I've been blowing it with updating this site so I decided to make some minor changes to it. As always, it still remains a work in progress. The change revolves mainly around the video page. Here's an edit I made to reciprocate for cruising too much.
Oh yeah, nothing is in the store, the button is more for show... for now.
Kaloe is officially free from the confines of Hawaii's failing public education system. Congratulations and welcome to the real world bruddah. Congrats to the rest of the graduating class of 2010 too.
This is a prime example of how skate videos should be made. This captures the essence of skateboarding, which to me is cruising with your friends and having fun. No gimmicks, no bullshit. It's a rare treat now days for me to watch a video that actually gets me hyped on skating and make me want to go skate and film shit.
Here's a new part I found of Paul Battlay. He visit's Maui on occasional summers and is a pretty cool dude to hang out. Hopefully we'll see him this summer.
I made this edit a couple months ago. It's footage of a bunch of dudes from Texas I met while living in California back in 2007. They are really, really, really good at skateboarding.
Nathan's been getting gnar since arriving back on Maui three Mondays ago. This is not a very good example of it. There's been a lot of cruising in between the gnar that's why. A lot. I think it's in a moke's blood to cruise at least 80 hours of the week (not including sleep). That, or there's just not that much to do here so they're forced to cruise. Either way, I don't know when you'll get to see the gnar, but your mind will be melted when you do.
Ryan decided to end his Hawaiian holiday early and jetted back to California. He still got a bunch of footage while he was here, but you'll have to wait to see it. He's saving his footage this time around.
Last year I had exactly 50 posts since changing over to blogger. That seems like a little within the span of 365 days, but the truth is nothing really goes on in Maui. Quality content is hard to come by. Making something out of scraps is pretty difficult and the end product is usually just bullshit, as most blog posts are. Regardless if you actually enjoy it or not, it still accomplishes its mission to kill time. Everything we do kills time until we inevitably end up six feet under. No matter your path in this life, from the moment we enter this world, we grow up, go to school, go to work, experiment, blah blah blah, then die. A pessimistic view, yes. A realistic view, yes. Bullshit, yes. Does it matter, not really. I'll start this new year with more blah.
Kaloe from '93 till infinity. Not really, actually '04 to summer '09.
Ryan executes skateboarding stunts in this montage by the Skate Nazi. There's a bunch of other local braddahs, or Mokes as I like to say, up in the mix. Speaking of local braddahs, I came across this clip of Sean Payne killing it in Think's Free at Last. 8 years old and still mind blowing...
The year is starting off good for me, we'll see what it has in store for us.
