Billy&lt;br /&gt;Brown and their other partner James J. Cassity who at very cool age of&lt;br /&gt;84 years young was obviously still with the vision that had enriched&lt;br /&gt;his life all along. These two capitalists Billy Brown never looked at&lt;br /&gt;James extra curricular activity as non sense but instead encouraged&lt;br /&gt;their younger counterpart to continue developing this unique vehicle&lt;br /&gt;at every turn.&lt;br /&gt;As the board took varying shape and designs it miraculously continued&lt;br /&gt;to developed each step of the way, becoming more and more of the&lt;br /&gt;incredible racing machine that it is today. Hawkins who attributes&lt;br /&gt;this product as a creation that was devinely inspired and whos hands&lt;br /&gt;and motivations&lt;br /&gt;were not his but is convinced was merely assisting the work of a&lt;br /&gt;higher power. A being who has creative abilities had already been proven&lt;br /&gt;and realized. The hand of God as Hawkins refers to then brought in&lt;br /&gt;master fabricator and metal designer Ron " THE MAN" BURNS and Ronny&lt;br /&gt;just being himself quickly grasped a hold of the task at hand and&lt;br /&gt;delivered the Skateship to the next level. His contributions were&lt;br /&gt;selfless and pure and his skills and knowledge were unrivaled in the&lt;br /&gt;art of design and metal fabrication. It was not long after that he&lt;br /&gt;became a partner in the company as well as Cassity and Hawkins would&lt;br /&gt;not have it any other way. Then lightning struck again when&lt;br /&gt;skateboarding’s Master champion and master designer Carlos Novo swept&lt;br /&gt;into the picture initially as just a rider but immediately started&lt;br /&gt;turning heads as his wealth of information and mechanical abilities&lt;br /&gt;became apparent that this was no ordinary man . Carlos Novo at 49&lt;br /&gt;years of age is the oldest of the riders to suit up and compete in the&lt;br /&gt;races today. The only unfortunate thing about Carlos racing says the&lt;br /&gt;other riders is that he is almost impossible to beat. This the only&lt;br /&gt;bad thing ever mentioned about Carlos in the same breath. This middle&lt;br /&gt;aged teenager is a Husband to his wife an unbelievable father to his&lt;br /&gt;children and now instrumental to the company to such a degree that the&lt;br /&gt;two cinematographers again had no choice but Carlos was needed as a&lt;br /&gt;stock holding Partner as well that his knowledge leadership and&lt;br /&gt;incredible gifts of talent are always the needs corporately speaking&lt;br /&gt;necessary ingredients to have a successful business. As the 55 year old&lt;br /&gt;Executive Producer has stated many times. The hand of God was&lt;br /&gt;involved in this one directly and continuesly. Of course their were&lt;br /&gt;others who were integral to taking on the challenges that never seemed&lt;br /&gt;to stop popping up with almost daily occurrences.&lt;br /&gt;James Cassity was not only Hawkins business partner but the three&lt;br /&gt;Billy Brown, James J. Cassity and James Hawkins who together became&lt;br /&gt;an effective team also became friends and Hawkins makes it very clear&lt;br /&gt;that James J. Cassity was his best friend and the best friend anybody&lt;br /&gt;could ever have.&lt;br /&gt;The two were inseperable up untill Mr. Cassity’s recent passing. He&lt;br /&gt;passed away just 6 months ago and although shaken by the loss.&lt;br /&gt;Hawkins soon realized that the senior Cassity already had made his&lt;br /&gt;mark on the younger producer and had already set into motion a&lt;br /&gt;partnership that would include his son Gregg assuredly filling the&lt;br /&gt;void that his death might create for Hawkins. Gregg Cassity whom has&lt;br /&gt;filled his fathers position becoming the Vice President of all the&lt;br /&gt;corporations that his father and Billy Brown had founded. Seemingly&lt;br /&gt;has also filled his fathers shoes. And filled them to their entirity&lt;br /&gt;and then some.&lt;br /&gt;With the the financial backing of their third partner Billy Brown who&lt;br /&gt;resides on the east coast in the sunny state of Florida. Gregg and&lt;br /&gt;James quickly did what they knew the fatherly figure would want them&lt;br /&gt;to do and that is. To first always be a human being and second get&lt;br /&gt;busy living your own lives, blaze new trails, that would become the new&lt;br /&gt;super highways of tomorrow and foremost living their own lives and&lt;br /&gt;building their own dreams with destiny in their hands with God at&lt;br /&gt;their side and on their side. Cassity who admits to have shared&lt;br /&gt;reservations about how it would work out and if it would work out.&lt;br /&gt;They were not surprised when their seemingly very different&lt;br /&gt;backgrounds and personalities came together more and more. Proving to&lt;br /&gt;each other that in this case Father must have known best. Hawkins who&lt;br /&gt;admits that his new partnership with Gregg Cassity was a parting&lt;br /&gt;gift from his friend and mentor. And that deep down inside always had&lt;br /&gt;faith that some how ,some way his good friend would still be with him&lt;br /&gt;guiding him and supplementing strategically as he always had.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1617373828419260959-5397970440036211848?l=x-caliburskateship.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://x-caliburskateship.blogspot.com/feeds/5397970440036211848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://x-caliburskateship.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-it-came-about.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1617373828419260959/posts/default/5397970440036211848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1617373828419260959/posts/default/5397970440036211848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://x-caliburskateship.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-it-came-about.html' title='How it came about'/><author><name>Jimmy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12377732113712932201</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617373828419260959.post-1237890196828639416</id><published>2010-01-11T17:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-11T17:32:14.066-08:00</updated><title type='text'>INTRODUCING THE X-CALIBUR SKATESHIP</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yr_VvVU9Xgc/S0vKi0QT9mI/AAAAAAAAAFM/WRcfbc7E148/s1600-h/thinkweserious.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yr_VvVU9Xgc/S0vKi0QT9mI/AAAAAAAAAFM/WRcfbc7E148/s400/thinkweserious.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425652875589318242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;They said it couldn't be done&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They said powered skateboard racing could never be an officially sanctioned sport&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They said there was no way skateboarders would ever race on a Velodrome track&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They said there was no conceivable way a rider could maintain control of a powered skateboard at speeds of 40 MPH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well "They" don't know Jimmy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James "Jimmy" Hawkins was a regular man with a regular dream, an American dream: To create the first self-powered skateboard capable of full-speed track racing, and to found the world's first Nationally ranked association of powered skateboard racing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, that dream becomes reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch the X-Calibur Skateship in action and meet the team behind &lt;a href="http://napsr.blogspot.com/"&gt;NAPSR&lt;/a&gt; at the &lt;a href="http://www.encinovelodrome.org/"&gt;Encino Velodrome &lt;/a&gt;this Saturday, Janurary 16th&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Witness the birth of the next-generation of extreme sports.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1617373828419260959-1237890196828639416?l=x-caliburskateship.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://x-caliburskateship.blogspot.com/feeds/1237890196828639416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://x-caliburskateship.blogspot.com/2010/01/introducing-x-calibur-skateship.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1617373828419260959/posts/default/1237890196828639416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1617373828419260959/posts/default/1237890196828639416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://x-caliburskateship.blogspot.com/2010/01/introducing-x-calibur-skateship.html' title='INTRODUCING THE X-CALIBUR SKATESHIP'/><author><name>Jimmy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12377732113712932201</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yr_VvVU9Xgc/S0vKi0QT9mI/AAAAAAAAAFM/WRcfbc7E148/s72-c/thinkweserious.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
