It’s always an amazing experience to be able to give it back.
Chinese University of Hong Kong invited us to perform on 25th March 2010. It was one of the best experiences we’ve had in our 50+performances so far. The energy level that these students gave us was so amazing, it bounced back to them. We all had so much fun especially when they requested HU GE and they were even able to do all the HU GE moves. It’s was dope.
CUHK, thank you for having us and for sure CUAGAINSOON.
Another dope photo from our fam back in Japan, Mabo san AKA Mr. Sugar (Wabi Sabi Co Ltd). Seriously, Know1edge has the best crew in Japan. We love you all.
Thanks for the love.
Wow, this is our 4th time being invited to Malaysia to perform. Thank you so much for the love.
This time, our first show is in IPOH, the hometown of Michelle Yeoh, you know, that Malaysian Chinese lady that certainly can kick your ass in any movie?
Crouching something Hidden something movie, she’s in there too.
It’s a very small town but pretty chill, one thing for sure, they serve good food here.
We’ll be performing tonight (18th March) at Ipoh and drive to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow for another 2 shows in ...Read more

We will inform you all when the park will be open for public.

A week ago, we were talking about Bertrand Peltresne, a photographer from France that came to the shop. Remember? The guy with the name we couldn’t pronounce, no matter how hard we tried to pronounce it?
Anyway, some photos came out and yo, Bertrand took great photos and most importantly, 8FIVE2SHOP riders/crew represented for sure. Props to Chun Chai, Piet Guilfoyle and Dani Bautista.
Bertrand, sick ass photos, respect.
That’s right, this is what I’m talking about. Alien Workshop x Andy Warhol skateboard series, pretty sick! It’s crazy that skateboarding is so big, there’s no more parody, it’s all official now. We’ve been backing Alien Workshop and Habitat since we started in 1999 and GOOD JOB on this collaboration. I’m keeping myself a set, that’s for sure.
Every Alien Workshop pro skaters has their own Andy Warhol graphics; Jason Dill, AVE, Rob Dyrdek, Omar Salazar, Arto Saari, Dylan Rieder, Steve Berrics, Mike Taylor, Grant Taylor ...Read more
