It’s official. Kelly Slater has topped Hulk Hogan, Buzz Aldrin, and model Kate Upton as the favorite celebrity of Brevard County Florida according to the readers of Florida Today.
A one-time underwear model for Versace, Slater has graced the cover of many magazines and was once named one of the “100 Most Beautiful People in the World” by People magazine. He’s also appeared in several commercials and TV shows including “Baywatch.”
Congrats, Kelly. Your home town still loves you more than they love that Gawker killer Hulk Hogan. . . RIP.
So, Tony Hawk’s 900 garage sale auction hosted at Julien’s Actions closed on September 23, 2025, and wow, did it bring in a ton of cash. The unofficial total (we added it up with Gemini’s help) was $1,759,290.00 for 99 items. Tony says “a portion” of the proceeds from this sale will go to The Skatepark Project so win-win all around.
Some highlights from the sale:
The 900 Board: $1,152,000
The 900 Helmet: $115,200
The 900 Adio Shoes (worn out): $64,000
The Sweaty 900 Kneepads: $57,600
Del Mar Skatepark Staff Shirt (our favorite item): $896
Signed Frosted Flakes Cereal Box: $512
Nixon Skateboard Watch: $5,120
Tony’s Richmond Skate Ranch ID Card: $2,880
So, the big question: who paid $1.15 million for a skateboard? Any guesses?
It also has come to our attention that when it comes to selling off old junk celebrity pays!. Mr. Hawk is a little ahead of us on our lifetime action sporting eBay sales, but we still have time. We have yet to tap into our complete Big Brother Magazine collection, nor our original set of Skateboarder Magazine from Volume 2 through Action Now. Maybe we should check with Julien first. . .
Sabrina Carpenter goes towing behind a truck and somehow survives. You probably won’t, so please don’t try it. Shame on you Sabrina for setting such a terrible example for today’s rolling youth. You should know better. Of all the things. . .
Seems we’re not the only ones spending our golden years auctioning off the detritus from our action sporting youth. Tony Hawk has joined with Julien Actions to sell the board he rode at the 1999 San Francisco X Games. You know, the one where he did the 900 for the first time in competition? The comp we left early because we knew he’d never make it. Here’s how the stuff is described:
This first-to-market “The 900 Collection” features the original 1999 X Games “900” Skateboard. This is more than just a deck; it’s the very board, the Birdhouse “Falcon 2” outfitted with Fury brand trucks and unmarked wheels, that Tony Hawk rode into legend during his historic performance at the 1999 X Games in San Francisco.
But that’s not all. The collection also includes the sweaty helmet Tony wore. His stinky knee pads. The blown out Adio shoes, and his X Games athlete laminates. The board is expected to go for between $500,000 and $700,000 making it the most expensive skateboard ever. Reportedly “a portion” of the proceeds from the auction will go to The Skatepark Project. If you’d like to get in on the bidding, please click the link to register.
The live auction goes down September 23, 2025 at 10 AM Pacific Time.
Because, you know. Of course we all need the THPS 3+4 reboot. Plus, you can play it on a PS4. Still. Plus, Rayssa Leal, Chloe Covell, Jamie Foy, Zion Wright and Yuto Horigome. . . but reportedly no Bam Margera. Huh? Still haven’t played the 1+2 reboot all that much. Oh well. Guess we’ll be able to wait until the alleged release in July 2025.
It was Pat “The Eye” Bridges who introduced the North American snowboard world to “The Dingo,” so no one could say it better. We’ll all miss you, Dingo.
You know, ’cause we all could use a little more chaos and violence (and Nicolas Cage) in our lives. . . and yeah, getting some Peter WeirThe Cars That Ate Paris Ozploitation vibes for sure.
