The Hydrilla’s Cullen Poythress interviews Henry Rollins on the topics of skateboarding, punk rock, the Internet, and kids today. For those old enough to have seen Black Flag play in the summer of 1982, or those young enough to wonder, this is a great interview. Read it and smile.
The youth have been satiated. They have ipads, ipods, iphones, and everything is a point and a click away. The format that used to raise the parents’ ire, it being music or whatever, it’s all kind of okay now. The Internet gives you a great deal of access and a great deal of privacy. You can view your online porn and you can make your own porn with your girlfriend and post it to the delight of all your class mates. There’s not a lot of people saying, “No”, at this point.
Can’t really argue with anything but the privacy thing. Click the link and read the rest.

More snowboard tomfoolery from the Signal Snowboards factory. It’s like these guys can make whatever they want. In this case they’re making a pair of Vans slip-on snowboards.

Sure, recently released scientific reports suggest that “energy drinks” actually harm kids, but at least caffeine, taurine, and sugar water sales companies like Red Bull spend their marketing dollars helping athletes (who don’t mind polluting a few kids) get loads of stunningly cool work done.
Take this Travis Rice The Art of Flight movie teaser from Brain Farm Digital Cinema for instance. You’ve never seen anything like this before.

At the Maloof High Ollie Challenge yesterday (February 15, 2011) in Las Vegas at some fashion trade show ollie magician Aldrin Garcia busted up and over a 45 inch high bar to land a new Guinness World Record for the ollie.
Get a tape measure out right now and pull it to 45 for the full impact of how tall this is. We saw him go 44 inches last August at the 2010 Grind For Life High Ollie and knew he had a couple more inches in him. Look like he still does. Nice pop. For a couple more angles, follow the jump.

Tonight (February 16, 2011) “smoking hot pro surfer” Alana Blanchard will be on Fuel TV’s The Daily Habit to apparently “catch up on bikinis and her upcoming return to the WCT,” according to Fuel TV.
We’ve never read anything about her “bikini work” before, but a quick look through Rip Curl bikini catalog brought us right up to speed. For Alana’s real fans we recommend the “full-screen” option.

All three Quiksilver Pro events on the ASP 2011 Tour will be broadcast live on free TV in Australia thanks to a deal struck by Australia’s One HD and the company, according to a story in The Australian.
Surfing Australia CEO Andrew Stark said the deal was “monumental”. “As far as sport in Australia is concerned, you absolutely need free-to-air TV,” he told The Australian. “You see the success of netball since they’ve been on free-to-air, and the massive success of V8 Supercars. . . “Our vision is to become mainstream, and this deal is part of that.”
Kind of funny that a broadcast network would step up now that all the events are streamed live on the Internet, but we guess every little bit helps. You hear that ESPN? Maybe Quik can “sponsor” some of your executives and then get a similar deal rolling.
