Whether you're an avid sports fan or could care less, the ESPYs are pretty entertaining. I know nothing about the rest of this year's nominees, but in the "Best Male Action Sport Athlete," skateboarding has two of the mainstream's darlings. If you're down for neither, you always have Kelly Slater to vote for (after all, he was on Baywatch; no offense James Stewart, but Leyba's
holding down that end of things). If you are a fan of Sheckdog or the Flying Tomato, you might be basing your vote on Sheckler'sSuperfuture part
or Shaun White'slip-trick-less big air vert runs. To vote, go here.
