i had to drop off my Triumph in Wilmington before 8pm otherwise i would have been disqualified for the race. wahh such a sketchy situation. i'm shipping my bike all the way from France and i may miss the event. after lots of phone talk we finally drove to the airport with Phil Toselli. after long wait we finally had the bike and left the airport at 7.23pm. got there at 7.54, but i still needed to uncrate the bike and also put it back on wheels. as i was the very last racer to register, i was very welcome and everybody was stoked. such a good moment. i spotted Kyio's Cub and Yoshi's Yamaha, and a beautiful 40's HD hillclimber.

BONES BRIGADE

After Garage Company, Le Admiral and i went to coolest man ever Steve Zeitzoff's, and ran into Atiba Jefferson who was just coming back from a day with all the OG Bones Brigade members. Stacy Peralta, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Mike Mc Gill, Tony Hawk, Tommy Guerrero, Rodney Mullen.

he was so stoked. 30mn later we ended up joining Tony Hawk for a drink before Zeitzoff and Atiba decided it was time for a ride to the Jumbo's, i couldn't miss this shot of Birdman and Atiba in the 66 beetle.

Classic.

Kiyo 's Cub

i stopped by Garage Company yesterday eve, Yoshi & Kyio where working on finishing their bikes for Catalina. and i was so stoked when i saw what they'll be riding !
my man Pommier talked to me about Kyio's Tiger Cub, but let me tell you this is one of the sweetest bike
i've ever seen and for sure my favorite Cub of all time.
u'll get some more images lil later.

I'M BACK

i'm finally back bloggin. got to apologise ty'all, for those 5 months mute.

i think i had too much to say, too much to show you, and as i was very busy working

i kinda lost the rythm. i wanted to start from the last post, but so many things happened, 

met so many cool people, been on some very cool jobs....

so i won't start straight from where i left you guys 5 months ago somewhere in the Lower East Side.

but i'll make sure to offer you some flashbacks sometimes.

i just landed yesterday in LA with Le Admiral. and we're up to live some new adventures.

stay tuned

AKO x JOE

while walking in the streets, we saw this painting of Joe Strummer made by Niagara. to be honest it looks more like Arnie in T2 than the real Joe Strummer, but it's still a very nice mural. and Ako Jefferson loves so much Mr Strummer, i hadda take his photograph.

L.E.S PARTY TIME

Tom Cooke were the last to make it to the Big Apple. quick check-in at 1am and we all walked 2 streets further to enjoy some party time and fresh beers at MaxFish. Atiba couldn't be with us as he had to stay in LA for the NBA finals, but it was great to meet up with the crew and share some good stories. we pushed the good time to the dawn. after the rain, the sun was wakin-up in a clearer and colorful yet sky.

Tom Cooke Bitch !

Phil Tosseli, the tasty OTW art director

i ran into Euro pro skater Mickael Mackrodt while i was there. i haven't seen him since last time i shot photos of him for an Element skateboards catalog 3 years ago. was definitly cool to share a booze with him and his cute photographer friend.

Eric Elms and Tom Cooke enjoying some New York style slices

Steve Zeitzoff is a one of a kind dude, as hilarious as talented

JEROME DREYFUSS NYC

i took advantage of the morning to stop by Talented designer Jerome Dreyfuss new boutique in Chinatown. the whole space is amazing, and i was stoked to see my photos from last winter campaign all over the place. had a cool chat with Yves, the smiley manager and left the place quite happy.

Mr CAB DRIVER

i usually complain about Cabdrivers driving skills, but this guy was different, he raced his yellowcab, barely drifting it...what a good way to welcome us in NYC.

Jerome Mage just got his 1970 Ford Mach1 fully rebuilt just on time for the March-LA.B fall 2010 campaign photoshoot in LA. on our way to first location, The Mage showed some serious skills.  gnarly ride on the Hills, this man knows how to handle this kinda beast for real men.

MX FAN

a year ago at Thunder Valley National MX, Colorado, i was supposed to shoot action photos, but spent more time takin photographs of the crowd, and when i saw this dude, i couldn't believe it. he said" next ones are ONEindustries, Hart & Huntington, Makita, Racer X, Fox racing " !!!! sure this man is dedicated to MX.
