We're excited to premiere the first episode of Across the Board, a new skateboarding/surfing/snowboarding-centric show from YouTube's Reserve Channel, hosted by model and (and one of our favorite Parenthood actresses), Joy Bryant. We knew that the gal was a huge snowboarding enthusiast (read our little chat with Bryant at a Burton party HERE) but didn't realize that her interests extended across multiple horizontal, wooden platforms. That aside, check out the show's premiere, which features Bryant chatting and skating -- knee pads, awesome novena candle socks and all -- with Paul Rodriguez III, a hunky six-time X Games medal-winning pro-skater (who appeared on our 25th anniversary cover, and, fun fact, is the son of comedian Paul Rodriguez). And, though you wouldn't expect a skate park to facilitate some heart-to-hearts, Bryant and Rodriguez get pretty deep chatting about religion and family (and then, okay, skating and tattoos). There'll be new episodes of Across the Board each month and head over to Reserve to watch the channel's other newly-launched talk shows hosted by Pharrell Williams and Tom Colicchio.
