Soccerpro.com “No Charge for Awesomeness”

Clay — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:23:46 +0000

As some of you might already know soccer is a slightly popular sport in our house. As a dad it has been a blast to watch our older girl (7) play and compete, and is just as exciting to watch our 4 year old get more and more excited to play, but there has been one thing that was missing. For as long as I have enjoyed watching soccer (both pro and my girls) I have honestly not played that much. Not to say that I have not wanted to play, I just never took the time to find a team or put one together. Well it was time to change this, so Kristen and I joined our first indoor rec league. Doing this put me in a position that I tend to enjoy. I needed to learn about the different gear and what was worth while. Where to spend money (shoes) and where to save (shin guards). Between this and looking for a 2010 US World Cup jersey I came across a promotion on Facebook from SoccerPro.com entitled “Jerseys For Life”. After signing up and reading over the terms of the contest I had a pretty good feeling about the people at SoccerPro.com.

Probably the best way to explain them is in there own words on there Facebook company overview.

We love soccer. We love talking about soccer, playing soccer, watching soccer, thinking about soccer, playing soccer video games, playing fantasy soccer, playing with soccer puppets, dressing up like soccer stars, and even writing in our soccer diaries about soccer. We want to share this love with you.

Well I have to admit they truely mean what they say. They have answered questions for me about everything. From what shoes I should get, to what is a good sock for my girls that stays up and is not huge. All the employees I have worked with go out of there way to help out.

Another thing to point out is that they are always having some kind of contest or at least some way to get a bit of a deal. Just last week I won a 2010 Brasil Home World Cup jersey. I will get a pic of it up as soon as it shows up. Mostly I just wanted to get up a little note and let everyone know about a great company that has helped me out and I will be supporting. You will also notice that I have put an ad up for them on this page. Please note that this is not a paid ad, I just really like these guys and want to help them grow. Oh and as they state on there site and many other places that they have a strong policy that that there is “No Charge for Awesomeness.” This is found out when I got my Brazil World Cup jersey. They put candy in with every shipment. Sorry but there is not much more awesome than that.

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.

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
