Fade into Bolivian

Just like Mike Tyson said. I'm hanging it up. I kinda rather be out there skating to be quite honest. Thanks everyone.

Conor in the Big Apple

Recently our pal Conor transported himself to N.Y. for a while, but the dude is still doing his visions. Maybe instead of trees it's buildings though. He recently posted another one of of his ill digital shorts on his Facebook. So if you don't got him as your friend well you won't be able to view this masterpiece. Anyway this one is my favorites so far. For 1 he's skating Flushings in Queens. (That's the home of the Mets btw. I know they sucked this year. Maybe the Jets will hold it down.) For 2 he jogged my past memories by using Peach Fuzz by KMD. So sick I had to post it. Maybe the dude will post it on youtube or something soon.

Sho-time

Got a new little toy and tested it out with Shota at his dad's B-day party.

Solitary Arts

My friend Yong-Ki who used to skate with Kenny and I a long time ago has set up a donation fund on his site Solitary Arts. Check the right hand side of the screen. All the proceeds will go to help Kenneth's medical expenses. Mahalos.

Thoughts for Lenny

Recently our pal Kenny was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him. Stay positive Lenny boy.

Here's your ad Chad

I was talking to Chad and he wanted an idea for an ad. So here you go. Just put your logo somewhere. This was an old photo I took of Chane, Rob and Shane. This was moving day at their old pad near UH circa 1997. Rob's Shaolin shirt is awesome.

Why am I on Transworld?

...said the dude on his Facebook. The World dudes be eyeing you out Shota. TWS took his Treevisions part and put it on their site.

Take me way back!

Okay work has actually been kicking my ass this week. I come home and don't want to do shit. But since I haven't posted anything I guess I better. Recently my homie Nos who I grew up skating with sent me some flix via facebook. So if you aren't my friend on fb you wouldn't be seeing them. I know fb is lame. Kind of, but I got to reunite with some of my peeps that I haven't seen for years. Okay enough trying to justify it. This is a photo of my at our old stomping grounds Highlands Intermediate in the PC. 80's were about lauch ramps and street plants brah. Releasing the stalefish.

Banzai in the Paeps

The Banzai park made it into today's Honolulu Advertiser. Check it out and the video of my man Chris. Buuhaaahaahahaah!

Backpacks anyone?

Have you visited the old hi-rolling site recently? If you did you may have noticed a wacky backpacking site. What is it suppose to be? Some backpack that has wheels so you can roll while you're climbing Mt. Everest? I guess maybe I should have renewed it.

Hi-Vibes

Larry's tomodachi from Japan finished day 5 up in the North Shore. Straight rippin' from Lucas, Harts and The Skate Nazi himself. Then appearances from Jay Adams, Joel Tudor and Craig Stecyk. What! My favorite episode so far.

Just give it a little tappy tap

One of the most underrated tricks in the biz. Hartsel gots um on lock. Anyone know the difference between a tailtap and a tailbock?

Rippin a kidney

Cool back yard attack from the boys. Video via Skillet.

Bye Bye Rob!

We'll not bye for good, but yesterday was Rob's last day working at APB. So in honor of him leaving I'm posting this hefty Backside Ollie off of Aala park's lip. Chee!

D. Lee picks his nose

One interview we were suppose to do when we had the site was with our good buddy Darin Lee. We never got a chance. When he lived in SF he wouldn't answer calls or emails. We heard he lived with like 5 other dudes and he choose to use the closet as his bedroom. Well he's back in Hawaii now and we don't got the site anymore.

Dolphin Tanks a lot Mr. Police Ossifer

I've been slacking so I thought I'd post some old photos I shot. So here's our friend the Skate Nazi getting up at the Dolphin Tanks while Shane holds me flash. I love this place and you know why? Here is where our friendly neighborhood police man choked me down to the ground onto the nice sharp coral reef.

New Park Dawg!

Sick paint job! Kaps feels like a brand new park. Thanks goes out to Davis, Wade, Kyle and the rest of the crew.

Hi-Rolling Memory

If you have recently tried to visit the Hi-Rolling website you would see that it no longer exist. Because of the downed economy coupled with my lazyness I have decided not to do the site any longer. A big mahalo to everyone who has contributed throughout the years. Maybe one day I'll bring it back. I'll try to continue to do this blog.

Give Thanks to Jef

The Skate Nazi already wrote about this board on his blog a little while back. Jef hand delivered this beauty the other day to me with a custom paint job on the top. Fuckin' stoked. It's going straight to the wall. Looking at this shape though it makes me want to ride it. It's 8.5 at its widest point but looking at it probably rides more like an 8 incher. If Chad at APB gets this in I may have to pick one up to ride. Sick graphics, sick shape.

Masta Masa

Came across these photos my friend Masa sent me. Hope your knee is healing.
