YOGA UP 700%

Last week:  Not a huge turnout, to be honest NOBODY showed up, not one solitary soul.  I hung around for a bit and few dudes with dreads were attracted to the early Bob Marley and Skatalites I was bumping.  I burned them some reggae CDs and they promised to send their Ms.’s next Saturday.

One lonely tree (pose) i be, all by myself without nobody.

Just as I was about to start the class by myself, Tahawai Pewhairangi of girls high, walked by on her way to the store.  She told me to wait 10 more min.

Breath in deep. Now slowly make a ssssssss... sound until lungs empty. Repeat for 3 Bob Marley songs. That buzz is from your brain recieving the proper amount of oxygen.

 After the class, Tahawai said “I feel really nice, I’m glad I came.”  She also hooked up a great koha, a stack of blank CD’s, I was really stoked.  Looks like we'll have a few more Bob CD’s to give away next Saturday.     

Feel like this every Saturday 10am behind Kaiti Mall

UPDATE:  This morning we had 7 (8 if you count me), thats a 700% increase!

Sean Edwards Gets New Pair of Shoes

Saturday at the bowl, Ben from KINGPIN and Sam from DVS hooked up the hardest ripping locals with fly new kicks.  I dont know if I'd exactly call the shoes free, Sean and a few other Gizzy boys really earned their footwear by throwin' down huge hammers on the rail and gap.  My wheels (or guess I should say Ben and Liam's wheels, thanks for letting my cruz ur rides) never left the ground and I still got a free pair of MATIX shades and woofed down 4 sausages!  O.M.G., Shayne Biddle, and Matt Smith from the YMCA kept the beat (and beat box) bumpin' and served up the fresh freestyles that got our mental juices flowin'.

This mute actually went down the day before at our comp but it gets the point across:  Sean Kills It!

        

         On a little darker note, after the jam was over some violence broke out.  Apparently somebody called somebody an orangutan and it ended with an ambulance ride and stitches.  When you hit somebody, especially with your board, there's gonna be heavy consquences for you and them.  If someone is trying to drag your mum into a car, by all means bash 'em, but if someone calls you a name, well, is it really worth is?

         Stop the Violence, take it out on the coping, develop your Mana, keep ripping!

Kia Ora!

Little Rain Ain't Gonna Break Our Stride!

What's that last song off the first Motley Crue album? On With the Show?  Moved it to Matt Smith's mini upstairs at the Y where a few determined rippers and MC's caught up and got a little bit richer...

Missing DragoN UPDATE: DRAGON RETURNED

After Friday's comp we came home with some stuff that wasn't ours and without some stuff that is ours...

FOUND: Some sorta camera equipment. Not sure how it ended up in my hand. Right when I walked up around 11:30, I had about 10 people asking me questions and handing me things. When i set my gear down I had this thing in my hand and nobody knew whose it was or where it came from. Trippy...

the mysterious lens

LOST: Anybody know who ended up with David from the Y's board? Dont know which graphic but i do know if his GOLDEN DRAGON board comes back i'll hook somebody up! For real guys, find this thing for me! UPDATE:  DRAGON RETUNED, ME AND DAVID ARE STOKED, YEAH HUMAN RACE!  Now, if we could just sort out whose camera thingy we got...
