$20 up front if you would like a t-shirt via paypal or in person. I picked the best shop. The design is done and has all the shops we support instead of the gear we ride (as shown).

Does anyone want to run over to Foster base and ask if the owner wants in on the t-shirt before we go to the printers?



Navy got the most votes, I will see how much extra it would be to print gold on black as well. I seem to remember the high quality gold print costing significantly more so this design might have to wait until the future.

i miss oki so much it hurts to talk about it

[Slops57]

Long time no talk fellas. whats good?

[jaxxstatic]

Bunch of new boards, wheels, trucks and stuff to try out.
I'm skating at around 3 or 4 today. I'll bring my basketball, too, if anyone wants to play some ball by the beach.

If anyone makes it to the mainland, I'm in Yokosuka. Looking to skate?

Anyone talk to Josh recently?

Hey guys I'm over here at hansen... I checked out the skate shop on foster, looking for a little bit more selection. What are my chances of finding a Dervish here on the island? Got a 96 coming up soon and hoping to break in a new board.

I believe the Foster shop owner said he was getting in some new boards. Perhaps he may have the Sector9 equivalent of the Dervish (clone). I have yet to try it out but have you ridden the Dervish yourself? Anyways, nice to meet you. Looking forward to meeting you at future meets (once the rain lets up). Feel free to add our myspace if you haven't already.

Awesome! I'll definitely check it out this weekend. I have ridden a dervish before and absolutely love it. Do you know of any decent longboarding spots here on the island? Specifically places near the Green line stops? A couple of us are gonna skate this weekend if I can get a hold of another board.

I think it's safe to say that the cold winter has passed and the beautiful spring weather is here. Sunday Skate Sesh's are back in effect.

Adam Colton visited Okinawa and we never got to meet him

I'm back-attack from the land of Okinawa. Regretfully though, I did not find Mr. Myagi, but I did find out where he lives, hahaha! The trip was an adventure to say the least. No real shower for 12 days, camping every night except the first and last--sleeping on beaches, city parks and farmer's fields. We were like wandering homeless people never knowing what the day would bring; it sure did bring lots of rain though. This trip proved to be the wettest experience in a tent I have had in my entire life. There is a strange healthiness though in being in miserable situations from time to time--I catch myself laughing a lot. Next week I will have a photography recap of my trip along with a video.

Oh and yes, Josh is missing........

[098Mindstate]

Dear Adam Colton, come back to Okinawa and skate with OLA.

I feel you. My wife and I talk about it all the time. We especially miss getting in the van with the kids and just driving and finding new stuff. Not to mention there isn't a Coco's here in the states.

i've been in Korea for the past month and a half.
On my way back soon, though. Hopefully, I'll be free to skate next weekend.
I've got a pretty large quiver for anyone that wants to try out boards/setups, and most of it is for sale.
Korea's great, but I hate the cold--can't wait to get back to island weather (and my own car./house/stuff).
Can't believe I missed Adam Colton coming to OKI!!!!!

weather : news headlines - weather.com Tsunami warnings and advisories

You guys are under a tsunami advisory. (I am too, in SOCAL)

God Bless. stay safe.

[Slops57]

Thanks for the warning but the waves are little baby ones. Especially on the Sunabe side of the island. They were pretty much non-existent here.

[098Mindstate]

Managed to kill our skate meet though. Anyone get any skating in?
