Our staff photographer, Jeremy Stephenson, is currently bashing his way through South America to accompany Nimh's posterboys Montre Livingston and Jon Jon Bolino.
Somewhere between the pure Colombian nature and the South American lifestyle package Montre and Jon shredded everything that crossed their way. Check out what went down during their first days in this beautiful country. And consider that this is just the beginning of the adventure!
Story, images and edit by Jeremy Stephenson
In early April, Jon Bolino, Montre Livingston, and Jero embarked on a Nimh Tour to South America. The scene below the equator is ripe and thriving right now, with over 1500 skaters in Bogota alone, the first stop of this trip. Over the next 3 weeks, you can look forward to seeing Jon and Montre shredding through Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
Jon Bolino in Bogota
Jon and Montre both arrived in Bogota Colombia already, and took some time to soak in the city's flavor, meet the locals, and see what the downtown skate scene has to offer. On a light night blade through the busy city streets, they both got plenty of tricks on everything in their paths. We're staying at an awesome hostel a few blocks from the presidents house, filled with travelers and musicians from all over the globe. One band staying here invited us to their live show that provided the soundtrack you hear in the edit. Everything is off to a great start.
Live show with some good friends from the hostel. Great set

I have to say thanks to jero. cuz besides to take the pics to pros, he's showing the nice part of south america. South america isn't only drugs and violence, is plenty of beauty things and people. and jero is showing that
bless the south americans cuz they're not brain washed by commercial skateboarding crap... So much potential there...
Companies should learn from The conference cuz they're about to shake the industry...
Great job Nimh
So glad to see so much coverage from South America, I've only seen a small piece of what the continent has to offer in person but it is amazing and definitely worth seeing.
