Happy Easter, BunBuns!
Hey All! Well Sunday is here. No skating the entire week. Something made me supress my wants to go out. But that's okay! I can't wait to get back to my LV home & skate with my girls. It's been an eventful Spring Break, but it's just time to get back to my other fam. When the time is right, I will return to the island and fall in love with the land around me. Until then. shoots. -kiki

I JUST WANT TO SKATE! So it's safe to say that I'm pretty discourraged about finding a spot in the skate world. I only want to try my best and learn all there is to learn, it just seems so difficult to find someone that is willing to take me under their wing. "Skating- you just learned it by yourself. There's no such thing as a "skate coach". Just take it to the park". I just don't know, man. I want some help so I don't kill myself out there. I think I would have so much fun if someone took some time to teach me!). Whatever, I don't know anything about skating. I'm not pretending to either. I like to ride it around, I don't mind attempting new tricks, and I just think it's really fun. I'm really over feeling insecure about it, too. People, mostly boys, are quick to judge me or say something that will immediately discourrage someone from learning how to do the skate-thing. I'm disgusted. It would be nice if you just smiled and said "Sure, I'll help you out". It would be really nice if they were not pricks about it. But maybe I'm foolish; maybe the skate scene is also known as the "prick-scene". This is just my experience so far. In any case, I will continue to skate around and try new things. I haven't skated much since I've been home. I blame myself for feeling incapable, which has stopped me from going out to skate. I really have to put on my big-girl-panties and just do me. It's not about them, it's not about their comments. It's about me and my journey and I cannot let negative comments bring me down. P.S: I really like ReVive. I don't care if they say it's a little kid brand; I'm a little-big kid trying to learn how to ride a skateboard. They skate around filming themselves doing tricks, or not doing tricks. They are popular on youtube, they make money from their brand, and they have a fan-base (I think that's cool & it took a lot of hard work to get there). People are haters and I don't want those people in my life- ever. SERIOUSLY- why is it such a big deal? -kiki
So I Bought A GoPro. A couple weekends ago I won a jackpot at the casino; $1000. I immediately knew that I wanted to use some of the money to buy a new camera. Itās cool to see footage of yourself skating with your friends, or by yourself, to track your progress and correct any problems. Itās not that often that I remember to bring out the camera, but it just so happend that I had it handy when I went skating at the park the other day. The footage isnāt that great and Iām not a pro at using the camera itself, but I was able to get a clip of my kick/push and also some scenery of green grass and pavement. The ride was pretty sweet and I must say that riding alone, with just yourself and your board, is pretty relaxing. Iām not one to like being alone, or succeed at being alone, but I forced myself to enojoy the afternoon. I am thankful to be home near the ocean. I am thankful to be with my family, especially my neice and nephew. I am thankful that I brought BB2 home, riding around on a skateboard is blissful. -kiki

The Cutest Thing I've Ever Seen! I often wish that something like this was my childhood. I don't regret the childhood I grew up with, but something turned sour right around 12. I wish I had a squad to encourrage me to conquer the world.
Let Me Ride My Skateboard to Your Heart "I don't mean- to seem like I care about material things; like a social status. I just want 4 walls and adobe slats for my girls-" Animal Collective. My girls; I can't even begin to express how much it means to me that they were there for me when I was literally falling apart. The past months have been a rough ride and all I can say is: THANK GOD IT'S SPRING BREAK. We all need a break at some point or another and sometimes it just takes one day to send you straight to hell. For the three of us, that day happened really early into the semester (all of us falling apart at seperate times). Without eachother and the joy we sincerely accepted from the world around us, we would have stuggled to make it this far. We've visited this park before to relieve stress, feed ducks, climb trees, talk shit, and ride our skateboards. Our boards, modes of transportation, our get away. Today was just amazing.. The weather was perfect and nothing could bring us down (except for the sun cause it burns our porcelain bunny's skin!!). I absolutely live for days like these. Successes for the day included: riding off a side walk (okay the thing was like 3 inches off the ground), ollies on the playground, and squat photos. Klack Krew 2016. I wish you all a wonderful Spring Break whereever you may be- you will hear of my skate stories soon. BB2 is going to Hawaii! -kiki

#FBF to Anthony Van Engelenās Thrasher Magazine SOTY victory lap video āMaxed Outā with tons of island style ripping from Rowan ZorillaĀ and Co that is totally worth rewatching. Head over to vans.com/av to check out all the spring colors of AVEās Av Classic and High as well as a sneak peak of his new shoe, the AV Rapidweld Pro, dropping this Saturday.
I was there... It was one of my first skateboarding experiences. The guys were doing some stuff down at A'ala Skate Park. I just stood there in awe because I hadn't a clue as to what was happening before my eyes!! A spark lit up the flame in my heart. Travis brought me to a beautiful place. Skateboarding takes years of practice, weeks of healing, and lots of passion. Guy Mariano: Wow. I heard his name echo through DT-Honolulu. I watched as he conquered. My eyes whittnessed his craft. It was really the highlight of 2016 thus far. A REALL BIG THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY KOKORO T.O, Just- thank you for all that you shared with me. You taught me how to ride a skateboard and showed me kindness. The past two months have been hard placing everything you gave me. Really awesome memories were made and I want to keep all of them. I don't want to throw them away, or place them in a box stored where I'll forget all about them. You should know that even after all the really ugly things you tossed my way, I still see the beauty in you. Every person that steps into our lives, for good or bad, belongs as part of us. You were a pebble in my path and I picked you up to cherish and admire. The way I feel about you, that you are deserving of love and happiness, will never change. Friends, lovers, haters, or any other undefined term is okay with me- just as long as you know...I'm always here/there/anywhere for you. Let's skate! -kiki
I Was About to Cry. So I purchased some goodies from ReVive Skateboards and I was super excited about it. I finally found a group of people and a company that I want to support. The shirts came in the mail with some stickers and it was signed off by Alex. Really cool. Thanks man! -kiki
This is what my Mom told me... January 2016; I decided that I wanted to take up skateboarding as a new hobby. I met a guy, he taught me how to ride, I bought a skateboard, then returned back to Las Vegas. The day I got my board setup I get a text from my Mom, "you know you can get hurt on a skateboard, right?". I didn't reply because I already knew that she just needed to say something Mom-ish, so I let her. The truth is, I don't really think about getting hurt, I still won't think about getting hurt, but I probably will get hurt. Make sense? I can't live in fear of being hurt and somedays you don't even get a scratch. This one here, let me just tell you...I'm trying to get more "air" to my ollie. I think I've got the footwork, but the slide portion still needs work. Whenever I try to do the trick, I imagine fixing the things I feel are wrong and hope that it magically fixes itself the next try. On the try that ended with this casualty, I don't even remember what I was trying to do. In my final attempt to make sense of it all, I'm making up this story: I really wanted to get some air. I thought "Okay, I'm gunna pop harder, jump harder, slide harder...oh I know, let me try a 180". BOOM hit the pavement like bird-poop on my car. I heard my shoulder crack (crack like, holy shit- it came out of the socket), and I was so scared that I wouldn't be able to move my arm! Luckily, with confidence, I rotated my shoulder to find it in full rotation (great, no hospital needed). As I was hoisted off the ground, my loveley man-friend helped me up, I just felt the aches running through my body. Into the house for this photo-op. The scratch is almost like rug-burn since I was wearing a jacket. There is no blood oozing, but you can clearly see I've damaged the surrounding area cause it looks like blood could come gushing out at any second. It is swollen, I've got bruises on my leg, elbow, and knee. It was a fun 30 minute skate session, and I have absolutely no regrets. "You do what you love, and sometimes love hurts". "A day where nobody falls is a good day". Quotes thanks to Leticia Bufoni (Brazillian Gold) and Grey's Anatomy (Meredith Grey). Skate on, -kiki
Tiny Hops. Hey all- It's been a week of homework and hour skate sessions. I took BB2 to the park near my house to practice some tricks on the tennis courts. I know I shouldn't be "shredding" on the courts, but I'm not capable of destroying anything and the smooth surface really helps me gain confidence in whatever I'm doing. To my surprise, my ollie is really improving. I can finally get off the ground and 5/10 times I can get a "pop" action going. I get really excited when all the sound-effects come into place too. It's very rewarding! The next step is me achieving the sliding mechanism to give me more "air". It's all very exciting and I'm really proud of myself for investing in this new hobby and not letting it go to trash. "POP, SLIDE, AND JUMP- ALL AT THE SAME TIME". In other news, I've purchased my first shirts from a company that I really like. ReVive Skateboards is a company that was created by skater Andy Schrock and I really fell in love with the company and its team. I had to find a place for myself and my feelings/emotions for skating, and I've found it quite comfortable and encourraging to watch Andy's YouTube channel. I feel like there may be a stigma toward Andy and his company (like, I feel like I would get judged by some skaters because I like to watch his videos! WUT?!). Some skaters really enjoy what he brings to the skate scene and others really dislike him. To be honest, because I found him all by myself (without the help of a skater friend or someone telling me to watch him), I found that he just brings fun and passion to the sport and it's something that I really dig about him. Andy and his team are a great form of entertainment (I love every single one of them- Casey, Sam, & Brian are my ultimate faves), plus you can learn a lot about skating. I cannot wait to get my shirts in the mail! -kiki
I want to become without offending. Skating is fun, skating is real, skating is life. You can do it if you try hard enough.

I Have No Stickers...
Another day, another post about skateboarding. Learning this new hobby is 100% for me. I want to look back on this year and say, "wow, I really accomplished something there and it made me a more beautiful person". -kiki
I Wish I Had A Friend Named Corbin. There are a few of these videos online and I really enjoyed watching them. It makes me really happy when I find videos that are relatable to me. It's cool to watch kids tame the ramps and nail all the tricks, but the stuggle is real in trying to not get discourraged with it all. It's almost like information overload. Anyway, here is something fun. I like it. -kiki
^^^ Look guys, my first commited ollie. I don't know if my back wheels left the ground, but I got a little hop and I'm really really proud of it!! Stage I: We Are Robots. A huge thank you to my favorite Buns and her Frankie-boyfriend for teaching us how to ride skateboards more efficiently. The title of this post is exactly as it is supposed to be: we are robots. Learning how to skate takes time and a lot of effort and when you first start, you will most definitely look like a robot (stiff & unnatural). In our current situations, we are all bounded to school, work, and life. It's a stuggle to find an extra hour or two to do the things we love. Trying to find time to skate is difficult and it tortures me that I do not have more time to invest in this beautiful thing. I am looking forward to Thursdays. Hopefully I do not irritate Frankie-boyfriend because I have a ton of questions and lord knows I know absolutely nothing about skating except for what google tells me. In any case, I have high hopes and full commitment to learning to ride this thing. -kiki
Ollie Impossible
Today I tried to do an ollie. Despite my hardest efforts, I was not able to nail it.
āPop. Slide. Jump. All at the same time. Try, try, try againā.
I am not discourraged. I will continue to practice. I will get it eventually. It is fun to try new things!

The āPrance n Skateā
I see all the kids doing it. They get a running start to give them more momentum and speed. I thought that it looked do-able. The video here is sped up, mostly because Iām literally doing it in slow motion so that I could think and move at the same time.
After skating for the day, I finally looked at some videos to compare my work with the professionals. I found out that I was doing it incorrectly and that the concept is to place your foot on the board before it hits the ground. I am a runner, so the running part is easy- the foot on the board not so much.
The Prance n Skate looks pretty legit, but Iāve got to say farewell.

It is safe to say that skate culture is pretty cool. The fashion is on point and the skaters carry themselves in a way that is admireable purely for all the passion that is involved.
Here are a few things Iāve thought about when I look at skaters-
There are so many brands: Supreme, ReVive, Thrasher, Rip n Dip, Almost, WKND, Enjoi, HUF, Plan B, KROOKED.
How do you go about choosing a brand to support without looking like a noob? Personally, before I knew anything, I just said āHEY! That graphic looks cool, let me get that deckā. After a lot of contemplation, I just said āletās not be that girlā¦ā and decided to do some research. I googled, I stumbled, I tumblr-ed, I redit-ed, I even pinterest-ed skaters and skate culture. I found a few pro-skaters that I enjoyed watching and through YouTube, I was even able to see some of their personalities. Turns out, there are pro-skaters out there with hearts of gold and they are backed by some of the popular brands. In the end, I feel like it will be okay to just support those who touch my heart.
I need the socks. I need the pants. I need the shoes.
Iām not even going to lie. I wanted to be that trendy girl (I got a cool sweater and Stance Socks), I thought it was cool, and I definitely labeled myself as a āposerā. I want more for myself and my new hobby. I do not want to be judged or labed. It is now my goal to mean what I say and do as I please. Skate culture is something that takes education. I have high hopes that I will surround myself with friends that wonāt mind sharing their passion with me. I just want to have fun. I donāt need the socks. I donāt need the pants. BUT I DO NEED THE SOES.
Y-T-F DO YOU NEED SOCKS
I find it frustrating that I admired someone and somethings without doing some research first. It was a good place to start, so I thought, but after thinking about it for awhile I realized that I shouldāve taken more intiative to get educated before I took this sk8rgirl plunge. I have started to take so much interest into skating that it doesnt even matter where I started. The truth is I am skating now and itās all about me. I bought some stupid socks.
-kiki
In the past month, Iāve trotted around on my board, took the plunge to conquer the cracks in the pavement (you know, the ones that look so intimidating- like, my back wheels are definitely going to get caught and Iām going to die), and got my kick down to look super profesh. With all that said, my comfortability in riding has become more natural and I think about taking the next step everyday. Tricks & stuff, they take time, practice, and a lot of sunscreen. Lingo/Jargon- 1. Ollie 2. Shuvit / Pop-Shuvit 3. Kick flip 4. Grind 5. Half-pipe / Quarter-pipe 6. FS / BS 180 7. Drop-in 8. Tranny 9. Riding Switch 10. Tic-Tac
