John Cardiel
"All Hail Cardiel" - This is a well known quote within the skateboard subculture, and all that have seen John Cardiel skate can understand why this quote has been engrained in our skate-psyche. As well as skateboarding and snowboarding, Cardiel is also a mad man on a bicycle. Try not to hold your breath while watching him destroy on a track bike.

Natsuki !
Give it up for Natsuki Yasunami! Natsuki skates for 5Nuts skateboard shop, Japan.
In 2006-2007, Natsuki, myself, and friends skated all over Yokohama's Naka Ward, and Shin-Yokohama, every week, usually at night after we got off from work. We had some really fun times living the urban Japanese dream through skateboarding; guzzling beers and devouring butter peanuts outside of convenience stores, wandering the dense urban forest that Yokohama and major Japanese metropolises really are, and catching the last train home, exhausted with sweaty socks and beer breath. Experiencing Yokohama's vast array of architecture and 19th century European influence, as well as Yokohama's China Town, was a blast! And to experience it with Natsuki and friends (5Nuts crew) really made my time in the Far East memorable.

Dali x Kuniyoshi
Voluptas Mors, photograph by Philippe Halsman (in collaboration with Salvador Dalí), 1951Most people know of Salvador Dali; a Spanish painter, whose imaginative
renderings catapulted the surrealist movement pre-World War II. Dali’s imagination was distinctively authentic, eccentrically unique, and far-out groovy, man! But from where did his imagination propagate? Perhaps you can find slight similarities in
Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s woodblock prints, circa 1840-ish, and Dali's collaborative work, Voluptas Mors, that has wiggled it's way into pop-culture.

Give Thanks Every day
The world needs more role models, and we all need to realize we encounter role models everyday. Observe and learn from people, cultures, and nature; observe and learn from your surroundings in a positve manor.
