I bet he asks how much he gets paid for a chipmunks film.

Re. the Salba episode -
I did have to chuckle at the 2:39 mark when, after not ceasing to relentlessly talk about himself for over two and half hours, he confesses that heās one of those types of people that doesnāt really like to talk about themselves.
There are some interesting stories in there though, getting plans of all the US dams to seek out skateable pipes being one of them. That said, I canāt see it ranking in amongst many peopleās favourites, (apart from Salba himself,that is).

Jason Lee - āThen I got a part in Enemy of the Stateā¦ā
Crob - āWait, you were in Enemy of the State?ā
Jason Lee - āYeahā¦ā
Crob - āIt was a forgettable part though, right?ā
Jason Lee - āHuh?ā
Crob - " I love that film and I just donāt remember you being in it!"

seems like Torres was doing California tech on east coast spots at a time when skateboarding was all superstar stunts
I definitely prefer this interview with him

Well that was a painful watch. I sat through the whole thing and despite her smile and hippy sweater I couldnāt help but have this flashing up in my mind throughout ā¦*
Prime example of her disingenuous and thinly veiled hypocrisy was the slip up re. Amazon. āāAmazon and Facebook are ruining things for all of us. Everyone should just fuck them offāā, (pretty much the only thing she said that I agreed with), followed by āābuy my husbandās new book. Itās available from Amazonāā.
*obviously Iām not suggesting that she or anyone takes Billās advice literally but the sentiment behind what heās pointing out stands.
This went some way to neutralising the bad taste that I had lingering after watching that Nine Club episode.
Sounds like it could be the worst one ever, which is probably saying something. Maybe you can just pay to be featured now, like No Comply Network, whatever that even is.
Who is this person anyway? Google suggests something to do with the business side of snowboarding.
OK, sounds very boring. I donāt think many of the skateboarders Iām interested in have agents.
Jason Ellis was really funny.

She does have roots in skating from way back. Apparently she could have been sponsored by Powell had she taken the meeting, (her words not mine).She was mates with Anita whatshername from Public Domain/Ban This. She was a relatively accomplished snowboarder, got injured a bit and got let go by her sponsor then sued them for wrongful dismissal. That āinspiredā her to become an Action Sports agent.
She does Skate /Snow/Surtf. She represented Koston, Rune, Bob and others , and continues to represent Prod and Kelly Slater amongst others. She was almost directly responsible for the Life of Ryan TV show becoming a thing. The list of crap goes on. Iāve heard the argument that skaters need to get paid - and yeah, they do but I just canāt get past these kind of people who commoditise the world and stick a dollar sign on absolutely everything around them.
