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.”
Visitors to the Transworld Media website today were greeted by a list of stories featuring “Amateur Porn Teens,” and a long list of “Recent Articles” with links to the following (NSFW) page: http://rfdantos.transworld.net/.
The site appears to be offering up user generated content and hancock plot twist (probably a bot) looks to have taken advantage. Ouch. (Not safe for work screen shot after the jump). Apparently, anyone can sign up right here.
Shaun White’s “for Target” Collection drops on July 27, 2008. Shoppers will have 90 days to buy the clothes before they magically disappear. As might be expected from an action sports athlete who is being paid outrageous amounts of money Shaun is happy with his sponsor:
“Target is a great company that has been supporting me for almost six years. Having the opportunity to create an original line with them is a natural progression of our relationship and something that I was extremely stoked to do. The fact that I was able to work with my brother just made it even sweeter,” said Shaun.
Cole Ortega, 14, a competitive snowboarder from Bend, Oregon lost his arm (between the elbow and shoulder) while surfing in Pacific City, Oregon after he was run over by a dory (a 20-foot-long motorized boat) driven by Darrel Martin, 55, of Beaver, Oregon, according to a story on Oregon Live.
Other surfers grabbed the boy’s severed arm and helped him to shore on a surfboard. Doug Shugart, an Oregon State Police trooper checking fishing licenses, rushed into the water to help, said Tillamook County Sheriff Todd Anderson. Shugart grabbed his medical bag and started working on the boy, whose arm was severed between the elbow and shoulder.
Apparently, the boats come in and out off the beach and when the surf gets big, the “high waves often obscure visibility in the popular surfing area.
A Life Flight crew airlifted him to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland. His condition was not available Sunday night.
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.”
If you care about Canadian Olympic snowboarding (and who knows, maybe someone does) then check out Michel “I write advenrture stories for big kids” Beaudry’s column from Whistler’s Pique News Magazine on the Canadian Snowboard Federation’s new “high performance program” director Christian Hrab and the former wrestling coach that went before him.
Us, we couldn’t care less, truthfully. We just feel slight pangs of altruism every once in a while. Oh Canada!
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?
Okay, so what if the Burton and DC stores on Melrose have been a little as one person described them “crickets.” We know there was a ramp there for the opening party, then no ramp for the next party, and now, according to the website the LAist.com the roof, the roof, the roof is all ramped.
This isn’t a skate-park, and access to the ramp will be limited to who-ever the skate manager says can skate it. (Does he take bribes?) For the most part they intend on having Burton employees and Burton’s pro skateboarders doing their thing on it.
Maybe after we apologize for all the bad things we’ve said, they’ll let us up on the roof. We’ll get back to you on that.
The bodies of Michael George, 27, and Kyle Kerschen, 27, two missing Albuquerque, N.M. snowboarders who vanished at Colorado’s Wolf Creek Resort on January 5, 2008 were found after six months of searching Monday, June 23, 2008.
The two men were found approximately 500 yards apart in a natural bowl outside ski area boundaries. Kerschen was in a clearing where most of the winter snow had melted away and George was found uphill, leaning against a tree in a wooded area where there was still some snow on the ground. . . . Downing said both bodies were intact and in a condition to be expected after being covered with heavy snow that had begun melting.
The men apparently died of “hypothermia due to exposure.” Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the two men.
He was just a snowboarder from Summit County who used to ride with Steve Fisher, Chad Otterstrom, and Jeff Meyer.
