Suspiciously missing from the list is Rob Dyrdek and BAM, who both make at least $1 mill per year. Skateboarding and other board sport stars on average still make a lot less than main stream sports. Tiger, Lebron, Kobe and even Michale Jordan still make well over $40 mill per year.

(aka P-Rod) makes his big screen debut in the upcoming movie Vicious Circle.

Set in modern day Venice Beach, this character study uniquely examines cause and effect, unintended consequences and the duality of brotherhood. Inventive and wise beyond his years, young RJ is an artist, a chess master, and on a mission to find out what happened to his dead girlfriend. But he’s not the only one. A speed-fueled gangster, a petty but vicious drug dealer and the cops all think RJ has the answers.

They’ve now re-branded under the name ESPN Action Sports.

ESPN is re-branding its online home for action sports. The site will become ESPN Action Sports this fall as part of a new multimedia initiative that will also mark the launch of the ESPN Action Sports Network—a group of interconnected sites, including sport-specific vertical sites from ESPN (ex: ESPN Skate) and other premiere action sports destinations such as Surfline.com, Vans.com, Active Ride Shop and more. The new network of sites, with ESPN Action Sports as its central hub, will create multiple drop in points for action sports participants and enthusiasts, with the mission of developing the best, deepest, most useful network of action sports content and community anywhere.

I guess they’re trying to get the word out to support your core companies. Consolidated has been at this for a while, and now they have some support from the snowboard industry.
