We realize that an early morning drive-through strip club may be foreign to most, however, it’s where the Skate Park of Tampa crew do some of their best philanthropic work—you know, for the kids.

. . . and it looks like it took Dave Lee and the crew a little more work than simply snapping a few colored blocks together.

US Marines reportedly name their guns and treat them as they would a girlfriend. It appears Torstein Horgmo has a similar attraction to his snowboard. . . or something like that. Oscar talk is making the rounds.

We can’t really figure this surf film out. Isolated features what appears to be amazing camera work and a cast that includes: Josh Fuller, Travis Potter, Jenny Useldinger, Andrew Mooney, and Jimmy Rotherham.
Isolated is obviously well-funded. It’s being produced by Ryan Phillippe. But all the fancy graphics, spear-holding natives, and over-the-top voice over aimed obviously at a mainstream audience makes the trailer a little tough to watch. Not to say that Papua New Guinea isn’t a frightening place.
“Enter a forbidden land on the most secluded corner of the globe. Where five world class surfers journey into a world left behind. They search to ride untouched waves and bring surfing to the edge of civilization. But what they find will change them forever.”
Is there really “no turning back?” Did they all die? Guess we won’t know until we see the film.

Josh Dirksen’s Dirksen Derby hand-shaped banked slalom at Mt. Bachelor presented by Bonfire this this weekend (December 11-12, 2010) helped to raise money for snowboarder Tyler Eklund who was paralyzed during the USASA Nationals in February 2009. Looks like a lot of fun even if the weather was less the perfect. Click here for a photo gallery.

Kevin Pearce was interviewed by Fox Boston at the opening of his father Simon Pearce’s Newbury Street store grand opening on Thursday, December 2, 2010. It’s good to see Kevin doing so well at getting his head around his injury and his recovery.

We haven’t made it all the way through Todcast The Movie part one which is now up on VBS.TV, and we’ve never seen the movie. We like Todd. But if this one sucks, it will be the last one you’ll have to see taking up room on our site.
[Editors’ Note: We just added part two after the jump. Seems part one passed (in spite of TR’s rude comments).]

After seeing his qualifying runs it is doubtful that anyone was surprised by the final results at the 2010 Tampa Am as Elijah Berle rolled through this run. Ishod Wair finished second, Jon Cosentino finished third, and Kevin Romar was fourth. For the entire final results, click the link or follow the jump for Ishod’s run.

Last night (December 4, 2010) on the top floor of downtown Los Angeles’ iconic Cooper Building the International Association of Skateboard Companies brought the skateboard industry together to honor six skateboarders and two industry titans in their second annual Skateboarding Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Those honored included: Torger Johnson, Stacy Peralta, Steve Caballero, Eric Koston, Bob Burnquist, Patti McGee, CR Stecyk, and Larry Stevenson.
For everyone who has grown up in skateboarding this night was packed with emotion. It would be easy for those who were not in the room to be cynical about a group of old skateboarders getting all dewey eyed over each other, but as we looked around and saw a room filled with skate heros, living legends, and those most responsible for making skateboarding what it is today we were dumb-founded.
For the rest of the speeches follow the jump (or click here for a photo gallery). If you only have time for one, we suggest Steve Caballero’s. Rarely has the professional skateboarding life been so eloquently explained. [click to continue…]
