A 900 At 12 Years Old – Kid Is Going To Be Damn Good
I just caught this clip over at ESPN – check the video below to see a very casual 900 from a 12 year old Tom Schaar. He stomped this at the MegaRamp facility at Woodward West. Shaar is the eighth person to land the 900 and the youngest by two years. The most recent successful new entrant into the club was Elliot Sloan with the 900 tail from the Maloof Money Cup in South Africa.

Nyjah Huston’s Battle Commander
Nyjah Huston’s Battle Commander dopped on the Berrics last Saturday. If you haven’t checked out out as yet – hit it up here. There’s some damn epic moments in the clip but it didn’t have the same excitement for me as the Torey Pudwill one from a few months ago. Still, I think Huston’s full part being released by Element on September 11th is going to be the one to hang out for. Check the teasers for that over here.

Alessandra Ambrosio went surfing on a Victoria’s Secret surfboard for a shoot or something recently… I’m trying to add as much relevant information here as I can to justify a gallery of shots of Ambrosio in a bikini but I’m struggling.

Ford Focus Titanium Review
You can’t watch Ken Block do his Gymkhana thing and not be a little interested in what Ford is up to with their small to medium cars at the moment. Block’s latest creation, the adapted Fiesta called H.F.H.V. which covers several different driving competitions in one car, piqued that interest for me and when Ford called with the opportunity to drive the 2011 Focus, I was all about it.

Jereme Roger’s Tweaked Tweets – Interview
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Jereme Rogers is the skateboarding equivalent of Charlie Sheen. Following him on Twitter is like being subjected to a really kooky reality TV show that you keep watching because it’s kind of funny. That, and you’re expecting the whole thing to fall apart sometime soon and you want to be there when it does. Even though he still kills it on his board, I decided I couldn’t let his bizarre ramblings …
