MYACHI - THE ORIGINAL HAND SACK

Tales from the Trip

January 25, 2004

We were in Tampa for the Tampa Am Skate Comp. Some amazing skating skilz were going on. TC and a whole group of his people were up there for the weekend. It was off-the-hook! Sean Frick was in the comp representing TC's Wake, Skate, And Surf and Myachi!
There were some cool Kats that I hung out with. Joe and his cousin Chris were their representing Tampa. Man, I've got to tell you the story about Chris…he's a wild man. He was skating up to an intersection and when he got there there was a semi truck stopped at the sign. He tried to role underneath the rig, but when he started to go under the truck started to move. He was rolled over by the back 4 wheels of the semi! He broke his ankle, femur, and collar bone. Important lesson to learn here….don't try and go underneath a semi when it's moving! The accident happened last October and he's already back to riding! He said he was riding again before the doctor gave him permission to walk.

There were people from all over the state and world at the skate comp. We got to meet a ton of cool people and weren't thrown out. Red Bull was a little bummed we were giving out SoBe sacks…but they got over it quick enough. I hooked them up with some regular sacks so they could cope with playing the game and not betray their company!

This was the first Myachi Club at the Funplex Skatepark in Merrit Island, our new members are… Cole, Joseph and Justin who had a pretty good first day overall, the Chi is strong in him I could sense it! Then me and Seth went to the Ron Jon Surf Shop of Cocoa Beach for the rest of the day. I have a feeling that next Sunday might be a new Myachi Club location at Ron Jon Cocoa Beach, this will be a One of a Kind Club!

Next Saturday the 25th is a special halloween party at the site and we are having a Myachio Madness Tournament… Show up and spread the word!

Myachi club was happening at the Inland Ocean store in Waterford Lakes Orlando from 4 til 8pm. Me and Seth “Myachi Machine” Paul, Tony and Tyler were there as the member of the KAOS Myachi Dojo, for the first official club meeting on the site.

We expect more Myachi Fanatics next week. We have a new move called the “Godzilla” created by Tony…/Cross Leg Over the Myachi and catch across under that leg has it lands on the floor real hard and the whole body goes down with it/
Good job Tony, you got your move bro!!! And I missed the Myachi Skateboard Jump the Gap Jam next to the movie theatre. Because…I lost my phone in parking lot and when I called it a guy 10 miles away told me he picked it up and he dropped it in a restaurant for me to go get it!!! Unbelievable…Hello people…when you find something on the floor of value, you leave it in a place next to where you found it, not 10 miles from it!!!

This was the 2nd Meeting on site and what a Jam that was! Me and Seth were jamming at the BoardWalk SurfShop at the Orlando Pointe in Orlando. The Fanatics that showed up were Rob, Ryan, Brett, Tanner, Micheal and Ben!!!
Tanner started a craze of tossing over, running under and catching it using the walkways and the Staircases of the site, it went on forever with prizes and skills!
Rob “Combo” became the first 3rd level “Baby Dragon” and will hopefully soon be the second sensei of the second generation…Seth is the first one! Everybody else kept on improving their skills in the Martial Art or the Sport. We also had a perfect score of 100 on the Big Air Catch Level1 by Rob.

October 12, 2003

Lucky us we get to go see another SkateBoard competition, this one is on Merrit Island at the Funplex Skate Park. Our friend Lewis and his Posse from the Skateboard Shop “NEWBLOOD” in Vero Beach invited us to go check it out!
We jammed a lot of Myachi Outside the hangar and in the parking lot, the 2 moments of the day were; A back Flip from 5’ above ground with a Myachi on hand the whole way and they other moment is a 80’ kick and catch in the parking lot. We hanged out in the Skate Shop ran by Chris. This might be the new spot for a Club on Sunday…If Chris makes a move and get in the game!

October 11, 2003

This was our first Myachi Club meeting at Ron Jon Surf Shop in Orlando. Me and Seth were jamming with Rob, Tanner, Brett, Joey and Justin. It was fun and exciting but we had to leave early to go catch a Surf competition in New Smyrna Fl. We got there at 3 because we were told it ended at 6 but it ended at 2 so we wasted our time getting good exposure with our cool ride!

October 10, 2003

My return to Vero Beach… it’s been a while, me and Seth went to pay a visit to Oslo Middle School, home of the coolest P.E teachers ever! We might have a tournament coming soon in November. We went and hung out at NEWBLOOD skate shop where I could finnaly meet LEWIS. A local legend of Skateboard. Then we went to the Mall like we used to when Toys and Game was there…Ahhhh we miss you Mary! And of course we got kicked out of the Mall quickly…Long live guerilla Marketing!!!

October 9, 2003

Me and Seth went to scout the Inland Ocean Surf Shop at Waterford Lakes Orlando. We will be starting a Club next week at the location from 4 til 8. We hope to see the 4 cool cats we jammed with…Daniel, Blake, Nick and Dustin.
We also went and jam at the Orlando Fashion Square Mall for a while say hi to the people there, they do play Myachi a lot because I’ve seen their Demo Sack and it’s a Old school blue Jean so soft and yummee!!!

October 8, 2003

First official Myachi Club at Boardwalk Surfshop at the Orlando Pointe. Me and Seth jammed for hours with our fanatics of “Natural Born Fury”…Rob, William and the rest of the gang! Rob made his own move called the “Robbie Popper”…/Popper, 360 with a toe stall to finish/. During that william was catching an amazing Spiderman catch over the walkway 2 stories tunnel! Good job guys, it’s because of Myachi Fanatics like you that Myachi Clubs can happen all over the place!

Oct.5th. What a weekend! We got a ton of free publicity this weekend. Be sure to check out NBC when they air the Wake Board World Championship. You’ll see the Myachi Mobile in the back ground. We eventually got kicked out because we didn’t pay to be there…but that’s how it always is. It was cool…for about 5 minutes the fellas on the loud speakers were talking up the Myachi Mobile and the Myachi Boyz…and we didn’t pay for any of it. “Sometimes it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission!”

Oct.2nd. What a week in Ft. Meyers and Naples. We crashed the birthday party for Matt and Andrew Engle! Thanks Engle family for opening your homes to the Myachi Boyz. We had a blast! And I’ve got to give a big shout out to my man Stink. With a name like that you’ve got to shout out!
Between the party and hangin’ out at TC’s and the Cape Coral Surf shop…it was an amazing week!

Aug.29th. Just got back from the Myachi Mans wedding!!! It was off-the-hook kinda fun!! Also, there was some addition news from the Myachi front…the Big Dog tied the knot as well with his girl Gret Dawg in Las Vegas…much to the surprise of all in Myachiland.

Aug.15th. Just finished up with the geeks at HP. It was cool but I miss playing with the Kids. Kids have a ton more imagination and are more willing to stick there necks out to try something new: ADULTS out there take note from the kids!!!

Aug.11th. What a week at Dollywood!!! We got over 2000 people into the game this week! There was a bit of excitement with the pro skaters too. They were a little jelouse of the Myachi Boyz impact. The kids were more interested in jamming with the Myachi than getting autographs from the pros. Sorry fellas for stealing your spot light, but such is the way of Myachi. You give it enough time and it takes everything over!!!! Mind, Body, and Spirit! You’ve got to realize though, you aren’t going to kill yourself playing Myachi! It is the ONLY EXTREME sport that won’t kill you!

Aug.1st. Left the OBX for the last time this summer and we kidnapped a new recruite for the Myachi Movement. His name is Seth “the Myachi Machine.” After a month of hanging with us in the OBX he decided he’d like to join the movement, and with the kind of skilz the kidz got he was a shoe in! Thanks again to everyone in the OBX for one of our best summers EVER!!!

July 20th. Finished off yet another amazing summer in Ocean City, MD. It was a tough week of jamming…so many people. But thank goodness for those peeps who hung out and helped us. Especially, my man Reece!!! It was a hard week but you helped make it a blast. We’ll be back next year so keep your eyes peeled for the Myachi Mobile!

July 14th. Yet another great summer in the OBX. I’d like to give a big shout out to James and his dad Jimmy, as well as, the rest of the family. Y’all rock!!! Man,, there are so many people I’d like to give a shout out to and thank for coming to jam with the Maychi Boyz. So if you met us this summer in the OBX…a Big Shout out, and Thanks!! Y’all made it blast.

July 5th. Another amazing 4th in the outer banks. We met a ton of cool peeps and may have found the Chosen One. The Chosen One is a kid who displays amazing Myachi Skilz right out of the gate. We met a kid named Seth who is virtually a Myachi Machine!

June 23rd. Just finished up with a weekend at Dollywood. Off-the-hook!!! Who would have thought Dollywood would be so much fun. It seems like it is in the middle of no where. But man, there is so much to do and so many cool people. Thanks y’all for making the opening of Kidsfest a blast.
It was cool we got to hang with pro skaters Shane Anderson and Alex Rodriquez. They’ve got mad skilz and are some down to earth kats.

2/4/03

The Kid and I went to be “Assistant Performers” for our friend Tyler Havron, who was Performing 6 school assemblies with the P.E classes of Mr. Flemming and
Ms. Brister at Oslo Middle School in Oslo, FL. Tyler is about to start a School
Assembly Tour in the Mid-West and the West for the end of winter and spring.
Myachi is one of the skill toys that will be in his Show. If you live there you might
have a chance at seeing him in your school for an “Assembly” and volunteer to
show-off some Myachi skills and get a free one or buy one if you see him on the
road to help him out on his “Journey”. Kid here, just wanted to give y’all a shout
out and say it was a blast. I love all the punks who are too cool to be cool. You
make my life exciting! We had a great time hanging out with Mary and Tyler from
Toys and Games in the Mall. I’d like to give a Big shout out to Paul who took his
game to the next level with some mad tricks. Mary (the other Mary) was having a
great time playing Myachi while calling a lot of “Magic the Gathering” for some
duels…I hope they also try some Myachi Duels when they wait! We have a new
system for throwing a “Myachi Madness Tournament” in schools using the P.E
Classes Periods to run clinics of Myachi Disciplines like…Longest Toss and
Catch… Altitude Stickage… 10’ Toss and Catch Speed Consecutive… Longest
Kick and Catch… And more! Spread the word and ask your P.E Teachers if you
are in the State of Florida or right next door and no worries if you live somewhere
else… We can send you the Rules and the Score Sheets for the running of your
own “Myachi Madness” in your own School organized by your teachers and
maybe even being the “Tournament Director” and have P.E Teachers as your
“Assistants”!!! Just send us a word by e-mail if you want more info about the
“Myachi Madness” School Assembly Program.

2/2/03: Inland Oceans, Winter Park

Thank God there are surf shops like this in the world. They are the coolest
people…Mikki, Becky, and Crystal ya’ll rock. You made a tough day a blast!
We met a ton of cheerleader’s with some mad-skilz…girl’s ya’ll are in the game
so you’ve got to spread the word! We had a great day at Inland Oceans …it’s
the best place in Orlando!

2/2/03: Galactic at the House of Blues
It was off-the-hook! There was a huge line to get tickets so we had plenty of time
and plenty of people to play with. You would think since we’re in Florida it’s
always warm, but last night it was freezing. Good thing we had Myachi. We
warmed a lot of people up with some serious crowd surfing. We met some of the
coolest people as well and they all had mad-skilz. I need to give a shout out to a
couple of people: Ben and wife Jen, Crazy Bill, Phil, Rich, Mark, and Brian and a
big thanks to Amy…ya’ll rock and made the show a blast!! We’ll be jammin’ at
your friendly neighborhood Inland Oceans near you, so come on out and jam
some time.

January 18-19, 2003 BettieSeries Queen of the Peaks:

It was off-the-hook, but man, was it ever cold!!!! We arrived at Sebastian Inlet at
8 am and it was just about as cold as it could be. I couldn’t believe anyone would
want to go out into the water. The wind was howling, but the waves were
building…about head high and the tide was rolling out. Luckily for us the sun
was out and we were jamming Myachi. If you weren’t surfing you wanted to be in
the game, it was the only way to stay warm.
The Big Dog and I met a bunch of cool peeps with mad-skilz. Even met a
few dads with some mad-skilz. Andy and his entire family were sick with skilz!!!
My-man Doug was just relentless with the new trixx…in just a couple of hours he
turned himself into a Myachi master, he’s just a little experience away from being
a True Myachi Master! Hey Doug, watch out for your sister’s though, they’ve got
more Myachi skilz between the two of them to keep you busy for a long time.
We were able to hook up with our boyz Andrew and Matt again. The
woman in charge of the BettySeries is Missy Sixby and these were her boys.
Fellas, it was a blast jammin’ with ya’ll. The skilz are getting sick. You’ve got to
see these guys on the Indo Board too. They mix the Myachi in with some crazy
Indo trix!
I’d like to give a big thanks out to all who made the day a blast and an
extra big thanks to Missy from the BettySeries for having us out there! We can’t
wait until the next time we get to jam with ya’ll.
Out on the waves young female phenom Karina Patroni was shredding it
up!!! Keep your eyes on this girl…she’s the girl who surfs like a guy, she’s going
to be one of the best around.
Check out the pics from the day in our photo gallery.

Tales from the Trip 9/13-9/14/02

It’s Friday the 13th and most think it an unlucky day…but for the Big Dog and I is was pretty lucky. We got to hang out at the YMCA during the sign up for the
Dewey Beach Triathlon. You ask why so lucky…if you would of seen all of the
beautiful girls who were in shape, you would think yourself pretty lucky. It’s funny I’ve traveled over seas a bunch of times and other countries think of Americans as fat and lazy. After a couple of summers on the boardwalk I was beginning to believe what they told me. Too many out of shape people, it’s unhealthy. So you could imagine being at a place where all the girls were beautiful and in shape. We loved it. The 14th was even better…we went and hung out at the staging area, jamming with a bunch of kids who were waiting for there parents to finish the triathlon. We jammed with over 1200 people, most of which had some madskilz.
To all we jammed with, we had a blast!!! And a huge thanks
goes out to our Favorite store in Rehoboth Beach…the Rehoboth Beach Toy and
Kite store and to one of our favorite owners Miss Rachel. Thanks for all of the
support little lady!!!
