Oakley Big Day Out in Hawaii

One of the four stops of The Oakley Big Day Out Surf series got under way in Honolulu, Hawaii. More than 150 competitors were signed up and amped to surf the long awaited Oakley Big Day Out contest. The waves were small as the contest was held in 1-2 ft waves. The divisions were menehune, boys, juniors, women’s and the shop team. Most of the families made a day of it as one parent said, "This is the best contest, we look forward to it every year, we make it our family Big Day Out". The kids were excited about Oakley’s contest and games, which made every grom feel stoked that they came down to the beach for this one. Wendell Aoki, HASA Director, had a really good vibe about the contest and said, "I think this is a good thing that Oakley does. Every year the kids are constantly asking me when the contest is going to happen and where. They even came down to Queens on the 4th of July weekend thinking there was a contest that day, only to find out it was a rumor."

#YEAH: Lil Jon Caps Off Impressive All Star Celebrity Apprentice Season In Third Place, Raises Funds for American Diabetes Association

Think you know Lil Jon? Think again.

Known from his early days for his bold, loud rap personality – laced with trademarked (literally) taglines, “Pimp Cups,” Grammy nominations and earth shattering tracks co-produced with fellow top artists across genres – the modern day Jon is a thoroughly evolved music and marketing machine.

Displaying the versatility of his brand and famous voice, Jon’s recent current club rattling collaborations with some of the top Electronic Dance Music (EDM) artists/DJ’s and worldwide party anthems have him at the top of his game in a new era of music.

Sure, the long-time Oakley artist/DJ is enjoying an extraordinarily broad reach across party people from all types of demographics – with a new album and all. And his high-profile DJ residencies at the Surrender and Blush Nightclubs at the Wynn/Encore Resorts in Las Vegas have him at the peak of prominence. But it’s the businessman, philanthropist and all-around solid guy that many in the general public haven’t been as familiar with.

Until now, that is.

Previously finishing fourth in his first try at Donald Trump’s infamously popular Celebrity Apprentice show, the matured entrepreneur was invited back to the boardroom for All Star Celebrity Apprentice this year.

And, as expected, he shined.

Winning one of the last episodes of the season for his selected charity, the American Diabetes Association, struck a deeply personal note with Jon – who’s had family members affected by the condition. And the public responded with a wave of appreciation and an altered view of the “King of Crunk.”

Partnering with LG USA during the episode, the electronics company helped celebrate Jon’s victory by donating sums of money to his charity for every share of the winning video (a commercial produced by Jon’s team) on YouTube. (See the LG app and video here: LG and Celebrity Apprentice! )

Displaying his business prowess and high-level work ethic, Jon maintained solid performances throughout the season. And although his recent try was just recently cut short with a third place finish (he was booted this past weekend), no one can deny that he gained massive amounts of respect from his fans: Both old and new.

Couple that with his voice still sampled by virtually every DJ on the planet – and featured on countless collaborative tracks rocked in clubs, stadium shows and massive electronic music festivals alike, there’s no doubt that Jon is clearly on top of his game. Even now.

Bikes, Athletes, Races & Hockey(?) at the 2013 Sea Otter Classic

Nearly ten thousand athletes and some fifty thousand fans make the annual pilgrimage to Monterey, California for the mountain bike season opener, the Sea Otter Classic. Now one of the world’s largest bike festivals, the Sea Otter Classic began as a modest one-day event in 1991 after a local bike shop suggested that co-founders Frank Yohannan and Lou Rudolph put on a mountain bike race. A fantastic tribute to the power of suggestion…
This past weekend the cycling community took over the Laguna Seca Raceway for the 22nd edition of the festival and the sprawling Monterey hillside was pulsing with activity. From bike demos and exhibitions of the latest and greatest gear the industry has to offer to athlete signings and of course the races there’s hardly time to take it all even over the course of four days. The one thing you can’t miss at this event however is the sense of community among cyclist of all ages, genders, disciplines and abilities.
Amidst all the hustle and bustle of the festival, the athletes are there as competitors first and foremost. They thrive on the energy and support of the crowds, channeling it into to power, speed and agility on the racecourse.
Oakley had a number of athletes from near and far who competed over the weekend scooping up more than a third of all the pro race podium spots. The women in particular, were on fire sweeping not one, two or three, but four full podiums owning the MTB Dual Slalom, Short Track, DH and XC races.
None of this would be possible however without the support of organizations like the Monterey Off Road Cycling Association (MORCA) that plays an integral role in trail maintenance or the creativity of Sea Otter legend, Keith DeFiebre who has been building the Dual Slalom course for the past 22 years. Countless hours go into the course build and deconstruction. Keith alone, spends 45 days perfecting just the Dual Slalom course.
It’s easy to forget that trails and courses don’t maintain themselves. For the sport to thrive, the cycling community has to play an active role in preserving the land they love to ride, which is why Oakley has made it a priority to not only support athletes, but also those leading the charge and wielding shovels in the name of mountain biking.
Interestingly enough, shovels weren’t the only things being wielded in Monterey this weekend…In the midst of a any festival you’re bound to stumble across things you’d never expected to see: a bike powered blender, people in weird costumes or a camera company daring fans to throw their equipment into a fishbowl full of water. This year however, we stumbled a across a true Sea Otter first… In addition to slaying it on the racecourse, we found some of our Canadian athletes including Geoff Kabush, Amanda Sin and Derek Zandstra of the Scott 3Rox Team playing a little pick-up game of ball hockey in the Scott booth on Sunday morning. Although typically bonded like family, as soon as those hockey jerseys were on, all bets were officially off! Needless to say, it was a fun surprise for onlookers as they roamed the festival.
As the 2013 Sea Otter Classic came to a close with an impromptu hockey game and the 2013 Mountain Bike season officially got underway, truck loads of bikes, gear and hoards of people exited the Laguna Seca Raceway excited to try the gadgets they purchased, hang the posters they got signed and re-inspired to go farther, faster and longer on the next bike ride.
Only 360 days until everyone returns to do it all again next year.
