Fans of these sports expect to see their athletes perform in magazines and videos. That's been so since VHS days.<br /><br />DC Shoes are also on Ken Block's racing car, even though his Gymkana videos get them more exposure than racing: correct?Paul Danger Kile of DangerIsMyMiddleName.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261776085397608895noreply@blogger.com
