He was just a snowboarder from Summit County who used to ride with Steve Fisher, Chad Otterstrom, and Jeff Meyer.
Now, he’s a reality TV star with a new fiance, but Jesse Csincsak is just being himself, according to a story in the Summit Daily News.
“I didn’t have a natural talent for snowboarding,” he said. . . To make up for it, he said he was “the first guy up on the hill and the last one down.” . . He made his TV debut as a coach on the MTV “Made,” show in February, and soon after got the call from “The Bachelorette.”
Anyone who has tried doing anything 38 days in a row knows that it takes crazy kinds of will power. That’s why it still amazes us that Tony Hawk can get out there and do a 24-city, 18-state Boom Boom Huckjam Tour in 38 days. But starting July 18 in San Antonio, Texas he’s going to do it again.
Huck Jam — which includes skateboarding, BMX bike jumping, freestyle motocross stunts and lots of loud rock and rap music — is now an independent show that uses outdoor venues. . . . “It was a huge thing, hauling all that equipment to arenas,” Hawk says. “The outdoor shows are more manageable.”
If you ever read us inferring that T. Hawk doesn’t earn his money, smack us. The man is obviously indefatigable. Be sure to watch the video at USA Today.
Tony Hawk fans can literally drink him up when Jones Soda Co. releases their Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom Huckjam Limited Edition four-pack of soda featuring photos of T. Hawk himself.

The bottles feature four different images, one of which will highlight the Tony Hawk Foundation supporting recreational programs for youth, such as the development of public skateboard parks in low-income communities. . . .The limited edition Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom HuckJam four-pack will only be available through the summer.
The correlation between surfing and healing surfaced two years ago when patients with cystic fibrosis in Sydney, Australia reported feeling better after hitting the waves, stating that their chests felt relieved as the ocean water cleared the mucus from their and sinuses and lungs. The finding made complete sense, as the top daily treatment for the disease, Hypertonic Saline Solution, mimics a “surf session” for the lungs.
“Our duties as co-chairmen are to help push the snowball over the hill,” Kalama explained. “We want to help raise as much awareness and get as many people on board as possible by lending our name to the cause. Surfing has been so great to us and now it is our chance to give back.”
On June 28, 2008 snowboarders Danny Kass and Nate Holland visited Afghanistan to rally the troops for the war on terror, according to a story on First Tracks Online. You’d have to think that Grenade gear would be pretty popular about the barracks.
The hospital brought me to the reality that this war is really happening,” said Kass, who got the opportunity to visit with the medical staff as well as a few patients, and used his unique style, fashionable sunglasses and witty personality to lift their spirits.
Looks like the service members were glad to see them all. Nice that Danny and Nate cared enough to make the trip. It also appears that two budding action sports photographers got a nice shot of Kass ass.
Cute little bouncy blonde, and American’s best hope for gold in women’s gymnastics this summer, 16-year-old Shawn Johnson has one other dream before heading off to Beijing: she’d like to meet Shaun White.
“I remember watching him in the Winter Olympics and he seemed like a really cool guy, everything he’s been a part of and done, he just seems like a really nice guy that enjoys what he does.”
According to The Age, “former tennis star Mark Philippoussis was lucky to escape with his life after he paddled into wild seas off Victoria’s surf coast today.”
Philippoussis was dragged into an area known as the Valley and pummelled by waves until his board snapped. . . He managed to reach a cave, where he spent about two hours, apparently to wait until the tide dropped, while onlookers alerted his girlfriend who was in a nearby carpark.
Locals apparently warned the Australian champ that he probably shouldn’t paddle out at Winkipop Beach, but he went anyway.
Not much we can say other than that Andy Blumberg sure is on the blogging program. He’s kicking our collectable asses. We hate getting scooped on precious Shaun White footage like this from Nylon Magazine.
Which reminds us: Marvin Jarrett has come a long way since Raygun, Stick, and Bikini, huh?
He was just a snowboarder from Summit County who used to ride with Steve Fisher, Chad Otterstrom, and Jeff Meyer.
