I just had the pleasure of hanging out in California with Motomatic while they were building 25 Sapporo Mopeds. I have been working on the Sapporo Summer Promotion with some folks here at Moose for a few months now. Sapporo is launching these mopeds to win in a Facebook Photo Contest. Starts this Memorial day. So if you want to win one of these, take some killer photos this weekend and you have a good chance.

In the meantime, please watch these videos I put together. I brought my 60d with me to California and put together this little documentary. Got to roll with the Land Squids and they even loaned me a 70mph moped.

Please take a few minutes and watch the video documentary. Please pass it on as well. Put together on a teeny tiny budget, shot with my canon and assembled over the last week and a half. Hopefully you can see how much passion the guys put into the project.





I soaked up some California sun and rolled with the Land Squids for a few days. Not a bad gig!

Thanks to Sapporo for embracing creativity and subculture. 25 of these custom mopeds are being created. You also have the chance to win your own.

Visit facebook.com/​sapporousa to win this in a photo contest. Begining May 30. Launches This Monday!

Someday, when there is less going on at work and at home... This will be my Gatlinburg travel blog. In the meantime, please look at these photos from myself and Monica.







Monica: Canon AE-1

And I am blogging. The future is cool. This will be a half blog all about my trip to Sacramento. The other half, about how the entire city smells like flowers will come later.



Spent the week hanging out with the MOTOMATIC dudes. Super cool California folks who build some of the raddest vintage custom mopeds that you will ever see. Dudes cool enough to hook us up with two mopeds that will go 70 mph for the day. Nice way to spend a work trip.









Met a lot of good folks from the Land Squids. Shame I was so tired I couldn't make it to Karaoke that night. These layovers after a full work day kill me. That is my excuse. I'm sticking with it. Not that I am getting old and no longer exercise. Not that eating pizza 4 days a week has anything to do with it.

Back in town just in time to turn around and visit Gatlinburg. May is going to be a pretty good month.

Battery dying now. Just enough juice to piece this video together and post this blog. The end.
