The web presence has been pretty hurting over here for a while, we had some top secret video stuff going on and then followed it up with 3 weeks in China. I can't show you the top secret stuff so here are some phone photos from the China trip. It started like always, team meeting at whichever watering hole was closest to the gate.

When we first got to Bejing our hosts had some messages for the guys who couldn't make it. Well, Mike?

Beebs skipped Beijing and met us in Guangzhou. He missed some fans.

This is our hotel in Bejing. I think the name says it all.

One of the first things we did in Bejing was check out the course at the China X-Games. Mo didn't approve.

While the guys worked on their runs Sam and I worked on our newspaper angles. I call this one "Raven takes flight."

They had an athlete meeting inside this thing. That was pretty cool. During the media session, the Chinese media asked some Rockstar Fedora wearing BMXer why he liked China. He thought about it for a while and then responded "No fat chicks."

Outside the comp Kenny and Raven broed down with the locs.

Enough with the contest shit. We were there to hit the streets. We spent a lot of time skating around from spot to spot. This seemed like a pretty sketchy idea out there, considering zero traffic laws apply. It was insane.

When we couldn't skate or train it somewhere we'd cab it around. Vince looking like he's had it with the traffic.

Just kidding. Vince has a good time anywhere.

Looks like we're getting kicked out of here. Rule #1 why China is currently the best spot in the world to skate street. You can not get kicked out of anywhere. After a life of getting kicked out of every spot ever it's a great feeling to ignore security until they get frustrated and leave you alone.

Cory thinking about some shit. Like why he kept getting stuck carrying my tripod bag. Thanks Cory!

Gratuitous Moped shot.

Cory minutes after melting everyones face with a crazy NBD and seconds before texting his way straight into a pothole and onto his face.

This was actually great.

Part of BA's sticker collection. He's always ready.

Raven is to grip tape as BA is to sticker jobs.

When we got to Guangzhou this was in the lobby. Apparently they don't reward them well enough, because weed is pretty much everywhere out there.

One of the many complimentary items in our hotel bathroom.

It was pretty obvious where the Skate Rock guys had been. I saw these all over the place.

Typical crowd scene.

Raven and Vince going back to back into this thing for a warm up.

Part 2 after Thanksgiving. Have a good one everybody.
