The land of BIG HOLES and HONEY!

The weekend of the 9th October saw Kent and Alpha Longboards being flon to Jobrg and driven to Kimberley, along with Amin Gray and the Element and DC street-skating riders for a skateboard expo day hosted by the Dept of Sport and Recreation.

Alpha's task was to show the masses how one can shape your own skateboard, coupled with Amin's short talk on the history of skateboard deck shapes and why they are the way they are.

All in all it was an awesome weekend of being exposed to the cream of young South African skating talent, and a rejuvenated outlook for the future of South African skating culture as a whole!

The Cypher

Before any world stage, the proving ground for any MC and lyricist has been the cypher. From Cape Town to New York, Rio De Janeiro to Tokyo, at some point or the other there are a group of youth rhyming to gain the respect of their peers.

Last night a DJ saved my life!

i love how in this pic we get a feel of what it is the dj's tasks are as he plays to the crowd. if you lokk closely you will see 3 figures. he looks at the crowd, then his equipment, then to his laptop for next track selection. i feel this pic embraces the most important aspects of what a dj does. mad respect to you guys.

ps: i love taking club shots!!!!

You are the hope this world needs

I came across this gentleman cruising the streets of Cape Town, realising that he must hace had a tough life, one not necessarily out of his own choice. Even though others may argue this. I don't wana touch on him as an indvidual, but more on the fact that we judge. We all judge. If we actually break it down and take the time out to listen to those that we judge we will realise that the basis of their life issues are not that different to ours. there is a commonality of the need of acceptance, friendship, intimate companionship, the worry about future survival, etc. I don't need to go into detail about the issues we face daily. It is in our faces daily. I hope and pray that we can get to a point of physical and moral acceptance of each other, and accept each other because we are beautifully different.
