Damn, anyone can win a snowboard contest, but Keir Dillon delivered his own child. That is impressive.
Long story short, I think all the talk about doing kickflips and mctwists in the belly got her all excited and she couldn’t wait for the hospital. Luckily I watched a lot of the Cosby’s when I was a kid so it was all good in holding it down in the living room. I will say tying the cord with dental floss was something that they don’t teach you in health class.
We were just looking over the list of photographers who made the finals at this year’s Telus Pro Photo Shootout and realized that we only know one of them: Frode Sandbech (probably because the rest of them shooting skiing).
Without seeing any photos from the others we’re going to call it right now: Frode will win the contest because he is a photographic monster truck and his competitors are stacks of junked cars. Remind us if we’re wrong.
Featured as the “athlete of the week” on Gay.com a guy known only as “Romeo0011” is encouraging all his homosexual friends to jump on board:
My suggestion to my fellow gay athletes is to turn in your softball gloves, volleyballs and rugby balls and try the extreme sport of snowboarding. There is nothing like the rush of coming down the mountain full force with snow falling from the sky and the feeling of being free and alive.”
Ah, yeah. . . but don’t try surfing because it has some kind of anti-gay force field.
Goldcoast.com.au has the full rundown of surfing’s version of the royal wedding on the Goldie March 15, 2008, as APS World Champion Mick Fanning married Karissa Dalton.
Despite the lavish setting for the wedding, Ms Osborne said the outdoor ceremony and reception which ran until midnight with a swing band were kept low key to reflect the couple’s down-to-earth nature. “It was just people who were of longstanding support to Mick and Karissa who were at the wedding,”she said. Ms Osborne said the bride looked particularly stunning in her white, designer wedding dress.
So far no photos from any of the surf mags. Maybe the special deal the Fannings made with “a women’s magazine also meant no other media were allowed in for the the ceremony.”
Transworld Business is reporting that the seminal core skateboard magazine Big Brother will make it’s return in digital format as part of Jeff Tremaine’s new website Jackassworld.com.
“Right now the plan is that Big Brother will be a section of Jackassworld,” says Tremaine. “We’re going to put up all the back issues and anything we do skateboarding-related will be housed there as well.” . . . New content for Big Brother will focus mostly on skateboarding, and most, if not all of the O.G. Big Brother lineup are lined up to contribute, including Dave Carnie, Sean Cliver, Rick Kosick, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Earl Parker, and Tremaine himself. “Hopefully Marc McKee and everyone else from the original crew will start contributing,” says Tremaine.
We have missed it, but we’re guessing it will never be the same. Because as we all know, money changes everything.
Rocker BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN stunned his musician pal STEVEN VAN ZANDT when he took to the waves to show off his surfing skills – and knocked his front teeth out.
Hard to believe that’s possible. Leave it to the boss.
Luxottica Group SpA, the world’s largest eyewear manufacturer suffered it’s first profit decline in nine years according to a story on Bloomberg.com. And they’re blaming Oakley.
Luxottica dropped as much as 5.7 percent after the company said late yesterday fourth-quarter net income declined 3.7 percent on costs to combine sports-eyewear maker Oakley Inc. with its other divisions. The stock was down 79 cents, or 4.7 percent, to 16.21 euros at 9:40 a.m. in Milan. A close at that price would be the lowest since May 20, 2005.
What a nice welcome to the family. We’re guessing we’ll all see some pretty big changes at Oakley in the coming year. We’ll keep you posted.
Looks like Zumiez has at least one fan in the analyst crowd:
Oppenheimer & Co. analyst Roxanne Meyer maintained an “Outperform” rating on shares. She said any dip in same-store sales may hold back growth, but thinks the stock already reflects such expectations.
Much of this apparently “outperform” comes from the potential for the company to “double it’s store base.”
Just watched this video on Tony Hawk’s Shredordie.com. . . Apparently, Nixon is sponsoring former adult film stars and their cage-fighting boyfriends now (at least with trips to Tavarua).
