Adidas Leather Shoes, Fast Food Skate boards, 10th Annual Transworld SKATEboarding Awards Announced, Get Panorama Skate DVD for RM10 & Umusu is .....

Adidas has unleashed Gazelle Ops shoes which are perforated leather shoes, and as you can see here, they have the office look without sacrificing style. That's a good news for yuppies!


The Source with the help from Danial Curtis, produced skateboarding decks with western foods graphics! We indeed like the concept since the most boards are skull, fire, brands, pro-skaters motivated and we are kind of tired to see those stuff. With graphics such as hot dog, french fries, burgers etc, you will definitely promote unhealthy diet during your skateboarding sessions.


The 10th Annual Transworld SKATEboarding Awards has been announced and here are the winners :

1. BEST ROOKIE: Silas Baxter-Neal
2. BEST STREET : Guy Mariano
3. BEST TEAM: Habitat
4. BEST VIDEO: Lakai, Fully Flared
5. BEST TWO VIDEO PARTS: Stefan Janoski, Inhabitants & Nothing But The Truth
6. BEST TRANSITION: Dan Drehobl
7. BEST VIDEO PART: Guy Mariano, Lakai, Fully Flared
8. TWS READERS’ CHOICE: Guy Mariano
9. TWS LEGEND: Tony Hawk

Congratulations!

The Skate Malaysia has done something against the main current. When the world oil price keeps soaring up, Skate Malaysia reduced the Panorama : Dimana Kita Berada Skate DVD, Malaysia's first skateboarding video in DVD format, to as low as RM10 (add another RM2 for postage). This is for the video's first anniversary. Happy birthday! Contact webmaster@skatemalaysia.com or wankedah@skatemalaysia.com to grab your copy. The killing price is for a limited time only.


Hey, did we mentioned it is the DVD's first birthday? Hey, that makes us one year old too since our first blog post is about Malaysia first DVD skateboarding video! Thanks for your support! Umusu.com is getting stronger and stronger each day! Thanks!

We do receive feedbacks from readers regarding our fashion guide. We have planned to tune it up, keeping it simple but we are now on research. It takes time, so wait. We are also considering other brands and fashion for grown ups, without neglecting the street looks of course.

Right now, our main intention is to keep you updated with street culture related news, which only matters (that's what makes us different) gathered around the globe. We don't go crapping around for a metallic boxer or stuff like that. :)

Whatever it is, umusu.com is more matured and we are going to push our and also the world street culture scenes, as much as we could! Pray for us!

A Decent Artistic Skate Video, Adidas' Giants Mad, Joy Division Zune, Umusu Hacked and Exclusive : Lose Wight, No Exercise, Save Money

Checkout this skate video titled Easy Steady (link below) from Skate Fairy, featuring Chocolate Skate Team. This is indeed a superb-artistic-must-see skate video! Not for those who is into skate skills since this video is more towards the artistic aspect of skateboarding. We wonder how do they made it in single shot without a glitch. They must have been practicing a lot! Easy Steady skate video really reflect the spirit of skateboarding and at the same time, manage to exhibit the culture and daily life of the people in those area! Two thumbs up!

Download here : http://skatefairy.com/Choco_easy_steady_web.mov

Look at how Adidas promote UEFA EURO 2008. They produce giants! Even giant shoes too. With this kind of promotion, we bet Adidas do not need to pay a cent to be on televisions world wide.


Checkout Etnies In4mation collaboration shoes. But that's all we want talk about it since they wont be here dudes...


Peter Saville has done his magic again, now on Microsoft Zune. Available for 500 units, this special edition Zunes are for celebrating the release of 'Joy Division' DVD, a DVD regarding Punk band. Go grab em'.


Umusu got hacked. As you can see, most Umusu crew are lazy to check out the system in Umusu website. Maybe it is because we have done hours of brain washing for the past one year to set up this website and prefer to leave it as it since we do not want to mess up it anymore.

One day, one of our crew is doing some check ups to see the structure of the website since we are going to renew our subscription with our webhosting company. During the check, he found 2 foreign folders. We we check it, they are clone html files for 2 foreign bank accounts!

Nothing we can do except to delete it. Luckily, our stats shows that all those who get lured into the clone html files, leave immediately. Thank God. One of our crew contacted the web hosting company and yes, it is our fault to leave a 'hole'. Anyway, just to say to you guys, when doing online banking, go to the main page first. It kinda weird if a bank company is poor enough to have its own web server and prefer to share with a street stuff website instead.

Umusu Snippets.

Girls or boys, all of them do not want to be flabby and carry around extra fats. All of them want to be good looking, especially teens. But it is funny thing to see that they can be so obsessed, spending thousand of dollars for equipment that they do not need, to lose weight.

To make it clear, you only lose weight if your daily energy expenditure is more than you daily energy intake (eat). No matter how many kilometers you run, if you eat potato chips during the run, you still will produce fat if the potato chips supply more energy than what you use during the run.

To lose weight, it is simple. The main point to lose weight is to take off the extra energy, you do not need those fancy equipments. But that does not mean to starve! Simply take a lower calorie foods. If you used to eat a bowl of rice + ice cream + coca cola + french fries + fried chicken, now change that to rice + friend chicken + plain water (at the same time, you save your money too). Remember, extra carbohydrates will be turned to fat. Ask your doctor or dietitian regarding you lifestyle and for food advices.

Our bodies only begin to use the fat when the blood glucose is depleting or when our bodies try to get boost in energy, example, during exercise.

One more thing, our fats are for energy backup. Supposed that you lost in the jungle, the fats can keep you alive for weeks! So imagine the time you need to loose those fats when you are not starving. So be patient, it can take months and do not try to starve yourself after reading this! Starvation can cause you blood to be acidic which can kill! Like Skate Fairy Video title, easy steady! Remember, it takes months to burn the fat and always ask advices from doctors or dietitian first!

Nike SB Lobster, Translucent Windrunner, Kid donated skateboards, Weezer The Red Album Review and Deluge Just Wont Start Fix

Introducing Nike SB Lobster, a collaboration shoe by Nike and Concept for lobster-hungry-skateboarders and sneaker heads! Released on 31st Mei 2008, this pair of shoes cost you a cool USD 150. Hey, that got to be cheap compared to other limited edition shoes by Nike! First 50 'lobsters' will be given special wooden box and first 200 'lobsters' will be packed in limited paper back packaging plus some goodies.


Nike has made its famous hoodie lineup, Nike Windrunner, to be more translucent which gives effects on what you are wearing. We don't know whether this is a good idea or not. The good side is, you'll get 'fresh' each time you wear different thing. The bad, the effect might be inconstant. Hard to match up with other gears!


We have read an interesting article about a skaterboy who collected skateboards to donate to other kids, so that they can skate. Read the full story here http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/05/29/BAAO10QBIK.DTL . That proves his parents and moral teachers have done a good job isn't it?

Have you bought the new Weezer album, the Red Album? Hey, the songs inside are all great! They all remain 'Weezer' just like before. The sounds concept haven't changed. Congratulations Weezer! You don't like other bands who keep changing their 'songs concept'. We like 'Greatest Man That Ever Lived', 'Everybody Get Dangerous', 'Dreaming' and 'The Angel And The One'



We got a lot of trouble opening deluge last night! Even with uninstalling and reinstallationing, deluge just simply won't open! We can't find out whats wrong. Never we have error before when using deluge and we close deluge properly. Luckily, we got tech here. We know this is a street stuff website and no nerd allowed, but since we don't find the answer posted anywhere on the net, why not if we share our knowledge a little bit.

Here is what you can try if your deluge cant open, after you close it properly last time.
1. Navigate to C:\Users\*your username\ for vista and C:\Documents and Settings\*your username\
2. open deluge folder
3. copy "torrentfiles folder" and "persistent.state" to anywhere
4. now delete deluge folder
5. open deluge, the program, it shall be okay now. If not, you got to restore the deluge folder back and find other alternatives.
6. set up your deluge settings
7. after that, exit and close deluge
8. navigate to deluge folder in step 2. Copy "torrentfiles folder" and "persistent.state" from step 3 and paste (and replace) them in the deluge folder.
9. open deluge. your previous downloads shall be okay now.
