I went to Matt Rodriguez`s live performance at Enoshima.
There were Matt and the band playing the music.
It was raining for little bit before the live, but as soon as their music started, thick cloud went away.
Their music was fucking amazing!!!!
I was just listening to their music for whole time and took some photos.
Here are some photos I took today.
Check `em out!!!!

Matt Rodriguez

He is one of my favorite skaters of all time.
His skating is amzing of course, but his music is also incrediblly good!!
He is going to do live performance at Enoshima next Monday!!!
I can't wait to see him playing music!!!!



He plays the music by himself on this video part.
If you've never listened to his music, search "Blktop Project" on the web.
Blktop Project is the band consisting of Matt Rodriguez, Ray Barbee, and Tommy Guerrero.
Just go get the CDs and be amazed!!

What's going on in the rainy day under the bridge??!!

Last Sunday, there was a contest at Ichigao D.I.Y skatepark.
This contest was held by 5Nuts skateshop collaborating with Gou Miyagi's Robot Project.
Even though it was raining, we didn't really care about it and were just hitting those obstacles under the bridge!
There was also DJ playing some sick music!!
We all had really fun!!
Kids, who won the contest, were stoked for the prizes they got!!!

キセル

いいです！
今日葉山の海の家でライブを見て、思わず聞き入ってしまいました！！

This is some good Japanese music.

Creativity

I think that all skaters have some kind of creative mind comparing to ordinary people.
We, skaters, simply go out on the streets and can look at them in different ways.
But, what the fxxk??!!
This guy, Gou Miyagi a.k.a Dorapon, skates some gnarly spots in Japan.
I don't understand how his brain works.
You all bastards who think you are creative, watch this footy on youtube!!!!



This video is from Takahiro Morita's film "Overground Broadcating."
I saw half of the film and became speechless.

5Nuts

This is the skate shop that I go often when I'm in Japan.

One of the best skate shops in Japan for sure!!

It looks small outside but there are some serious things inside!!!

Hisashi Nakamura, who had a part in Skate Archives, is the owner of this skate shop.

Kids hanging out here are all crazy and good skaters.

Funniest thing about this skate shop is that some random shits always happen in here.
