──My good friend from Brooklyn NYC!!
OHAYOGOZAIMASU TOMODACHI. (good morning my friends.)
My good friend came here from brooklyn NYC.
His name is Jahmal Williams.
He is a professional skateboarder,
a drawing artist,
and also an independent skateboard company called "HOPPS skateboards" owner.
When I first met him in nakano tokyo about 16years ago 1998.
Then after we skated at indoor skate park in saitama.
it was our first session.
It was my first time B/S Tail slide shorvit out.
That session was my good memory.
And after, I visited his home town "BOSTON"(before NYC).
We skated some famous spot there.
This is VOLCANO spot. So fun to skate!!
And, "Pagoda park" was our meeting spot.
And, My first spot in boston was here!!
Night time in boston with Jahmal & Shinichi Yamada & Ken Goto.
This picture is Me & Shinichi & Jahmal & Joey Pepper & Robbie Gangemi.
