Chuck Mitsui and Mako Ozaki looks back at 20 years of 808 Skate with a HI 808. With commentary, we look back at the last 20 years of skateboarding in Hawaii. This episode features the Mako Ozaki. Great spots that miss being skating get out and hit these spots.
We reverse the clock and take it back to the original 808 crew back in 1997, Keone Gunderson, Sam Clemens, Matt Hawke(RIP), and a young gun by the name of Sean Payne! This was a short video shot on Hi8 for the now defunct X!lam TV!

Been posting a lot of 808 Skate team riders shredding the island over the past year on our Instagram page! Decided to put each braddahs IG footie together and make a little part! First up we got the BMW enthusiast, Keolu local, Mr. Brock Kono. check him out on instagram: @brockkono
BBQ party at the Kaneohe skate park to celebrate Mr. Jason Park turning pro for Sometimes skateboards! Got a little rained on! But da boys still grilled up and threw down off the slippery kicker! Austin Mendoza won himself a brand new Jason Park deck for his half cab heel off the kicker! We also got to ask Jason a few questions that needed answering!
Happy Birthday Chuck! Here he hits the DLXHI ramp with as many coping dancing, wallride, ollie, combo tricks as he is young! B-day guests Bedpan, Brock Kono, and son Tui jump in on the fun! And you always got to throw in one extra trick for icing on the cake!
Deluxe Distribution sent 808 Skate a #TheBuildProject bucket so that we and 249 other skate shops around the world could collect donations towards building a DIY spot. We were able to cleanup some previously UN-skateable spots, repair some bus up spots and build this quarter pipe on the top side of the legendary Uluwatu.
It was a lot of heavy, dirty, hard work but good fun. Go check it out. Go skate it.
Here you can watch, Sean Reilly, Mikey Albert, Jason Park, Joel Maxey, Malakai Montes, Misha Kreker, Mike G, Kyle Smith and Steven Stinson.
Thanks to Justine Edwards and Jordan Kim for some awesome footie.
Chuck Mitsui looks back at 20 years of 808 Skate with a HI 808. With commentary, we look back at the last 20 years of skateboarding in Hawaii. This episode features the friends section.
What started out with a few too many pitchers at a local watering hole, turned into an all out sloppy assault of skate spots around the mall and Waikiki! Watch Bedpan with friends Bernardo,Rhydem,Todd,Willy, and other random rippers flip over fire hydrants, high 5 pedestrians, and near fall into the Ala Wai! Miss skating with Bernardo, he always would just land the raddest tricks out of nowhere. This tape definitely gives you a glimpse at the raw talent of Bernardo Bernard, Enjoy!
