Film School: Good Days with P-Rod

-A lot of people like to hate on P-Rod because he rides for Nike, skates a lot of competitions and is the good looking son of a kind-of famous actor. With the X-Games on this week I was thinking about Rodriguez and I decided that I like him, not only because he's an incredible skater, but because he has a personal mission to make skaters recognized among other professional athletes. The above video is an extended version of an ad featuring P-Rod and Koston along with Kobe and Ice Cube that Nike has been running for a couple weeks. Props to Theotis for making the extended cut.

-Oh and there is some behind the scenes footy on the Nike SB site and here's Hypebeast with a dope interview and a new show from P-Rod.

Film School: Nike SB Freebie

-The folks at Nike SB are providing free downloads and/or HD streaming of their new video, Debacle, which, given the way YouTube has completely destroyed the skate video as a form of revenue generation, is a great idea. You can get the video on the SB site.

-I'm most excited about Theotis Beasley's part. Theo has become one of my favorite skaters in recent months as much for his raw skating as for his positive demeanor. Check out this interview with the Beast from Skateboarder mag.
