One of the days that I was healed up enough to ride, Rip Zinger set up a meeting with Nike Japan to do some shooting of me riding throughout Tokyo. I was still injured at the time and wasn’t really feeling like riding, but Rip is a world-renown photographer and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity!

A nice little wallride spot I found. We only got one run in at it though.

Traffic was dense in Tokyo. Comparable to NYC.

It’s actually legal to ride on the sidewalk there too. Sometimes it’s the only way to get to a spot.

Found a nice bank in Shibuya with a pretty steep hip. I got a nice 3 tap off it and a flared out 180 on another bank, a few blocks away.

This sidewalk made a nice little hip. Perfect for blasting a 180 out of it.

Thanks so much for your time Rip! Come back to NYC and we’ll hang out!
