While we can’t really say we’ve been wondering what snowboardcross racer Lindsey Jacobellis has been up to this summer, Yobeat.com definitely let us in on a little of her singing summer. Apparently, this is a parody of song from the Disney movie Tangled. Wow.

It’s good to see pro skateboarders doing well as they get older, have kids, and roll forward. Ray Barbee seems to have things pretty much in tune if this Strange Notes @Home clip is any indication.

Effective immediately Ben will oversee Holden’s direction and strategic development as well as daily management of the organization. . . “We are all very happy to have Ben join us as a leader and a team member of Holden,” says company founder Mikey LeBlanc. “We’ve been successful at building beautiful and enduring products, but as we grow we need to improve on communicating the brand message and values.

Kassia Meador coming up for air while plunging Lindsay Lohan into another Roxy wave at Malibu. We’re kind of glad there is no audio on this photo because that “Oh, my gawd” look on Lindsay’s face would be painful to hear, we’re sure.

Seems like these Nixon WTA watches are getting better and better. For intance, this Teahupoo Magnacon SS watch that goes to the surfer who catches the heaviest wave during the Billabong Pro Teahupoo is worth a reported $10,000 and it features the following:
. . . a custom engraved caseback, a Swiss tide movement, 60 rubies around the bezel, four two-millimeter decorative black diamonds on the dial, and 24 black diamonds on the dial for hour indices.
There are probably people off the street who would paddle out at chopes for a watch like that. And what a great game show that would make. [click to continue…]

It’s nice to occasionally report good news from the action stock market and yesterday (August 15, 2011), after FBR Capital Markets & Co.’s Eric Tracy said that Quik was making strides with it’s balance sheet, the stock rocketed up three percent, according to a story on Bloomberg.
“Balance sheet improvements are a testament to a management team focused on enhancing its financial flexibility for longer-term growth, and as of the second quarter, forward orders from retail partners in the Americas and Europe, inclusive of price increases, are up year-over-year across brands,” Tracy wrote.
It’s down a little today, but maybe that can be seen as an opportunity. . .

. . . and then we learn that Tahoe Dangerzone mastermind Nick Visconti is on Southern California’s Mountain High Pro Team. Somehow Mountain High Dangerzone just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Guess if SoCal resident Shaun White is going to ride for Northstar at Tahoe, then Tahoe resident NIck Visconti might as well ride for Mountain High. Follow the jump for the rest of the details. [click to continue…]
