Wow! Hyped to see all the action on Slap!
We love and appreciate your support.
Natural Koncept did start in Hawaii but has been run out of my NYC apartment the past 15+ years.
Definitely respect the roots in Hawaii though. Katch created all of those sick graphics back in the day.
Since 2005sh we added riders Bonestalone from Virginia, JJ Colon from CT (2008) TalKual and Juan Pablo Velez from Colombia (2010), Carlo Carezzano from Santo Domingo (2018) - currently living in NYC.
These are the skaters that kept coming on tour, working hard and filming full parts for our videos...
Naturally we moved on, but the grit and skate rat in our crew shines' hard every single day in the streets...
Mad respect to our OG's:
Katch, Sean S., Choppy Omega, Kale Sandridge, Caz Helmstetter, Sam Clemens, Roger Cabodul, Ian Okui, Chris Kays, Bobby Rodriguez aka Bob Gnarly, Larry Schuster, Craig Williams, Billy Wilson, Aaron Spitko, Darryl "HeyHead" Freeman, Richard "Bronson" Gregory, Nick Yamasato, Aaron Sheare, Craig Whitehead, Jeff Logan, Trevor Uriona, Wade Abreu, Adrian McElhaney, Adrian Mallory, Sean Reilly and we will never forget Brendan Leung. R.I.P.
We're so thankful for all the amazing memories from this crew...
Caz's barn jump stands out as a big one. So many Choppy stories it's impossible to put into words and Kale is still crushing' pools in Hawaii to this day. Such a G.
Sean Reilly is putting out footage on the daily. Rippin' every spot to shreds with his Shitty Kids Crew.
Chris Kays is skating hard and runs Hickam skatepark in Oahu.
Dave "the Dave" Davis is still on the team ripping in Denver.
Our new artist is a NYC legend named Dalt One. I met him in the LES art scene back in 2011.
We're about to release our 7th full length in April 2021 - untitled at the moment.
The previous 6 were:
Illegitimate Bastard Child (edited by Katch and myself)
Dysfunctional Family (edited by Katch and myself)
Creepin' 4 Life (edited by me)
High Class Creepin' (edited by me)
Creepin' Across the USA (edited by me)
Steady Creepin' (edited by me)
Anyway that's where we're at today.
We appreciate all of the core skaters and shops that continue to support us - Magic Bullet, Labor, KCDC, Pacific Drive, Circle A, Bills Wheels, SPOT, Stratosphere... and so many more.
We finally got distribution back in Europe through MDCN out of Hamburg.
Keep rippin' tough in the streets!
