Dope Rides! | it's jdm yo!!!

Words Tony Lee and Photos by Nick Schultz

Yeah, it’s been a long as time since we’ve posted a feature so this one has 2 girls and 2 Ruckuses (or however you spell Ruckus in the plural form)! I’ve been planning this shoot for a while ever since Freddie and Kevin started building their Ruckuses from the 2010 VIP Fest. I really wanted to do a twist on the whole bikes and babes thing but translate it to the Ruckus crowd. I guess it’s not actually a twist but you get what I’m saying.

Anyways, we ended up making this a weekend trip to SD since Gilbert, Daizo, Nick Schultz, and I are from Orange County. We go there Saturday and scouted some locations and ended the day by visiting some hot foodie spots and just grubbin which was awesome. Favorite spot was some BBQ place I forgot the name of but place was packed but well worth the wait. The next day we headed to Auto Fashion to get set up. Girls arrived and we began by watching Natalie and Julie oil each other up with baby oil which was amazing…. I think going forward all our shoots will have girls in baby oil. Something about that shiny wet greasy look… Anyways, shooting was fun since hangin with the AF Fam is always a good time and Julie Mai and Natalie Bee are just fun to look at! And I gotta give the girls props for the location I chose. Shooting at the top of Mount Soledad is super cold and the girls were suffering but they stuck through it and those shots came out great even if we didn’t use a lot of them lol… Nick’s real picky about his work but it shows in his photos. And I gotta Thank Freddie and Kevin from Auto Fashion, Nick Schultz for the awesome photos, and the it’s JDM yo! staff Gilbert and Daizo for the bomb ass video and help. Okay enough of my words… ENJOY!
