1. Liberty Helix
Anyone who has had a chance to rip on these pow-shredding monsters knows there is no going back to other skis: the Liberty Helix is like no other. It’s lightweight and poppy, yet has a killer backbone to take on whatever the mountain throws its way. Although… Read the rest

Under the Stars

This video was created as part of YouTube user TheManimation‘s third year dissertation looking at early forms of animation in contemporary design. What’s been created here is really cool if you think about it. If you were to watch the wheels of this bicycle with the naked eye, all you… Read the rest

This indie rock band from So-Cal has been described as rustic, rousing, boisterous, twangy, bluesy and unconventional. Beyond the typical guitar, bass and vocals, Delta Spirit incorporates large bass drums, various orchestral instruments and the occasional trash can lid to create a rocking experimental sound.

Check out this video from the 2011 Cross Crusade in Hillsboro, Ore. It’s a pretty neat glimpse at what a cyclocross race looks like from a point-of-view we don’t really get to see: the back of a racer’s bicycle.… Read the rest
