Put up a massive post on the Heat site of our trip to Japan.  Hope you enjoy the pics.

Also before I go I want to give a big thanks to everyone that came with us on the trip, I know Azikiwee worked his ass off for the trip, and spent just about every dime he had in the bank for all of us to go over there so many thanks go to Azikiwee, and many thanks to the guys for busting their asses while we were over.  Also thanks to the gal and guys at Empire, and D-structure for holding down the fort while we were away, I had a blast, and will never forget this trip.  

Much Love

We got into Osaka somewhat late last night and then were shuttle to Jaspa in Kobe ruoughly about 20 minutes away driving.At Jaspa we spend the day relaxing in preperation for the contest and demo tomorrow....we wondered around checked out the sights ate at some of the local shops, came back skated somemore and then had to duck out from the rain...click on the photo for some more pics of our day off hope you enjoy.

Today I went out to Concord to meet up with Black Mike, Sneaky, Jon Morciglio, Erick Garcia, chris Fox and a bunch of other guys. I got a few photos for you guys covering some of the stunts that went down.

Kirk Chaing From Redwood City laced this big gap to rail then gaped into the street. The gap to the street was about 10 feet.

Chris Fox did this gap to Ao Unity with ease.

Jon Morciglio can do Top Torque Souls for days.

Jon finished out the day with a clean back backslide.

So we got up early headed out for breakfast at a incredible Ramen house.They gave you your first bowl for 500 yen and your second and any other following helping of noodles after that for 100 yen but dont drink to much of your borth cause thats all you get,,,but yeah the spot was by far one of the best places we've eaten from there we headed out to several local skate spots in Okayama...after the day was done we jumped on a bullet train to Jaspa in Kobe..click on the to go to flickr and check out more!!

We got up early in osaka but couldnt get out of town very fast on of our guys had lost their Rail pass.

So we came up with the mob mantality move. We would just all go at the desk and show our pass in the guys face and our one passless member would walk through with out even being seen.(it works great)

Soichiro told us about these great spots in Kobe! So we all loaded up on train after train to get us there.

Getting on and off  5 trains is kinda a pain in the arss but we found a way to have a great time in between!

Everyone was hot this day but the trains are cooler that it is outside so we were all good! 

First spot wasn\t even 30 feet away from the train station !!!!!! Morris called it and the session broke out from there.

Vinny doing his tthing setting up the angle for our first spot in Kobe // Lots of folks waled by and stared but this kid wouldnt leave he  was amazed by what he saw!!!!

Getting a Late start // Sorry goes out to Kentaro for the tardieness //

Here wa are picking up our Rail passes  that we paid for in the US.

I am glad we had this all sorted as you can see it was kinda a mess All in all they were worth every cent to me ?

(Special thanks to Shoko at Niko Niko Travel)

Riding the Train is really fast and cool.we should have more High Speed Trains in the states for real!

Morris finds out the hard way how the phones don't work // Money lost in Translation!!!! calling Home !

 People look at us like we are Going to Blow up the Train station! 

Finally got to the right place an hour or so late. Tricky trains are to late starts  as Japan is to ________?

The guys meeting us and doing the intro's
