The Surf News InsiderThe latest surf-related news from the coconut wireless. Edited by Chris Mauro. Recent Comments backsidefive says: "This is what I love about Kelly Slater...He's made a career out of doing what he loves but he doesn't put himself on top of the world just because he's the best there is and possibly one of the best overall athletes around. He has fun and just does his best, and even though he is the best, he's not arrogant about it. He has a great attitude and everyone should learn from him! Keep grinding hard Slater!" backsidefive says: "I think everyone likes winning more than losing. The important thing is to enjoy what you're doing....take it seriously but not so serious that you're walking around with a stick up your a$$." backsidefive says: "I agree. Surfing is way underrated in the US and Slater deserves more credit than the press gives him. He always has been and always will be a beast! Keep grinding hard Slater!" catherine gwen says: "This American can appreciate the talents of Slater... in fact I know quite a few Americans and one Canadian @ www.backsidefive.com that feel the same way. Grinding harder ;)" | < previous 240 of 364 next > Travis Pastrana makes record leap into the New YearIn Long Beach, Calif., New Year's revelers don't have a ball that drops. But this year they did have action sports icon Travis Pastrana flying his rally car across Rainbow Harbor. Pastrana was the center attraction at this year's Red Bull New Year No Limits event. He celebrated the arrival of 2010 by successfully shattering the old car-jumping record of 171 feet after launching his tiny Red Bull sedan off the Pine Street Pier going 90 mph. Pastrana officially flew his car 269 feet over the water before landing hard on a floating barge and skidding into a barricade that prevented him from going into the drink. The X-Games legend (9 gold medals) made his name in motocross, but Pastrana's 450 HP Subaru WRX STI rally car has become his vehicle of choice. He's also become one of the most renowned daredevils. When he was 18 years old he jumped his motorcycle into the Grand Canyon. A few years later he jumped out of a plane without a parachute. After spending months of trial and error in the desert training for this stunt, Pastrana thrilled the crowd by sticking the landing perfectly. Channels: Moto < previous 240 of 364 next > |

Your obviously ignorant, your either 12 years old or an uneducated hater of those who can actually DO something. When is the last time Red Bull paid you $10 Million? So go crash your own car because your nobody.

We use to have guys like him. They did what no one else dared.We use to have baseball and football players that every kid knew their name.They didn't have to juice up to be something or someone. Funny the world was a better place then

Uh, sweet name "killerklown"...so inventive. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past decade, this "jerk" better known as "the wonder boy" if you're going by nicknames, Travis is famous for his incredible skill and mastery racing and riding a motocross bike (his accolades are too lengthy to even begin listing) and for being a superb and dedicated athelete. He is also one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. I realize your baser instincts is to speak from a place of jealousy, but maybe try a different approach.

I think you might be just a clown wanting attention!

Has anyone really thought of the fact that he said he was doing for when it turned 2010, but in fact he was in Califaornia when he jumped and it was only 9 3 hrs earlier

Who cares? I think your thinking too hard. Go watch porn.

Just because YOU don't have balls enough to do anything he doesn't me you should wish him bad luck..Besides if you don't care about "this hyped up crap" don't watch it. Go beat off in the corner
