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!

Helloo :D

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 :D ! 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!):

Hey :D

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 :D

Riding with Adrien is ALWAYS cool :D … 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!
