Todd Grossman : Rollerblading, Stunts, Videos
^ Sportlife Gum Commercial with Todd Grossman (1999) Video Download availiable below
Todd Grossman has been in-line skating and skateboarding since he was 10 years old and is an accomplished action sports athlete. He’s even a former X Games competitor, having retired from competition in 1998. But now he’s back on skates and back at X Games IX-only this time, as a cameraman. Make that a FollowCameraman, a cameraman unlike any the X Games has ever had before.
You see, Grossman also studied film at USC and is an experienced videographer. Based in Hollywood, he recently directed the making-of feature for (what else?) the XXX DVD. He’s shot on skates before for other projects and recently did some work for Fox Sports. It was that work that caught the attention of the X Games producers. The X Games twist (and there’s always an X Games twist) is that Grossman’s FollowCam is a live feed-something he’s never done before.

don’t know what to think about that followcam shit, drop rollerbladers from Xgames, yet get them to be the gay camera guys, similar to the gay skiers you see follow caming the snowboarders in halfpipe? Seems pretty retarded, and I think almost makes our sport look dumber for outsiders eyes.
