Two douches and a footjam

Douche. You could easily miss one of the finer details of this picture, because only the thorough and vigilant douche-eye will pick up the faint Alpinestars graphic on his T-shirt. Perfect.















Douche. By the way, you might want to go easy on the rockstar stickers next time, boss. Again, please note T-shirt selection.
















Sick footjam. Total bummer. Again, note his hand going for the maxle, in desperation. Excellent timing.

Now you git sum

While watching the following videos, you will master such skills as

Advanced cycling techniques:



and

Shaking 'em up:


And yes, as far as I can tell, that guy in the cycling posture video is dead serious.

Funny talking, good riding

Now, you know I don't speak Spanish. But whether I can understand those crazy folks or not, that might be the coolest downhill track ever. Did you see how open the lines were, and haw raw the track was? It was rougher than shit. AND it was steep. AND long. And it even had a signature "go watch people die" section.

As Patrick would say, "It's the bomb."

Amber Aduja’s (National American Miss Queen 2010) First Lokahi Giving Project Fishnet Drive was very successful. 10 year old Amber, a St. Ann’s Model School 5th grader, coordinated a Lokahi Fishnet Drive and garnered $1312.00 in donations from our Kaneohe community within 4 hours. Her pageant sisters and their moms, her brother and his teammates, and other volunteers, even a couple of passerbyers, chipped in their time for a worthy cause. One woman, who is homeless, tirelessly held the Lokahi Fishnet for over three hours and was willing to hold it for another two hours while the rest of us were breaking down. This was a very touching scenario of goodwill and charity. This is what Lokahi is all about. Our community coming out for our community in need is what “Lokahi” a.k.a. “Unity” is all about.



Amber Aduja has scheduled a second Lokahi Fishnet Donation Drive for December 23rd and she is in need of more volunteers. Come join us. We will have T-shirts, fishnets and refreshments for you.

The Lokahi Giving Project strives to spread the “Lokahi Spirit” (Unity Spirit) with families in need, senior citizens, at-risk teens, children with special needs, and groups who really need some holiday cheer and basic necessities during the Christmas season. Lokahi works in conjunction with non-profits, group homes, shelters and hospitals to refer their most deserving and needy clients to receive Lokahi’s assistance.

The Lokahi Giving Project accepts many types of donated items including new or gently used linens, toiletries, cleaning products, non-perishable foods stuffs, toys, games, clothing and other household items. Gift cards for groceries or department stores are highly desired. Volunteers are in high demand during this time as well. For more information on the Windward City Donation Drive, please contact Melodie Aduja at 258-8889. For more information on the Lokahi Giving Project, please contact Mariellen Jones at 685-7721 or Angela Parker at 685-7333.
