Contrast Magazine

Love them or hate them, fixed gear bicycles are gathering an enthusiastic following (I didn’t know bikes could be so polarizing). Tonight, Honolulu’s peddlers will gather for a race at Diamond Head triangle park and then ride over to 39Hotel for a film showcase of “Council of Doom”. Council of Doom is a RVCA sponsored bicycle crew from Costa Mesa, OC, CA. The self-entitled film features them pushing the limits and having fun.

Grab at copy of Contrast Magazine at 39Hotel (we’ll have a box there) and $3 Red Stripes!

UFC 94: St. Pierre vs. Penn 2

Hawaii’s favorite fighting son returns to action on Saturday, January
31st. Hilo’s BJ “the Prodigy” Penn (14-4-1), lightweight (155lbs)
champion, takes on Georges “RUSH” St. Pierre in a welterweight
(170lbs) championship match. Penn will be looking to avenge a split
decision loss to Rush two years ago. Both fighters are currently
ranked number one in their respective weight classes, and are both top
five pound for pound fighters in the latest Sherdog.com rankings.
This promises to be the huge, explosive rematch MMA fans have been
drooling over since their first fight. Says Penn, “if Jon Fitch
reminds him [GSP] of the terminator, then he’s going to think I’m God,
because I’m going to come harder than that.” The Prodigy looks to
combine his unreal grappling skills and takedown defense with boxing
skills that Freddie Roach calls, “the best in MMA.” GSP comes with an
all around fight game and the best wrestling skills in the UFC. The
Kyokushin karate practitioner recently earned his BJJ black belt from
Gracie Barra instructor Bruno Fernandes, and is superb whether the
fight is on the feet or on the ground. Joe Rogan, a UFC commentator
summed the fight up perfectly, saying, “two of the very best
tacticians in the game meeting at the peak of their careers.”

Stay Gold is a “must see” art exhibition opening on January 30th at the Blue Hawai‘i Gallery. The show has been curated by Maurice Radke aka Moe Diggs, a Hawai‘i transplant who now makes his home in LA. The selection of featured artists have been “Down from day one” and includes: Angry Woebots, TesOne, Jerk+Skech, My Cryptonauts, The 14.400, Jon Radke and of course the organizer himself… Moe Diggs. I’ve been told that the opening celebration is a private engagement (invite only, 9pm-midnight) and the exhibit will be open to the public starting on the 31st during normal gallery hours.

Anyone who hasn’t seen it yet should really stop by the University of Hawai‘i Art Gallery to check out the Graduate Student Exhibition 31 up through February 13th.  There is some amazing talent to check out.  DO NOT miss J. Robert Reed’s larger than life installation of Marie Antoinette, I’m serious, you’ll be impressed the shit is nutttttsssss!

Fuuuuuck, this looks fun. The Shores Crew boys get bored quickly, so they brought the grinch to the pool. Lets do this at the Natatorium!

I just found out about this through my Skateboard Mag feed. A few skateboarders from Australia went over to Kabul and started a skateboard school with 3 skateboards. It’s the raddest most punk thing I’ve heard in a long time. A few months ago I read a great article in Thrasher about a venture capitalist investing in skateboard parks in Iraq. He said something along the lines of skateboarding and youth culture being the path to rebuilding the country and promoting independence. I couldn’t agree more. There is a link to the site below where you can get in touch with the Program Director and help contribute. Shit is genius.

Skateistan is Afghanistan’s first dedicated co-educational skateboarding school. The school will engage with the growing numbers of urbanised youth in Afghanistan through skateboarding and provide new opportunities in cross-cultural interaction and education. Students will be selected from a range of different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Student capacity will be developed in skateboarding, skateboarding instruction, project management, life skills and English. Our aim is to develop a program that empowers youth to take leadership on issues important to them and build networks that will counter current ethnic barriers.

I stayed in a hotel across Kabukicho once. Right away i knew we were somewhere seedy. Turns out Kabuki cho is the biggest red light district in Tokyo.   I cruised around looking for trouble,  but never seen no shit like this. This episode is pretty insane.  The next 3 are totally Fricken Mind Blowing! Check it at vicetv if you dare see whats really going on.
