We’ve haven’t seen Adam Dyet skate for a while and this little outtake from Darkstar’s Forward Slash is a good reminder that things are all good with the man.

Sanjay Dastoor, of Boosted Boards, presented his “electric vehicle” to the super brains at a TED conference and they clapped their hands when he revealed a $1,200 electric skateboard. As we’ve always thought with motorized skateboards, is simply pushing all that difficult?

Rob Dyrdek really does have the whole promo thing down on lock. This week the Tribeca Film Festival will be screening a Street League Skateboarding promotional advertisement documentary by Adam Bhala Lough titled The Motivation. We do so love the age of advertorial, especially when it comes to documentary filmmaking. Oh, and as you might imagine The Motivation looks to be very good as well. That’s called synergy. The Motivation premieres Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 9:30 PM EST.
If surfing is more your thing, the festival also will be showing the “initially Quiksilver funded,” Bob McKnight co-executive produced, ESPN Films owned film Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau. It’s directed by Sam George and produced by Stacy Peralta, Paul Taublieb, Agi Orsi, and Dan Silver so it’s probably good, too.

After accidentally stumbling on to the ridiculous ABC Television “diving with the stars” reality contest show Splash and not getting it, we thought it even odder that Tony Hawk would make a five second guest appearance on the show ollieing off the show’s high dive to the cheers of a live crowd shouting: “Tony. Tony. Tony.”
Those who spent any time at Mr. Hawk’s Fallbrook facility will remember hours spent jump ramping into the pool on hot days, so this is really nothing new.
But we were left wondering: Is this the kind of compelling action sports content we can expect from TMZ Action Sports?

Hard to believe there wasn’t room for some of this footage in the final Perpetual Motion product. Did you see all that Walker Ryan goodness? If not, watch it again just to see how smooth he rolls.
