Century Rizzle..

After a years wait, I finally got the chance to hit up the infamous Century Ride put on by HBL every year. It was a last minute decision though because of the 11 pm ending time of the 8 hour long BBoy City the night before. So anyway I called up the team leader at about 6am and told him I was coming. Just one problem, I had a flat!! Long story short, I made Elton late, he let me borrow a tube since mine couldn't be fixed, Ceddy Bear, Jameel and Derek went ahead to do the 50 miler and a chinese guy was watching me the whole time changing my flat at Elts house. Elts wheres the awkward video at?

Trying to take a shot of us before leaving, I suck at these


This image is significant because this is the first cone after we passed the cone picker upper truck! We were THAT late.


Practicing our drafting technique and picture taking skills


This is the first group of people we finally caught up to cruising through Hawaii Kai. By this time numerous people were passing us by heading back to Kapiolani park from doing the 25 miler


Sauuuuu. We caught the "Calved Wonder" heading back from the 25 miler after doing the around the island ride just the day before!


Hit up Jamba Juice for some nourishment at Koko Marina on the way back


This one is for Kaweeks. Made it to the top of Diamond Head no stopping, calves burning. I felt bad after for asking this lady to take the picture, I had no idea she was waiting for her family to come by. They had to wait for her to take our picture first and then act like they were riding by again. After this we caught some speed heading down to Kapiolani park.


Here's a pan of the park. Since we didn't register we couldn't do the big finish but its all good.


Ended the ride with the good old 7-11 stop. This 7-11 is famouse for keeping the group hydrated every tuesday and thursday

Ipod Nano..

I love CD's, buying the albums supporting the artists, checking out the insert art and I've never wanted one of these but I finally gave in. Crystal finally convinced me to get an Ipod, just like she convinced me to get a Myspace and Facebook, and who knows, I may get addicted to it like I got hooked on those. So we went down to the Apple store and I got the limited edition Product Red. It came beautifully packed, and designed to a T. Now I just gotta get used to using my Itunes and get my Podcasts going for P.T.I

Art and Flea 3

Art and Flea 3 is going down this upcoming thursday, September 23rd. Each installment is looking to be better than the last. This time they gave me the boot to outside buuuut its all good because I'll have a bigger space to hustle some goodies. I'll have some small original paintings on hand for only $20, star magnets for $5, tees and spraycans for $10 aaand two jewelry boxes to put all the other small goodies you buy inside. So come down and see what all the fuss is about its only a dollar ($1) and a smile to check out!

808 Orbits / Beat Root Bodega 2

Beat Root Bodega went down and was not too in affect. It's a telling as to how technology is taking over the music scene big time. Ipods instead of CD, Imacs instead of turntables. Respects to Kavet for tring to keep the scene alive. We need more "Dj's" to support the cause and keep it real on the ones and twos. Buy a cart with wheels or grab a homey to carry your record crates and turntable into the party. Its like artists only bringing prints and small items to shows because its easier to carry.

808 Orbits lacked the crowd that I expected it to have. With Comic Con just happening in San Diego I would've thought a little buzz around the urban art scene would be happening. I finally got to meet the brains of the operation HaynMade. In attendance for the artists was Remi, Pancho, Ohana, Rival'e, Rzone, Kres, Ownah, Daves Action, Krazy, and Klash.

My camera died halfway through my time there so I didn't get to take as many flicks as I wanted to.

Taryn Wright Memorial Ride

Today was the memorial ride for Taryn Wright, it was a very inspirational ride showing support for all the homies on two wheels. The mission of the ride was to raise eyebrows for bike safety, driver awareness and create a memorial for Taryn. Big ups to Rob, Sau, and Nimz who did the networking, and brother Eric who painted the ghost bike. The ride was super slow and not quite made for my setup, but everyone was patient and there was no body showing off or ruining the time for anyone else.

The meet up at UH..





Rolling out..


Heading down University


Beretania


Passing by HPD headquarter, no harassment from the cops thank god


Passing by A'ala park, some of the dudes got some velodrome action in


Almost there


Taryn's parents, family and friends were there at the accident site when we arrived and we all had a moment of silence when the ghost bike was locked up to the pole


The memorial
