Hey !

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 Unicycles, Unicycle.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 !

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 !

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 :

Hello !

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:

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!
