Kenny Brimer, homie, we gonna do it up – Deck the Halls. Stay Tuned.
My homie Starfish guy has been making major moves working with Pipedreams and also doing a lot of freelance work. Like all of us, payin dem dues. He let me in on his new line, called Champagne Dreams. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, i caught his vision, but for some reason i was thinking Affliction…NAH JOKE. Chek out this new shirt he is going to be releasing at Pipe D! I love the flip in this one, Getting that Bread Son! Check out WWW.THESTARFISHGUY.COM cop this shirt and lay the Pipe, heheh! Support.
Went to Maui for my wifes 30th! Koltrane flies free, gotta take advantage! Off wee gooo.
We got to fly to Maui in a star wars destroyer…nah but it kind of looks like it.
Once off the plane, we headed to Stillwell’s in Wailuku. This spot makes fresh bread on the daily. The sandwiches are the beast! I said best!
Chris at One-Eighty Board shop in Ka’ahumanu Mall. This is the only core shop on Maui. Chris has been supporting local skateboarding for over 5years. Big up to B-boy Brandon who also helps out the shop! Go check em out. cool braddahs.
Had to stop by the Creme. Everytime i step into a Kreme i feels like i am in Orange County – Huntington Beach.
The Hyatt, pimped out place with water falls, bridges, flamingos, ducks, luau shows, all the hoooahhhh!
I found a game room with this Gem, i remember playing this every day after my paper route, i regret not playing it at least once.
You are probably wondering wat the heck is this? The bag that lady has was designed by my homie Kama, this bag was every where. All the tourist had it. I hope Kama got a raise!
Isumu’s i think thats the name it was a Korean style sushi spot. The sushi had a korean flare to it. Good stuff.
Peggy Sue’s in Kihei, for a shake. Roselani Ice Cream runs Maui! Everyone only slang Rosie’s. I for one would open a Bubbies on Maui and battle Rosey!
Yes alot of eating went down, and the last spot to get murdered was DA KITCHEN. I rode the hype and it was decent. I mean it was good. I rather eat a Rainbows Mix plate.
The Basil Tomato at Ka’anapali. Good food, hella expensive, hot, but overall good. We were sitting next to 3 drunk old people talking about going to church on sunday. I hope thats not the Pastor and his wife.
Lightsleepers shirts at IN4MATION – PEARLRIDGE and on line @ WWW.ELESHAWAII.COM
If you never grew up in the 90’s and missed the mixed tape era, there are a bunch of cats that made the best mixes. One of those cats are G Bo the Pro and Double R. His tapes was on repeat all day up in the cassette deck. peep the tube. Knowledge drop!
I had to repost this one. When i first seen it on the www.oldeivory.com page i was taken aback and instantly texted Race, “Yo ad is supa dope, my ad sucks” I love the simple and impactful photo, that it actually makes me wanna skate. Raw front feebles on a ledge, wtf! feebs on a ledge is soooo Mike Carroll that you get mucho props from me and frontside, OHHHHH!
On the skate tip, In4 has opened up a new shop in Pearlridge and relocating all the skate to this shop! Whoa! Whats crazy is that means Crooks & Castles is coming to P-ridge, all my rich filipinos stand up, no fo’ real stand up, ohh you are standing up..nah joke. They also have a in-shop pro, Darin Lee, well not pro but top 10 ever from Hawaii. What yall know about Headside? Thats right OG son! Congrats guys good things to come & welcome back to the Westside.
Its been almost 3 years since i was apart of Protoype in P-ridge. I believed i put together one of the best up and coming skate teams; First person was Wes aka. P-rod, then Larry Upchurch aka the Prodigy, also the OG – Bronson Gregory, and rounding off with Killer Mike G aka Prince of Kaneohe. The Graff section was BANGING, and the artshows & writers benches were real – Pamala Young status (big up Lofa). Promotion was so money cuz Trip the Lights, Beatroot, & INERiTA was in full effect. Things changed and Life moves on. Learned a lot about the retail, fashion, politics, ownership, and all that Jazz. Props to P-type and all the Blessings to you, thank you for everything…Peace.
Haven’t posted a sk8 related one in a while, but when Lofa told me about this i had to check it out. J Webb, Mills vills finest goes for the mega ollie and while he tries to bail and kick his board out from him, i think one of his feet actually land on the board and the rest is pain history. Hope he has a quick and onehundred recovery.
Then you got Dys Oner, with his own montage. Stereo been showing Dyson nuthing but love since he been on that team. We gotta find Webb a team like that.
Matt Chaffin, this kid has always been a favorite of mine. Maybe cuz he really reminds me of the hey days of skateboarding. Baggy pants, shirts, fitted, and dope sneaks. His style is sweet too. Hawaiians doing it big.
I respect anyone that goes outs to bomb. Its crazy how ditches, backyards, and legal walls have become dues paid for a “writer”. For a while now kids been considering painting in ditches as putting in work and getting your ups. I always considered that as a sterile environment, if you go at the write time and roll with the right people its all good. From the ugly and sloppy to the clean and visual, this real american hero award goes to you. REEEALLLL AMMERRICANN HEROOOOO!
Did you know that KTUH had a free showing of their 40th anniversary documentary? I guess not too many people did. Well, i don’t know if i am out of the loop but i didn’t really see a huge push for the showing. Which is a bummer cuz i know for a fact that at we could of packed that theatre easy. Oh well, maybe thats the way KTUH wanted it, quaint and special.
Really ill instrumental in the begin. Overall i thought the begining and the birth of KTUH was exellent. I love the old pictures and video. The interviews with the OG Dj’s is priceless. Also, the vast information was a geek fest for KTUH peeps. There was alot of information , interviews, and events missing in the Doc, but seriously what do you expect when the producers made this in 1 semester, with borrowed equipment, and for free. Mad respect for all the hard work they put in. Mahalo.
There they are the brain children of this dope doc. Respect guys, i would love to see what yall could of done with a year or so. Peace
Check it out, i decided to show the back of the Super Mark Duper shirts we made to thank the Blue Scholars.
This Back is the one with the LIGHTSLEEPERS on the front, the original lyrics. Blue Scholars got our back!
And of course this is the back of the shirt that has BLUE SCHOLARS on the front, LIGHTSLEEPERS got their back! Done. You want one? Click here!
After putting the keed to sleep, i made it down to the Loft for the first of 2 Oahu shows. I had no idea that i was supposed to Introduce them. What an honor, thanks guys. This pic is in the Artist only room? Basically, a room that no one can be in. Yes, VIP.
The crowd came out in droves and showed mad love. For some reason SEA heads were in attendance. Also big ups to Bambu (pull it back, squeeze the triggah), Creed, and Taasho! Later that weekend i went to this…
Bigs ups to my brother Kalen for marrying such a cool women, she flies refuling planes for the miliatry and she was in Hawaii for the Thunder Birds. We got to watch the show from the cockpit of her plane. Honestly, X-box looks more hi-tech than these massive flying machines. I guess i expected lazers and touch screen joints, too much District 9.
The coolest thing was when one of the planes did a tail drag right above us, if i had a roman candle i could blast it, BOOM.
Big ups to THNK for the flick. This was taken at a 808 Giants event @ the old Source in Pucks Alley. These were the days when MC cyphers were HOT i mean vicious. There were battles but it was a combination of style, cadence, punctuality, punchlines, and flow. Now a battle is a only racial slurrs, yah momma sex jokes, and slam poetry. The worst part is now the battles are organized writtens, talented none the less, but i love the freestyle battles. I remember when EP and i would drive into down to go to an event or KTUH to lurk outside, we would freestyle from the Stadium to the destination. I don’t know if any other freestyle session would consist of this, but we used to try and rhyme: only the first words, only the last words, only the middle word, one word rhymes, every other word, and a gang of other styles. What happen to the styles. *sigh* LIVICATED TO EP! Miss you mang!
