Mini-ramp sessions from the Blaisdell trade show.

So that Big Boy's Toys show a couple of months back was pretty crazed. If you missed the pictures, they're down there a few posts back right before the Japan coverage from March. It's already been said but I'll say it again, the mini-ramp that was inside the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall was pretty much perfect. It was up for a whole weekend and was sessioned by many including Christian Hosoi, Jef Hartsel, Kale Sandridge, Ricky Stiles, Kele Rosecrans, Ken McGuire, and many others like me, Chad, Cuzzo, Chris Kays, two-time Game Of Skate champion Ian Okui, Aaron Lee, Silent Johnny, Danny, Matt, John Collins, I mean there were just a bunch of people ripping the shit all weekend long. Now there is a finally a nice video montage of the event courtesy of the new kid down at the APB shop in Chinatown. Young homie Conor has much skills behind the camera as well as on a skateboard, and he put this together for everyone to check out, so check it.



Also, for more of Conor's videos, including one featuring the incredibly underground killer Makiki loc Dominic nearly 360 flipping that one Stevenson triple set that Danny kickflipped in The Struggle video,(since then he's landed it we hear, can't wait to see that footage) check out his YouTube page. Yeah Conor!

You don't know us, fool. We just drained your pool.

I've always liked the way that statement sounds. Imagine! Some rich family in Kahala or Portlock goes away for a little vacation, maybe a week or so. Maybe they went skiing in Aspen or they took a Carribean cruise, who gives a shit where they went? The important thing is they weren't home for an extended period of time and in that time some vagabonds found out about their long-term abscence and decided to drain their swimming pool on the stealth tip.

Just straight up bum-rushed the property and emptied out their pool. Didn't break in and steal anything, and believe me there was probably a bunch of nice shit inside of that palatial estate worth gaffling, but the house per se was never even thought of in that manner. These villainous souls were only interested in the exterior, namely the beautiful swimming hole that was so conveniently shaped in the form of a right handed kidney.

I know a couple of guys like this.
One of them, I don't want to name names but let's just say that he's hated in the neighborhood, and there also happens to be a photo of himself skating a pool in the new issue of Slap, which just so happens to be the POOL ISSUE, a magazine which you should go out and purchase this very instant.



BIG UPS TO ALL THOSE WHO LIVE THE POOL SHARKING LIFE!
This post is for you.
Now take me to a nice peanut or amoeba.
Thank you.
