Not sketchy at all.

@kblock43 about to do donuts in his rally car around a Gourdoughs donut! #yuuum He's shooting for his first gold here in Austin @xgames Austin in June. #xgamesatx #xgamesaustin

#TBT to last week when I did some donuts around a giant (fake) doughnut in Austin, TX for an X Games commercial. @phil_ellsworth created this awesome image for ESPN. That was a fun day at work! #doughnuthoonage #fauxnut

Getting ready for work today here in Austin with @XGames. Remember kids, a healthy breakfast is the key to the start of a good day. #donutsnotdoughnuts #tiresmokenotcigarettesmoke

Ishy like donuts, Ishy hungry!

@currencaples hittin' the quarter pipe today. @xgames #xgamesatx #xgamesaustin

@nyjah_huston hanging in Austin getting used to the heat for the @xgames in June. A solid dude turning out to be one of the best skaters in history. He's already won 4 golds at the @xgames. I'm sure he'll crush it in June in Austin. Honored to have spent the day with him. Good luck brother. #xgamesatx #xgamesaustin

Out here doing the iPhone game for Instagram and ESPN... #instagram #espn #xgames #xgamesaustin #ripndip @espn @instagram @nyjah_huston @ishodwair

Had a special guest in my racecar this morning: one of the best skateboarders in the world (and arguably the best contest skater in the world) @Nyjah_Huston. We are both here in Austin, TX, shooting a commercial for @XGames, and part of the script had him jumping into my car for a quick run after I did a donut. Too bad I didn’t get to take him for a much better ride-a-long. Next time!
