    Pismo Beach Fun | RO Explore

     Slowly most of us in Royal Origin are converting from slammed cars to lifted trucks and off roading. What an extreme change.. I know, but I guess we’re over scraping and we actually like climbing over big trails and rocks. When it comes to off-roading, camping goes hand in hand, so we decided to go to Pismo Beach to camp and try out Chivas’s new RZR. dsc00417

    We got to Pismo at 1 AM and my Venza got stuck in the stand. Did you know the Venza doesn’t have tow hooks? What the fuck right? Chivas had to pull me out of the stand by my suspension.

    The next morning we got to work on our camp site.

    So awesome that you can camp right on the beach, the sound of the waves is so soothing.

    Loved the campfire vibes. The vibes were so good that Vince fell asleep.

    dsc00566

    The next morning we had a photo shoot of Chiva’s 4Runner and damn it looked good next to the waves.

    dsc00586

    Man I want one.

    dsc00625

    On our way back home, we stopped by Oxnard for Topper’s Pizza. A must try if you’re ever in this area.

    Until next time…

     Summer’s ending and what’s a better way to bring in the fall season than to have a bonfire? Good thing it was Hayle and Kyren’s birthday, so I didn’t have to plan anything. The party started at 2:00PM, but the real fun didn’t start until night time when everyone decided to come.dsc08682

    I love looking at fires. Not sure why..

    Had the chance to shoot Shavi’s M30 before he was going to redo his exhaust. He recently just finished his M30 and a problem came up where his exhaust hung too low. He wanted to get some shots of it scraping before he went to the exhaust shop to install his new exhaust and some small rolling shots became a full on street fire works show. Check it out here..
