TJ Lavin went from riding BMX seven miles through the Las Vegas desert as a teenager to winning the X Games at 20 and hosting MTV's The Challenge for two decades straight. This interview traces every turn — the stolen bikes before his first pro contest, the quesadilla that launched his television career, and the 2010 brain injury that nearly ended everything.The X Games champion and Challenge host details how he won the King of Dirt at 18 on a borrowed bike, caught the attention of sponsors like S&M Bikes and Vans, and dominated BMX dirt jumping through the late 1990s. He also reveals the exact chain of events that connected a swept back porch in 1999 to a phone call from MTV's vice president of talent development five years later — and why he recommended his competitor Cory Nastazio for the hosting job he ultimately received.Lavin describes the premonition he had before his Dew Tour crash, waking up in a coma thinking about how to pay a $2.5 million hospital bill, and the Dana White fundraiser at the Hard Rock that raised $500,000. He explains how he gave leftover funds to injured BMX friends including one paralyzed from the neck down. The conversation also covers his friendship with Carey Hart as roommates, the Dave Mirra connection, learning guitar on a ukulele in Africa during Challenge filming, and why free time has always mattered more to him than money.At 49, Lavin still lives in the same house he built in 1999, trains every morning, and plays open mic nights from Cape Town to Philadelphia. He never drank, never did drugs, and credits the confidence he built on a BMX bike in high school for keeping him grounded through brain injuries, broken limbs, and two decades of reality television.
Jordy Smith joins Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan on Pinch My Salt for an unreal conversation about professional surfing, the WSL Championship Tour, Kelly Slater, Dane Reynolds, Andy Irons, Billabong, Nike, O'Neill, Modern Collective, South African surfing, J-Bay, the North Shore of Hawaii, surf movies, sponsorship deals and one of the craziest untold stories in surf history. Jordy Smith is a World Junior Champion, X Games gold medalist, two-time World Title runner-up, Olympian and one of the longest-running surfers in modern Championship Tour history. In this episode, Jordy opens up about growing up in South Africa, becoming one of the most hyped young surfers in the world, being called “the next Kelly Slater,” traveling and surfing with Sterling Spencer as teenagers, competing against Kelly Slater, his legendary Modern Collective section, Dane Reynolds, the golden era of surf films and what professional surfing was really like behind the scenes. But the wildest story might be Jordy Smith's LOST SURF MOVIE. Jordy and Sterling spent months traveling through South Africa, the Maldives, Australia and beyond filming what was supposed to become Jordy's breakout surf movie. Then his relationship with Billabong fell apart, the hard drives disappeared, Jordy says he spent nearly 10 YEARS trying to track down the footage—and he still hasn't seen it. Then came the $500,000 lawsuit. Jordy talks about being a young rookie, coming from very little money in South Africa and suddenly facing a lawsuit so massive that his parents were considering selling their house and cars. It's an incredible look behind the curtain at the surf industry during one of its biggest eras. We also get into: Jordy Smith vs. Kelly Slater and whether Kelly was ever overscoredThe Jordy Smith vs. Dane Reynolds eraModern Collective and Jordy's insane surfing in 2010Why Jordy turned down Nike 6.0Flying to Nike headquarters on Phil Knight's private planeThe truth behind the Michael Jordan rumorsO'Neill, DVS and huge surf sponsorship dealsGrowing up surfing South Africa and Hawaii's North ShoreJ-Bay and Jordy's rise through professional surfingAndy Irons and the legendary Billabong surf teamMikey February and South African surf cultureWhy the surf industry changedCore surfing vs. mainstream surfingSurf shops, local shapers and the old surf industryJordy's plans after the Championship TourChasing undiscovered waves around the worldThe origin story of “YOU KNOW THE RULES”And why Jordy might be one of the funniest surfers alive. This is one of those episodes where surf history, surf culture and stories from professional surfing collide. If you grew up watching surf videos, following the ASP / WSL World Tour, watching Kelly Slater, Andy Irons, Dane Reynolds, Taj Burrow, Joel Parkinson, Jordy Smith and the generation that defined modern surfing, you're going to love this one.

Welcome to episode 267 of Sports Management Podcast. Can you build an entirely new sport from scratch? In this episode of Sports Management Podcast, Marcus Filipsson speaks with Greg Roe, former Team Canada trampoline athlete and Co-Founder of the Freestyle Trampoline Association. Freestyle trampoline started as an athlete-led movement fueled by backyard videos, social media and a generation that wanted to experience trampoline differently from the traditional Olympic system. Today, the association operates events around the world—but getting there meant creating everything from judging systems and equipment standards to insurance, sponsorship models, international events and an entirely new sporting culture. Greg shares what it really takes to build a sport from zero, why freestyle trampoline has been described as a sport "born on Instagram," whether Olympic recognition actually matters, and why brands are becoming less interested in follower counts and more interested in direct access to customers. We also discuss the realities of entrepreneurship, protecting a sport from investors too early, the future of action sports and Greg's remarkable journey from a Russian orphanage to Team Canada and eventually building a global sports organization. In this episode: • How a new sport gets created from scratch • Why freestyle trampoline was born through social media • Athlete-led sports vs traditional federations • Can an Instagram-born sport reach the Olympics? • What sponsors actually want in 2026 • Why follower counts are losing commercial value • Building events, rules and infrastructure from zero • Protecting the culture of a young sport • The reality of 12 years of entrepreneurship • Greg's journey from Russia to Team Canada • The future of freestyle and action sports ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:14 What Is Freestyle Trampoline? 01:29 Building an Athlete-Led Sport 03:20 How Do You Create a Sport From Scratch? 05:18 Why Athletes Wanted Something Different 07:19 Breaking Away From Traditional Trampoline 09:07 The Viral Video That Changed Everything 10:18 Finding the Right Co-Founder 10:49 Building the Sport Without Advertising 12:43 Can a Sport Born on Instagram Reach the Olympics? 14:20 The Rise of the "Flipping" Sports Industry 15:35 Competition Between New Action Sports 18:06 Building a World Championship 21:15 The Business Behind a New Sports League 24:38 Why Some Sports Never Grow 26:26 Why Taking Investors Too Early Can Be Dangerous 27:13 Working With the X Games 28:41 Why Follower Counts Matter Less to Sponsors 30:50 What Brands Actually Want 33:55 Does Freestyle Trampoline Need the Olympics? 35:29 Building a Business Beyond Competition 39:16 The Reality of Being a Sports Entrepreneur 42:46 Fighting an Established Industry 44:23 Greg's Journey From a Russian Orphanage 45:23 Becoming an Elite Trampoline Athlete 47:46 Team Canada, World Records & America's Got Talent 51:24 From Athlete to Entrepreneur 51:37 Where to Find Freestyle Trampoline Follow Sports Management Podcast for more conversations exploring the business and future of sport.

What happens when a professional athlete's career ends and then the income ends too? Dan Brisse saw his childhood heroes lose everything and used that as a warning to build a completely different financial future.He spent nearly 15 years as a professional snowboarder watching fellow athletes lose their homes, cars, and financial stability after their careers ended. That forced him to think differently about money. Instead of waiting until retirement, Dan learned how to turn the income he earned as an athlete into assets that could generate cash flow and give him greater control over his future.In this episode, Dan joins Russ and Joey to share how he went from buying his first rental properties to building Granite Towers Equity Group and investing in larger multifamily properties. He explains why he uses a clear investment “buy box” rather than chasing every deal that looks attractive.Top three things you will learn: -Why athletes need a financial plan beyond their athletic career-How to evaluate a real estate deal before investing-Why investment losses can become valuable lessonsAbout Our Guest:Dan Brisse is the co-founder & Managing Partner at Granite Towers Equity Group and oversees operations, acquisitions, investor relations, and asset management.

I first met Alex Hackel in Austria filming a video where I taught him to improve his short turns, tracked by CARV, the digital ski coach. What struck me most was how good a learner he was — focused, determined, and genuinely humble. That's a big part of why I wanted him on the podcast.Two-time X Games medalist Alex Hackel didn't get here by being the most naturally talented kid on the mountain — he got here by getting rejected, picked last, and told by a coach he'd never make it pro.In this episode we go back to that moment at Sunday River, how he found the coach (Mike Hanley) who changed everything, the story behind his triple cork 1080, and how that same “figure it out and go again” mindset led him into filmmaking, freeride, co-founding his own ski company (1000 Skis), and starting a YouTube channel from scratch that's since taken off.If you've ever felt written off before you even got started, this one's for you.Get 20% off Big Picture Skiing membership with code PODCAST at bigpictureskiing.comChapters:00:00 Intro00:56 Why Alex is successful in so many different ways01:24 The Sunday River story — judged and picked last02:52 Growing up with idiopathic short stature04:23 What kept him from giving up06:29 Finding support in the terrain park (meeting Curtis)07:38 Convincing his parents to send him to Windells Academy09:03 Meeting coach Mike Hanley11:10 The triple cork 1080 story — a coach who believed in him first13:00 Advice on learning bigger spins and takeoffs16:16 Managing fear and nerves on big tricks18:08 How airbags changed trick progression19:04 Getting into filmmaking21:47 What it actually takes to grow a YouTube channel25:19 The “White Rush” video and why it stood out30:34 Why he started his own ski company, 1000 Skis37:41 Sleep, routine, and shifting to long-term thinking41:17 Final words and mutual respect42:34 Where to find Alex Hackel + 1000 SkisAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Grab your helmet and your grip tape for a ride through the surprising past and thrilling present of skateboarding, a sport that's indelibly shaped West Coast slang, fashion, and urban landscape design. Our hosts are joined by former pro skater and current Olympic judge Alex White for a journey through the drained swimming pools, Costco curbs, and other surprising locales that nurtured some of the world's best skaters. Learn about the rebellious origins of skateboarding, as “sidewalk surfing” among the bored teens of suburban Southern California in the 1960s; the sport's mainstream crossover with the X Games and rise of stars like Tony Hawk in the ‘90s; and the present, when city councils and urban planners are embracing a sport once viewed as criminal and fans gear up to watch world-class athletes catch air at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles—right where it all started. Roll into these historic skate spots: Pacific Beach, San Diego Linda Vista Skate Park, San Diego Venice Skate Park, Los Angeles Dogtown, Los Angeles The Santa Monica Courthouse Skate Plaza, Los Angeles Rip City Skates, Santa Monica Sergeant Derby Park, Santa Cruz NHS Skateboard Museum, Santa Cruz Embarcadero and U.N. Plazas, San Francisco Burnside Skate Park, Portland, Oregon Guest: Alex White Alex White is a lifelong skateboarder and self-described skate nerd who grew up skating in unsanctioned spots in Los Angeles during the late '90s boom. After spending her youth dodging mall security, she grew up to be a professional skateboarder. She's now a skateboarding brand manager, co-host of the skateboarding podcast “Good Luck With That,” a certified Olympic judge and Olympic skateboarding commentator, and chairperson of the board at Skate Like a Girl, a nonprofit that creates opportunities and advocates for skateboarders of all ages, abilities, and gender identities.

Ricker and Bon open with the platform question every podcaster eventually asks: how did Spotify win the culture war while Apple Music and Apple Podcasts still struggle to feel social? They get into discovery, desktop apps, short-form conversion and why technically polished products do not automatically become the cool products people use.The tech rundown starts with a proposed futures market for computing power and the economics of aging data-center hardware. That leads into SpaceX's expanding AI-infrastructure costs, Starlink growth and the question of whether spending on AI is outrunning the business paying for it.From there, the show detours into Silicon Valley, Blue Mountain State and An Extremely Goofy Movie: college nostalgia, Goofy's unemployment crisis, X Games-era Disney synergy and the surprisingly deep economics of a cartoon dog going back to school.The guys compare AI-assisted software building with traditional development, explain how GitHub keeps code and dependencies connected, and react to Google's enormous shared codebase spanning products such as YouTube, Maps and Waymo. If regulators ever forced Google to spin off YouTube, separating the technology could be as difficult as separating the business.Then the Lakers take over the show. Ricker and Bon work through reports of a $12.5 billion agreement involving Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, compare recent NBA-team valuations and sale prices, and debate what brand, location, ticket demand and taxes really mean when a sports franchise changes hands.Weekend hour goes to goth night at The OffBeat in Highland Park: dance music, warehouse afters, tortas, awkward approaches on the dance floor and the strangely perfect names Los Angeles nightlife gives itself.The transportation discussion pits Uber's platform strategy against Waymo's capital-intensive robotaxi operation and Tesla's long-delayed promises. Uber and Pony.ai want to deploy more than 2,000 robotaxis across five European cities, while the hosts argue that Waymo is already delivering the strongest rider experience in Los Angeles.They also cover Apple's China-specific AI model with Alibaba and the regulatory bargain required to bring Apple Intelligence into that market. From there, the conversation moves to beneficial-ownership reporting, anonymous LLCs and whether accountability changes when companies can hide the people controlling them.The episode closes on data centers and public backlash. The hosts argue that the opposition is not always anti-AI: data centers have become a visible symbol of inequality, infrastructure strain and a buildout whose long-term demand is still uncertain.0:00 Cold open1:23 Show open and podcast clips8:09 Spotify vs. Apple12:18 Compute futures and SpaceX AI costs13:50 Goofy goes to college24:36 Wrivid and AI workflows27:42 Google's monorepo and a YouTube spin-off32:51 The Lakers' $12.5B deal46:04 Goth night at The OffBeat52:34 Uber, Pony.ai, Waymo and robotaxis56:25 Apple builds AI for China with Alibaba57:16 Anonymous LLCs and ownership reporting65:49 Data center backlashFollow Ricker and Bon:http://instagram.com/rickerandbonhttp://tiktok.com/@rickerandbonhttps://youtube.com/@rickerandbonhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0n1m0eR2sYZU2EFhSwlqX1https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ricker-and-bon/id1367523204
Dan Brisse is the co-founder and managing partner of Granite Towers Equity Group, where he oversees operations, acquisitions, investor relations, and asset management. Before becoming a real estate investor, Dan spent more than 13 years as a professional snowboarder, winning multiple X Games gold medals and becoming one of the top urban snowboarders in the world. After seeing fellow athletes struggle financially when their careers ended, Dan began investing his earnings into real estate and building passive income. Today, Granite Towers manages thousands of multifamily units and hundreds of millions in investor equity. On this episode we talk about: How Dan went from a professional snowboarding career to building passive income through real estate The financial lessons he learned from watching professional athletes struggle after their careers ended Why increasing passive income became more important to Dan than simply increasing earned income How real estate cycles, interest rates, and variable-rate debt are creating opportunities in today's multifamily market The importance of maintaining a modest lifestyle when your income increases How Dan approaches investing, diversification, taxes, and building long-term wealth Top 3 Takeaways Don't confuse a high income with wealth. When your income increases, maintain financial discipline and put the extra capital into assets that can continue producing income long after the paycheck stops. Understand the cycle you're investing in. Real estate markets move in cycles, and periods of fear can create opportunities for investors who understand the fundamentals and have the capital to act. Learn how to keep the money you make. Earning more is only part of the equation. Dan emphasizes the importance of taxes, investing, controlling your capital, and building assets that can create wealth for decades. Notable Quotes “You're not rich yet. You just made good money this year.” “How do you keep it for more than 15 seconds?” “If you put your capital into an asset to work for you, now you have the capital and you're getting streams of income that I control.” Connect with Dan Brisse: Website: Granite Towers Equity Group Podcast: Keeping It Real Estate Book: Four Steps to Successful Passive Investing Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danbrisse/ A Word from Our Sponsors: - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through August 23, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan Mail8% of pro athletes are broke within 3 years of retirement. Dan Breezy watched it happen to his friends and decided to do something different. After multiple X Games gold medals in urban snowboarding, he took the same "inch wide, mile deep" focus that made him one of the best in the world at one discipline - and applied it to becoming one of the best value-add multifamily operators in Dallas-Fort Worth, working alongside mentors like Ken McElroy and Bobby Castro.In this episode, Dan breaks down the visualization principle that let him land tricks he had never attempted before - seeing it perfectly in his mind's eye before he ever hit the jump. He connects that directly to real estate underwriting: if you can't see the answer clearly, stay back. He shares the painful lesson of running too optimistically without accounting for market cycles, how to structure debt based on where you are in the cycle, and why getting crushed in taxes as an athlete was the catalyst for everything.

Roku just agreed to be acquired by Fox in a deal valuing the streaming giant at $22 billion — but long before the headlines, Roku had quietly built one of the most ambitious sports strategies in streaming. On this episode, Nick sits down with Joe Franzetta, Head of Sports for Roku Media, to unpack how a platform reaching 100 million households is working to make sports content frictionless to find, aggregate, and monetize in an increasingly fragmented rights landscape.How Roku's "Sports Zone" aggregates live games, clips, highlights and stats across leagues like the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NWSL and WNBA — and how that model scaled to seven territories for the World CupThe difference between Roku as a platform (distribution partner integrations) versus the Roku Channel as a first-party service (FAST channels, originals, live rights deals with MLB, Formula E, X Games and the Savannah Bananas)Why rights fragmentation isn't reversing — and how personalization, metadata and interactivity are becoming the tools to reaggregate the viewing experience without a cable-style bundleHow Roku funds its sports push through advertising and sponsorship rather than subscription or affiliate fees, and what "shared upside" partnerships look like in practiceA first take on what the pending Fox acquisition could mean for Roku's sports ambitions, and why it's "business as usual" until the deal closesLike and subcribe to receive weekly episodes from StreamTime Sports.
