FAST Snowboarding – I'll take slow first please. The mission of the First Alpine Snowboard Team is to guide alpine snowboard athletes in achieving their maximum potential in training and competition, and to further identify and develop World and Olympic Champions of the future. Where were these guys when I was trying to learn to snowboard? Beginning with a core belief in each athletes ab...

So this looks really cool: Loki makes shape-changing winter gear. Take the Loki Mitt: it's a mitt incorporated into the sleeve of a jacket. You can wear the jacket as a regular jacket, slip your hand into the integrated mitt and share your body's warmth with your hand, and even wear the mitt part with your fingers sticking out so you can do tasks that require dexterity. Or take the Loki Hat...

Winter stuff sure has changed since the last time I bought a coat. I needed a new one this season and I was surprised to find that all the fluffy down-filled puffy coats had been replaced with all sorts of high-tech fabrics that were super-thin but supposedly keep you warm down to 50 below or something. And the puffy coats that were left were, like, expensive. Looks like Sierra Designs ...

Remember our post about stand-up paddle skateboarding? I do because I wrote it.

You can tell they're rebels by the design of their custom sticker. Stand-up paddle surfing involves a surfboard (or sometimes a specialized paddle ...

I Run Colorado. No, it's not a rapper's boast. Although there's probably some guy in Boulder with a gold chain around his neck spittin' very sincerely "Yo man I run this town!" but that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about running, the two-legged sport. I personally hate running but the people who love it LOVE IT and I can't argue with that. I Run Colorado is, pretty obvi...

Cornhole! Cornhole cornhole cornhole! It's a popular sport here in the summer in Chicago, often coupled with beer and also known as 'bags' or 'baggo' or the boring 'bean-bag toss'. You toss these little corn-kernel-filled bags at a tilted board from a ways away and try to get them in the hole. Thus corn, and hole. Well, StickerGiant has cornhole stickers for you so you can personalize your ...

Terrapin Adventures offers all sorts of outdoor fun. They're a company based in Savage, MD, thirty minutes from Washington D.C., Baltimore and Annapolis that offers "adventures" like a zipline ride through the forest canopy or a giant, three-person swing that's winched back and then released, using only gravity to create 2 G's of force (then you swing back and forth for like three minutes -...

LG Sciences advertises "Hardcore Supplements Backed By Science." (Just for the record, Zhan Xugang does not endorse LG Sciences. We just thought it was a nice illustration of how strong everybody wants to be.) They offer a complete range of bodybuilding and strength-training supplements, in categories like mass-building supplements, bodybuilding stacks, testosterone boosters, fat burners an...
