ads are video grabs, the barn blast was actually a photo sequence and

The other thing people asked about was whether I got to meet Kale
Sandridge. Pronounced "Kully", Kale is a Hawaiian skate animal of the
purist stock. With died hair, a missing front tooth, Hosoi-style daily outfit
changes, an eclectic personal soundtrack mix of harmonica playing,
Ozzy, Motley Crüe, and a pre-recorded selection of self-serving rap
songs, Kale charges around completely irony free-with uncontrollable
psychotic skate energy. Shoeless, laughing and out of control; he's the
guy all the OC crazies are copying.
In my visit to the Islands, I did fulfill a childhood skate dream and
went to the legendary Wallos ditch. Boy, is that place gnarly. I ate shit
just jumping the fence. Aloha, friends at Natural Koncept. Sorry this
story is so awful. Aloha!
