Kenny Brimer In The City Of Hope

Kenny flew-in to City Of Hope from Hawaii today. Amazing news since this will be the first day of a 3 month stay to start his treatment for his diagnosed leukemia. We’re all praying for you, Kenny…

Day one here at City of Hope. Our cabin is really nice, it’s almost as big as our apartment back home. I meet my doctor today and will be exploring around the campus. I’ll be taking tons of pictures so be ready for an overload. Talk to you soon.

Waipahu, Hawaii 1989

I found this photo recently of a demo in Waipahu, Hawaii from 1989. Jeff Mills dated it with his Mark Gonzales split-face board (that he’s holding by the nose… he was one of the first to ride one when it came out that year).

This demo was with the Blue Hawaii skate team (Jeff Mills, Jared Bush, John Bala and Joel Acob) along with some of the pro’s from the Alva team. I think Jef Hartsel and Chris Cook were in this demo too but I can’t remember whom else was riding that day. I do remember Cooksies super-stylish g-turns though.

Standing L-R: Jeff Mills, Jared Bush, Joel Acob, and John Bala. Sitting in the front row, in front of Bala: Mike Okawa, Kenny Brimer, Rich Nickla, and Yong-Ki (just peeking-out behind Nickla’s red hat).

I have no idea who took this photo and how I came upon it in my skate box, but I’m thankful I did.

"...That is skateboarding, right there!"

Our friend, Jef Hartsel sent this photo of Jay Adams.

“I wish you and Geoff could have been there to see JayBoy ripping the Pocket Horn in my parking lot…
Dude must of been stoked cause he was blowing our minds skating on that stick!”
- Jef

I told Jef, “…that is skateboarding, right there!”

Both Geoff and I are looking forward to EZ-R!

Mahalo!

THIS, Los Angeles’ inaugural opening is happening on Friday, 2.12.10

Looks to be a solid gathering of creatives… maybe you can get a few turns on their new in-studio quarter-pipe while you’re there.

Mahalo to Jeremy Weiss for the photos.
