Aloha Boardsports' "Lords of Manila Town" Blaze onto NU 107

In case you haven’t noticed, Freestyle skating has taken over the streets of Manila. With Volcom’s recent “Thrilla in Manila” at Fort Bonifacio and “Sari-Sari Summer Skate Jam” at Rockwell, brought to you by Aloha Boardsports, world-class skate talent has graced our swankiest malls and subdivisions.  


Meet Jeff Gonzales, Jonathan “Otie” Tipan, and Rasheed Al Rasheed professional skaters from the Aloha Boardsports Skate team who have been lighting up the streets and taking flight over Manila, during the Sari Sari Skate Tour 2010, the Philippines’ first national skate tour.  


Long gone are the dysfunctional stereotypes of skating. Skating has traditionally held an underground following, but in recent times, it has become the most accessible form of creative expression. Guys and girls are equally adopting the sport, and it grows hand in hand with the sentiment of our youth and their fashion. -A willingness to challenge the norm and live and play with liberty. Listen in to hear about the latest gear and hippest street wear from Volcom, Matix, Chocolate, Girl, Flip, DVS and more that will have you amped and ready to skate.  


Tune in on Saturday at 12 Noon for The Magazine Show, hosted by fashion model Raya Mananquil and surfer/photographer Mark Dimalanta, to hear how these professional skaters are blazing the streets of Manila on NU107; and find out how Skating has improved their lives to serve a greater cause.  


Also, Listen in at 11 AM for The Reel Score and check out the sound track of Trainspotting, with music from Iggy Pop, New Order, Blondie and more! Special guest for the show is American Vendor Manager, Denim Butler from Idaho. The Reel Score is hosted by Roanna Ruiz and Martin Jelsma, only on NU107.  


Watch both shows back to back on the Live webcast at: NU107 FM
