Today I appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show. Here are a couple photos to check out from the short but very memorable moment of my career.

Sorry for the late update but I have been on a really crazy schedule traveling all over the midwest doing a ton of College tours for Red Bull. It has been a month jammed packed with with nothing but traveling but I have been loving every second of it. Since it would take forever to talk about every trip I am going to talk about my favorite one so far.
The madness is over! Yey! Seriously, has there ever been a more boring version of the Disney X Games? It’s just a stale, stagnant version of its old self. Two things are direly needed: A change in venue (and by “venue” we mean a whole new location, enough of L.A. already), and less events. Amazingly enough, a massive south swell coupled with the arrival of the world’s best surfers resulted in the U.S. Open of Surfing coming through. Highly doubt that’ll happen again. Congrats to Brett Simpson for winning at his home break of Huntington. Listed below are the complete results from the latest clusterf*ck edition of the Disney X Games, plus video highlights of Kelly Slater’s Perfect 10 at the U.S. Open of Surfing.
While not quite at Matt Hoffman's level, BMX superstar Chad Kagy holds his own. The Gilroy, Ca native joined The Extreme Scene on June 5th, 2007 to talk about his success at both the X-Games and the Dew Action Sports Tour.
This last Monday sucked such a big fat cock that there simply wasn't enough energy to post the Mantangled. The wait was worth it though, as this poor schmuck learns the hard way what happens when you fall short off a jump.
Mantangled video goodness after the jump.
Good friend and former radio colleague Damon Bruce recently had a book published titled The Great Book of San Francisco Bay Area Sports Lists, which is a great read if you're a fan of sports, Northern California, and especially both. Within the book are sections with contributions from guest writers, and they all provide great lists to read, ponder and question.
The folks over at Disney have just released their invited athlete list for the Summer X Games. Of note is a new skateboard big air rail jam event, the ladies are now invited in motox, and uber-nerd Travis Pastrana might return to compete in motox. Does anyone over 18 who isn't in the industry care about this shit anymore?

Andrew Horan, President of Shop-eat-surf.com, joined Cyrus & Omar to talk about Source Interlink (the parent company of Surfing, Surfer, Skateboarder, Snowboarder and many more) filing for bankruptcy, who was effected by the filing, and why print is failing.
A short while back we talked about how the Mountain Dew Tour made some significant changes after losing key sponsors Panasonic and Right Guard. The major changes involved the Mountain Dew Tour eliminating the Baltimore and Cleveland stops, and replacing them with single-sport skate and BMX events in Boston and Chicago. To help stop the bleeding, the Mountain Dew Tour just announced that they have signed a multi-year deal with Nike 6.0, which includes Nike 6.0 being the title sponsor of the BMX event in Chicago and making their presence felt at all the other Mountain Dew Tour events.
No matter how much your Monday sucks, and I'm sure it sucks quite a bit, you can always find a little peace and solace in knowing that it will more than likely never suck quite as much as this.
