Thanks Zeeh

Oi!

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

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 ! 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!

Hey…

This time I’m not that well…

Some days before the Latin American Championship I had strong pain crises in my kidney. After many exams and different doctors we detected a serious infection! The bactery was in my throat but went down to my kidney causing the strong pain… Before I traveled I had some injections (one of penicillin is extremely PAINFUL) and I got better…

To avoid problems in the future I decided to have a surgery in my throat. I also had to do a correction surgery in my nose, so it was better to do both together. The surgery is quite simple, also the recovering. I was delaying the surgery for sometime after the World Championship, but was better to do it now…

I had it on the morning of 11th November and everything went really well! It’s a bit painful but the worse is the weird sensation of the hurt throat. For some days I wasn’t able to eat (only drink)…

I’m already inside my house for one week now! I still have to wait one week until I be able to ride. I feel really well, but after so many days without real food is quite dangerous to do any exercises. As I can’t go out, I’m using that time to update blogs, website, Flickr and sponsorship material…

For you, two pictures of me after the surgery! (bad quality images! My mom took it with her cellphone) :p:

Helloo

Between Octuber 31 and November 1 we had in Santiago and Valparaíso, Chile, the first Latin American Unicycling Convention and Championship!

I was in the organization of the event, working hard since july to make it happen with the other guys in Chile and Argentina (the experience from European competitions reaaally helps a lot!)! The results: It was awesome!

Not only the competitions, that followed all IUF rules and specs, but meeting everybody was the best part! The biggest part of us knew each other over th web, but was hard to have ALL riders together. With the Kris Holm Sponsor in prizes and specially with the Cabeza de Martillo partnership, that sponsored us with the space and structure, everything worked out!

In the competitions I got some interesting results: First place in Trials, Street and Flatland! The complete results are on the official website: www.laucc.com

It was amazing ! The first of many south american competitions I think! The next one probably will take place in Argentina in the first semester of 2010! I can’t wait for it!

The official video is being made in Chile by one of the riders! For now, the pictures from my new camera (Thanks MOM and DAD! The new camera really helped a lot!):

Hello!

Well, this one was the coolest demo I did in the last months I think…

In the 19 September weekend we had a huge event here in São Paulo, were the organization places sports attraction around the city for 24 hours!

I already knew about this event, but some hours before the organization changed our location! At least we went to he best one: Vale do Anhangabaú. The friday-staurday night was crazy! The material was delayed and I had to stay with Robson Lima (Bike Trials rider) over the night building the course! Actually we only finished it on the morning after 2 hours that we slept in my house! In the end the course was pretty nice. Not big, not small, with stuff for bike, uni and moto… pretty balanced!

We did shows for 12 HOURS! I was unicycling (Trials, but also did some flat short lines:p), Robson Lima (Bike) and Valter Fernandes and Thiago Vermelho (both motorcycle). In the end of the night my shins were all burnt by the contact with the shinguards! CRAZY! But everything compensated: we had a great media exposure, pics for magazines and newspapers, TVs and even live link for national TVs!

I still didn’t received the official video (there was a film maker SPECIALLY FOR TRIALS!)! For now, some pictures that the guys shot with my camera:

Hey

After EUC Summer I took a small “break” and traveled a bit around France. I spent some days in Buthiers with visits to Paris (Was cheaper to stay there and go everyday to the “old city”). After that I went with Yoggi by car to Toulouse! The city is fantastic! Nice people, nice spots to ride, nice pubs and a good vibe at all. Obviously, there’s no one better than Yoggi to show the city! I had 3 or 4 days with Yoggi, Vava and his friends in Toulouse, and after that I took a train to Montpellier to visit Adrien Delecroix

Riding with Adrien is ALWAYS cool … We also had nice laugh out there! There were some issues to solve for the 2010 season and we worked out to organize some plans for the next year… The bad thing went in the last 4 days: I had a kind of Flu and didn’t really trained! With the Swine Flu thing in Brazil, I had to visit an Hospital to be sure and take a certificate of health to come back! Valeríe (Adriens mom) helped A LOT and everything worked out!

Thanks A LOT Yoggi, Vava and all Delecroix for helping me out this summer! Hope to see eveyrbody in the World Championships this year!

Here are the pictures!

As I didn’t posted for a long long time, now I’m going to update the blog with some stuff I did in the past months

In the end of July I went to France to attend the EUC Summer 2009, second part of the same comp I did in January in Germany. The competition took place in Buthier, a small village that have a sports base with LOTS of rocks for trials and some nice space for flat. The organization was basically the same as the winter edition… Everything was awesome

Unfortunately I didn’t qualified between the top 8, but I liked my run… Was really cool to see the improvement of the summer run with the one I did in Cologne past winter!

Here are the pictures (some are official, some were shot by friends… But all are in my Flickr):
