VANSWarpedTour: WhatsUpWithTheSoCalProject

 It was a blazin hot day in Chula Vista California, the speakers where stacked to the sky, mo hawks where spiked & Dyed, and the Fokai SoCal Project was on the scene of the 2008 VANS WARPED TOUR. We partyed like rock stars (w/ rock stars) and even met some OG’s in the action sports world. (Note: Buy VANS! The owner is super cool. Vibes like Fokai.) Anyway, I cant even remember how many bands there were but lets just say a shet load. Every where you looked there was a mosh pit stomping to some of the most heaviest tunes I’ve ever heard and randomly a crew of dudes would skate through on FreeLines never missing a beat.We posted up from our booth that we shared with Overload Skate Shop (BTW- Thanks to A-Ron for hooking that up). We were surrounde by 3 stages, not to mention we were the only booth next to the only half pipe at the event. Ya Bro! Needless to say, while passing out about 2000+, flyers we had the best seats in the house. Special thanks to Sky Vodka & Lost Energy Drink for making the day even more interesting. Here are a few pics from that day.Final Plugs: To see who played this years tour visit www.Vanswarpedtour.com for entire band line up. Stay tuned to for the Fokai FreeLine Collabo coming soon. Visit www.FreeLineSkates.com if you don’t know what that is yet. Also, listen to Westside Story www.myspace.com/oficialwestsidestory. The keybordest Mike Quinones is Chamorro. Realy.Thanks to the most high for another memorable day in the The Fokai SoCal Project.Shoot- Boogie

Hafa Adai,

Altius.Citrius.Fortius. Higher.Faster.Stronger. The2008Olympics. Is over and representatives for and from TeamGuam will be with us to share their stories

Of the incredible performances of the largest assembly of the worlds greatest athletes.

Congratulations and welcome back for Ric Blas Jr and Maria Dunn. We are very proud and honored  That you worked and sacrificed so hard to wave our flag proudly in your rightful place among the world giants in the FarEast.

After capturing our frst world championship in submission grappling, Some exiting times for us in GuamBJJ Congratulations to Luis Reyes of theGuahanTopTeam for his 6submission victories to a silver medal finish at the DesertStorm Gi and No-gi tournament in Arizona  on August 16^th. Guam’s new resident BJJ Blackbelt and head Jiujitsu Instructor at the PurebredJiujitsuAcademy has released into the world market his long-awaited instructional DVD with a large emphasis onGuam and his decision to relocate here

With Fowler’s signature commitment to Guam BJJ,The DVDrelease of “HafaAdai” is an excellent step forward in our islands fusion into the fast lane of competititve world Jiujitsu and another card up our sleeve in the progress of Guam Sports Tourism.

The2008MarianasOpen Submission Grappling and BrazilianJiujitsueTournamanet.is only 2 days away.  MikeFowler will headline the event as one half of the events featured superfight  to hopefully come back from 2decission-losses against Daisuke “Amazon” Suge of Japan.

 

After reading throught the headlines of the PDN and following RJ Blas and Maria Dunn n line, its not difficult to often recall them close to a decade ago in training. It brings the realization that we are in the next generation and next level of Guams investments in combat sports.. The last couple of years have been exciting for us and our islands. We have so much to tell and some pretty cool experiences t share as fans, promoters, and/or performers. The reality of it is that our kids will have even more..

Thee really is a lot of serious talent in our youth and some remarkable skill in our adults.It seems with every advancing grappling event, talent is getting better and competition is getting tighter..Competitions  a great way to get the island more tuned as a whole so that we all have a better understanding  of where and how our flag really stands in performance comparisons in international competition This structure has improved in us the ability to look past victory and defeat over others and to be able to celebrate the  will for sef improvement in the commitment to sacrifice  as well as  the inititiative into competition.

So long as we realize that greatness can live even in the absence of great competitive results: the pursuit of progress and performance, reminds us that there is a light for lessons for everyone in athletics that, with all due respect,  burns even beyond  the Olympic Flame.

Thanks for dropping by.
