LOS ANGELES — Director Rob Rotten and adult star Jamie Elle are the subjects of a new skateboard line from Swollen Skateboards. Rotten, dressed like gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, poses on the pro-quality deck, which are available now at skate shops across the country.

The owner of Baltimore, Md.-based Swollen Skateboards Spencer W approached Rotten with the idea for the deck in an effort to capture a bit of his lifestyle after watching his movies, Rotten told XBIZ. A skater from California’s Bay Area, Rotten readily agreed.

“When I was asked to do this board my immediate reaction was ‘fuck yeah man, this is rad,’” Rotten told XBIZ. “I was stoked about the whole thing. The board looks amazing and is really high-quality.”

Rotten’s deck has attracted the attention of the mainstream skateboarding culture. Influential skate magazine Transworld is featuring Rotten and adult star Roxy DeVille posing with the board in a pictorial for an upcoming issue.

“It’s really an honor to be featured in a magazine like Transworld that’s so respected within the skater community,” Rotten said. “I think people are going to dig the boards even if they don’t know who I am, the art is that cool.”

No, I Won't Be Your Fluffer

It may sound funny to suggest that a pornographer has moral boundaries, but I do have certain lines that I won't cross. But the day came when I'd reached one of those lines — one I really didn't want... More »
