We just kicked off the Escape the Fate “Dead Masquerade Tour.” It’s going to be insane and most venues are already sold out!!! So get you tickets quick and we will see you there. X HK Army

It was a long drive to Nor Cal, but it was well worth the journey. Big shout to Capitol Edge Paintball Park and Dave “Beast” Bains for letting us host the start of our HK Streetball tour. They have an incredible facility in Sacramento with an amazing layout and the dopest fields. The boys showed up bright and early. Even Bob Long came out to tell us war stories and how he kills bears with his bare hands and bow and arrows. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. Everyone had a blast and the boys definitely brought their “A” game because they smoked us in the first pros vs joes challenge!!! We had a ton of giveaways, stickers, grape drank and hot dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew to show up.

Thanks to our streetball mascot, Sasquatch, and everyone that made it out!! We are hosting all the pictures from the day on our Flicker account that can be accessed if you click this link: HK Army Flicker X HK Army

Streetball this weekend at Capital Edge Paintball!!! Be there or be square!!! X HK Army

So whenever we hit events, we end up compiling a ton of photo/video footage, but only select items make it to the blog. So we decided to finally set up a Flicker account for all the excess footage. You can scope it out at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hkarmy/ Nabi X HK Army

Suicide Silence has been blowing up recently and by far deserves the spotlight for HK Army’s sponsored band of the month. They killed it on Warped Tour and have been going non-stop since. Here’s a shot from a recent photo shoot with the guys. X HK Army

While in Florida last week, we hit up the famous Coral Castle. You might have already heard the rumors or seen the castle on a Sci-Fi show, but here’s the whole story:

Meet Ed. He is the creator of what could be the 8th wonder of the world: Coral Castle. He was only 5” tall and weighed under 100lbs. In 1920 Ed fell in love with a 16 yr old girl named Agnes. She broke his heart and left him at the alter. Poor guy went spiraling into depression and became delusional. He started to build one of the most curious structures known to man. Today Coral Castle is noted for the mystery surrounding its creation, considered to be built single-handedly by Ed using magnetism and supernatural abilities. In other words, Ed was a hybrid between an X-Man and a ninja. He suffered from paranoia and only worked in the middle of the night from 1-5am. Historians say it was impossible to catch Ed building because if anyone got close enough, he somehow knew and would stop working. There was only one witness sighting of Ed building and they claim that the rocks were floating in the air like Hydrogen balloons. If you wanted Ed to show you the castle, you had to ring the bell exactly two times. Any more or any less, he would tell you to beat it.

This is the magnetic generator he claims to have invented. Ed suffered from having a severe tuberculosis condition that doctors felt would lead to certain death. After understanding and using magnetic energy for a while, Ed started to feel better and when he went back to be tested, they found he was cured of all illnesses. The attention to detail was nice, but it’s the sheer fact that a 5 foot tall, 98 pound man was able to move 9 ton rocks that truly impressed me. One particular rock that was utilized as a revolving door weighed 9 tons! It completely functioned by being placed on this unknown material and 8 ball bearings from a ford truck. To this day scientists cannot replicate the revolving door. Before the museum was closing, we had to see what it was like to live in Ed’s fantasy world, so I hoped in his bath tub. Worst bath tub ever. It’s like bathing in a coral bath tub made for a midget… Brandon, Nicole and Cheebs hit the beds. Trust me… laying on a coral rock bed makes it easier to understand why Ed was bat-shit crazy.

Sadly, in December of 1951 little Ed hung a sign on his door that read “Going to Hospital.” He road his bicycle 25 miles to Miami hospital and died. The mystery’s of Coral Castle died with Ed and to this day, it is still not understood. Apparently Billy Idol wrote a song about the whole story. It’s called “Sweet Sixteen,” in memory of what Ed called Agnes. Creepy stuff. Check it out for yourself next time you’re in the area. X HK Army

Our long time friend and OG HK Army member, J.P. Augustin, came out with us on this Crash at the Coast event in Miami. He’s had a successful seven-year, Professional, Paintball career and is now an esteemed photographer in the Los Angeles area. We had the pleasure of having him on board and he hooked us up with some amazing footage of the trip. With J.P. and Cassidy’s video content of this trip, we know the next film Cassidy produces is going to be a hit!! HHH Squad!!! Mr. H greeting the crew! Bear and Mr. H with the boys! Austria aka Arnold throwing up an HHHHHHH!!! Nabi X HK Army

Every Crash at the Coast ends up with a trip theme song because it’s only natural that everyone tends to replay a good song at that moment in time. This event “Mr. Rager” by Kid Cudi was the song of choice for Miami!!! His whole new album, “Man on the Moon II: Legend of Mr. Rager,” is super dope and if you don’t have it, well then you’re a dunsky and need to pick it up!! In lieu of the new theme song we picked up a bottle of Rossi and thought about how we could do something agg for it. This is what we came up with: All it took was 5 of the boys, 4 iPhones, 1 lighter, slow shutter speed and a bunch of steady hands. This is Marky’s solo dolo H. Even though it’s pitch black, I swear you can still see his mustache. Good ‘ole chili whispers threw up an H with a heart. A crew of just the boys from the clinic and Mr. H Nabi X HK Army
