TOKYO/PART.IV

Breakfast.

 

Pontus waiting for the shot.

 

That's the shot, but I'm no action photographer. At all.

 

 

Bertrand.

 

On our way to ibaraki.  This was one of the few diy spots.

 

 

 

This little fella was sleeping in the car and not being interrupted by all the noise 5 skaters and 2 bmxers were making.

Phil had hurt his ancle. 

 

 

Another spot before ibaraki..This is probably one of the most famous one's. 

 

And then it started raining.

 

 

Our ridiculous room. 

And ridiculous amounts of sushi. We were five on this one, and imagine there being at least two pieces on each plate... 39 x 2 =78 + let's say 10 for extras + 3 egg sushi's + 2 eel filees....

 

Heaven.

TOKYO/PART.II

 

Jetlagged and out on a morning mission for the answers about this mindblowing place. It's paralyzing how the brain just shuts off after a couple of hours of billions upon billions of new impressions

 

 

 Mission payed off though, Behind the wall was this mesmerizingly beautiful graveyard...

 

Waiting again..

 

This is what it looks like driving around part 1. 

 

.. and part 2.

 

part 3.

 

....Guess what, We're waiting again. This time back stage at this event called Mad Ollie for the testing of the ramp before the crowd arrived. This is Phil by the way, he's the filmmaker about this little tour that I got to tag along to.

 

Gerhard. The walking carhartt ad.

 

I thought that was the Ice cream van but to my disappointment it was only the delivery man.

 

After testing and before doing the caged monkey business the boys went out on one of their own missions, the infamous skate spot mission. 

 

After maybe 2-3 hours we went back to a now filled venue. Apparently japanese metal, punk and hardcore was on the menu.

 

Gerhard's biggest fan Katsushige. 

 

KAWAIIIIII!!!

 

The coolest chick I've met so far. Seriously it drives me coockooo that the girls here are so shy and quiet. 

 

YEEEEEEEEAH PPUUUUUUUUUUNK  RAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWK!!!

 

Don't feed the animals?

 

This is eduards and this is him getting a number from a fangirl while signing autographs and posing for camera phones.

 

 

 

RIP CITY handing out flyers.

 

The bartender. I can't help but to ask people for pictures just to see what pose they choose.

 

Phil nr. 1.

 

Oh the irony.

 

Night time from the balcony.

OVERLOAD

I can't believe I am going to spend Halloween in TOKYO. What if they don't celebrate Halloween?! I would die if they wouldn't. BUT MORE AMAZING, what if they do?? Imagine, millions of even crazier japanese outfits running around the streets. Couldn't imagine it to be any more different than what goes on there daily.

TOKYO + HALLOWEEN + GERHARD =

UNEXPLAINABLY EXCRUCIATINGLY GOOD IN ALL DIMENSIONS

LIKE I DIE.

And then the day arrived, the day of Nils and Gilly's wedding in the outskirts of london. We, that is 6 men in suits and I, took the flight early in the morning and arrived all dolled up and ready to party. We cried, laughed and all felt a wee bit jealous of their love at the ceremony. And what ceremony it was. The dinner was incredible with a million of amazing speeches that either made you cry your eyeballs out or laugh hysterically. Unfortunately I was a terrible photographer during the entire day and only took  out the camera as soon as the drinks came out and ended up with 200 bad pictures of hammered people. So here we go, a bunch of hammered people:

PLANTS/JEWELRY/FEIJOADA

I'm headed up to gothenburg to visit mom's place, thank god for tradera/ebay and cheap ass tickets. This time I paid 15 kr. 

BOXTEDHALL

 

P and I finally booked our flights for Nils and Gilly's wedding in september. Can you believe it? 3 weddings in a years time?! I'm one lucky bastard.
