ok after much thinking and actual planning, toddapalooza...
will now be friday the 30th of november. seeing as how im supposed to be somewhere else during the actual dates i threw up yesterday. this is an official snowboardmag sanctioned event, which means there will be an intern there with stickers.
so this is how it looks as of this am:
toddapalooza 07
breckenridge colorado
peak 9 beaver run at 10 45 ( or 10 at clints for coffee and shit talking )
we will go to the little jibby jump line and have fun
there will be giveaways and a bull horn
people will laugh and cry
we will have fun

HOLY SHITTTTTTTTT !!!!!!! yesterday was one of the best days of my life so far. the myiasaki wave dome is legit. overhead waves, barrels, racy sections, all over cement bottom in 6 inches of water. i have a bunch of videos and shots that i need to attach to this story. for now , i am still in japan on this sweet trip. i surfed the japan sea and the wave dome with benjii weatherly and kalani robb. skated this fun park with tony hawk. chad bartie and tosh townend and shreded the big air park in fukuoka with jp walker. all and all this has been my best trip to japan yet. baller hotel rooms, days filled with gut wrenching laughter and nights with asahi.

i will be surfing this next week : http://www.surfline.com/mag/pulse/2000/nov/11_8_japan.cfm

my friend is doing a surf movie and it kind of has that whole surf skate snow thing going on. we are going to japan to shred indoors at the fukiyoka ( poor attempt at spelling ) indoor ice chest, surf this death wave, then skate indoors at japans best skate park. should be fun.

the crew:

me
jp walker
tosh townend
chad bartie
the bird man
benjii weatherly
kalani robb
g-love ?

if i dont fracture my dome in the wave pool i will post shots from that piece.

ok so i went to the riders poll last night, for some reason i thought it would be different from the years past. dead wrong. you cant hear shit, no one really cares about whats going on up on the stage including the presenters and the drinks cost as much as a used 86 civic. i gotta say the getting dressed up thing was kind of rad though. i was in a suit, and not at a funeral or some shit ass wedding, that was a bonus. people were looking sharp. there were a few attempts to polish turds both male and female. note to some ladies out there, if your hideous by birth, no ammount of mascara or receding hem line is going to solve mother natures little gift, blame your parents.

just went through security at the reno airport, they took my purell, chapstick, deoderant, and the friggen gell soles from my shoes....BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE MY FREEDOM....unless they ask nicely, im a sucker for please.

probably one of the most useful things that i have ever learned, that and sitting on my hand until it falls asleep and doing a "phantom jack"

louis vito is my team mate, this is bitchin'

drago told me.
