Nyjah Huston Talks Baller Lifestyle in HBO Promo Segment
Our entertainment division missed this priceless behind-the-scenes clip for this season of HBO’s Ballers when it released a couple of weeks ago. But that’s okay. Judging from the view count, so did most of the rest of the world. If you’ve been paying attention, then you know that action sports are a part of this season’s narrative with Nyjah Huston, Tony Hawk, and Zion Wright all making appearances. This segment features Nyjah, Tony, Travis Pastrana, and Kelly Slater talking about their experiences working on the show, and the lifestyles of professional action sports athletes. It also shows a bit more of Nyjah’s screen time, which includes a reference to his numerous cars. Season 4 of Ballers is currently airing on Sundays at 10 p.m.

Watch ‘TUANY’ Skate Video Featuring Sebastien Cao and Theo Meas
Watch Sebastien Cao and Theo Meas as they shred in the streets of South America.
The video was filmed during three months of backpacking from Mexico to Costa Rica, crossing Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
Making it even more impressive (and a reason needs to come calling), “TUANY” was entirely filmed, edited, and animated using an iPhone with Theo and Sebastien doing the editing themselves (and some of the filming too).
