Hi!

Already filmed in Rio! The trip was short but nice :D ! All the locations were perfect… There was a really crazy stairset and the rocks at the beach! I can’t wait to see the final result!

It was really sunny and I’m not used to it… Kinda hard, but everything else went perfect! There was also the Red Bull Air Race over there, so I watched some planes tests! I’m not sure when it’ll be on TV, but once I get the date and time I’ll post here!

Thanks a lot for everyone from the show!

You can see some pics shot by Helio Leite for now:

Hello!

Today I’m going to Rio de Janeiro!

I was invited by a Sport Channel called SporTV to film some lines and interviews about me and the sport! It will be a really fast trip. I’m taking the plane in 2 hours and I’ll come back in the afternoon, but will be awesome :D I already checked, and there are some nice spots over there… and the beach! :D

Wish me luck :p!

Cheers!

Quick Post:

Congratulations to Eli Brill! He just joined this week the Unicycle.tv team!

For those who don’t know him: He is an american rider who rides REALLY well and also learns really fast! I was expecting he to join the team for a long time and I’m quite happy that it happened!

Another rider who joined the team this semester was Mark Fabian, But I think I don’t have much to say about him :p! He is just way too good!

Congrats to both :D And I hope to see the UTV Team growing again :D

Bye!

Hey!

I arrived here in Germany yesterday but took the day to rest! Todays it was my first official day around here!

It’s really cold here in Cologne! About -6C! Way colder than it was past year (its not common to be that cold here). Even freezing, we went to the “Hall” and organized some pallets and other trials stuff!

Tomorrow we will pick Joe Hodges in the airport and go build some trials stuff again!

I took some photos:

Hey!

I’m running! Just received the airplane tickets to Germany now! And I’m leaving MONDAY! It will be crazy, but worth each minute of work :D !

I plan to post later about the championship in the site and blog, but I must clear all basic stuff here (documents, wash clothes, pack…)! At least the hardest part is done!

Cheers! And for some of you: See you tomorrow (SP Uni Meeting! Check the post below)!

Hey!

In february 7th we are going to host a uni meeting here in São Paulo!

The main idea was to host it at the Vila Lobos park, but due to the STRONG rain that we had last days and the lack of a covered area, we decided to host it at the Ibirapuera Park!

The meeting will start at 8am. The meeting spot will be in “the spider”, a big sculpture in the front of the Modern Arts Museum (MAM)! It’s really easy to find! It’s under a huge covered area, you can ask anyone over there for it!

To make everything easier, if you want to join us, send an email with Name, Age and Mobile contact to encontros@unicycle.com.br! If under 18 please also send your parents contact too! That will make everything better!

If you plan to come after 10am, ask in the email for my mobile number, cause we plan to do some trials/street rides around the park! Fell free also to ask my phone on the email if you have any other questions and suggestions! You can also comment on this post!

Hope to see you next weeks!

Cheers!

Hey :D !

UNICON is over! The last project of 2009 and first of 2010 was the awesome trip I had  to New Zealand for the World Championship! It worth each minute of work I had last year, so the first thing I want to do is thanks my friends and specially my parents who also helped a lot. Obviously I have to special thank’s STB, Kris Holm UnicyclesUnicycle.com! Without those great partners would be hard to make all the trips and events I did past year! THANKS!

For 2010 there are four championships that are really important for the flat community. My main objective is attending all the four: EUC Winter Edition, EUC Summer Edition, NAUCC and LAUCC!

The first one is the EUC Winter Edition. It’s going to take place in Cologne between February 13 and 15. As I just came back from New Zealand and it’s a quite expensive trip, I can’t afford the airplane to Germany :( . Anyway, I have 23 days to work and find partners who are interested in helping, so yeah, hopefully I’m going to make it!

LAUCC isn’t confirmed yet, but will probably be in Ecuator late June!

NAUCC and EUC Summer Edition are going to be in USA and Czech Republic during the summer (July-August)!

Except from the championships and roadtrips I’ll keep all the demos, conventions and event here in Brazil and maybe other countries around South America!

There’s a lot of work this year, and hopefully everything will works out! I have an updated sponsorship planning and lots of energy to work with :D !

Hopefully my posts in the next 20 days will say something about the EUC Winter Edition!

Thanks for all the help past year, and let’s go for another one!

Happy 2010!

Oi!

As my flight back home departed from Auckland, I decided to stay there for a few days and knows the place :D !

The city kinda reminds me of Wellington but WAY bigger! There are LOTS of brazilians in the streets… It’s really impressive… I think that Auckland was the place where we felt more comfortable!

We also visited an awesome aquarium out there! Everything is on the pictures ;) :

Heeey!

What’s up!?

After the 12 days in Wellington, I got over 2000 PICTURES! Just crazy… Was really boring to choose the best ones, and even after the selection I uploaded something like 500 pics!

Everything is on my flickr, but I embbed a slideshow with all the pictures here :D ! There are riding pics and also stuff from the museums I visited and  places I went to my friends!

I hope you enjoy it!

Cya!

PS: I’m already working on the pics I shot in Taupo!

Hi :D !

I was told by a UNICON competitior that I was in New Zeland TV News shows! I found the video on the UNICON official “clipping”:

I’m in pink t-shirt in the end of the video doing a flat line and a not succeeded flip attempt :p

Heeey!

Sorry about the lack of updates! I had a problem in the translation system of the blog!

New Zealand is awesome! As always everybody was really friendly and receptive… Just the weather is a bit weird: REALLY windy and it changes from a strong sun to something really cold in minutes!

Almost all the competitiors are already here. Some of them had problems with flights and luggage but everything was solve! We’re already training a lot and the competitions will probably be real fun!

The organization is a simpler than the 2008 World Champs but still quite awesome! We already filmed and shot some nice pics! I hope to be able to post everything really soon! For now I posted some pics that I liked:

PS: Last 3 pics by Miles Ornish!

Hiii :D

Tomorrow (18/12) I’ll give an interview for the “Planeta EXPN” show (ESPN Brasil Channel). It will be live but unfortunately broadcasted for Brazil only! Probably next week it will be online too!

On the interview I’ll talk about my last months experiences, including the first places in the Latin American Championship, and also about UNICON, the world championship that I’m going to attend next week in New Zealand!

The show starts at 14:00. It will be replayed at 2:00!

Cheers!
