Okay guys, I can meet you at ShinYurigaoka at 0630AM. I will be there...

On another note....

It was 7pm when I went cruising. Went over to Yoyogi and did some slides on the West side, and decided to go for it... I walked through the park and walked towards Harajuku Station.

I got on the bridge walkway and just sat there for 10 minutes. What was I doing you say? I was timing... timing the lights and remembering when and where to go...

I walked down the walkway and down towards the street leading into Meiji Shrine. I waited facing Omotesando... Then it turned blue... Boom, you got about 30 seconds before the next light change and cars and other stuff happens. I bust out quickly and then damn... A yuppy in a landrover in Tokyo cant make a Uturn into the lane. So there I was stopped at the top of Omotesando street. I waitd,waited, and then light change. I said fuck it, and then went... Yeah, it was a mere couple dozen feet, but I blew past the midway pedestrian light, and down to the intersection. I did a nice toeside and quickly got up and walked away. Was thinking about another, but I was hungry..lol..

Anyways, the cruise was soso, but the Omotesando run, with all the black heads for miles, cars and the noise of the city, I was in the zone, and focused.. Definately a run to do again...

Ya that run is really sweet. You find this moment of bliss in the middle of it all. That is a favorite last run after Yoyogi Koen sessions down to Jonathan's restaurant on the corner for some all night cheap eats.

See you tomorrow at 6:30am at Shin yuri. I should be able to skate until about 9 then need to get back to other plans. Better than no skating for certain.

Nice Session this morning. Shin Yuri and that whole region has a lot more potential I think. That first run is one of the longest I have ever seen in Tokyo. The cherry blossom run was
some of the glassiest pavement. Can't wait for another round of that.

Here are some teaser pics. Link below for full album
