On The Boardr with Clint Walker: Shoe Sponsors, Herpes, X Games Real Street
Published 5/27/2014 by Rob Meronek
HiDefJoe caught up with Clint Walker while we were recently in Las Vegas for a new episode of On The Boardr with Clint. Who ignored Clint's sponsor me tape? Why can't Clint get a shoe sponsor? Who is Jock and why does Clint hate him? He started filming for his X Games Real Street part just four months ago and discusses all that and more. It's a nice view into Clint's personality, too. Hey sketchy skateboard industry, let's get some shoes on this dude!

5/7/2014
Are you ready for the Static IV premiere this Friday at Tampa Theater at 10pm? We are hyped. HiDefJoe has Yonnie Cruz on The Boardr in our new feature where he discusses the GX edits and where it's going, what it was like filming for his Static IV part, and more. I first met Yonnie in 2002 when he was just starting to get good at skating and was beyond stoked on every new thing he learned from basic kickflips to bomb drops off the ramp decks. That outgoing, excitable personality remains through today where it's nice to see matched with great style in skateboarding.
