Having been involved in the action sports industry for the better part of a decade, I have somehow managed to not once attend the industry’s largest trade show, ASR (Action Sports Retailer). With an exciting new business venture about to get underway, the time was now to attend what was once an action sports retailer expo and is now an action sports extravaganza of epic proportions.

Seriously, does anyone watch the X Games anymore? The event’s been in HelLA ten years too long, yet the idiots who run this campaign think that holding the event in SoCal year after year is the way to go. Never mind that the X Games generated massive publicity when they changed cities every two years. To top things off the organizers fail to take advantage of a key SoCal advantage: Surf. They haven’t had a surf contest for a few years now. Combined with a lack of dramatics and heavy corporate influence, either we’re getting too old for this sh!t or the X Games need a major makeover. The one highlight came from the stands, when a betty decided to flash her fellow X Games spectators. One particular boy was very pleased by the spectacle.

Ian Sherman is an up-and-coming skateboarder out of Topeka, KS.  Yet his claim to fame isn’t because of his skateboarding talents; rather, it’s because of the pain and suffering Sherman goes through after blowing up his nuts.  Out of all the skateboarding wipeout videos we’ve posted, this one takes the jewels (full pun intended).  It doesn’t help that they show replay after replay of Sherman’s horrendous accident.  And yet, you’ll just keep watching the painful horror, over and over, until the video ends.
