driving through france

expensive and sucks but was necessary for us to get to the pyrenees - a very unique place where the mountains and the coast are close. if you get it good, you can have powder and waves the same day.

that s me, one thump up

sani, toll road of course

christophe, radical.

leaving Tahoe

I still feel a bit dizzy from the Peppermill Casino in Reno where I spent my last night. Too much! Too many lights, too much blue violett and pink. Besides that the place is ugly as hell, who did choose the carpet? Who ordered hundreds of square meter of the ugliest carpet in the world? Inside the PeppermillCasino target group. Hi there!The Hot Seat - welcome to Extreme Arcade! An easy way to get rid of money for kids at the Peppermill.I hope the baby had ear plugs…Ready? Mu and Sami, Dance BattleGwen’s having a partyrad bowling ballSubway has amazing pos tools. Look, that’s the pants you’ll need when you eat Big Macs.A paintball photo anual, pretty crazyOkay, let’s have a Coke……and a Cookie and let’s get back to the snow: speaking of discovering your own photos in the wild, here’s one more. Eero Rail in Northstar at Tahoe A wall of snow at the parking in Boreal classic: the iPod vending machine at the Reno Airport. They got free wireless there, pretty nice. I catched up with the news on the interweb and had to laugh about this photo and even more funny, met Nick Hamilton in Washington, 2 flights later that day.
