Yesterday I started riding solo and as the day progressed, riders came through one by one. By the end of the day we had an Unexpected visitor....Alex Jumelin!
Alex was on his way back to L.A. from Vegas and stopped by the lot. We had a quick session before heading out to eat dinner.
So, I'm at riding Studio City and decide to text yo' boy, Ben Q., to see if he wants to ride. He writes back, "I'm about to go on stage." "On stage?!...." I reply. "Yeah, at Universal City Walk, 7pm."
City walk is across the freeway from the Studio City Parkinglot. So I rushed over to check it out!
Ben is in a band called "Project Dirty" and he creates the beats...
Ben Q. is a pro snowboarder.
Ben Q. is a skateboarder.
Ben Q. is a flatlander.
Ben Q. is a father to a cowboy and Karate kid with nun-chucks!
So I went to Jomo Pro. I had a connecting flight in Dallas. Joplin is kind of in the middle of nowhere so we had to fly in this propeller plane from Dallas to Joplin.
Look who was on the plane with me! Moto Sasaki and Takahiro Ikeda!
Eric Wright and his girl(not pictured)!
Todd Carter got Second in Expert Class. Congrats Todd!
This just in from Lalo Jimenez! The jam is being thrown in honor of all the poor SoCal riders who can't make it to JoMoPro this year. It will be held this Saturday (9th) at Ryan Russel's house starting at about 1 and going on until dark. There will be a BBQ as well. Contact number is my cell (909) 560-5359.. Directions will have to be given over the phone or by text because they don't want to post their address online.
