2010 World Champion Jensen Kimmitt Is Loco With His Yo-yo
Yep, after you thought it couldn’t get crazier then the World Cup Sauna Sitting or the World Cup Air Guitar, here is a bit more conventional but still very underground World Cup: Yo-yoing.
The craziest part though is that this dude Jensen Kimmitt is getting freaky with his Yo-yo and it looks freaking amazing! I mean, if you’re a nerd playing with your yo-yo everyday, then this must be like the Michael Jordan of Yo-yoing. Guy has swagger like Hov on this song by the Gorillaz and he goes on for almost four minutes keeping you entertained with new moves all the time.
He obviously won the 2010 World Championship, but check out his ‘I Love You’ at the
Mac Miller’s Killer Video For ‘Nikes On My Feet’
A new young rapper has arrived, but I wonder how big this kid from Pittsburgh is going to be. The biggest thing he has got going for him is the fact that he’s white.
White people need a new lyrical savior after the failure of Eminem, Marky Mark and Snow. Mac Miller and Asher Roth are now the biggest contenders to prove that white people can rap and I think Mac’s mixtape K.I.D.S. is a good step for him to earn the crown (just so you know, the Beastie Boys be holding the hip hop belt for life so we’re not even going there).
The thing with Mac is though that he’s not that lyrically deep and only raps about his swagger and his moms occasionally. It makes him sound like a twelve-year old, but
Light Bulb Chess Game By Brent Blake
A new variation chess set has been designed by American architect/designer/chess player Brent Blake. His ‘Electric Chess Set’ uses multiple plug bases and different color light bulbs to create a complete chess game.
Since it was a bit too difficult to create actual pawn and queen shaped lights, Blake decided to use the colors of the bulbs to differentiate them from one another. The different color of the plug bases (black or white) on the board represent the white and black fields. The sockets also differ in color and represent the colors of the two competing teams
Jason Hackenwerth’s Balloon Art Beats The Guys On Istiklal
Even when they’re good, they suck: Balloon artists. You see them standing on the street working pretty damn hard to create a dog or a gun out of a bunch of balloons. I never thought that there would be a day that I would be so impressed by someone who creates art out of balloons.
Jason Hackenwerth got his Masters in Fine Arts from Savannah College of Art and Design. Since graduating he has been busy making art in a lot of different ways, but he’s mainly known for his balloon art. The creatures he comes up with are beautiful and colorful from a surreal world.
Now if you could get a balloon clown to your son’s next birthday party that is as good as Jason is, you know you know…
Lastik Pabuc Turns 1 Year Old & Mr. Pabuc Is Back In Town!
Wow, we can’t believe it’s been a year already! On the 14th of August 2010, we let our 1-year Anniversary slip by as sneaky as my return to Turkey. It’s been such a great year with all the support we had from you guys and gals! Soon we’ll find a way to celebrate it with all of you.
In our 2nd year we expect to come even harder with some new brands, new clothing, a couple of events, a killer mixtape, more blog posts (haha!), and of course more sneakers! So keep an eye on the blog and I promise you that the website is going to be online before the end of the week and we’ll be back in business like you expect from us.
Thanks again to all of you out there for making Lastik Pabuc possible!
Audio Bullys Make A Sneaker Filled Video For ‘Only Man’
I’m so preoccupied with my World Cup sweepstakes (in which my ass as been severely kicked several times) that on my time ‘off’ I tend to surf the web in search of new music.
Now the following video might not be that creative as OK Go‘s video for ‘End Love‘, but the amount of sneakers and the way they pimped them puts a smile on my face. Of course the song is nice as well even though it’s not as good as what we’re used to from Audio Bullys.
Their latest album ‘Higher Than The Eiffel‘ has some ok songs, some bad songs and two really good ones. ‘The Future Belongs To Us‘ and ‘Dynamite‘ remind us of their best songs ‘Keep On Moving’
Now You Just Need To Dance To Charge Your Mobile
I doubt if anyone will get their hands on these in time for the Efes Pilsen One Love Festival, and of course I also doubt if anyone in Turkey would need these, but this is a pretty cool Summer item.
Basically UK mobile operator Orange teamed up with Got Wind for this classic wellington boot the extra is that they produce energy. So when you walk for 12 hours you can charge your mobile device for a full hour.
It works by converting temperature differences captured through thermoelectric modules into electric voltage. Got it? Doubt it! Anywho, the perfect place

Hans van der Meer Photographs Amateur Football Fields
When you play amateur football, you feel that the whole world revolves around this. Screw the Champions League, the Euro Cup and the World Cup. The only thing that counts is your team in the third division of the amateur senior leagues in district West II in Holland: Swift 4!
Hans van der Meer noticed that all these amateur players feel the same way and that they all go to their club/pitch like they’re going to Wembley. Where you play doesn’t matter, when the first whistle blows it’s action.
And so the photographer went across Europe to take beautiful shots of even more beautiful football
Another Super Creative Video by OK Go – End Love
It’s incredible to see how many cool videos can come out of one band. OK Go‘s newest video is for their song ‘End Love’ off the album ‘Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky‘ and just like the post we did on their previous single ‘WTF?‘, this is another amazingly entertaining piece of art.
Directed by Eric Gunther, Jeff Lieberman and the band itself, the band members sport colored tracksuits in this stop motion video. The quirky movements combined with the up-beat song and the time-lapse tricks make this a must-see video. The impressive thing is that it doesn’t look
