” We just got married in Korea, I live in China and my husband is going to start a humanitarian mission in Afghanistan. There is nothing for me to do there, nor am I allowed to go to live there. I hope I can find a job for the same american Corporation I work for, in Pakistan, that would allow me to see my husband easier than from Asia. We plan to live separated for one year, then we will see.”
When I asked Kiro how she felt about being just married and knowing she would live by herself for one year, seeing her husband from time to time every two three months, she believed that travelling all around the world for her job would help them go through that challenging journey. Her smile and her eyes behind the dark glasses seemed to say ” hope we are making the good choices”

” My Dad was always building or welding something, whether it be an addition to the house or a piece of furniture. I wanted to help him build extra rooms of the house too, but I was only 8; maybe that desire to build stayed with me from so long ago. My sculptures are like 3-D painting, combining video, sculpture and lights, even sometimes water and smell, they capture a place and people at a specific time of history. I try to do this with sensitivity to foreign cultures, shining a light on the little seen corners.””
Tracey has her amazing studio in Oakland, where she creates art pieces shown in exhibitions all over the world. Tracey wanted to clean her studio before my visit, she was nice enough not to clean it too much.

“The first time we tried to freeride, we used our ski gloves, I even tried the garderner gloves from my Dad; we decided to stop doing only freestyle, to find the adrenaline, the sensations, the speed we were looking for while descending the long streets of San Francisco. SF is the best city worldwide for freeriding, streets are never ending, there are not too many cars, the bitumen is good quality, and the landscape is amazing, sunset on Ocean Beach, hills and blue sky…”
Benjamin, Justin and Oscar are three French teenagers that value their team, the “Ride Dudes”, as being inspired by the professionals they admire the most in San Francisco, the “Sunset Sliders”; being part of a team pushes them go beyond their fear and find new challenges, just like the Marin Headlands they freerided today.
