New blog. New days. New everything.

A long time I begun this as a way to vent my frustrations, anger and bad times I was into. That was around 2006.
It also helped me to stay in touch with my friends overseas.
Eventually, I launched a Tshirt line called Worldwide that sold at major stores like Digital Gravel, Supreme NY, Reed Space NY or Trust Nobody Barcelona.
I launched 2 seasons. I designed a whole new collection by 2008 that never saw the light because my life gave a twist.

Now, when 2009 is ending, I feel this Worldwide project must end. No more blog. No more photos. No more stories. The blog was focused around what was going on with the brand building during theso years, and now that I decided to finally drop Worldwide as a project, this makes no sense.

Also, there is no need to vent anything. Im completely happy, feel my life is way better now than in 2006 and everything evolved to a positive end.

I feel I gave this project the right direction but lately it was turning into a more day to day with no background which I think belongs to other type of blogging behavior.

This is the last post in the WORLDWIDE blog.

All my friends will be able to follow my skate adventures with Nike SB at skatefamily.es in the blog section, and eventually will launch a new blog not focused on a brand, or a certain project, but on my daily adventures. That is would make sense to me.

My last instalment to this whole thing, and as a project Im working right now, would be the Qatar project, a tour I put together some weeks ago, and the documentary that will go live in january 2010 about the skateboard tour to a city like Qatar. You can peep the trailer here.

Thanks for all the emails, all the pics wearing my tees, all the good times, and all the friends I met during these years.

And some images from the Qatar project trip.


Promise me you will never use Turkish Airlines…

A terrific month. I cant even relax. And its paying its tolls…

I come back from one location and then to the other. I know somebody who is sick and tired of all this travelling…

So back on the road this time (No more planes for a while). On my hands lately, the Qatar project is going strong, and in around 4 weeks there will be the documentary of the trip I will post here. It will cover the adventures of 8 guys going to skate to an unknown city. If you ask me, pretty dope story.

Finally hom.
Amazing how it it feels to be home…

yeah, I know my forehead looks like Im 40. But no, its just I set my LX3 in high contrast mode and the shadows get really strong. Hope that excuse works…

Dani Lopez from Vitoria. A young rider who kills anything in sight. Good laughs.

The Khalifa Stadium. We spent more time here than anywhere else. Add a mall to the mix of good marble benches and you have a good mix of options to spend time here.

Another day shooting. Driving. Avoiding 4×4 in the road. And my first day eating right, a steak and a salad.

A half constructed city, mainly built on sand, and where most of the skycrappers are not even finished.
And a quest to find spots that look non existent. But we have found many, and we have been shooting and filming like maniacs for the last days.

Good stuff coming out of this trip. But still here…
