FOX 6 San Diego - Biased Against Action Sports?

ASR Blog - If you are reading this blog, there’s a good chance you know how much Shaun White has accomplished—from being one of the best in two sports (skateboarding and snowboarding) to winning a gold in the 2006 Olympic Games, so you would think that his hometown station would be interested in doing a story on him...

DC launches TV

sk8babee sk8babee posted 2/16/2008 from www.ASRTalkingHeads.com

It seems as if our “little” action sports companies just keep growing and growing. It’s so cool to see what were once, small companies started by people who had a passion for a sport, evolve into multi-million dollar brands who have the marketing savvy to hit on what’s next. Case in point—DC announced today that they are launching DC Skateboarding TV.

Surfboard Technology

sk8babee sk8babee posted 5/12/2008 from www.ASRTalkingHeads.com

Have you had a chance to read the latest issue (April ‘08) of TW Business ? Focusing on the state of hardgoods in the surf industry, it was filled with tech information on boards and fins, interviews with some of the world’s top shapers, and what is selling in the shops. At first, when seeing all the tech articles, I thought the issue would be dry, but instead, I was fascinated.

When we think of the ASR show, we not only think of all the appointments, but we also think of the beer at the booths, the big dinners, and the late night partying.

Surfboards and Celebrities

ASR Blog - I remember when I first saw Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake surfing. It was in a magazine like Star or US (I know, I read them, guilty pleasure) and I remember noticing that they were riding Evolution surfboards.

Santa Monica Beaches

sk8babee sk8babee posted 5/12/2008 from www.ASRTalkingHeads.com

I was up in Santa Monica today, and the thing that always strikes me while I’m there is how the people love their beaches. If you stroll along the boardwalk, you can see that the city has built parks all along it—there are playgrounds for kids, obstacle courses for adults, rings, bars, etc for exercise, even a giant chess set.

Chris Pastras (left) and Jason Lee, owners of Stereo Skateboards While I was at the show on Thursday, word got out that actor Jason Lee was chilling in the Stereo booth. As people would be with any celebrity, they were excited to have caught a glimpse and see him actually working the show.

ASR Talking Heads: Create A Skate

MVNsoccer MVNsoccer posted 2/21/2008 from www.ASRTalkingHeads.com

When I was in high school, I think the coolest (a.k.a. fun) class was ASB or yearbook. And, the only real thing that made it cool was that our teacher (same one for both) used to tape Beverly Hills 90210 and let us watch it in class. Nowadays, there seems to be a plethora of fun classes...

Winter X - Judging Big Air

Dex_sk8 Dex_sk8 posted 2/15/2008 from www.ASRTalkingHeads.com

ASR Blog - At this year’s Winter X Games, you may have noticed that they introduced a new event. Calling it Big Air, it was described in ESPN the Magazine as, “an update to 2007’s best-trick event, big air features four riders facing off head-to-head. In each round, riders get two runs to throw their biggest tricks off a 65-foot step-up gap jump.

ASR Talking Heads Blog: Coastal Commission meeting

MVNsoccer MVNsoccer posted 2/7/2008 from www.ASRTalkingHeads.com

Living a short bike ride away from Trestles, I have a personal interest in the proposed 241 toll road completion that is slated to run right through the San Mateo campground and negatively affect the breaks at Trestles and San Onofre. I knew plenty of others had an interest as well. Little did I know how many of us would turn out in support of saving our State Parks!

Shark Attack in North County
Shark Attack in North County

Rover Rover found this 4/25/2008 on www.ASRTalkingHeads.com

Have you heard about this yet? This morning, in Solana Beach, a man was attacked by what officials believe was a Great White shark. The man, part of a group of swimmers, was bitten in the legs; his friends dragged him out of the water, and he was pronounced dead about an hour later. Makes those who surf at San Onofre rethink getting into the water, huh? Great Whites are seen at Trail One, ...

Shark Attack Month?

Rover Rover found this 4/30/2008 on www.ASRTalkingHeads.com

What is it with the shark attack stories that have been headlining the newspapers this past week? First there was the attack which resulted in a fatality in Solana Beach, CA. Yesterday I read about a teen who was bit by a shark while surfing in Florida—luckily, he escaped with only the bite mark to talk about. Now today I read that a surfer in Troncones, Mexico was bitten, and then died as a ...

April 11 --- ASR Blog: Bill Ballard's "Archy: Built for Speed, Born to Ride!" premiered at the Lido in Newport Beach. --- The film, centered on the life of professional surfer Matt Archbold, promised to be a good one. --- I was eagerly anticipating it because living in San Clemente coupled with working in the industry, I always hear stories of the mid-80’s when Archy ruled the local waves...
