To keep his promo image rolling Rob Dyrdek will apparently attempt to recreate the barrel roll car stunt from the James Bond classic Man With The Golden Gun in Los Angeles on December 17, 2011. Rob is calling it the “Kickflip car.” All this for a little chance from Chevy. Follow the jump for the original “kick flip” clip from 1974. [click to continue…]

Josh Irving was filming for the Altered Skates video and had a little mishap. Luckily, he was with friends. Here’s what Irving says:
And a big thanks to all my boys for saving my life! And Prestons quick thinking and he grabbed my head and stopped it from slamming on the ground. If he didn’t do that i would be dead or a vegetable!!
Glad he didn’t end up worse off. Close one indeed.

We’re always a little frightened when a movie is pitched as a “christian skateboarding film,” but aside from some cringe inducing dialog, Hardflip from Risen Media (producers of the Bethany Hamilton biopic Soul Surfer) looks like it might have some good skateboarding in it. It’s the story of a kid who always wanted to be a pro skater, but he runs into a little trouble along the way.
Caleb’s only real friend, a “crazy”, homeless, street preacher named Ralph, speaks nuggets of Truth through God’s Word, guiding Caleb along his journey. . . Through the tragedy of his mother’s illness and the sudden appearance of the father he never knew, Caleb becomes the man his mother always prayed he’d be.
The film features Christian Hosoi, Rosanna Arquette, and some other familiar faces. PTL.
