Yeah, this is the guy we all want to hang out with right? Lil Jon. Okay, we don’t, but we are obviously in the minority (once again). Greg Lutzka, Ryan Shecler, Danny Kass, The Dingo, and Travis Mellem are all down with BME Click, according to Hip Hop Elements. We’ll let Mr. Kass explain it:
“When Lil Jon wanted to get into action sports he wanted to pull the illest crew together, and it is an honor to be picked by that man.” Sheckler also adds, “Action sports is taking over, and BME is a part of it. Keep your eyes open and get ready!”
The illest indeed.

Apparently, Tony Hawk was playing a celebrity soccer match at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California when Paul Caliguri (some kind of US soccer hero, if that’s even possible) talked some smack about the birdman’s soccer abilities.
“I was pretty stoked to play with Tony Hawk,” Caliguri said. “I was trying to feed him the ball so he could score, but maybe he needed a skateboard to do that.”
Nice, Paul.

With the cornball headline “Feats on Snowboard Keep Skateboard Star Warm” the Washington Post does it’s duty to cover the X Games.
“There’s always something to look forward to,” said White, who will compete in X Games 12 today in the snowboarder X, snowboard slopestyle and snowboard big air, along with the snowboard superpipe tomorrow.
“Those summer months are reeeal good,” he continued. “But then you hear about all your friends being up in the mountain, it’s a nice change. But definitely by the end of the winter, I’m over it and want to get on that skateboard and be in the sun.”
Asked which sport he enjoyed more, White leaned more toward skateboarding. But he would focus only on skateboarding if it becomes an Olympic sport. If that happened, White said he would take a year off to focus on it entirely.

He has a new album coming out on February 5, 2008 so that means Jack Johnson is on the media tour, including an interview with Newsweek where he said the following regarding his EniroRider:
The rider covers not just what’s in your dressing room, which is what most people know about the rider. It has more to do with stage specifications. It could cover anything from low-energy lighting to requesting biodiesel in any generators that have to be used. I think this time around we’re going to try to see what can be requirements for the venues. There are certain venues that contacted us after the last tour and said they’d made a lot of changes. It’s nice to hear that the tour does have an effect on people and trying to better their venues.
Green it up, little darling, green it up. . .

Apparently all those rumors about Shaun White leaving Volcom just might be true if this press release on Transworldsnowboarding.com is correct:
Target today announces the future Shaun White for Target collection. The line will feature clothing for young men and boys and will be available in late July. . . This collection will build on a significant relationship between Target and Shaun, as he has been riding for Target for nearly six years. A professional skateboarder and snowboarder, Shaun is considered by many to be the most recognizable athlete in action sports.
Hell, why not.

We’ve never heard of her before, but apparently Sophia Bush, star of a show called One Tree Hill fell down and went boom during a snowboard trip to Whistler earlier in the month. Though she was warned by her instructor not to let her stuntman friends take her down anything too serious, she didn’t listen.
“I went up to Whistler with a couple of guys from work – one of our stunt guys, Paul Johannson, and James Lafferty. And (reality TV star) Stephen Colletti was supposed to come with us, but he’d really hurt his shoulder the week before. So he’s going, ‘Be careful, it’s really icy because it’s so cold. Don’t fall.’ “I’m like, ‘I’m not going to hurt myself!’ Cut to me laying in this pile on the mountain and I landed just on my knee.
Hopefully, someone was there to kiss it and make it better.
