Mellow Block

01/06/2026

Initially I went to to store my luggage and pet some kittens. I didn't expect to stumble on this gem of a pouch.

The past year I have been looking for sustainable packaging that lives on as a useful object, and this one supports cat rescue too! It felt surreal.

Made from recycled denim in Hong Kong by . I think these will be the new standard packaging for Kolokol and Mellow Stones.

The plan is to create something for chetki as well with Indigo Paper.

Reasons tension is important:

1. That sweet sweet springy feel
2. Just the right amount of clack
3. Small inputs for big flips
4. Ease of control

Classic flipping works well with a tight set, while rolling is easier with a bit less tension.

Do you find it easier to flow in nature?

This is my personal reminder to hit a solo forest flow more often. Just sat and looked around for a while after. It was easy to be still in that moment.

Hurdles to overcome before the next drop:

1. Riding too slow
2. De minimus unknowns
3. New surface finish

Ideally the dust will settle quickly and next drop will be on schedule for Sept 15th.

Planning a few different color ways with the OG blue and purple in solid and drippy options. 💙💜

Have a great week friends, don't forget to make time for adventuring 🫡🍻
