It’s beautiful here, the water is nice. I think it’s very green here, lots of landscaping,
lots of people and everyone seems very nice, and makes you feel you are at home.
When I got here, the locals of the place warned me about a story that goes around.
They said… that if you are a foreigner with a pure heart and a pure soul, you will immediately
fall in love of the place; you fall in love of the people, the colors and the passion
that surrounds the area, but be carefully they told me. If the place loves you in return,
you will get lost and you will never come back.
Trajinera, is pretty much a wooden boat, its pretty basic, a Trajinera colors are very
bright, I like bright colors so I like them, It could be yellow red, turquoise, typically
bright colors, very noticeable, very Mexico style, I like it.
Trajinera Jumpers is an idea that red bull had for us to come here and come to this area,
you know in Mexico city there is not a whole lot of water, no places to wakeboard and wake
skate so, it´s a very unique place and has a lot of history and stuff so to be able to
bring some modern action sports to a traditional Mexican area is what the idea was, so we built
so rails on top of the boats and we are gonna hit them like we do at home and bring it down
to Mexico city.
just excited to go out there and give it a shot, I have never try to do this before so
very different for me but kind of cool and I never hade done a winch before, so that
will be interesting.
So then I came down a couple of month ago and we designed the rails over the boats and
we wanted to make some features that would be kind of easy to hit but also that look
still look that the natural landscape that goes on here everyday so we just try to make
it look as natural as possible but also have a modern rails and kickers and stuff, so it’s
what are used to hitting but in a more traditional setting.
You know I am taking home a lot of fun memories today, we got to hit some fun rails and ended
up being a place where you don’t get to normally wakeboard or wakeskate, so to be
able to come down and to do that was exciting and I think we have good time. Everyone that
was riding have a good time, so hopefully we put a good show for everybody and we can
come back and do it again some time I would say what I will be taking home is
just been able to tell stories and to say this was my first time I was able to hit a
winch and do a rail jam, like ever, so here in Mexico it was definitely my first rail
jam and it was a lot of fun and to see Grubb go out and to see him pulling some tricks
and to do some myself was very cool and I felt I got something accomplished
Phil Collins once said, I see your true colors and that is why I love you, but I think he
never made it to Xochimilco. Other wise he would have written, this is Xochimilco, and
this is why I love you. Damn I love this place
