Night Hawks

Ryan Flores made a cute little edit of him and his friends shredding the gnar.  Look closely and you can see a werewolf in the background of one of the clips.

PJ WILLIAMS HORRIBLE LIFE!

Toxic Blurbs

Haven't updated in a while.  Might as well watch Andrew Cauthen's part from Toxic Turdz.  Ryan Mayhew skates in the middle.  Filmed by DJ Williford.  Go buy the video and all of your wildest dreams will come true!

ABUNDANCE!!!

                        Abundance is everywhere!!! So are spots.  So are cats with money.  Embrace it.

CAVIAR

I was told by a disgruntled old man that there isn't enough New York Stuff on the blog.  Well, later this week, the newest Kitten rider will be revealed.  Hint: He's from New York.  Until then, you'll have to deal with the best vid to come out of New York this year...  Flipmode Caviar.  Its radness is evidenced by the zero dislikes on youtube.  Filmed and edited by Peter Sidlaukus.  I love this video.

Concrete bumps...Might as well

This is the clip that made me first want to meet Andrew Cauthen way before I even knew him.  It's him skating a little concrete bank/ tranny thing that he made out of a couple bags of cement.  You will sell all of your old Pokemon cards and cash them in to buy Kitten Skateboards. I think it cost about $50.  It looked like fun for days.  Unfortunately, a lady down the block wasn't into it and called the cops.  She told him, "Now that you made one, they're going to start popping up everywhere!"  Andrew's response- "Wow, that'd be awesome!!!"  Maybe these little quarter pipe monsters will start invade the all of the do it yourself foundation spots.  Might as well.

MEGA RAMP

I was thinking of the mega ramp the other day.  Skaters go pretty fast on that thing.  I think it's 60 mph on a standard mega ramp.  I heard they use trucks that don't even have the ability to turn, because turning would cause you to fly off the sides of the ramp.  Danny Way hasn't really had a good stunt lately.  So I thought of this one.  What if we constructed a Mega roll in ramp about 20 times the size of a standard one.  Then, Danny Way would strap a drill to his helmet.  He would drop in off the newly constructed roll in, and purposely ride off the side.  At such a speed with a drill helmet on, when his head hit the ground he would penetrate the Earth and begin his descent.  If my calculations are correct, at that speed, Danny Way could drill right through the center of the Earth.  If he were still holding on to his board, he would resurface at China.  Here, with his remaining velocity, he could once again back 3 the great wall of China.  Just a thought.  

RICHMOND! 28th street.

Richmond skating is sick!  So is the 28th Street spot.  It's just like Embarcadero except everything could potentially get thrown away in a day and skaters will never kick you out.  So I guess it's not really like Embarcadero.  Good times anyway.  Go check it out!!!  There's even a couple clips of Kitten's finest, Andrew Cauthen.  Filmed and edited by Jahmal Jordan. (Ironically, this is the man with the world's 28th highest ollie.)

KITTEN SKATEBOARDS HIT THE STREETS !!!!!

Kitten released its first batch of skateboards yesterday.  They all sold out.  Hence, we need to make more!  But that'll be done in a couple days.  As a reminder, Kitten skateboards are made out of 43% Canadian maple, 47% titanium, and 10% broken dreams.  Find them at your local skateshop or Chris Angel's brother. 

The streets are calling.

The days of the BUS BENCH will rise again.

Yes!!! Andrew Cauthen!

Kitten Skateboards is proud to announce the unraveling of our first team member...

ANDREW CAUTHEN!









I can’t think of anyone better to start the team off with. He rips. He never lets the man put him down. And he loves kittens. YOU HAVE A SUDDEN URGE TO GET YOUR MOM TO BUY YOU KITTEN SKATEBOARDS. Check out his blog at www.takepillsdie.blogspot.com. Might as well.


More footage from Andrew, the unraveling of our next rider, and pics of kittens to come. Here is one for the meantime.

HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN

I saw an awesome movie last night.  It shows that all of us have the power to change things for the better.  Thought I'd share the trailer. 

TO DO LIST:

Wow.  There's so much to do...
         The first batch of kitten skateboards should be out in one week.  We would have had them sooner but THE MAN put a hault in our plans.  It sucks too because we just had a fresh batch of hover decks.  But we were informed that there is a ban on hover boards due to lobbying on the part of Blackbox Distribution.  Unfortunately, the decks that we will release will be made out of wood.  Sorry. 

    The first inducted member of the Kitten Skateboards team will be revealed this week.  We inducted him through the welcome to the team ritual. If you saw people in purple robes in a dark alley around a fire near your house, no need to worry.  It was just ****** ******* joining the team. 


    I'll probably put up a clip of some sort.  Until then, you'll have to deal with this.

IF YOU SCREW IT UP, BUT NO ONE KNOWS, DID YOU SCREW IT UP?

It’s been 3 days and nothing’s been put up.  This is a clip from my days in Barcelona.  I get psyked when I think about how much stuff there was to skate and how many good skaters were always around.  If you ever have the slightest opportunity to travel there, DO IT.  YOU WISH TO BUY  KITTEN SKATEBOARDS.  After being there for two days, I started to become friends with Mike, a skater from Paris that had made the permanent move there.  This clip takes place about a week after I was there, when Mike rolled up with a crew at the famous Parallell Manual Pads.  I had the go to film, and his friends started landing crazy tricks on the pad within a couple minutes into the session.  It was really the first time I had been exposed to so much rad skating all at once. 

As I was having the filming experience of my life, my worst nightmare became a reality.  The tape had 2 minutes left of film of it.  And nobody showed any signs of slowing down.  YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO EAT MORE VEGETABLES.  I already had gathered more footage in a week than I had gotten in a year at that point, and it was all on that tape.  I couldn’t simply rewind and tape over it.  The good news was that I only lived 5 blocks away.  But I knew that if I left, somebody was going to land something and I was going to miss it. 

There were two other skaters that went to my school that were watching the sesh go down.  I wanted one of them to film while I was getting a new tape, but they were having no part of it.  BUY MORE KITTEN SKATEBOARDS.  Suddenly, after sitting down all day, they had something urgent to do.  They just couldn’t figure out what it was.  As sweat rolled down my face, I tried my best to haggle.  But as I was haggling, I realized I had lost. 

Mike’s friend Christof had landed his trick while I was talking.  It’s pretty easy to hear the moment when I realized I had ruined the clip.  YOU WILL CONSTRUCT A TOLL BOOTH OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND DEMAND THAT ALL RESIDENTS PAY TO ENTER AND LEAVE.  YOU WILL USE ALL THE PROCEEDS TO BUY MORE KITTEN SKATEBOARDS.

I went home, got a new tape, and Christof and everyone else landed a lot more clips.  But this was the trick that Christof really liked.  BUY KITTEN SKATEBOARDS.  We ended up skating a lot for the next two weeks, traveling around Barcelona, chilling at MACBA at night, and living the cliché skate dream.  But he had to return back to Belgium.  The whole time, he always brought up this clip, and told me he wanted me to email it to him when I uploaded it.  Luckily, I am the worst person in the world at uploading clips in a timely fashion. 

Time went on, and he never sent me his email.  He even ended up filming a trick of me.  I’ll never see it.  And I’m fine with it.  Because right now, Christof is sleeping in Belgium with the thought that there is a long lost clip of him landing this trick clean.  Without me talking over it, trying to get someone else to film him.

Go skate.  Might as well.  Video coming soon.    

IT'S HERE!

 Kitten Skateboards is proud to announce its own existence.  With it, a cult of awesome has begun.  Might as well drink the Kool-aid.  Be on the lookout for  bad-ass team riders, babes, stock market updates, skulls, and those things that pop up on the screen that say you win a free $500 shopping spree if you type in your social security number. 

P.J. Williams' Horrible Life...coming soon.
