What an amazing year 2016 has been for skateboarding in Hawaii! The ASH contest series wrapped up at Keolu on the 24th of September and so many skaters came out from all over Oahu and even the neighbor islands! There were a ton of heavy slams, but no bad injuries, and after a good showing of huge airs and tech gnar tricks we crowned the winners of the Keolu Invitational and the overall ASH contest victors! If you wish to see the standings for the year go to http://skatehawaii.org ! Thanks to all who skated and came out to support! See you next year, which island will the ASH contest series branch out to next?

ShittyKids crew decided to keep it Kailua this 4th! After a day at the beach, some of the SK crew decided to leave the crowds and hit up the Keolu park! Lots of falling, lots of fun, and the best view of the fireworks without the crowd! Hope everyone else had a great 4th, and got out there and skated a lit bit. Skater for life!
Over the past few years we've had big changes in our 808 Skate team. Sean Payne moved away to New Mexico,Anton Glamb has decided to focus on music and becoming a doctor, Sam Clemens is a full time lifeguard in Waikiki. They are still part of the 808 Skate family, we just dont get to skate with em everyday! In 2016 the 808 Skate team is as tight a crew as ever though! Skaters from all over Oahu, Kapolei, thru town, and over to the east side! And Mack Basil is a transplant from Seattle! He moved out here just a couple of years ago to the Manoa area, linked up with "Bedpan" Reilly and immediately started stacking clips and kicking it with the crew! Always smiling, usually can catch him with some bling and a clean fade, the kind of dude who gives everybody at the party a handshake or a hug, a hardworking bus boy, recent knee surgery recoveree, all around great dude! We are proud to have him as part of the 808 Skate ohana! Here is some recent VX and phone clips over the past year and some change of the Mack in da Honolulu streets!
Thanks to Jordan Letotes, Justine Edwards for footie! Chee
On May 18th, 2014 we lost a great friend and team rider Bernardo Bernard. Bernardo was down to skate whenever and wherever! He loved to go to Aala Park to kick it with his homies,bump some tunes on the SK geto blaster, and absolutely destroy the bank to bank, rail, ledge combo. Every year family and friends get together and have a big bbq and skate jam. This year the Shitty KIds crew walked around and took donations for a best trick over the bank to bank, where Bernardo was known to lay down consistent kickflip backlips, four kickflip back nosegrinds in a row, and a rumoured perfect switch backside big flip!... After some very generous donations, the pot was at approximately 180 dollars! Right as the starting whistle blew local skate rat Skyler threw down a first try big flip front board to fakie! Much more insane NBD's and other tricks followed for an hour, but in the end we had to hand it to that out of nowhere full speed big flip board! Very much in the Bernardo style to just out of nowhere bust the craziest trick and then just sit down, chill, and laugh it up with da boys! Congrats Skyler! Awesome times, Thank you to everyone who brought food, bbq, tents, music, smiles, and be sure to come out next year for the 3rd annual Bernardo Bernard Skate Jam!
