Sup?

Long time I don’t post anything… Well, I’ve been in a hurry with school, riding and work… At least getting some money and have fun with my friends around here!

Today we’re having an awesome weather and I’m going to do a pic/vid section with Zeeh! Quite awesome

He arrived in my house, and while the lunch was in the oven, we took some pics with my mac iSight cam… low res, but quite funny

Later I’m going to post the pics and some vid

Cheers!

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 And I hope to see the UTV Team growing again

Bye!

First: Sorry! I’ve been really busy with school, work and training since I got back from Germany!

I will resume what happened out there:

The trip was awesome! A lot of riding, many new good riders too, nice place as always, snow and lots of fun!

Unfortunately I had a small accident one day before the street comp, and had some stitches in my feet, so I didn’t compete in the street comp . The flatland was lots of fun! Really high level, and as I said, some good riders in the new generation

The coolest thing for me was being able to film the official EUC Video side by side with Jim (Sinco). I’ve been studying videography for sometime, and Jim is a master in this subject! The final vid should be out in some days!

I can’t forget to thanks Kris and specially Olaf who hosted me and organized such a great event one more time! The days I had there are unforgettable!

This week I’ll put the pics on Flickr! I’m quite busy with two other projects: A new video and a trip here in Brazil!

Cheers,
Pedro

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 !

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)!

Taupo is a city in the middle of the New Zealand north island, surrounded by 3 big vulcans and a huge lake!

You can’t say that’s not beautiful!… In our first breakfast (we took a overnight bus to get there, coming from Wellington), we ate with a nice view of the lake and with the vulcan in the background! But nothing is perfect: The city is quite expensive!

In Taupo you can bungy jump, sky dive, kaiak… There are many extreme sports to do, but everything is expensive! Usually each “adventure” costs about 100 NZ Dollars per person! Considering that you can do 3 per day, it can be really hard for your pocket!

If you rent a car you can go to the national park, which is full of hikes! You can also run around the entire lake!

As I was there for one day only and also running low money, I chose to do a boat ride at the Huka Falls! The water fall is really beautiful, and also the rivers around… You really fell into a Lord of the Rings scene! The boat is really fast and can do 360 spins, which makes the ride really awesome!

There’s also a hot water river (42 Celsius Degrees!) that ends in the same river where the boat rides!

Over there you can find some of the pics I shot in Taupo:

Everything that’s good don’t last forever! UNICON is over…! But it was awesome: meeting everybody again, meeting new friends, the riding, filming, the pics, the competitions… It was crazy!

My final results are:

Flatland: 10 Place;

Trials (16-17 Cat.): 4 Place;

Honestly, I was expecting more from flatland, but my qualification run wasn’t that good and things happened in a different way . At least in Trials, that I did for fun, I got 4th place!

I still have one week traveling around NZ! Probably going to Taupo or Rotorua and after Auckland!

Cya!

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

The interview that I gave for the Planeta EXPN program on the ESPN Channel was uploaded! Unfortunately they only uploaded one of three parts: http://www.planetaexpn.com.br

For those who didn’t watch it, I just uploaded on Vimeo! It have 30 min and is divided in 2 parts:
