Went to check out the Fatlace Hellaflush car meet this past weekend in Burlingame. Got there a little pass noon. When I arrived, Al and the Gang were leaving the show to head out to SF with their Ruckus. Didn’t get a chance to film them, but I was able to take a few snaps.

Here is a little video of the day.

Just found one of our segments from the JDM Insider DVD on youtube again. You can pretty much find the whole dvd on youtube now. Sucks for us.

Since its Go Skateboarding Day today, here is a little video I put together for the Share the Air contest a while back. Unfortunately no skatey for me today, gotta watch over the constructor workers install a new window at the house. Wack!!

Next week’s guest is confirmed and we are definitely excited to have SF’s own KERO ONE comin’ through to rock shit with us!

If you are in the 808 this weekend, make sure to party over here this Saturday. Wish I can be there but Airline tickets are crazy right now. Aloha!!!

Went to Yone’s photo exhibit last week in LA to shoot some more footage for the Yone DVD.

His name on the door was spelled wrong.

Yone wasn’t trippin at all, he was just laughing the whole time.

All you need is some black electrical tape to fix the problem.

Setting up the photos.

Kenta and Yu in the house, or shop.

Lots of people came by to check out the photos and also for the open bar provided by Monster drinks.

Yasu came by to join the festivities and to see some breasteses.

Yone and Eric Haze. Haze had a show that night right down the street too.

Kana, Yu, I , and a lot of Ass

Some random photos from the Beijing Trip. Didn’t take to much cause I was holding a video camera the whole trip. More videos soon to follow. Happy Friday!!

Our bus driver’s friend in Beijing had some crazy gold fronts on.

DIY Gold Fronts- Don’t brush your teeth for a month

Don’t brush your teeth for 6 months, and you can be like Flava Flav

Just picked up the all new super limited iPod Nano Mini Extreme. It has a built in mic, speakers and is a 1 gigger and half the size of the previous Nano. All this for under $20. Hot stuff!!! lol

A 7.8 earthquake just hit China a few hours ago. It was 900 miles from Beijing, but we felt the ripple effects from it. No major damage up here in Beijing, but I’m sure there is a lot in Chengdu, the epicenter of the quake. Lets pray that there’s not to many casualties.

I hate it when people leave their window shade up during the in flight movies. The flight attendant even asked people to shut them so people can sleep. But this faggot ass chauncey decides to leave his window shade up the whole duration of the 12hr flight. No sleep time for me.

L- Flying somewhere over Siberia. R- Hello China

L-They built a new airport in Beijing for the Summer Olympics. But its not done yet. A lot of the buildings here are still under construction and it looks like they are going to need a miracle to get all the buildings completed by this August.
R- Grandma and grandson just got dropped off by this guy. All 3 were riding at the same time. Pretty cool and dangerous.
 

Many thanks to Defdiggs (SRxMM), who just came back from Hawaii, he brought me back some frozen Zippy’s Chili. This is one of the top 5 reasons I love going back to Hawaii.

Today is also Defdiggs B-Day. So if you see him skatin through the streets of SF today, or poundin some wild turkey shots at some bar, make sure to holla!!!

Happy B-Day Chadster!!

Got the call from Mark in the morning about a little bbq at his house. So we rolled over there in the afternoon with my new gadget. Just having some fun filming test footage of random things.

The V1U has a slow motion feature on it, but its in Low Res. . It’s a lot of fun to use, but the picture looks like crap because its heavily compressed. Shot this a few weeks ago with some friends.

Much thanks to the in4mation homies who have been keeping me fitted through out the years, since the Define days. And also Ian K for hookin up the Hawaii Stussy T’s. Thanks so much!!!

Since this is about the 808, check out Defdigg’s letterman jacket. From HI to SF, Soul Regiment X Motivate Movement are dropping dope gear this year so be on the look out!!!

A good amount of people showed up this past Tuesday night at the cellar for the Devilock and Fatlace collab party. Good music + good friends + good bartender = Good Times!!!

Anton diggin for beats. The Porn Norm and Dhon da Long show coming soon.

Marissa and her friend Melanie. Kenta (Tokyo Drive) and Endo (Devilock)

Drunk Kana and Sober Phil. Scott, Calvin, Lea and Kenta

Kana and Seiko poundin beers. Crazy Seiko

My friend Chris flew up to SF for the day to go kick it, actually not even for the day, just for a few hours. Ended up grabbing some lunch and immediately after, went skating for 3 hours, then he flew back to LA, then back home to Yokohama. He got to chill with the Fresh Prince for a day taking photos of him.

Check out some of his work. ChrisOnePoint8

Chris J- Backside Tailslide Shuvs Out 3rd try after not skating for more than a year. Dope.

About 11 years ago, before Fatlace existed, there was Mecca Graphics. A one stop shop for all your graphical needs. Here is a commercial we filmed for 360 Video issue#2. Mark, Rob and I were all a lot thinner back then.

Finally, like FTC’s first title of their video, just finished up the DVD box set. Be on the look out.

Finding new spots to skate in SF is like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I must have hit the jackpot because this spot is 5 mins away from my house. City College SF just got renovated with some new buildings and really nice ledges all around. Hurry up and skate it before it gets knobbed off.

Yu is back in SF from his 3 month trip back home to Japan. Its been over 3 months since he had a carne asada burrito from La Guadalajara.

While he was in Japan, he was working hard channeling spirits for money. Check out this video of Yu channeling a lady’s spirit who is believed to have been murdered a few months ago in this love hotel somewhere in Yokohama. Creepy shit!!!

People like to rip our DVDs and put them on youtube all the time. Its great for everybody, but sucks for us. Our DVD sales drop which means we cannot go out and produce the next DVD. I try and find these tubers and politely ask them to take our videos down, and they usually do, but more and more keep showing up. It’s a endless battle. Well here is a clip from one of our DVD, Kanto Tuners. If you like what you see, you can check out more at JDM Insider

JDM Insider Kanto Tuner Trailer 

BNE is stickered up everywhere on this planet from Europe to Japan to the US. Today while at the checkout stand at Trader Joe’s, DalyCity, I saw a shopping cart with a BNE sticker on it. He or she was at TJs shopping for some organic food. Fresh!!!

After taking a 3 month break, we are back at the Cellar SF spinning your favorite old school hip-hop every Tuesday nights. We have a special guest DJ this week all the way from London.

DJ Fro from the fatlace crew will be blessing the turntables for us. See you this Tuesday 2/26!!!

FREE ALL NIGHT

The Cellar- 685 Taylor st. San Francisco

I stumbled upon this site last week and I have been on it every single day since then. If you skated in the 90’s you’ll definitely love this site. It has all the best parts in your favorite skate videos consolidated into one site. Enjoy your rainy days here.

Death or Prison Eventually, coming out this Spring.

Happy Valentines day from your friends at 360vm.com

Yahoo contacted me last week and invited me to join their new Yahoo Live webcasting channel which launched yesterday. All I have to do is broadcast for 2 weeks, send them my feedback, and I’ll get a free webcam and a yahoo t-shirt. So I accepted the offer and the following day my package arrived. Now I have a live webcast on Yahoo. You can check it out if you like. Nothing really much going on in there. Actually nothing is going on in there. Im not even at home. haha

Here is a direct link to the channel. 360VM Live

Good Bye super country side of Japan. See you next winter.

Good Morning Amreica

Flying over Oak-Town 357

Didn’t want to lug my snowboard all the way to Japan so I thought of just renting one for the week. But why rent when you can goto the second hand store and buy a good condition snowboard for $40 bucks. Yours to keep.

This second hand store is actually pretty cool. Every time I think of 2nd hand stores, i always think of smelly stores like the Goodwill or the Salvation Army. This 2nd hand store was far from being like that. It was really clean and actually had a lot of good stuff in there.

Snowboards for under $100 with bindings. Wow

You can even pick up a surfboard for a really good price with 80% off because its off season.

Walked out with 2 snowboards for $90 dollars. Holla!!!

While I was at the book store in Iwate JP, I saw some friends in the new Daytona Magazine.

The Auto Trader magazine of Japan. So many dope cars for sale just like this GTR. droool

One of the top 5 reasons why I wouldn’t live in Iwate where it snows every winter. No skatey in the winter time.

Dope steezy quarter pipe with the cement frame and the masonite top. Looks fun !

Kids, always make sure to wear your safety gear.

Play a game of h.o.r.s.e and a game of s.k.a.t.e at the same time.

Snowboarding on the weekdays is the shit!!! You dont have to deal with the long lines, overfilled parking lots, weekend lift ticket rates, and beginner snowboarders that sit on your pathways.

It’s just you, the mountain, and one skier.

Cafeteria is a ghost town. Sit anywhere you please.

You can sleep on the floor and nobody will bother you.

Random Sil-Eighty in the parking lot. Must be fun to drive it up to the resort.

Dinner time.

Here in Iwate, JP, snowboarding at the Geto Pia resort for the week. An all day lift ticket runs about $40 bucks, and the food is definitely not overpriced like the resorts in Tahoe.

Geto Pia

The Geto Lobby. Looks pretty safe and clean to me.

JDM lift tickets, no metal hangers.

Ramen runs you about $7 dollars here. If this was in Tahoe, this would probably run you about $18. Just like their over priced chili for $12. But they would never have ramen in Tahoe.

Melon Fanta my fav.

View from the cafeteria

Zuke maguro for dinner.

I saw Razor Ramon Hard Gay while walking pass the TBS TV station the other day. My old roommate Marissa introduced Hard Gay’s tv shows to me about 3 years ago. His show will probably not do to well in San Francisco. He will just fit in with the rest of the gay dudes hanging around near the Stud bar. Hard Gay is really not gay,  he is a comedian portraying somebody you would see in the Castro. His shows are super funny though. Reminds me of the Party Boy segment from Jackass.

Met up with Toshi, Chie and Yuko the other night for some all you can eat Shabu Shabu in Shinjuku. It was delicious as always.

Kenta Tosh and I doing some pre funkin before dinner

Trays were stacking up all night

TV phones

Karaoke with the gang. Yuko was killing it all night.

Kenta and Tosh also killed it

Chie and Yuko

Kana showed up towards the end of the night. Camera shy she is

Here’s a bunch of photos from the Tokyo AutoSalon.

see you later!

Met up with Kenta at the Tokyo Auto Saloon over the weekend. Also met import model Lisa Flemming. This was both our first time to meet Lisa. She was wearing a short ass skirt in the freezing cold. Everybody was checking her out.

Luckily for Lisa, the seats in the trains are all heated.

Cheers!!

She is a big fan of Bape, so we tried to hit up the new store in Shibuya. To bad we got there a little to late.

Here is a short trailer for Ollie Magazine featuring Yasumasa Yonehara.

Paul from Hawaii stickered up this railing at the Shibuya crossing 2 months ago. 2 months later, it still remains stickered up.

This empty toaster oven box has been sitting in the living room for almost a week now. Not sure how much longer its going to sit here, but I never took a real good look at it till the other day.

Nice simple package design with all the yummy foods. I think im getting the munchies.

Recharge!!!!

Check out Porn Norm’s new music video.

Nothing to exciting today. Went to Mark’s house and hung out with Al, Barry and their friend who’s name I didnt catch. But he has a tiger striped S14. GRRRR!!! Crazy. Speaking of tigers, I hope those two kids get busted for taunting the tigers at SF Zoo. Read more here . Well, here’s a little vid of the day.
