Write about the spinning world could be more boring that speak about my illnesses. The other day i read this "Creativity - closely entwined with mental illness", a must read article just incase you feel out of the society as i do.

But, yes i can't sleep, but this is because i went to sleep last night at 7 in the morning and i woke up today at 3 in the afternoon, plus the coffe i should never took tonight (and maybe have not ever had in my house...), and many thoughts and crazy ideas...

This long weekend in Spain with 4 "free days" i have been doing many things, i traveled up to León looking for the sun to shoot some photos for www.iberobike.com, i went to a concert, i rode a bit with the bike, also played some hours of paddle (yes i play paddle to have fun with my friends sometimes), went out to party all night long, and many more thing... I gave my 100% in all the things i did this long weekend as i always like to do, but not on one of them. I think because it was so important.

Time will pass, and my mind will turn to other things. Maybe this is the best idea, but maybe this is the worst too.

I took many nice photos up there, the place was just wonderfull, you can see some of them at my Flickr or www.iberobike.com in a few days.

The main reason why i haven't wrote here in seven months could be the time, but i have had time to do it, i think.
I could say also that im tired of writing because i do it everyday on other webs and magazines, and that i pass most of the time of my days sitting in front off the computer. But no, thats not the reason.
In this seven months i have done millions of things, traveled, taken nice photos and videos, started new projects and so... And i have known lots of new people, most of them nice persons.
And what does it has to do with write on the blog or not to write?. I think i know the reason, and i have been avoiding for some weeks.
I need something that change my day by day, and make me come here and write. This thing normally is a bad thing, but not always.

I am an open mind in all the ways you can imagine, but i am a closed one in one important thing in life, that thing is to "accept" other get in to my "day by day". You can call it bad past experiences, fear, to not be on the same level, or whoever know...
And here is the other big problem, that as a closed mind on this aspect, the few ocasion that life present to me and could know really nice people, i always ruined before i can "open the doors", and i miss the oportunity...
I know i can live on my own forever, but i hate when the oportunity pass in front of me and i leave it escape.
I know things happen because a reason, and i know this train only will pass one time in life, there are no similar trains like this, and if i am who has gone in to the station by myself, is because i should take that train now and discover where it can go and what it has to show to me.

The post photo was taken a few years ago in Åland (Finland), at the coast of Geta, from the house of my ex girlfriend. What a wonderful place!

We all know that the world is really crazy nowdays, but what not many know is that it is they who feed this madness every day, from birth to death. I am included too.

I've always said and always done, I do not live to work, and i dont work for living. For a long time, I worked on what I wanted and I liked it. This does not mean that were easy or pleasant job, just work that I wanted to do because I believed in it, because it seemed enriching, or simply because I liked. And I will continue doing.
The only problem with this is that some people believe that, to not caring about the money, anything goes.
I will Keep doing what I like, I earn more or less, but I will live my way of life.

I read this the other day, and i think this "most people" from the first line of this post, should read carefully, and them move on.

"Worrying is stupid. It's like walking around with an open umbrella waiting for rain"

Still there are people (and always be) that doesnt understand that i dont want to do it right. Right is a word that cant be used for everything, and less when we are speaking about art. I dont want any of my photos (or any other thing) looks like... And yes, i can learn from everybody, but learn doesnt mean make the same as you do.
Some people could likes my photos, some other not. The photos could be good or bad, in many ways, but they are not taken to be liked for everybody, they are taken as i like to do it and this is why i show them.

Be different is what makes you unique.

2012!

PD. PLAY IT ON HD 1080P AND PUT YOUR SPEAKERS VERY LOUD

Our Bike Park in "Madrid" has opened this winter because of snow lack. It was a surprise for us, as a christmas present, so we have to fix all the broken trails and get ready in one day for the winter opening for the bikes.

It will be open until the snow fall again, and now you can see skiiers and bikes on the lifts. They use the snow canyon line and we use all the forest lines.

Crazy too because we are riding every day, not only at the bike park and taking lot of photos.

We have had the visit these days of photographer Victor Lucas for a special Madrid shooting, and we went to ride some of the trails we love, La Pinilla, Tres Cantos and Rivas. We didnt have time for more, maybe next time.

New projects are comming since now, we wont stop, 2012 is the year.

Victor Lucas shooting Yuriy Tomas at Rivas trails

By the way, now im writing "christmas" in english, it contains a name or word that i dont like much, Christ. And the translate to spanish is "Misa de Cristo". So fuck off Christmas and all about church and religions!!!

I am right now in madrid, dont know for how long. I have been out traveling a lot this past days. I went to south spain and also to Morocco. It was my first time at Africa. I went to shoot for the mag for 4 days with a really nice weather, near 20º during the day. The life in Morocco is a bit different from Spain, and there are only a few meters of distance between them.

At home i have been riding and diggin mostly everyday, now that at the mountains is a bit cold and snowy.

Shooting here and there, and with lot of projects that i can achieve because of the time and money too. I wanted, and want, to go on holidays for a week to somewhere warm, but apart of canary island, the other places are a bit expensive right now.

So, fucking christmas time in Madrid!

The first photo is from Morocco. It is incredible nice for mountain biking. Green and really high mountains there. Dont forget it is the top north of Africa.

And this photo is one of some photos i took this weekend riding at home with friends.

We also recorded some lines with the go-pro. I was riding a rally bike, so dont wait high speed there.

Also, the 90% of the mag photos are taken by me.

The past weekend i went to La Fenasosa Bike Park, and i will go again this too. Next week more travels, i will go down to Africa for 5 days of shoot and ride

Keep On!

Tomorrow we will go again to the mountains to try some jumps we have done this week. Hope it doesnt rain.

Ahh, i have new lenses for my camera, so maybe you can apreciate a better quality on the upcoming photos...

Now more studio photos... we are crazy!

A few words are enough.

Time goes by, and maybe i am missing true things behind me that i should take care of them. I know how i am and i know how rude i can be. Sometimes i can control it, and other times i dont see it. So there is a thing to check here, and it doesnt mean to change anything, but maybe try to see this things more times...
I'll try.

We have started to work again at the mountains some days ago. Wind, cold, rain, snow, mud, long walks, dirt... but we have a really good times there.

Keep on!

"Anything that you want, you can get, just put yourself to the test,
And anything you believe that you can achieve, try, you will succeed,
And if you don't succeed, then you know that you got to go and try again,
And if you ever get down low, pick up your chin and put your head to the sky again."
