Personally I think that the new Nimh Shaman skate is the best looking Nimh to date. The skin gives the skate an ultra clean look and the orange highlights stick with Nimh’s original flavor.

For this edition, Nimh gives the Shaman skate GC Featherlite 2 frames, with Nimh wheels, ABEC 5 bearings and GC 42mm anti-rockers for an ultra fun skate to roll in.

SUMMON YOUR INNER SHAMAN POWERS!

Nimh Skate Company - 7 days in California Tour 2008 from Rat Tail Vimeo Page on Vimeo.

FROM THE RAT TAIL BLOG, THIS PHOTO HAS A CAPTION OF “Hanging out in Justin Hertel” WHICH ONE GOT THE FIRST CRACK AT IT YOU THINK LOL

THE RAT-TAIL BLOG  HAS A VERY DETAILED WRITE UP OF THE NIHM CALIFORNIA TOUR. NONE OF IT MATTERS UNTIL YOU GET TO THE PART WHERE THEY GET TO AGGRESSIVEMALL AND HAVE THE BEST TIME EVER. TAKE THIS LITTLE BLURB:

“When the sun went down we headed to downtown Palo Alto to eat some pizza. I love this place because there are endless amounts of amazing women that live here. “

FUNNY STORY ABOUT THIS PLACE, IM PRETTY SURE THEY WENT TO PIZZA MY HEART, WHICH A GOOD LOOKING LADY FRIEND OF MINE HAPPENS TO MANAGE. SO, I WAS IN THERE LIKE 3 MONTHS AGO MOOCHING PIZZA FROM HER - SHOOTING THE BREEZE, WHEN ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES COMES UP TO THE MANAGER LADY AND IS ALL LIKE “THERES A DUDE PASSED OUT OR DEAD IN THE BATHROOM, WE CANT GET HIM TO OPEN THE DOOR” SO SHE GOES AND GETS THE KEY AND THERES SOME ALCOHOLIC IN THERE WHO HAD PASSED OUT IN HIS OWN FILTH AND HIS PROSTHETIC LEG HAD POPPED OFF AND WAS  SCATTERED ALL WILLY NILLY ABOUT THE TOILET ROOM FLOOR. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAD TO CARRY HIM OUT TO A BENCH, PROP HIM AND HIS LEG UP IN THE SUN AND POUR COFFEE DOWN HIS THROAT UNTIL HE CAME TO.

ANYWAYS, THE NIHM TEAM DID A GREAT THING BY GOING OUT AND CONNECTING WITH SKATERS ALL UP AND DOWN THE CALIFORNIA COAST, ROLLING NEEDS MORE HANDS ON COMMUNITY CONNECTION LIKE THIS - LEAVE IT TO THE SKATER OWNED BRANDS TO REALLY STEP UP AND SET A POSITIVE EXAMPLE. THANKS GUYS.

SO TO GET THINGS STARTED, LAST FRIDAY THE NIHM TEAM CAME BY THE WAREHOUSE TO SKATE AND DO ALL THAT STUFF,  BUNCHA SKATERS FROM THE BAY CAME OUT AND CHILLED, SKATED AT THE BOX. WHO WAS THERE?? SHIMA AND JON ELLIOT, MONTRE LIVINGSTON, JOEY CHASE, SOME GOOD DUDES FROM EUROPE, I THINK A SET OF TWINS TOO. ANYWAYS - MY DUTIES INCLUDED BBQ’N, TAKING PICTURES AND NURSING A HANGOVER SO I WAS SPREAD A LITTLE THIN + I SUCK REAL BAD AT TAKING PICTURES CUZ I DONT REALLY KNOW HOW TO USE THE CAMERA

THIS WAS A LITTLE DUDE DRESSED IN A HAT, HE SKATED WITH THE BIG BOYS WHEN A LOT OF OTHER DUDES DIDNT EVEN LACE UP.

DENIM SPANDEX SHUFFLE

SMOOTH FRONT FARV FROM A LOCAL

MONTRE HAD BEER BOTTLE CAPS IN HIS HAIR-DO, AND DID THE BEST TRICKS -I THINK THERE WERE LIKE 3 SEPARATE 360′S THAT WENT INTO THIS TRICK.

PRETTY SURE HE WAS GOING BACKWARDS ON THIS TRICK

THE NEW BUDDY SYSTEM FOR DOING TRICKS

THIS COULD BE TURNED INTO THE JORDAN SILHOUETTE OF SKATING

YOU SEE THAT TORILLA CHIP TRUCK IN THE BACK, I ALWAYS USED TO THINK IT WAS A DRUG FRONT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I HAD NEVER SEEN ANY TORTILLAS OR ANYTHING COME OUT OF THERE. SO ONE DAY I WONDERED OVER THERE AND POKED MY HEAD IN AND THERE WERE ABOUT 30 FOLKS IN THERE ALL WEARING MASKS TOILING OVER TABLES COVERED IN WHITE POWDER. SO SHIT, I GUESS THEY WERE ALL JUST MAKING FLOUR TORTILLAS, I WAS GONNA ASK IF I COULD TAKE SOME HOME BUT A 9 YEAR OLD KID POINTED AN AK47 AT ME SO I WET MYSELF AND LEFT.

THIS DUDE WAS FROM EUROPE SOMEWHERE AND WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO EAT ONE OF MY GOURMET HOTDOGS, AND HE KILLED IT ON THE BOX

DUDES CLUB, WARMIN UP DA CAR

“WUSSUP?” “NOTHING, JUST CHILLIN’ ON DA FLOOR NEXT TO SOME GARBAGE”

NATTY FRONTSIDE WINS THE COMP

YEAH, ALL THE PICTURES I TOOK ARE PRETTY MUCH FROM THE SAME SPOT, IM THE BEST PHOTOG EVER

“OMG SIGN THIS POSTR PLZ IM UR BIGST FAN EVR!!!!” COOL IT SHAWN, KEEP YOUR COMPOSURE.

PROS @ THE BBQ. THERE WAS ACTUALLY NO  COALS IN THE BBQ, I JUST USED THE TORCH THERE BY THE TARP TO CHAR ALL THE H-DOGS, ANYONE WHO ATE ONE CAN PROBABLY ATTEST TO THEIR BLACK AS NIGHT + CHARRED NATURE

THE NEW AMALL SIGN SHOW’D UP:

24KGOLD CLOTHING IS ONE OF MY SIDE PROJECTS. PRINTED ON AA SHIRTS, HAND DRAWN LETTERING AND GRAPHICS, CUSTOM TAGS AND ALL THAT MESS - MY BUDDIES IN THE WAREHOUSE LIKE IT AND HOPEFULLY SOME OF YOU OUT THERE MIGHT LIKE IT TOO. AVAILABLE DIRECTLY FROM AMALL.

DON’T FORGET, TOMORROW THE NIHM TEAM WILL BE POSTED UP AT THE AMALL WAREHOUSE. COME ON DOWN IN THE AFTERNOON, 3 PM, TO HANG AND SKATE WITH ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS OUT THERE. SHIMA, JON JON BOLINO, MONTRE LIVINGSTON AND JOEY CHASE WILL BE THERE, WE’LL HAVE ALL THE RAILS AND THE BOX OUT, ALL THAT GOOD STUFF - IM GONNA TRY TO CONVINCE JUSTIN TO LET ME BBQ, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN DEPENDING ON IF THE GRILL WASNT DESTROYED BY THE FIREWORKS WE PUT IN IT LAST TIME IT WAS USED.

FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE, SHIMA JUST BEING A KILLER.

YOU KNOW WHATS THE WORST? YOU HEAR A GOOD SONG AND THINK TO YOURSELF, “THIS IS A GOOD SONG, IF THE REST OF THIS BANDS MUSIC IS THIS GOOD I COULD REALLY GET INTO THEM” AND THEN YOU GET THE REST OF THEIR MUSIC AND IT SUCKS, AND YOU’RE LIKE ‘WTF THESE GUYS TOTALLY SUCK AND MAKE CANDY ASS MUSIC’. THATS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME LATLEY: THE GREENKEEPERS, OF MONTREAL, TV ON THE RADIO (IM STARTING TO LIKE A LITTLE MORE) UHHH LCD SOUND SYSTEM, A BUNCH OF OTHERS HAVE NOW CLOGGED MY IPOD WITH MUSIC ID RATHER DIE THAN LISTEN TOO. ITS BEEN BACK TO BASICS FOR ME, METALLICA AND QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, UNTIL I FIND SOMETHING NEW TO LISTEN TO. SO ALL I’M ASKING YOU GUYS IS:

WHATS SOME GOOD MUSIC?

thanx.

I know this is a little late, but I just realized it never got posted. So here it is in all of it’s glory with a Juelz Santa song and everything. A quick look at the new, not so new Nimh V.2 and Klyle G getting down.

The Nimh Brian Shima V.2 pro skate is the first Nimh skate to be offered as a complete aggressive skate that is ready to roll right out of the box.  The Shima V.2 features GC Formula 1 Flat frames with 58mm 90a Nimh wheels, ABEC 5 bearings and 42mm GC Nylon anti-rockers for that professional complete set up that you have been looking for.  It also features a new Vicious liner with a soft teri cloth lining around the ankle area and a Velcro strap for tightening.  The skate is completed with an awesome black and red color scheme and a stylishly designed outer soft shell that really gives it an original look.

The Nimh is a high end skate that is personally hand designed by Brian Shima and manufactured with precision and detail. This skate is made to perform at a professional level. The new Free Groove System is incorporated into the NIMH soul plate and is designed to adapt to your personal skating style. Most skate companies lock you into a pre-set groove….NIMH does not. NIMH advises skating a mildly waxed ledge for 1-3 hours to create your own custom groove. The Nimh also features an unconstrained toe system that exclude the excess materials found in the shells in the toe area of the skate. This allows for more breathing room and eliminates toe pain while skating. NIMH is 100% skater owned and operated. This company was created by skaters for skaters and will be run accordingly. It’s time you choose your side!

Get yourself a complete pair for only $275. Check more out on them here. 

Straight from the Rat-Tail informational superhighway web log post, here is a look at the new Shima Pro Skate. Looks good, and good looks.
