Australian Limes Hotel Keeps The Excitement Up

We get a lot of love from our people in Australia...so I thought I'd plan a trip there. I started doing a little research to find the perfect spot to stay. Looks like fun right, I introduce to you Limes Hotel. This may be one of the most uniquely designed hotels in the world. Limes Hotel in Australia offers an interesting voyeuristic structure, offering a scandalous peek inside the rooms’ windows. If that wasn't exciting enough I'll be able to parlay in the club scene while sitting along the top of the skyline. The outdoor bar/lounge offers plenty of space to sit, dance, drink, or get a little more comfortable with and Aussie babe. You gotta live a little lavish when traveling to new spots...more pics after the teleport.


Look at those little two person huts, pop a bottle, herbs and it's a wrap!

The view...both the screen and the skyline...this is a magnificent setting for making new friends. Those drink tables with the built in lights are an excellent touch to the ambiance of the rooftop. Make sure you check in to this hotel is you're visiting Australia any time soon.

Cali Road Trip To Long Beach (boat/beverages/bud/babes/bbq)

So there was a shortage of blog post yesterday due to the fact that some of our team went on a road trip to Long Beach. The hood Snoop is always shouting out, we were invited by this production company working on this reality show. They saw the blog and wanted us to be involved. Broham and I took to the road and met everyone at the marina...only to find there is no yacht, but instead a party boat. A bit of a letdown but it was poppin regardless. People sure know how to bloodclot party in Cali, teleport for photo gallery:

Hip Hop, It's More Global Than G4's

When you think of Hip Hop these days you consider both the music and the movement. Rappers may not realize what an impact their music has, but fans of Hip Hop span all across the globe. Take Brazil for example, almost as if Hip Hop had just been discovered Brazilians focus more on the roots of Hip Hop. The focus is on b-boys, graffiti artist, and just raw music. The flash, money, and cars is left in the states. Current takes us on yet another trip through Brazil to uncover the surging Hip Hop movement of the Cariocas. Enjoy:

Bodyboarding In Brazil

Bodyboarding has always one of my favorite extreme sports. I started when I was young down at Virgina Beach. My first board was crappy, pretty much a Styrofoam block. Then pops upgraded me to the Shark Odyssey and from there I copped the Morey Surf Slayer with air pocket slick bottom. There were all beginner boards, so naturally I had my eye on my next board. Mike Stewart, arguably the best bodyboarder in the history of the sport had just released his line of boards back in 1999. So I copped my first Mike Stewart board during a surf trip to Cali, I didn't really get to test it out on serious waves until last winter during a trip to Brazil. While in Rio I tried to surf as much as possible, to my surprise I sucked compared to the locals. Like actually got made fun of in Portuguese by small children from Rocinha favela. The waves in Brazil are killer, in more ways than one. First, the waves are perfect for learning how to ride and from there improving. Secondly the waves can kill you, yea I kinda almost drowned twice...no quit in me though, headed back for round two this winter. Peep the bodyboarding scene down in Brazil, this is yet another sport that defies race/class. Thanks to Dan Hamer for the production:

Globe Patrol: Sao Paulo Graffiti

Our boy Rico shows his hometown of Sao Paulo in this episode of Globe Patrol. He hits the block and gets to the nitty gritty scenes of the Sao Paulo street scene. It's amazing to see how hip hop is such a global phenomenon. Real hip hop might I add, the kind that started with b-boys breaking and wild style graffiti. Check it out:
