This week we're welcoming Asphalt Yacht Club to The Boardr Store. Instead of me interviewing them, they flipped it around this time and interviewed me. We talked about skate business and retail being tough, times where my favorite shoes must be placed in my mouth due to loose lips on the keyboard, and all the nerdness I'm attracted to like stats and reports on skateboarding.

While I was in China last month for Damn Am, Andrew with KickerClub.com did an interview with me about all the digital stuff I did at SPoT before leaving, what I'm up to with The Boardr, and a little bit about skateboarding media and Skateboarder Magazine calling it quits. The English version is at the bottom.

ESPN has an article and interview with Ryan Clements on how he helps pro skaters keep their financial matters in order. I'm a CPA and I have a confession to make: Ryan keeps me in financial check, too!

A little over 10 years ago, Ryan and I started attending X Games eventsas they started to really get a lot of things right, like the course, the invited skaters, and the format. We've been attending as spectators ever since, watching the evolution of their big event. This year, we're pleased to announce that we're working with X Games and ESPN as the skateboarding organizers for the Men’s and Women’s Street and Park disciplines. For the next three years, we'll be mixing skateboard business and pleasure with our friends at ESPN, as we all continue to help evolve their skateboarding events. This year, X Games is in Austin, Texas starting June 5th.
