CHINA, SHENZHEN, SKATEBOARDING!!!

skating in shenzhen is obviously amazing. dubbed the new barcelona. as u can see in all the new hot videos there endless marble spots etc etc etc. but in the end your always on the search for that one spot... that amazing rainbow pole jam that no ones ever skated before.
the bs smith and following photos are from john tanner...john is a legendary man. an amazing skateboarder.
the crooky monster is by barcelona born again gypsy lawrence keffe. a good good hairy ape-man!! it was amazing how much people were tripping on his hairy fleece when the shirt would came of.











china, shenzhen

so we woke up hung over as fuck from the addidas party and had to bomb a 14 hour train from shanghai to shenzhen. and ofcourse i missed on a sleeper bed. so i had to mob sitting class. now mixed in with sitting class on chinese trins is standing class. were an unlimited amount of tickets are sold!!!! it was hell. my buddy stas from russia actually got pissed on by a little baby that was sleep[ing on his table!
ofcourse it is the funnest spot in the world!! i felt sorry for old lawrence... he was getting pitched like a pallez ball!!!
the prehistoric homeboy was the best! he was skating like a monkey. u had to see it to believe it. he then pulled a tigers claw out of a travel sack and a broken watch and began fixin it with a sketchy knife!!











CHINA, SHANGHAI... "IM GOOD! IM ALWAYS GOOD"

first photo. we were at the biggest skatepark in the world. and a typhoon hit! it was so so so gnarly. at the park there is a massive undercover section. and in the end the rain and wind was so gnarly we had to jump down into a sketchy garden but our boards and bags in a bin with trash. triple wrap our camera in our clothes and try not to get blown away. in the end we were dripping wet!
i met this legendary dude named tommy. he is from philly but now lives in shanghai. he was all too cool with letting a bunch of mob his couches for the week. thanks a million tommy!
shanghai was the meet spot. i was there to meet up with my buddy patrik wallner and his 10 soliders. i was meeting up with them for the last leg of there epic trip. they were completing there leg of the transiberian railway. pretty much. there was 10 of them. catching only trains from moscow, russia - china!!! and patrik is making an epic documentary on the whole trip. to check out some amazing photos, stories etc check him out on http://ww,skategypsies.com "visualtraveling"
we did a bunch of skating around. but the rain fucked with us most days. and when we could skate the humidity was insane! the best part was from, spot to spot catching a ride on the back of a motocycle. we had a few epic group dinners. there was a bunch of legendary russian dudes on the trip too. following the dinners was a $4 1 hour foot/leg massage!
our final day we got rained the fuck out...buit there was a massive adidas game of skate. we missed out on that but u best believe we caught the after party. beers beers and free beers. the party ended up getting focused. smashed bottles, glasses everywere. drinks were being propelled all over the place! and ofcourse the drink became to real for some and we got into a fight out front. some russian guy went nuts. started fighting people for no reason. fucker bit my finger. when i met him at the begining of the night i said "hello how are you?" he replied "im good! im always good man!" poor homeboy was left knocked the fuck out. boards, bins, beers, bottles being burried into homeboys head...
i ended up literaly having to carry tommy home. we had to bail from a couple cabs due to projectile spweing!!! thanks a million to tommy and all the dudes from shanghai!!!! we had a rad time! im such a tard dude i lost your email!!! hit me up please skategypsy@gmail.com
