Hi everybody!~
Figured I'd take the time to introduce myself right away since I initially thought I'd registered and so forth, which I apparently hadn't, contrary to what I'd told Brad in person this past weekend. Regardless I'm registered to this site now and that's what really matters right?
Anyways, I'm Hiro, it's my real/nick name as my first is generic, and while in high school there were literally 16 or so in the entire school and 6 within my circle of friends. Needless to say rather than deal with confusions or have people call me by my longer Japanese last name, we defaulted to my middle/Japanese name. I hail from the allergy plagued Vancouver British Columbia, Canada.
I'm on this site mostly because of Bey Brad, who ran a WBO Panel/Event/Epic Tournament of Pwn at my local convention, Anime Evolution of which I'm a PR Rep for. I'm also an ex-blader, though of the extremely non-competitive type, but I still enjoyed it as a hobby, more importantly, I enjoyed customization. While in it's prime out here in BC at least, I did custom paint jobs as well as hobby/non-competitive launcher modifications. At one point I made my own parts via resin and sometimes fibreglass. I have no intention of getting back into the hobby as my time has diminished greatly since my middle school days, but occasional cosmetic modifications still greatly interest me. In fact, right after I picked up my first of the new type of beyblade, a Storm Pegasis model, and returned home with it post-con, I went right to work on a light paint job and cosmetic Launcher modification.
Here's a picture of them both :3
Relik and the Maverick Shooter V1
Anyways, I hope to get to know the rest of you more and maybe get to explore the more competitive sides of beyblades more too :3
