Team Japan (Kota and Taka), Team Landlord (Faisst, Twitch and Lusk) and Team Roomate (Potter and me)

I just got home from a week long road trip to San Jose CA. I went with Potter, Lusk, Faisst, Taka, Kota, and Twitch to film for his new video. We built all kinds of cool jumps at a rock quarry up there…Check Tedescophoto.com for pictures and look for Twitch’s new Video coming out this Fall..

Tampa, Florida

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

Last weekend I flew out to Tampa, Florida for another Boost Mobile Night Shift Demo. There was about 20,000 people that showed up to see the cars, rap concert, bikini contest and our freestyle show.

There was a 20 MPH crosswind all day and we thought it might let up by the night time, but no, the storm was rolling in and there was nothing we could do about it. We got on our bikes anyways and put on a show. Its hard doing a lot of the standard tricks in the wind but we were able to pull off some whips and back flips for all the fans that came out…Check Freestylemx.com for more…
