In case you missed the interview, we had skateboarding legend and hilarious media personality Rob Dyrdek on the show last month.  One of the many things Dyrdek talked about was his new TV show Ridiculousness, which is about to debut Mondays on MTV.  The show apparently is about Dyrdek commenting on hilarious online videos.  A format similar to Comedy Central's Tosh.O, hosted by Daniel Tosh.  Apparently Tosh isn't all too happy about Dyrdek using a format similar to his, as Tosh twatted, "Congrats @robdyrdek. new show looks very funny & familiar."  Dyrdek quickly pulled the twatter snapback, posting on twatter, "Thanks you so much @danieltosh !! Maybe later this week you, @BobSaget and @Tom_Bergeron can come down to my factory and play."  Advantage Dyrdek for essentially calling out Tosh for being a hypocrite.  Ridiculousness trailor below.

"Passionate, insightful, and downright comical. Cyrus never ceases to keep you thoroughly entertained. This book is no exception." - Greg Long, Champion of The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational and the Maverick's Surf Contest.

"I was really stoked to see Cyrus put his interviews to print. Never a dull moment. Rock on." - Jeff Clark, Maverick's pioneer and star of Riding Giants.

"Action sports extremists are a passionate and dedicated lot, and Cyrus Saatsaz brings the same intense commitment and pure stoke to his journalism. This is radical storytelling. Cyrus gets the insider's perspective, because at his core, he's part of the band." - Grant Washburn, legendary Maverick's surfer and film producer.

"I'll never forget an interview I did with Cyrus a few years back, so much fun and so easy to talk to. Thanks for the good times buddy!" - Grant "Twiggy" Baker, 2006 Maverick's Surf Contest Champion.

"The best interview I have ever done." - Johnny Knoxville, actor and star of Jackass.

A lot of current or former professional skateboarders were in the news this week, and not for the right reasons.  Reports all had to do with either major problems or personal issues.  To recount the happenings:

Ryan Sheckler, known both for being one of the greatest skateboarders ever and also for being somewhat cheesedick after his MTV reality series Life of Ryan (or whatever it was called), is catching some heat after posting a picture of himself on Twatter showing off some new Red Bull hat.  Problem with the picture was that in the background there was a Volcano (for you non-stoners out there, a Volcano is a type of vaporizer used for inhaling marijuana in a somewhat healthy fashion).  Sheckler tried to take the picture down, but not before other websites saved a copy.  Sheckler's lawyers are now attempting to try and remove the picture from all websites.  Let me know how that goes.  Welcome to the internet Ryan!

It started as a YouTube comedy sketch introducing the masses to a skateboarding exhibition known as Tarp Surfing. Aimed with the simple purpose of garnering a few laughs from their friends, the video starring local Santa Cruz surfers Omar Etcheverry, Homer Henard and Maverick's alternate Nic Lamb went viral, garnering over 2.5 million views and receiving a nomination for a People's Choice award for Favorite Viral Video Star.

Transworld Business, a very valuable tool for the action sports industry, recently published a story detailing the demographics of the action sports industry's customers.  The numbers may surpise given the perception that youth drives the industry.

One skateboarder helped possibly avert holy war this past weekend, while another skateboarder’s moral compass was perilously off. As such, we have a tale of two skateboarders, one who is being hailed as a hero of sorts for preventing religious conflict, while another is facing serious jail time for allegedly committing multiple felonies, including scamming the government out of $15,000 in workers’ compensation.

A Hungarian Catholic priest has got the marketing strategy down for recruiting young people into the Church. Using an amazing display of skateboarding skills, Father Zoltan Lendavi dazzled a young crowd with his surprising abilities. The 45 year-old Father Lendavi, who learned as a teenager how to skateboard, thinks he can use skateboarding to help spread the word.
