As most know I had the chance to visit the Oliva factory and spend some time in the NUb Room with Sam Leccia. The most gracious host are the the family of Olivas. Spending time with Carlos, Gilberto, and Sam was simply a blast.
Carlos Oliva will keep you laughing and seeing how he keeps a strict eye on quality reminds me to always try my best. Gilberto Oliva is truely a joy to speak with and can teach you more in a 2 hour drive about life in general than you can believe. Then you have Sam Leccia the man with the NUb plan, what can I say more than it truely was a fun time brother.
Well I finally got all the pictures edited and here they are for others to get a small glimpse into the NUb Life. From Birth as a leaf to the production in the NUb Room. I plan on completing the videos soon after a bit more tweaking.

I can roll some at the events for those that want one...but i wouldn't expect any to go into production any time soon. They take too long to roll. I just like to have fun and get creative.
