Wooooooo Dude ...... I cant believe Im starting a series of Blogs from North America. It was never in my plan to cruise here but some big draw cards enticed me. Paul Dawson and Russell were in town and a road trip thru Mexico with the boys in a Chevy rental was way too good to miss out on. We were also graced by the company of Amber (Pauls girlfriend) and Jimena (Russ's Argintinian friend) who are awesome and made for a kickass road trip crew.
Haha .......... it wasnt long before Russ's presence was felt ....... as we approached the Mexican boarder he realised he forgot his passport (Koozer much) and we wernt turning back ..... haha ..... so the plan was to smuggle him back into the states ........ hmmmmmmmmm ....... could get interesting.
After a massive drive to the early hours of the morning we stumbled accross a awesome beach in the middle of nowhere ..... it was so good we decided to use this as our base and setup a makeshift house. This place was amazing ....... the township was the closest thing to third world Ive ever seen yet the locals were lovin the simple life and were super friendly.
Anyway I could go on forever but will let the phots do the talking ....... Wait a minute ...... I gotta mention the naked roman candle gauntlet and the gunshots fired by the Gringo who wasnt so stoked about us doing skids on his front yard ....... but all in all a great road trip with some funny as stories ........ thanks for hooking us up Dawson ..... Good Times dudes ....... Peace.

This was our transport while in Mexico
The Chevy took a beating as usual but she served us well. Shot Dawson for hooking it all up.

Russ, Jamaima and Amber getting creative with some candy
Russ ...... dont think the Platterpuss nickname is gonna leave ya that easy

Day 1 at the beach
So stoked to be back at the beach soaking up the sun

So this was our beach and our home for 3 nights
This beach was wicked and we pretty much had it to ourselves ...... just what I needed after London life. Shot to Russ and Jime for getting the materials.

Check out the local petrol station
Petrol was stored in that plastic barrel and siphoned into milk bottles and then this dude filled u up by the milk bottle ....... Dont think health and safety exsists in these parts ....... This is my kinda town

The Bumper ......... Definately one of my favorite pictures
In this spot there were no real road rules, or number plates or anything really and this was a dudes custom drop top rally machine ....... Classic

The view from my bed
Perfect

Tacos ........ MMMMMMMMMMM
Me and Dawson tucking in to some tasty mexican

Food option number 2
Mexican is awesome ...... but five days of Mexican spice resulted in some serious MudBum ..... haha

So we managed to pick up some pretty cool Fireworks in Mexico
Which resulted in some entertaining nights round the fire ...... was funny when sparks from the fire set off the bag of fireworks ........ Classic

Fireworks and the Coman Candle Gauntlet
Ok so the game went like this ..... light one double happy (imagine 5 times the size u think) light it and try to wait as long as possible b4 you sling shot it into the air ..... because if it hits the deck b4 it goes off then you are summoned to the Roman Candle Gauntlet ...... did I mention that you had to run naked with 3 roman candles firing at you ......Haaaaaaaaaaaa

Russ trying to get out of tha Gauntlet
Lets just say there was a very fine line between getting your hand blown off and running the gauntlet ...... the wicks were totally unpredictable so there was alot of naked Gauntlent runs ...... haaaaaaaaa

Me and Russ ready for a big night out in Ensanada
It was Ambers birthday so this called for a night on the Ensenada town ...... turns out Mexicans love to party so it was a good one in this massive club which I totally didnt expect to see ....... good times

The Mexicans loved there cars
And love to show em off in the main street of Ensenada ...... nice

MMMMMMM Tasty Seafood
It had been so long since I tasted some juicy seafood so was stoked and this stuff was gooooooood!

Skids on with Dawson behind the wheel
So about 7 or 8 mins into our skid session, and after one driver change, this Gringo women got a bit pissed off and started screaming at Paul, he had no idea she was even there and continued with his sick drifts. Then the Gringos hubby came out and fired off a couple a shots ....... Wooooooo Dude ...... Dawson didnt hear these either ..... and continued ....... Classic
