Mexico: The Inventor of the Zonkey : Day 9

This is the end. Beautiful friend. This is the end. My only friend, the end…or something like that. That’s right, this is the end of our Mexico trip, but only until the next one. I can’t say that it wasn’t fun, but I can say that it is good to be going home. There were a lot of good times on this one, but then there where some shitty (pun intended) times as well. One of the highlights for me was definitely seeing the Pyramids, but then again, it was also pretty cool seeing Nestor’s black tongue as well. And do I even have to mention our mystery guest? I mean, holy shit! What a shocker, right? That’s what I was saying as well. Anyway, here’s the photo’s.

Leo getting his last lick in while we wait to be driven to the airport.

Who know’s what the hell these two were talking about? I know I didn’t, cause after all, I speak neither Australian, or Canadian. The only language I speak is American, brother.

Once again, just sitting around waitin’. Although, we did get a surprise guest visit by Dave Hoang.

Leo’s one brave hombre, cause if I were him I wouldn’t be going through customs dressed like this. He’s obviously never seen the the movie, “Born in East LA“.

Oh crap, this was a good one. I’m sure you’ve all seen guys jump on there boards with there butt’s, and break there boards, right? Long story short, Keegan tried that and didn’t even come close. The only thing he did almost break was his head open on the concrete…good times.

Cairo was laughing his balls off for a while from that Keegan stunt. Actually, we all were.

Keegan’s butt and pride might be hurt, but it’s nothing a Starbucks couldn’t fix.

Apparently I was the only one that the airport didn’t book all the way through to home. When we landed back in Mexico City, I had to go re-check in for my next flight…rad. Anyway, this is all the bros laughing at me while I drag my bags back to a check in counter.

And this is what I find on the other side…lucky me.

Free wireless, and a few games of cards helped pass the lengthy layover.

Then, a lovely sit down at Chili’s (for the second time in one day I might add). Kevin enjoys one of there fantastic mixed drinks, while Cricket gives him some pointers, being that he used to be a bartender.

Oooops. I know that I’m no linguist, but I’m pretty sure that this lady is telling these lovely people that they need to pay for all the stuff they just broke. Sucks for them.

Leo gears up for the flight home by trying to make himself fall a sleep. If you remember in the first post, you saw what a good sleeping aid a book turned out to be for Nestor.

And that about wraps things up. This photo here is us being shuttled into LAX customs. Like I said in the beginning, I can’t say it wasn’t a fun trip, but I can certainly say I’m glad to be home.

See you later.

Mexico: The Inventor of the Zonkey : Day 8, part 2

Sorry I had to do you like that, but I had way to many photo’s for this to be one post. After all, it gave you guys something to look forward to. Cause believe me, I know you’ve got nothing else going on if you’re checking this thing out everyday. Let’s be honest, I’m right aren’t I? That’s what I thought. Now hopefully you won’t be to disappointed with what you’re about to see. Oh well if you are, cause you can’t win them all.

Like I said, we were taking it easy today, so back to the skate park for some warmup action. Looks like A-stone is taking some advice from Chuck Norris, cause his one footed ollie is fully extended.

Atiba show’s some of his tech street skills by playing Leo in a game of skate.

Wow, underneath that, “Bad to the Bone” hat lies a sweet rat tail. I wonder what else he’s hiding under there? I guess we’ll never know.

Skate park photo op.

Nestor’s so stylish, he even pee’s cool…check the lean on the tree. Now if that ain’t cool, then I don’t know what is.

We came to this spot the other day, but got instantly kicked out. Looks like the gods were smiling upon us, cause we skated for a couple of hours and the bros even got a few tricks.

Holy crap! Now that’s a lot of kids. Looks like we’re going to be here for a while for this signing.

Cairo and Leo display there new co-lab skate shoe…the Emeri-kai.

Standard issue signing photo.

Hell yeah, it’s our friend Antonio from Mexico City. Thanks again for all the help, Antonio.

Tattoo shop in a skate shop, are you crazy. It’s funny because the Commissioner would talk about wanting to get a tattoo everyday he was here, but never figured it out. Hey Commish, you should have stuck around a couple more days…oh well, maybe next time.

Damn, the kids are bringing stuff out of the wood works, cause this is Leo’s first RVCA ad.

This may not be Cairo’s first, but it’s definitely an old one.

This lucky group of people were winners for a contest at the radio station we did the night before. Looks like they won some autographed shop boards, and some RVCA gear…lucky’s.

Awesome, it’s our old pal, Anthony Acosta. Anthony missed us so much, he decided to come back for the signing. Good seeing you again so soon, A-cost.

This young man was lucky enough to have Keegan ruin his board with some provocative artwork. Shortly after drawing the life like genitalia, Keegan started receiving offers to do art shows. Nice work, Keegan.

Yeah Boyd, looks like you got a royalty coming your way for this Aquabats tee. Is it just me, or do I want to get some auto insurance?

Group shot with the bros, and the shop peeps. Good job boys, that was a long one.

Later that evening back at the hotel; Nestor plays a pretty little diddy, while Cairo reads a story for the bros. Those enjoi guys are something else.

Then some street dinner. Hopefully this doesn’t give me the Montezuma’s.

A-stone and Nestor joined in on the fun. Pictured below is our to go sauce.

And lastly. I got hassled by Kevin and Leo for not wanting to go out to the bar. I tried to explain to them that this blog doesn’t just burn on you guys by itself, but they weren’t having it and stormed off. Sorry dudes, but like I just said, how am I supposed to make fun of you guys if I’m out watching you drink? That’s what I thought.

Mexico: The Inventor of the Zonkey : Day 8, part 1

Day 8, and we’re going to mucho take it easy! I know, I know, you think we’re slippin’, but you’ll see when the article comes out that we didn’t. Besides, how often do you think these guys skate from 9am till dark back home? That’s right, never. Also, todays blog is such a mega post, i’m going to have to break it into two parts. So with that, check the goods, and don’t trip, boo.

Went for a little site seeing session.

Ran into our old friends, R2-D2 and C-3PO

First order of business, check this Church out. Obviously we did, so Keegan and I celebrated. Being that Keegan has an extensive figure skating background, and I’ve got the weight advantage, we decided that he’d be the one hoisted in the air.

If you need any shoe laces, I’ve got the perfect spot.

Cairo imagines about the full figured gal that it would take to fill the panties behind him…boo-yeah.

Bryce reflects on memories past of the time when he was still a young lion cub.

Hey Acosta, looks like we found you a little suit, for your tiny body.

Looks like Nestor’s trying to get into some street beverage. Better watch out for the mud butt, buddy.

Bryce was so pumped to finally ride his first steed.

I try and do my best Conan the Barbarian pose while sitting on this throne.

Cairo tends to the horses, and feeds them some hay.

Looks like Bryce got himself a cowgirl. Riding that horse must have paid off.

Somebody bought a cowboy hat.

And somebody else bought some sunglasses.

Man, that Ed Templeton sure is a busy man, cause along with his, Robert’s & Tilton show he also did this art show in Gaudalajara. Yeah Ed, The arts really coming along.

At first glance I bet you didn’t even know that Austin and I had ice creams did you. I also got locked into those gorgeous eyes of his…no homo.

Yeah Cairo, that’s the stuff, you barely look like an idiot…you go boi!

Hey look, I ran into my friend Chili down in ol’ Mexico.

The K-man was jealous of Leo’s hat so he gives it a go. Lookin’ good buddy, lookin’ good.

Lookie, lookie, it’s our old friend, Raymond Molinar. Apparently, “Cons” is down in Mexico as well, and staying at our hotel to boot. Boo-yeah!

Look who else is out there with “Cons”. It’s our old friend, Ethan Fowler.

Well, this is were I’m going to leave you, so I guess you’ll for sure have to check back tomorrow.

Mexico: The Inventor of the Zonkey : Day 7

Day 7 and the Commissioner is out. That’s right, he had a battle with the Montezuma’s that he couldn’t win. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Just as the Commissioner got worse, most the other bros got better, therefore making for a very productive skate day. We actually hit one of the spots up again that we partied with yesterday, just so Nestor and Leo could get there’s. But that’s not to say that we didn’t hit up new uncharted ones as well, cause we did. Anyway, check it out.

Leo was especially proud that his fart’s cleared Cairo and I out of the elevator.

Keegan’s got the Hammeke eye for some skating.

First spot, Cairo attempts to do some filing on a nob. To bad he had the worlds smallest file, cause it didn’t really help much.

Like I said earlier, everybody’s falling under the Montezuma’s wrath. KSL attempts to sleep it off.

Holy crap! Looks like sitting in the grass at this spot is a bad idea, cause there’s scorpions out there.

Leo gettin’ down on a long ass rail…this is just one of his first try warm up tricks. The other stuff you’ll have to wait for the article in, The Skateboard Mag.

The rail was on a pretty busy street, so this was the lineup for catching Leo or his board if either ventured out.

Looks like Leo took a couple of heavy slams, but let me assure you, he definitely got the tricks.

Street fruit at the spot. I believe this cost under a dollar.

Once again, the guys were falling. This time, it’s taken a hold of Atiba.

Boo-yeah, check this little buddy out.

Street beer.

Boo-yeah!

When Cairo and Leo skate a spot, you usually want to get a good seat…and that’s exactly what the bros did.

Hey, look at this thing.

Nestor try’s out an Acosta angle…crouching down to about 3′7″.

The bros check the photo, but by the looks of Leo’s face, he no likey.

Then a quick photo shoot of a hip alternative boy band…”El Niños”

Wow, are you kidding me? Look at how awesome this spot is. This natural quarter pipe is better than any in any skate park around.

Bryce was nailing…as always.

Montezuma’s.

Then over to the local radio station to hype the signing up a bit.

Minutes before air time, Keegan was on a very important international conference call…with two separate Country’s as well.

Yes, a Cricket melt down. I love these things, cause he truly throws the most childish of fits when things don’t go just right…reminds me of my two year old son.

Keegan only speaks Canadian, so he had no clue what Leo was saying in his native tongue, Spanish.

Blah, blah, blah…

…blah, blah, blah.

It didn’t take long for the interview to turn south with hi-jinx.

Then a quick little authentic Mexican dinner.

Keegan was pumped…I think?

Like I said, we stopped off for a authentic Mexican dinner. This is what I got, only because they didn’t have any more Beef Meximelt’s.

See you tomorrow.
