Bam Margera isn’t ready for an easy drift off into a bloated, tattooed, alcoholic post-fame afterlife just yet. At least, not before taking a turn as a game show host on TBS’snew six-episode Bam’s Bad Ass Game Show, according to a story in the Hollywood Reporter.
“Competitors will vie for $10,000 by facing off against each other in incredibly demented, potentially dangerous and occasionally painful challenges, like answering trivia questions while dangling above a pool of trash-filled water or dropping a watermelon on a target after being shot out of a cannon. The loser of each challenge is eliminated until there’s only one contestant left standing to take home the cash prize.”
Sounds like the perfect vehicle for Bam. If we still had cable we’d be looking forward to it.
We have to agree with the Salomon team: sometimes Depeche Mode just captures the moment. Especially when you’ve got Jed Anderson, Josh Dirksen, Louif Paradis, Wolle Nyvelt, Taka Nakai, Chris Grenier, Bode Merrill, and Annie Boulanger in the edit.
Having just frozen our fingers off in NYC this week, it was good to see Poler warming up the cast of NBC’s Today Show. Even if Al “Shartin'” Roker threw down this line regarding the product, “How stupid do you guys look?” In spite of that, mainstream media coverage is always good for sales. Camp vibes, indeed.
It is good to see the women on the progression tip. Here’s Elena Hight with a double backside rodeo from X Games pipe practice on January 23, 2012. Smoothly stomped.
After a short run at local Canada politics and some divorce troubles the world’s first snowboard Olympic gold medalist Ross Rebagliati has now announced plans to open a “franchise of medical marijuana shops” called Ross’s Gold, according to a story in the Calgary Herald.
. . . Rebagliati said the federal government’s decision to get out of the medical marijuana business is opening a tremendous business opportunity for Ross’s Gold, which also goes under the company name Rebagliati Gold Ltd. . . “As the federal government gets out of the medical marijuana business, taxpayers will no longer be subsidizing its sale. Under the current program, the marijuana costs about $5 per gram. Under the proposed changes, that price will rise to about $8.80 a gram,” the company said in its statement. . . And the sky is the limit should the Canadian government ever decriminalize pot, he said.
Yeah, Ross. Sales could go sky high and we’re guessing a shop in Whistler would do quite well with all those tourists who suffer from debilitating illnesses.
We should have known when we boarded our flight to NYC just behind two penguins (in pet carriers, seriously) that it was going to be a cold, cold week in New York City. As the Agenda Show NYC opened their doors at 9 AM on January 23, 2013 the temperature on the street outside 82 Mercer St. was hovering in the mid teens and the entire city seemed to be bundled up like Arctic explorers on business trips. Inside the brick walled Agenda space, however, more than 120 street, skate, and even snow brands heated things right up. The free coffee didn’t hurt either.
Each year the Agenda NYC show becomes a more important gathering for street brands and East Coast action and style retailers, and no one was going to let the Manhattan deep freeze keep them off their Agenda game. Click the link for a full photo gallery and you’ll see what we mean.

Big wave surfer Mike Parsons was surfing San Francisco’s Ocean Beach on Sunday, January 20, 2013, when he got in late on 10 – 12 foot wave and ended up going down hard, according to a story on Surfline.
“It was amazing out there, I was having the best time; everyone was getting waves,” Snips said. “I was having a blast. About four hours into the session, I was looking for one in, and a nice set was coming. I paddled for the third wave, thinking I’d get in a little early with a chip shot out the back.” . . Turned out to be not the case. “I thought I was into it, then suddenly realized I wasn’t. I took two more strokes and tried to stand up in what turned out to be the lip. I free fell, and remember my feet hitting my board for a second, then my head hit the water really hard.”
That hit reportedly cracked his C7 vertebrae. At first he thought he was paralyzed. Luckily, Parsons was wearing flotation and surfer Charlie Vaughn was close enough to hear his screams. According to the story Parsons will spend “six weeks in a neck brace, but he’s expected to make a full recovery. Click the link for the entire story.
This really has nothing to do with the topics we cover, aside from the fact that it’s Ken Block. His new Hoonigan Racing Division warehouse has been completely built out using discarded shipping containers, according to a story on Jalopnik, and it’s one of the best uses of those containers we’ve seen in a while.
“Having been involved with the leasing and building of office space for other companies like DC Shoes, I wanted to avoid the inflexibility of constructing a space made of lumber and sheetrock walls,” said Ken Block. “Using recycled shipping containers as the building blocks for the Hoonigan Racing Division headquarters is not only more environmentally friendly, but it gives us the flexibility to add more infrastructure and the ability to pack the entire facility onto trucks if we ever needed to relocate.
Place looks like a teenage boys dream fort, doesn’t it? Wonder if Ken’s up for some pong?
Andrew Santos shot his friends at Grouse Mountain and then Kaz Yamamura turned the sounds captured into some pretty nice beats. Check it and you’ll see what we mean.
