MYY UNCLLEE!!!!

                                       Hey Sorry I havent posted lately
                                   CHEY ATARIA        
Problery the best(sorry let me refrase that)THE BEST PERSON EVER!!!My uncle is a professional skater and is the proud owner of ABC!!! How cool is that????Heres some stuff about my uncle .....LOVE YOU LOADS UNCLE CHEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Born and raised in Haumoana, a sleepy little beach village in the Bay of the Hawke, Chey is to New Zealand Skateboarding what Michael Jordan is to NBA Basketball. The big brand Nike helped make Jordan but Chey made ABC from nothing, nada. and he has given back so much to the sport that has gained him a reputation as one of the most respected and liked skateboarders in Aotearoa. Throughout the late 80’s and 90’s Chey won 5 NZ street skating titles, taking his first title at the age of 17.
I grew up in Hastings and was in to skating hard. At this time i used to see Chey and peeps like P diggs on my street ventures and when you are in the presence of greatness you simply stop, put down your board and think, damn! I’m just going to chill and take it all in, watch and try to learn something. I remember being at one skate comp in Havelock North in the late 80’s and it was maybe Chey’s first comp and guess what, he ripped it up and left the other competitors in his wake. You would think the prestige would go to his head but Chey remains one of the most humble people you could ever know and if you do know him you know what i’m talking about. You never hear anyone talk bad about the brother and that is testimony to the nature of Chey.
ABC is now part of the Huffer family and produces street apparel basics for the everyday. Punching out hits like Gladys Knight and the Pips, Chey has produced some of the most iconic and fashionable tees to date. Hits like “Money Shoes and Clothes” and “Cray Bay” have been number one releases which proves that Chey knows what is takes to produce bangers. Never content, Chey continues to push ABC into unchartered territory. FYI, Legend has it that Lupe Fiasco and Chingy are ABC customers and fans.
       
So thats a bit about my awesome cool uncle and I'm hoping he will hook me up so I can wear a ABC jacket and represent !!! hahahaha LUV YA UNCLE  CHEY !!!!!!SAY HI TO CARLY AND THE GURLS !!!!!!!!!PEACE OWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 . Love it or hate it, Shortland Street is the longest running home-grown soap opera in New Zealand’s television history.

h 18. The first Shortland Street wedding ever, between Gina and Leonard was released on video 19. Did you know that Shortland Street has spooky karma! Often when something happens on Shortland Street (filmed in advance) it happens at that same time. For example when the nurses had a strike on Shortland Street there was a nurses’ strike happening here, and when there was an earthquake on screen there was an earthquake in Auckland as well!          
That was a little about Shortland Street did you like it ???????
