This is the view of Victoria Harbor from our hotel room. The boat in the foreground is the Duk Ling, a restored fishing junk that gives free one hour sails of the harbor to visitors.
The first couple of mornings I was waking up promptly at 5:30 am. I walked to the ferry dock one morning and saw this tug floating- I loved the seemingly monochromatic colors of the scene.
This is Kit. He was the one who worked through the details of our trip with us and is our goto guy . . . and now good friend. He owns a sweet skateshop called Kitshop and whenever we are hanging out he literally gets a phonecall on one of his two cells like every 70 seconds or so. Kit rocks.
In the subway there are huge billboards for our event XGAMES experience with really funny depictions of a skater, BMXer (who is actually a mountain biker) and a blader from 1992 it's radical. According to the course posters, I am an "Icon" in the skateboard community . . . who knew!?
This is the demo team (minus our MC, "CK" who you'll see shortly). Hong Kong at night is really fun - tons of people, lots of shopping and food and neon signs, quite an adventure we're on!
These our are homies who do a trial bikes demo on the other side of a partition from us . . . those bikes are crazy and have no seats . . . more of that later.
This was our meal at a famous seafood restaraunt. In the front are tanks with a crazy variety of sea creatures including mantis fish and lots of things I didn't recognise . . .
Here we see CK enjoying a friend of the lobster that I am holding above smothered in cheese sauce.
Much much more to come . . . stay tuned!! Thanks for the interest!
