POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It’s been a long minute since I’ve posted. As you can see I’ve been a ghost for the past 5 years. I pop in and out from time to time, but mostly just hiding behind my own curtains in plain view. I was in disguise by putting on a happy face but in reality just playing tug a war within, to find myself. To navigate my life map I subconsciously numbed myself by keeping the party going. That is until a year ago today…

Since Thanksgiving is in a few days, I wanted to reflect on what I am most thankful, grateful and blessed for.

As most of you don’t know but this time last year on Thanksgiving day I hit the nail on the head with my health which almost laid me out for good. I had an Aortic Dissection which put me in cardiac arrest, emergency surgery, then on life support with respiratory issues for 12 days. Took me another 20 days, 32 in all to recover enough to get out of the hospital. Even though family did not have a far reach, the closest to me knew, and thankfully came and spoke to me while I was negotiating with death during those 12 days. They were all there to fight hard for me and with me. These brothers and sista I will forever cherish… @wo_914 @bentley_greggg @jkbentley1 @mmancini2006 @sunkai_pan @willchen916 @lloera4 @chemist1947

Now as I hit the hard reset button with life. I’m cruising through the pits to get back on the track and join the race. I will win my own race! I’m just glad that I didn’t take myself for that one last ride…I’m blessed. by @fatkidj

A couple photos I took of ET3 at the opening round of Pro Motocross at Fox Raceway this year.

Hard to believe we’re nearing the final gate drops of one of the greatest to ever do it.

For years I’ve watched ET3 do what he does. When that BEAST MODE switch came on, his flow and combinations were insane. He did some of the most technical, controlled, over-the-top shit on a dirt bike and won six championships along the way.

Thanks for everything you gave to Supercross and Motocross. You helped define an era, inspired a generation, and made BEASTMODE what it is.

Every design has a story.

This year’s 20-year anniversary design was inspired by the streets, culture, and creativity that shaped SPOCOM from the beginning.

See you at the Season Opener!

How I move these days.

A few weeks ago, I took myself on another solo ride. Less about the destination, more about moving with intention. Staying in my own lane and moving at my own pace has brought a different kind of peace.

I’ve been on this solo ride for a while. Not every mile, not every day, but enough to hear the rhythm of my own steps. I’ve learned that solitude isn’t emptiness. It’s where I’ve grown, adapted, and found comfort in my own company.

And yet, not every stretch is solo. Some moments are shared, some journeys intertwined. In the balance of alone and together, I’ve discovered that I’m exactly where I need to be. #tableforone #solo #creative #aimeleondore #ronniesnyc taken in West Hollywood, California by @fatkidj

CONCEPT DIRECTION
A peek into part of the creative process. Finding my flow, shaping the concept direction, and laying out the key visuals that help bring an idea to life. New venue. New shirt. New chapter. This is me. by @fatkidj

Been moving SOLO for a minute now, and honestly, I’ve grown to enjoy it. Revisiting the spots that inspire me, discovering new ones, and moving through the city at my own rhythm.

Sometimes you just move through the city and let it give something back. #ridingsolo #aimeleondore #creativesontherise #w220 #rennenwheels taken in West Hollywood, California by @fatkidj

888SOBER

888 has always been tied to wealth in the Asian culture

But somewhere along the way, the definition changed for me.

Rich isn’t measured in numbers.
It’s health.
Clarity.
Quiet mind.
And most importantly, happiness.

There’s still noise that finds its way in through the hustle. But more and more, I choose stillness.

And that’s worth everything. #soberfatkid by @fatkidj

My last post of 2025.

After years of watching from a screen, this year I finally stood trackside. My first Formula 1 race, lights cutting through the Vegas night, everything louder, faster, more real than I ever imagined.

A true highlight of the year, and maybe even one of those rare moments you carry for life. Thanks for the invite @r_i_o_m_a_a

2025 asked for patience in ways I didn’t expect. There were complications, quiet doubts, and slow stretches, but also refinement, progress, and the familiar pull of building something again, hoping it finds its moment.

This year reminded me why I keep showing up, for the passion, the process, and the belief that timing matters just as much as effort.

Grateful for the highs, respectful of the lows, and ready for what’s next. by @fatkidj
