33 Mile Ride: Sunset Beach

After we left Belmont Shores, we actually grabbed lunch at In and Out mainly to refuel on water. Pretty much took PCH after with some pretty long inclines. Well deserved rest break here.

The ride back home was pretty brutal due to cross winds and straight up dehydration. But hey, we made it and one step closer to the century ride!

Camera Check: Nikon FG-20

Another day, another camera check! This one isn't as throwback as the Polaroid 440, but just as cool. Check out that Nikon leather case! It has been used but not abused.

Nikon FG-20, its a film camera with a 50mm lens! Honestly this older glass looked cleaner/clearer than the 50mm I'm currently using. 

Leather grips

Low profile with that Sharp strap

Such a beauty! 

They currently don't sell the FG-20 anymore but they do sell something similar, <this> bad boy! The Nikon FM10 is a very similar looking camera, but for some reason I like how the FG-20 looks!

Bike Check: Fuji Track Pro

Bike Check time! Lemme introduce to my friend's Fuji Track Pro. Compared to Merci "Rolls" this thing is really light. I helped my hommie overhaul this bike when he first got this bike on craigs ... man too many initial problems. 1st the bottom bracket teeth stripped and the pedals were cross threaded. Terrible 1st owner. We went through so many bike shops to get the bottom bracket off and when we finally did, it took 4 guys and a long leverage tool to free that bottom bracket. Maintain your bikes kids! Even though this bike is designed to be ridden in a <velodrome>, I really love how fast this bike responds in the streets. One day I'll join the aluminum track bike club with one of these bad boys <Low//> 

notice how the toe clips are covered with no metal exposed, gotta keep those kicks fresh

brakeless only

Stay tuned, a lot more to come!

Skate Parks and Rec

So me and my cousin were kicking it trying to kill some time b4 a movie and we both happened to stumble upon this skate park and we both just so happened to have our cameras haha! Check his stuff out <HERE>. Taking these pictures were pretty fun and believe it or not, for most of these pictures I was crouched on the ground shooting through metal bars. Gotta work for that perfect shot! Although, I will admit that it was tough shooting at 50mm, had to back up a lot. Anywho, I'd like to note that for all of my pictures I have posted on here, I haven't done post production (Photoshop/Lightroom). One day I'll get my hands on it, until then, Enjoy!

This one is my favorite one.

Chapman Pub Day

Hello! These pictures are pretty old, these were taken 8.5.2011. I have so much material to show but hey they'll be worth it! I was kickin it with my cousin and we went to this pub in Chapman. This is part 1 of us kickin it. 

In all honesty, a really dope bar but damn ... shit was expensive! But hey well worth it, good times with the cousin!
