Massis K2 skis

Clay — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 03:45:29 +0000

Now I am a big fan of the fat ski trend but I think this takes it a bit to far. At 16 feet tall the glass skies were designed and made by Joel Berman Studios for K2 in celebration of the Olympics.

And here is a link to one of most fun pairs of skis I have even been on. The K2 HellBents.

Every year I regret n0t going to the NAHBS show. Well maybe next year. Luckly Urban Velo has some amazing coverage of the show. Here are a bunch of links of most of there coverage. (Video also via Urban Velo)

There is also a bunch moe coverage on there site I strongely suggest talking a look at.

As far a my pick of the show (at least of whatI have seen) I have to go with the following.

Chaco PRO series

Clay — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:30:14 +0000

This is a release that I am pretty excited about. Chaco is coming out with a Pro series of there sandals. Now for most people you will already know that Chacos are bomber. That is unless you guide on a river or do something else were you are in them every single day. It is not that any of the sandals are bad, or poorly built, it is simply the amount of use they get. No sandal is designed to hold up to day in, day out abuse like that. To get one or two summers out of a pair is pretty good. Having a pair that lasted me three summers was very impressive.

Well now with the introduction of the PRO series this might all change. I am looking forward to getting my hands on a pair to try out and see how they hold up.

*EDIT* Forgot to put what models are coming out. There will be the Z/1, Z/2, Hipthong, and the Flip.

Here is the list of key features from the press release.

-          A new Vibram Idrogrip outsole for durability, extra wear-resistance and performance on the trail

-          Water-evacuation channels that run heel-toe and move water away from the lug surfaces to maximize contact between rubber and ground during use in and around water

-          Channels that run across the width of the foot that both evacuate water and aid walking motion by forcing the entire outsole/midsole to break and articulate during the walking motion

-          Enhanced lateral heel lug for wear resistance at heel-strike and toe-off during walking motion

My favorite part of the climb….

Actually when doing something like this I am thinking about two things. First is how I can’t wait to get past this section, and second I hope there’s another way down. If there is why didn’t I take that way up in the first place?

From what I can find is Eiger final arret. Correct me if I am wrong.

HOOKUM – Hook and Ring game

Clay — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 20:58:26 +0000

I have to admit this looks like a ton of fun. HOOKUM looks like one of thoose games that is simple to play, hard to master, yet still a ton of fun. I can’t wait to bring this out at one of the Cascade Raft and Kayak guide parties and see what happens. Check out the video below get get an idea of how it works. Basically catch the ring on the hook more / faster than everyone else (who then drink?).

Definitely worth taking a look at, and I suggest picking up.

Check it out here.
