Pre-Japan Sunday Shralp.

I left for Japan on a Tuesday, this shit was from Sunday right before the trip.


Me and my ranking #1 man went shopping for postcards in Chinatown.


Not gonna fall for a banana in the tailpipe.


This one was for my girl Jaime Reyes in New York. All-over 80's print speedo action. So hot right now.


For my man Chane Lokesta in Chicago. He likes them big body giiirrls!


Private screening.


Ever get the feeling you were being watched?


Shoe nerds wet dream.


The Captain is down with APB, has been since day one.


I gave Chad a kiss all the way from Hershey, Pennsylvania one time.


Rob Carlyon went back in time, rocking the 1991 steelo.


Can you name all of the dudes on the cover of the first APB video? If you can, you just might be O.G.


Kenneth on some slim-fast shit like 8 years ago.


Circa 2001, Chad and Darin Lee were editing the second APB video, lowercase. Me, Chane, Kenny, Chad, Darin, and Rob all lived in the same apartment building, a.k.a. The Dormitory directly across the street from the Makiki skatepark. Rob could actually watch people skate from his bedroom window. That was either really rad, or extremely lame, I don't remember.


Around that same time, these dudes took a trip to Maui to go shred. L to R we have a Pre-fight club Rob Carlyon, a ponytailed stickman Kenny Brimer, the now missing in action Neal Nagata, who many still consider to have been the raddest skater in APB history, an insanely jiggy and baggy videographer Chad Hiyakumoto, and an equally wiggery and youthful looking Colonel Kyle Collins.


The ultimate flashback. Peep the long hair, flipped up trucker, flannel, sweatpants, Vision Street Ghost, Swatch watch, ahhh...enough already. This was my senior in high school steez. A loooooong time ago.


But then again, you always have to be diggin' in the crates for the classics. 1994, New Deal Children Of The Sun video. Boys from the APB squad doin' big things back then! Haven't seen this? Get a late pass! Or just watch this YouTube shit right 'chea... Our man Rob with the opening part:



And then last but not least, the man, the myth, Cuzzo from Fitted Hawaii, Rene Matthyssen himself with the curtains.
That's last part if you're retarded:


Good to know your history if you weren't there to live it!


Back to the modern day grind. Kenneth shows his love for the man.


The Colonel waxes poetic at Taxis. Did anyone catch the last episode of Lost? Michael was lurking there in his flashback scene, it was supposed to be NYC, but whatevs. We know our fucking Taxis when we see it.


This piece of shit makes other pieces of shit more slidable and grindable.


Mark-ass-busta-ass-trick-ass-ho!


The most O.G. of O.G. spots on in the state. Respect due!


Big up Steve McGarrett. You ain't knowin'? Do your homework, youngin'!


My man was cold chillin'. I think he was like a few months late for the APB video premiere at Red Elephant, but oh well. His whole style screamed for a candid flick. I gladly obliged.


Dudes were dancing on curbs and shit.


Speaking of shit, Jerm has some in his hand and The Colonel is about to be rolling some.


Lineup.


More heads rolled up. We had a deep-ass crew by now.


Bonus video clip, why not? The Blaze gets mannyish on some no complizzy type shit.


Outta here. We split downtown and went over the river and through the woods to Chazz's house. He was showing off the new cock graphic, hella tight, blood.


Chuck was explaining some hi-tech movie shit, his film begins shooting any day now.


Zana had some wild animal selections for the feast.


I was feelin' crab style the most.


Chef regulators. You can't be any geek off the street, and you gotta be real handy with the steel if you know what I mean.


Bedpan/Colonel collabo snuggle moment.


Wyland was owning the vert wall.


Spidermanning it.


Hamming it.


I mean REALLY hamming it.


Stalefish tuck styling it.


Seanny, couch surfing it.


Makoto, every blunt in the booking it.


S.J., soft drinking it.


It was long and hard, (that's what she said) but the day was all-around killer.

The next time you see blog shit here, it will be on some Japanese type shit from Nihon land.

Until then, don't forget to check out the all-new and re-tooled DOWNWITHAPB.COM, we put up some new shit over there including Kaikea Kimura's team profile (finally) and the Girl Lunch Break Invitational contest video, where you can see my boy Jordan DeOliveira killing shit at his workplace, where he took first place in the Girl Skateboards employee skate contest.

Later, skater!
