Have you ever felt the harsh conditions of extreme humidity? I’m talking about going outside and your t-shirt is abruptly wet from your sweat and your hair can’t dry. I’m also talking about feeling nasty no matter what you do. It really sucks. Well if you really want to know what that feels like you may join the Momentum Wheels team, Chris Haslam, Corey Sheppard, Ted Degros and Magnus Hanson for their mega skate tour of Japan.

Obviously you can’t actually join them but you can read about their experiences dealing with unbearable heat on the Momentum Skate Blog. I read a little bit of what they had to say and it seems like their main objective is to beat the heat. My advice to them or anyone else planning to tour Japan or any other humid drenching country is to avoid their summers. I bet Chris Haslam regrets having that grizzly thing of a beard on his face right now.

For one of the better team tours this summer, hang out with the Globe team for a gnarly skate demo and team signing as they come to a town near you (that is only if you live in California).  Some of skateboarding’s most technical skaters will be on board including Mark Appleyard, Chris Haslam, Rodney Mullen, Greg Lutzka, and David Gonzalez.  The tour will start on the same date as the 10th Annual Transworld Skateboarding Awards on June 13th and will go on until June 21st, which is Go Skateboarding Day. 

You also have an opportunity to win a pair of Globe Shoes from its new Puzzle Series Ltd by entering here.  You will need to know your Globe trivia so you better refresh memory by watching your Globe clips. Winners will receive one pair of the Puzzle Series Ltd sneakers in their size and will be able to choose from eight different colorways.  You must answer all three questions correctly to win.
