Concert Time

Just a reminder that Moneypenny is playing this Saturday at The Avalon Theater in Salt Lake city (www.theavalontheater.com) so come check out our boys play some music. Doors open at 6:30, but Moneypenny won't be going on until around 10. Tickets are $10 at the door. Make sure you tell them that you're there to see Moneypenny!

Absolutely Nuts

Travis Pastrana might actually be insane.

I'd hate to see the underarm burns he got from the webbing or whatever they wrapped around him. It's gotta be quite a yank when they pull that chute...

Sledding Is Dangerous

Sledding is an inherently dangerous sport.
Even more dangerous is reporting on sledding.

Reporter Meets Snow Tube

This guy should get a raise for finishing the report.

Bowie in Outerspace

A couple chaps from New Zealand sing a song about meeting David Bowie.

These guys make an HBO show called "Flight of the Conchords" that's pretty funny. Check it out.

Kingdom Gone Wild

Ogden got a little taste of some Kingdom flavor Saturday night. Kingdom sponsored a fashion show with models showing off some of the hottest swimsuit fashions for the coming summer. Some Kingdom product was given out to a few lucky winners... If you missed out, just check the website for more upcoming events and competitions and whatnot, and next time, be there!

Kingdom Rides Again!!!

To celebrate the impending spring members of the Kingdom crew got together and took a little ride. If you're into the dirtbike scene, hit us up and we'll go ride sometime.

Robo Hiking Dog

Okay, this really has nothing to do with Kingdom whatsoever, but I couldn't pass this one up.
This is one of the craziest inventions I have ever seen... It's almost creepy to watch the thing. It's called the "Big Dog", and it's kinda eerie how lifelike its movements are. Check out the video.

I'm not sure what practical applications this thing has, but it might give the PETA people something to satisfy that urge to go hunting, if you can look past that obnoxious buzzing...

Teamwork

The great thing about working with a teammate is that when one person wants to quit, the other one is there to make sure they keep going. This is about as good of an example of that I have ever seen...

I wonder if he won the race...

Running Man

So there's this band from Harrogate, England that makes dance/electronica music called Utah Saints. Since we're based here in Utah, I figured this video might be semi-relevant. Though I'm probably wrong. Either way, I just watched it two times in a row... I don't know what that says about me...

If anything, I think this sheds some light on why MC Hammer blew up, and them pretty much disappeared...

Tony Hawk is still shredding. This self-filmed short video proves it. How many of your friend's dads can skate like this?

New Things!

Hey everyone who loves Kingdom... We've got some exciting things coming up. We're working on some new designs (we might preview a few here), and we're actually looking to find some people who would be interested in working with the Kingdomcrown... If you would like to help us get Kingdom product into your local shops and boutiques then keep posted, we'll be back with more info soon...

Moneypenny In Concert

Kingdom endorses a little band that's on their way up called Moneypenny. If you haven't had the chance, go check out some of the tunes at Moneypenny's Myspace.


Moneypenny will also be playing a show on Saturday, March 29th at The Avalon Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they'll be reppin' the Kingdom Line.


For tickets to the show (just $10, cheap!) you can email me at danny@kingdomcrown.com.




For a copy of the EP "Out of Time" you can either email me at the same address, or just download it on iTunes. Either way, it's just $5.

Parking Garage, Beyond the Limit.

Watch as Mark faces the horrors of summiting the highest parking garage in town...

Awareness Test

This is awesome.  Totally legit. Make sure you go back and watch it a second time.

Show me your kingdom...

People are getting hyped on the Kingdom Crown...
Send us some pictures of you reppin' the stuff, and if we're impressed, we might hook you up with some more...
Send 'em to danny@kingdomcrown.com

Daytona Supercross

It was a mud fest at Daytona this last weekend. Congrats to Kingdom Rider Jake Marsack to pulling it out and getting a 3rd place finish and and trip to the podium, and being the first true privateer in a long time to do so.

Calling in Sick

So, calling in sick when you just want a day off is a pretty old trick, but it still seems to work, if you're not an idiot.

Pretty much people make the same mistakes that get them caught when they call in sick. 

-Don't make a fake sick voice - I mean really, c'mon. We know you're faking, no one really sounds like that.

-Call at the right time - Calling the night before is a bad idea, you're going to wait until you're sure you are still sick the next day. Calling right before you're supposed to arrive is a bad idea too. You know well in advance that you don't feel well. Calling right before is like saying, "Hey, I don't want to work today, and I just decided that, so I'm, uh, sick...."

-If you're really looking to sell the thing, try faking some symptoms the day before -  Don't be overt, but if you can get the idea into the bosses head that you're coming down with something, he/she will connect the dots the next day when you make the call.

-Don't have any evidence of any activities other than bed resting and move watching - going to the pool or beach is a bad idea when you call in sick. When you show up to work the next looking like that kid in the picture above, your cover is blown.

Tips for a Successful Power Nap

I thought I'd take a second to impart some of my wisdom that I have gained over the years of power napping.

The power nap is a very useful tool, but used improperly can lead to serious consequences, such as insomnia, tardiness, and a generally dishevelled look.

Here are some tricks to keep the power nap just that, and not falling asleep at 3pm and waking after dark.

-Sleep on the floor; The floor isn't very comfortable, and you typically can't sleep there more than 20-40 minutes. That's a perfect power nap.

-Sleep with your shoes on; This is particularly useful for that 8pm power nap, where, without caution, you'll wake up at 1am and be totally screwed. Leave the light on, leave your shoes on and put a blanket over your head, and you'll wake up in under an hour. Works every time.

I hope you find these tips useful. They have served me well. Now go enjoy that nap!
