I like birds. They are free to go everywhere, there is no traffic jam or stupid car races. I wish I can fly like a birds and just feeling wind to go somewhere.

this is another bike ride adventure Me and Dane did on June28th -July 1st( Canada day), from Victoria BC to Tofino BC.it was definitely great time, we were always smiling and talking some funny stuff, that made us more fun time while we were on this trip.

on 28th we biked Victori to Nanaimo, but we took ferry from Blentwood bay to Milbay, the ferry was ok and we had a rain it was not too too bad,when we got Nanaimo we had a place to stay it was so nice and that makes our trip better because we don’t have top bring a tent . Thank you so match Jayden!!

On 29th we biked Nanaimo to Portalberni it was about 80KM bike ride , the road was not so good, because biked on the highway and rained in the morning, we stopped Coombs on the way to P.A it was very intersting town I want to visit again.

At Portalberni we camped at campsite, Brandon help us to stay at Collins farm, camping was fun even we didn’t have a tent, but we had good time at the campsite. also Portalberni is home of instrumental skateboards thank you so match Brandon.

On 30th this day was chillest ride of this trip, because we took ferry from downtown P.A to Ucluelet, it takes 5hours to arrival Ucluelet but we had great time on the boat, the ferry goes narrow river to ocean, the view was amazing so many great mountains and trees , it was worth more then $40 for sure.

when we get to Ucluelet we went to Ucluelet bowl to skate and meet up with all Victoria boys , they were already in Tofino on 28th, we had rad skate session at the park, and got drunk haha.

Then last our bike ride was actuary hardest ride of this trip, but only 33km from Ucluelet I think we were just tired and drunk, that is way last ride was hard for me.

Then when we got in Tofino, we were so stoked to made this trip, and it was very fun and the party time began in Tofino!!

This trip was lots of learning about peoples roots and history of Vancouver island skate board scene for me, also I had a great team mate Dane, if I went by my self I couldn’t make it this trip.

Thank you Dane for coming to this trip and being great team mate, lets go another trip soon!

On April 1st 2013, We (Koji from Japan) and (Fabian from Chile) went on a trip to  Portland, Oregon by bicyle, carrying tents, skateboards, cameras, and enough stuff for 2 weeks on the back of our bikes and pedaled very hard in very rainy conditions for this 1100 km round trip. The trip all started with "Do you wanna go on a bike trip with me?" which Fabian asked me and I answered just like " oh sick fuck yeah", so I think this is the origin of our trip. However, while we discussed each other plans for this trip, and it becoming seriously gradually, which has led to the realization. We did not have any experience on a bicycle touring trip other than reading blogs and tips from friends that have done it, the destination seemed very far and we had no idea what was going to happen between Victoria and Portland, the fact that we were slightly scared is certain. However, expectations were much higher and skateboarding can be more exciting in the new land, that drove the excitement of us to the trip. Of course, we had to train to figure out what we were capable of, cycling the 20-30 Km before work every morning, it was going on for over a month of riding. Day of departure we had only 3 hours of sleep because of how nervous we were, but we met up at Fabian's house at 6am, and we had a huge stake and eggs meal to ready for the trip, the start point was at Sitka, we got some product from them before leaving. We were so stoked to go on the trip this morning. This is how Filthychiliasian journey was began, 18 days about 1100km total.
