Brazil “I just love going back home and giving back by honoring my origins and skateboarding school.”

Bondi Beach, Australia “I just love the combination of a great cement pool for skateboarding and the beach environment. The food is also pretty amazing and you can guarantee yourself a good time.”

Shanghai, China “It’s such a different world out there. And it’s amazing to see skateboarding and where it can reach. I just can’t get over the memories of skating that mammoth of a cement park they have over there. And the streets man… had fun with that too. Perfect spots and no one cares if you skate. They just watch. I think it’s the martial arts connection but they love skateboarding.”

San Francisco,USA “Skating the streets of SF are the most memorable times I’ve had on my skateboard. I learned a lot in that town and it’s always great to go back and cruise around. I finally got to bomb lombard street recently…. sliding like a mad man all the way down.”

Twin Falls, USA “There’s this 500′ Bridge and you can jump off it… there’s also a skatepark down the road. Ahh….
