badass : skatebording

I`ll introduce skateboarding culture this time.  The men in the phot is one of the coolest skaters.  His name is Tony Alva.  He was born on September 2, 1957 in Santa Monica, California. He is a member of the Z-Boys.  This team is a skateboarding team.  Other members are Stacy Peralta, Jay Adams and Jim muir.   They are legend of the skateboarding.  I think Tony Alva is the coolest among them, because he is one of the skaters that has revolutioned the surfing style.  Have you seen skateboarding on dog bowl ?  Dog bowl is for skateboarding and it`s like a place where water is drained from the pool.  Z-boys and Tony Alva started this style.  Furthermore he launched the brand "Alva skateboarders" when he was 19 years old.  This brand is still loved by skaters.  And recently he has been seleced as the "30 people who have had the most influence on the skateboard industry".  And his life and Z-Boys story were made into a movie.  The movie is " Lords Of Dogtown".If you have an interest , you shold see this movie.  You can learn more about Tony Alva and Z-Boys.

BMX rider : Shuhei Nomura

Hello everyone.  In the last post I introduced Daichi Teshigawara.  Did you check his movies on Instagram or Youtube ?  This time I will introduce a man. Do you know him?  Certainly you know, right?  That's right.  He is Shuhei Nomura.

He is a famous actor in Japan. He was born on November , 14 in Hyogo and he is 26 years old.  He is quarter between Japan and China.  Before he plays BMX,  he was playing snoebording.  Then he started BMX as a hobby. Moreover his acting is expert.  However his BMX skill is also expert as much as any professional. 

He has been playing BMX for 9 to 10 years. His playing period is not longer than the other professional players.  After all he has a brilliant talent.  I also want to get a brilliant talent.  But even he couldn't be an expert without a lot of practicing.  I decided I would follow his practice.


He often appears at W-BASE a BMX shop in Shibuya.  So I can watch his skills before my eyes.  Moreover to  play BMX with smeone's ideal for BMX riders is a delightful thing.  Someday I want to play BMX with Nomura Shuhei.
