About two years ago, The online store crew (including myself) were still working in the tiny space in the backyard of Hatagaya.<\/p>\n

Around this time, we started to see more and more guests from overseas and I would often help our guests out with their shopping by translating.<\/p>\n

One day, someone peaked in the backyard looking for help. Like always, I got up from my seat and went where the gentleman who was in need of help. The guy was wearing an orange PUNKANDYO<\/a> zip up hoodie and I was wearing a Frog Skateboards hat, so we realized that we both have same kind of interests in clothing. (at least I did)<\/p>\n

We had a brief conversation about bike stuff and the gentleman bought some MKS pedals, I believe they were the Bear Traps.<\/p>\n

All I learned about him that day was that his name was Jake from Canada, who loves MTBs and had a sick fit.<\/p>\n

A year later, I received a DM from someone saying that they will be coming to Japan and wanted to go for a bike ride. It was Jake.<\/p>\n

We met up at the store. Jake had brought two friends with him Etienne and Anthony who are the main dudes behind PUNKANDYO. This was quite a surprise for me and my inner skate rat self was freaking out that these two were right in front of me. It totally made sense why Jake was wearing that hoodie.<\/p>\n

We messed around and chatted in the shop. By the time they came to visit, we just had a huge Vans collab release and they took some goofy photos of me with this huge slip-on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is Jake.
\nHe sticker bombed on the glass door of the entrance of the Hatagaya store.<\/p>\n

“BoneshakerMTB”<\/p>\n

I first thought BoneshakerMTB was his local bike shop, but it turns out that it was a project he was starting. We decided a date for a bike ride and said goodbye.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ride day.<\/p>\n

The dude taking the picture is Jake, the dude with a peace sign is Balti, one of Jake’s homie and that tiny dude on the right is me.<\/p>\n

We met up with few of my friends and headed to Haneda Airport.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The two were smiling the whole time, which also made me happy.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

( I gotta start taking better photos whenever we have guests around…)<\/p>\n
