Ruben Garcia and Michael Sommer...Yes You Changed our Lives

Ruben Garcia

Rubens Finally found the best seat at the Saloon

Last month we were fortunate enough to host a few DC skaters from Norway and Barcelona. Ruben Garcia  and Michael Sommer. I first met Ruben a few years ago through a mutual friend in San Diego. When I heard he was coming back to the states for work for a month I wouldn't have it any other way than for him to stay with us. Even though I am sure DC offers them housing It just wouldn't be the same if he wasn't in our home. Each visit has the same protocol.....the white Mercedes, 20-30 pairs of dc shoes, Rubens mix Cd's, and the Saloon, where EVERYONE knows his name :)
The random chance I met him and now I couldn't imagine my life without him. In-n-Out breakfast, Pizza in Bed, Frank Sinatra, and what was that channel we watched all day laughing hysterically?? 

This visit was a little different...... added bonus. One of Rubens riders Michael Sommer ended up included in our housing project.  When I hear hotel I cringe.....why stay in a hotel when you can have a home. Mikey, as he came to be known around our home, entered our lives and will never leave. I can't get sad anymore when these wonderful people leave.....I just think about the "Next" adventure. 

Michael Sommer

Mikey skating

Mikey had many firsts during this visit.....Jimbo's, Whole Foods, Granola, Heathers 32nd Birthday, Zenbu, Station Sushi, Mac and Cheese, Swami's, Beacons,Melting Pot, Bull Taco, Saloon, Living with two American females........poor kid :P  

Mikey's first Josie

Mikey's first to the Melting Pot with my roommate Aimee
I think it was harder for Mikey to pick a cheese than to pull a skating trick  

Mikey's first Saloon trip and first time with random mans glasses

Mikey left us with a video he shot the opening sequence from our home, his us home. We miss you both so much. See you soon in Barcelona :)

From Parking lots to Billboards..... The Street Casting of Liz Lugo

So it was an average day of my life standing outside of 7 11 , showing off my killer dance moves, when Heather and Tammy hopped out of a van and asked me if I was interested in doing an adidas photoshoot!! Little did i know i was being watched from a distance by complete strangers who cruised around the neighborhood in a van, but I cant say i minded this. My friends all peed and pooed and i was flabergasted. "could it be my killer dance moves?" i wondered. Later on that day I informed my mother about the strange occurence and her initial reaction was another modeling school wanting a lot of money. Stupid her. Turns out it was an oppurtunity of a life time because not only was i able to be a part of an adidas commercial but i met some hilare people, got a personal teacher, and I was inspired to do backflips off of walls......Liz

Liz was chosen for the 2011 adidas "Ready to Run" campaign. Her energy and personality was exactly what adidas was looking for and found in the parking lot of a 7eleven in Imperal beach. Professional models, real parkour athletes, and 5 casting calls in LA and San Diego could not provide what Liz brought to the table for this Parkour driven campaign.

Stay tuned for future casting calls in the next few weeks.
