Tony Hawk is reportedly suing the makers of the Tony Hawk Helmet Cam for $115,000 plus punitive damages according to a story on TMZ.com.
In the suit, Hawk alleges when he signed the deal in 2005, Prime Entertainment “had no intention” of actually paying the guy what they promised. Instead, Hawk states he only received $35k of the $150k he was owed.
Lawsuits are just the way businessmen negotiate, right?

It is still possible to make it to the Copenhagen Pro contest. The DVS sponsored event runs June 26-28, 2010. Seriously, is there a better reason to visit Denmark? If not, then just watch the webcasts streaming live at 6:45 AM PST on Saturday and 5:45 AM PST Sunday on DVSShoes.com.

While iPhone fans are packing every Apple store in the world, Rob Dyrdek, P-Rod, and Chris Cole are apparently helping the opposing team. All three are scheduled for a skate demo today (June 24, 2010) at San Diego’s Fashion Valley to launch the opening of Microsoft’s fourth copy of the Apple’s store.
Dyrdek has apparently been on a Microsoft store-opening tour as of late. He was in Denver June 10 10 where he appeared with “Disney actress Demi Lovato.” Can’t say he’s not doing all he can for the Street League.

If you’re trying to get any business done today it might not be a bad idea to head down to the local Apple Store. We’re guessing most of the industry (including Nixon Art Director Michael Carter and Nixon co-founder Chad DiNenna (above), and Bond Snowboarding’s Dan McNamara) is spending the morning on line for a new iPhone 4.
Imagine being the only one in a meeting this afternoon and not being able to throw down your new iPhone like a gauntlet. Oh, that would hurt.

Just when we were wondering what ever happened to the ASP World Tour we get news that the North American division has hired former Globe International Surf Marketing Manager Brian Robbins as their new tour manager.
“I couldn’t be happier about being hired for the Tour Manager position,” Robbins said. “I’ve always been passionate about competitive surfing, and to be working for ASP North America now is unreal. I’m looking forward to the events we have on the schedule this summer and getting down in the trenches at my first event.”
While everyone else is in J-Bay Robbins will be onsite for his first event the ASP 4-Star Quiksilver Pro Pro Puerto Escondido.

Freddy P. tweeted something the other day that reminded us that while we may have completely forgotten about it for the past for weeks, there is an ASP World Tour going on.
Time off is good, but this much time off is dangerous. Haven’t surfed a heat in ages. Fighters get ring rust. What do surfers get? Freddy said on Monday.
But how long has it been? The last contest (The Santa Catarina Pro) ended on April 29, 2010. The Billabong Pro at J-Bay doesn’t begin until July 15, 2010. That’s 77 days. The ASP really needs to learn something about momentum. We don’t even remember who won the first few contests or who is in the lead. . . It’s Kelly, right?

These surf girls clean up pretty well. Amazing what a little paint can do. Though we have to say we prefer them Survivor style.

If it doesn’t work so well as a video game controller, maybe Tony Hawk’s Ride will work as a skateboard. . .

Seems lately that all of us are getting forced into being a little more professional about our data (gross understatement). Seattle-based photographer Chase Jarvis breaks down his digital workflow from beginning to end.
It’s basically a free seminar on keeping your data safe. And we all could do more of that. . .

Nixon has had an office in Hossegor, France for 10 years, but now they’ve moved around the corner and into what looks like a big black box.
The new office is completely custom to Nixon and drafts off the spirit and vibe of the Nixon Global Headquarters located in Encinitas, California. The opening of the Nixon office was recently initiated with a gathering of the brands founders, team, reps, employees, retailers, friends and family where toasts were made with plenty of high fives and cheers. Nixon is excited and focused to hit new levels of creativity and productivity with this larger and more creative space, while providing a better home and environment for our employees and customer’s needs.
At the opening party team riders Iker Fernandez, Alain Goikoetxea, Fredo Robin and Javier Sarmiento repotedly got new watches. Follow the jump for the official word. [click to continue…]
