	Mags New ads. Rob Gonzalez has an ad in the November 2005 Slap Magazine and the December 2005 Skateboarder Magazine. Brian Brown has an ad in the December 2005 Thrasher and an Adio ad in the same mag. Colombia! Hot off the presses! The Colombia tour article is out in the new Skateboard mag! That was the most amazing trip! Colombia was one of the best countries I have ever been to and Toya's family hooked us up! It happened to fall on my birthday so I wanted to say Thanks to the Toya family for making my birthday the best birthday I have had since I was 10. Dinner and birthday cake! I didn't expect anything like that. It was fun to see Humphries and Brian getting down on the dance floor that night to some salsa.

It ended on a good note, since Miami was our final city. Everyone loves Miami and I would have to say that the pawn shop is a good club to check out on a Thursday night. They have a mini ramp session there on that night of the week and who ever rips it the hardest gets a free bar tab, so I guess it actually works out for everyone. Joel Meinholtz is the mastermind behind this club's success and he has a few other things going on down there. So depending on what night of the week you are there, he'll hook you up with the right place to be. Rodrigo left our east coast tour early to finish up a Nike Brazil tour. From the Nike Brazil tour, he had to go to Barcelona to meet up with Rob G and the LRG team for a 3 week Euro tour. From that LRG tour, he is meeting up with the Nike team again next week for a 2 week trip to Mallorca. He will finally be back in the states just in time for Thanksgiving. Danny went on a last minute trip to Lebanon with Steve Nesser and world traveler Kenny Reed. What would a trip be to Beirut without Kenny Reed? For those who don't know, Lebanon is a sketchy country and I'm sure there will be some good stories about this trip. Stay tuned for that one. Contests Jamiel Nowparvar won his home town hero’s contest in Minneapolis which got him out to the big home town hero’s contest during the goofy vs. regular contest at the Sole Tech park. Unfortunately Jamiel rolled his ankle while skating the streets of LA a few days before the damn am contest, so he skated his contest runs switch. We'll see a healthy Jamiel at Tampa Am in January. Jose Pereya made it out to Damn am which also happened to be his first contest ever. Brian Brown was there too. Damn Am is always a good time and the dunk tank was going off as usual. Check www.damnam.com for the story and pictures. Videos Free Adio DVD! If you haven't seen this video yet, you are sleepin! Its good and its free!
