I think this picture pretty much sums up what my friend Paul Han's blog is all about. Skateboards, yoyos, and radical. I mean how can you go wrong with that right? If you have some time (I sure do say that a lot huh?) you should definitely check that out because it's an amazing site full of mystic wonders that will make all of your wildest dreams come true.
Without further ado the folks behind nothing you've ever heard of have released the trailer to their debut film. If you don't recall it's about a group of track bike enthusiasts/cyclists that embark on an epic journey from Tokyo to Osaka (that's over 400 miles). As a friend of a rider or two that went on this trip I can safely say that they had the adventure of a lifetime. I'm thoroughly excited to finally see the film and if all goes well it might debut somewhere around here for all to see.
Unfortunately as with all films of this magnitude (I'm sure they have hours and hours of footage) the actual release date is most likely way, way up in the air so I don't personally expect to see it anytime soon. However the release of a trailer at least reveals that the ball is rolling in the right direction.
Stumbled upon this short compilation of interviews taken from Hayao Miyazaki's trip to North America back in 99'. It's been over a decade since then and just now am I learning what's behind the white hair and thick glasses. Here I thought he was just a bag of tales featuring a young guy or girl and the struggles or benefits of growing up, but goodness was I wrong. Similar to many great men and women, Miyazaki's words hold truth and provoke thought even a decade later.
I'll be honest with you. I don't surf. However that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the sport for what it is. Maybe one of the things I admire so much about surfing is the fact that those who participate in the sport are men and women who ride earths energy and the fact that it's the type of sport that makes the participant a traveler of distant lands. I love the ocean to death and think I'd have to live by it for the rest of my life. Unfortunately I'm also scared to death of it, which is why I don't surf.
Anyway check this video shot in Tahiti. It's shot beautifully.
It's been almost 3 years since my last visit to the land of the rising sun. I'd love to go back, but we all get tied down every once in a while. Anyway this video did a great job of bringing back some of the memories of kicking it in Shibuya or waiting for the JR after a night of painting the town red.
My homie Shane owns two hip hop barber shops in a city called San Mateo. It's about 10 minutes south of San Francisco if you haven't heard of it. Anyway this was a video just showing his daily commute and chill spots. Check it out!
