Believe, Achieve, Navigate, Grow.
That's the kaupapa. The foundation upon which WE BANG is built on. We may have gone quiet here, but it's all in the name of walking the talk in 2025. From left to right, this is what the team have been up to this year:
"JUGGERNAUT" Lorenzo Fauolo: WR 210kg Max Stone + 🥇 Natually Aspirated 2025, 🥈 Pacific Strongest 2025, 🥉South Auckland Strongest 2025 🔥 Most importantly, built they train at the Front Yard, and are a brotherhood built on sweat and strength (all natural).
Matua Hakopa Ripley: Matatini 2025 with Te Uri O Manumanu, Tutor for Dilworth College & Pakuranga College Kapa Haka, "Te Ika A Ranganui" Theater Show Performer 🔥 Most importantly started as a way to make Kapa Haka and Māori performing arts openly accessible to our Tāmaki whānau.
Isoa Kavakimotu: "Ride 'Otai" a Bilingual Tongan/English web series he co-wrote and co-directed was shot and premiered. Most importantly he hasn't had a hospital stay since August (he practically lived there April - August) 🥰🙏🏾
Thank you 2025, you've been one to remember! Bring on 2026, let's do it bigger and better 🔥 Stay GLORIOUS
