Szafranski & Williams Get Buzzed

by The Editors on June 22, 2012

This Weekend Buzz features Braydon Szafranzki and Neen Williams. Neen got so messy that the Ride Channel had to place a alcohol warning at the beginning of the episode and lightened the whole set up so we can all see the room (or have we not been paying attention?). Nice upgrades. Check it.

Birdhouse At Woodward Tahoe Opening

by The Editors on June 20, 2012

A little over a week ago we rolled to Boreal Mountain Resort to check out the grand opening of Woodward’s new Tahoe facility. What we missed was the Birdhouse Team ripping up the place. Luckily, the Ride Channel has a Tony’s Crew episode that includes everything we didn’t see while we were up in the VIP getting free lunch including Riley Hawk, Slash, Curren Caples and Mike Vallely. Oddly, they left out all the footage from the private jet.

Thrasher Magazine says that Walker Ryan is “the best thing to come outta Napa Valley since Pinot Noir, Walker Ryan is an absolute stud on the stuntwood. Steady stompin’ nollie flips like grapes in a barrel…” Apparently, they are aware of the whole Napa Valley “wine thing.” And we thought they were all beer guys.

North Carolina Skateboarder Dies Towing

by The Editors on June 19, 2012

King JonahJonah King, a 16-year-old longboarder from Rowan County, North Carolina died from head injuries sustained after skateboard towing, according to a story on WSOTV.com.

King was riding his longboard, which is a bigger version of a skateboard, on Timberlane Trail in Salisbury when he fell and hit his head. . . Police said he was being pulled behind a car when he fell. Investigators said King was doing what is known as “towing” or “skidding,” which is when a skateboarder grabs the side of a vehicle and is towed up hills.

King was not wearing a helmet and had, earlier in the evening, been caught on tape illegally buying beer at a mini market. Authorities are awaiting toxicology results. Our thoughts are with King’s family and friends.

Dyrdek & Drama: The Flying Burrito Cousins

by The Editors on June 19, 2012

0615-Loud-Mouth-Burrito-Rob-Dyrdek-1Along with his cousin Chris “Drama” Pfaff, Rob Dyrdek has reportedly launch a frozen burrito company called Loud Mouth Burritos, according to a story on TMZ.

The “Fantasy Factory” duo is hawking two options for now: Cheeseburger — stuffed with hamburger meat, cheese, ketchup and mustard … and Pepperoni Pizza — with mozzarella, pepperoni and tomato sauce. . . The frozen goods are currently being sold at several 24-hour Kum and Go and Maverik convenience stores — perfect for those late night munchies — and they’re hoping to expand to 10,000 locals by the end of summer.

The burritos, which pack 420 calories, sound like a perfect pairing with some Monster Energy Drink.
