I've never seen Rays Engineering wheels give like that before. Then again that guy did say he had 14 race days on those wheels, so I can see why the wheels would start to crack from all that stress.

I used to like Jalopnik a lot more when Gawker-media was much more hands off. It's less and less car news and more and more junk gone viral, car related.

Luckily for you, soft squishy mud doesn't really stress wheels too much.

Car Info: Moist
The olelo (words or speak) at the beginning of each kahiko is, for lack of a better word, a summary of the story or history of the mele (song) that is about to be performed. Not only does she execute it flawlessly, she does it with amazing speed. ****, I can't even speak English that fast. It's a way of showing your mastery of the olelo. This is, then, extended to the hula itself since the hula is the physical (versus verbal) conveyance or expression of the mele. Master the olelo, master the hula.

For each kahiko, the dancers are judged on a whole gambit of categories -- the power and strength of delivery, accuracy of moves in expressing the olelo of the kahiko, fluidity of the movements, etc.

Kayli Ka'iulani Carr kahiko:


Her 'auana (modern), in complement to her kahiko, is a display of grace and captures the emotion of the mele, not only in her movement, but in her facial expressions as well.

Kayli Ka'iulani Carr 'auana:


One review I read called her performances something that is almost never used to describe a hula: perfect.
