Tough Times Equal Second Jobs For Pro Skateboarders

By: Tom Morin

We're all feeling the pinch of the current hard economic times, and big time pro skateboarders aren't excluded. Even
onesthat sign with big companies like Nike. Yup, Eric Koston had to get asecond job making pretzels at an Auntie Anne's. You heard right, I sawhim the other day at the Valley mall twisting some dough.

Just kidding, Daryl Angel found this dude the other day, took a photo, and sent it on over to Crailtap.I'd have to say that is a dead on match for the Frost man. If theChocolate video has a big ellaborate intro like Fully Flared did, andthey want Koston to partake again, he won't need show up. This guy canbe his stunt double.

Hell, I think Koston should put this guyon retainer. You know for demos, and all the other "meet and creep"things he has to go to. All he'll have to do is top whatever AuntieAnnie pays.

Street League 2012: Nyjah Huston Wins Kansas City... Again

Street League's instant scoring allowed for the possibility of pressure-packed moments, but very few times did the skateboarders deliver

The 2012 Street League season kicked off in Kansas City this past weekend as it did last year-- with skateboard technician Nyjah Huston taking home $150,000. Huston's ability to land difficult and technical tricks consistently makes him almost unbeatable in the current Street League format.

"It was a hard one tonight, that's for sure!" said Nyjah. "I definitely had to work for it. I love the challenge, though, and to skate with these guys is great."
