Thrasher Magazine and Adidas teamed up to recreate the famous Y ramp of 1989,Hell of a Paradise, originally held at the Blaisdell Center, but in 2018 it was front and center on Waikiki Beach. Tons of the pros from the original contest, top pros of today, local rippers all went at it, jam format style for a decent chunk of change! ShittyKids Mikey Albert and Bedpan were there passing the camera around, here is what that captured of the madness! Enjoy! Congrats to Roman Pabich for the overall win and ShittyKids Cyprus Blanco winning best trick over spine!
On April 20th, 2018 we hosted a party across the street from the shop to celebrate Adidas x Krooked collaboration which honors Mark Gonzales 20 years with Adidas! Skate shop owners from all across the country and the Hawaiian islands came out to enjoy, thanks to Adidas! There was amazing food, dope music spinning from Dj Blam, and a skate jam
Bedpan Productions and heavy crew head to Westside for the freshly upgraded Ewa Beach park! About a decade now the skatepark in Ewa Beach has gone pretty much unskateable! Rain had eroded the flat ground to near gravel and huge cracks in front of every obstacle made just rolling up a ramp challenging. Thanks to the skaters and the community of Ewa Beach who petitioned, fundraised, and even helped in the making of new obstacles! Along with the Association of Skateboarders Hawaii they were also able to get a super smooth flatground poured! New bright lights as well, so if its too hot in the day, you can always get an evening sesh in! Mahalo to everyone who helped with this project!
Kailua native, skater and tattoo artist, Kekoa Lum has been an 808 Skate head since day one(literally 1995). We are stoked to team up with him on this new graphic tee. Come grab the shirt at 808 Skate and check Kekoa at Loyalty Tattoo in Kailua. Shoots! @koaluminati @mongeezy_
