Kaloe and I flew out to Oahu a couple weeks ago to skate and check out the In4mation contest at Hickam. To our dismay, I contracted the Norwalk virus a couple hours before my flight, then I gave it to Kaloe after we touched ground. Luckily the virus only hung around until Sunday... So all-in-all, the weekend was full of shit, but we did manage to skate a little and witness some amazing skateboarding.
Miles did so much tricks first try, I mistimed almost everyone of them. This 360 flip almost escaped me.
I was surprised to see Nathan was the only one to hit this side of the hubba. Wallie-5050.
The contest forgot about Kaloe, but Miles earned a spot in the finals. I wonder what Tim is pondering?
Probably first try as well. Miles killed it.
Miles claiming his 5th place shwag. It was a fun contest to watch. To hell with individual runs.
After the contest, we went to Waikiki and enjoyed the sunset with the homeless.
Kaloe is on a mission to get to Australia, but he's stuck on this beautiful rock indefinitely. In between planning his escape and getting artsy, I've been documenting him maneuver his skateboard around our home.
I actually had this edit ready about a month ago, but my computer was getting looked at, not fixed, just looked at. Problems are still persisting so the next update will be a surprise to me as well. Better late than never I guess.
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.
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.
Another semester came to a close and I've officially entered cruise mode for the next couple weeks. Now I can start focusing more on ranking up in COD: MW2.
This guy is back home for Christmas holiday and maybe some time after. Filming will ensue given that nothing bad happens to me or my camera.
Watch Adrian Adrid's part from Recipe for Happiness. The video has been out for a while now, but someone I subscribe to finally uploaded it to youtube.
In regards to the title name, Sam Peralta sent me a loving e-mail telling me I should update this site more so he can stare at his computer for longer periods of time and so he can reminisce about Maui while he's cruising in Australia. So this post is for you Sam. I would promise more posts to come, but I might get trampled on Friday.
we were skating this ledge because kaloe had unfinished business with it. darren was trying to think of a trick to do so i suggested he try back blunt frontside flip. he said he's never done that trick before in his life. about an hour later he landed one. this made me question the validity of his statement. then i remembered he's darren tsue.
Kaloe's, Alex's, and Erik's(no preview, your gonna have to see it in person!) art will be displayed publicly and legally this Saturday at One Eighty Boardshop. Stop by and support them before you go to partake in other brain melting activities.
