Derek is leaving for a Props/shitluck trip, and I am leaving Japan for home. Derek wears wigs, and the fashion in Tokyo is almost as strange. I ran into Karl Brutsart From Ithaca in Tokyo, which was fun, and I also Saw Shoe G and Rode the Amazing Skatepark, until a crazy rainstorm came through. It was so hot and humid prior, my skin felt like it was burning. The Park was fun, riding with Shitoshi, Kenji, Kizou and the locals. 3 kids had Deployers, so Derek is stoked. Derek Girard is Famous in Japan.

Aaron also had the Mic on hand as a TV personality in Vancouver so look out Rick Thorne. In other news, Dave King is awesome. Seriously. Not much news to report, as soon as I unplug my computer, I’m off to Japan, to hang out with the fine folks at Motocross Int. who sell FBM over there. Should be fun, and hopefully I won’t get in too much trouble. Take care, I’ll post news from the road if I get a chance….
