LOS ANGELES, CA - FUEL TV, the only network dedicated to lifestyle of action sports, launches three returning series on Sunday April 1, beginning at 8:00pm ET/PT. Leading off Stacked Sundays is Mike Vallely’s skateboarding journey “Drive” presented by Jeep. Next up is the freestyle motocross mayhem of “M80,” continued by the only BMX series on television, “Props.” Beginning May 20, the always irreverent skateboarding variety show “The Captain & Casey Show” and surf adventure series “Drive Thru: Caribbean” return to the schedule with all new episodes.
 
Kicking off the new Stacked Sundays lineup, airing at 8:00pm ET/PT, “Drive” presented by Jeep, stars the legendary skateboarder Mike Vallely as he travels the world exploring the people, places, and issues defining skateboarding and youth culture today. The series blends action with information, delivering an impactful and insightful look at the sport of skateboarding. This season “Drive” was shot on location throughout North America, Israel, and the Cayman Islands. A bonus eighth episode is scheduled for FUEL TV’s Friday night Skate @ 8 skateboarding block later this spring. “Drive” is produced by Build Worldwide and is directed by Mark Jeremias.
 
Following at 8:30pm ET/PT, “M80” returns for another trail-blazing season. It’s a wild ride into the fast-paced and often times unruly world of freestyle motocross (FMX). “M80” explodes with the biggest names in FMX, the latest tricks, the sexy “Token Hotties,” and more of the shenanigans that have made this original series a favorite with FUEL TV viewers. “M80” is produced by Long Gut Productions and will feature the top FMX pros like the legendary Mike Metzger, Jeremy Lusk, Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Todd Potter, and Nate Adams.
 
BMX series “Props” returns at 9:00pm ET/PT. Based on the highly successful video magazine series of the same name, this season “Props” includes an interview with the legendary Mat Hoffman, coverage of contests, and highlights from the various road trips. Hosted by Zachary “Catfish” Yankush and Steve Crandall, some of the biggest names in BMX like Morgan Wade, Ryan Nyquist, Dave Mirra, Josh Harrington, and Gary Young make special appearances this season. “Props” is produced by Props Visual.
 
Mid-season launches begin May 20 at 8:00pm ET/PT with “The Captain & Casey Show.” This six-episode series follows the world’s worst hosts – “The Captain” Jeff Carlson and Chris Casey – through a new season of everyone’s favorite bare-bones skateboard show with new footage, new segments, and never-before-seen interviews with top-name pros like Rob Dyrdek, Daewon Song, Colin McKay, Jeron Wilson, and Ronnie Creager. At 8:30pm ET/PT is Greg Browning’s fourth installment of the surf adventure series "Drive Thru." “Drive Thru: Caribbean” follows pro surfers Donavon Frankenreiter, Benji Weatherley, Kalani Robb, Pat O’Connell, and Australian Yadin Nicol in a search of perfect waves across the islands of the Caribbean.  Highlights include visiting Jamaica, riding dolphins, petting sharks, Kalani’s surfboard packing, Benji’s injuries, Donavon’s mustache, and the great waves they find.
