My son and his cousin love their Strider Bikes. And my dad is teaching them to race. Strider Bikes The Strider Bike is an awesome product. It’s the only toddler running bike that I’ve seen that is adjustable for 1 year olds and 3 year olds. I wrote a review of Strider’s pedal-less kick bikes [...]

Ski Dads
I know I posted yesterday about it almost being spring, but I’ve changed my mind. It’s ALMOST winter (in Tahoe at least). My friend Lars posted this great Go Pro video yesterday from a ski day at Squaw Valley with his daughter. Lars is a snowboarder, but at least he knows what’s good for his [...]

Wake-boarding in a Cranberry Bog
One of the cool things about RedBull is that they say, “yeah, that would be cool.” And they do it. Cranberries grow in bogs, what’s a bog? Bogs are one of North America’s most distinctive types of wetlands. They’re strange ecosystems characterized by thick sphagnum moss, acidic waters, peat deposits and a spongy, mat-like substance on the water’s [...]

Ken Block in San Francisco
My son is 2 years old and is already obsessed with driving. He’s also been to San Francisco. So it stands to reason that somewhere in his brand when he’s zooming his little red Mustang around the floor, he’s dreaming of something like this. Ken Block is a professional rally car driver and stunt driver [...]

Stunt Science: The Physics of Loop The Loop
When I was a kid one of my favorite toys was my HotWheels race track. I had the Criss-Cross-Crash which sent cars around a figure eight track and crashing into each other where the tracks crossed. Later they came out with the Double Dare Loop. It had the same basic concept, but instead of a [...]

Arches Rope Swing
This says it’s the world’s largest rope swing and i don’t necessarily believe that. It is however pretty awesome. This is obviously somewhere near Arches National Park near Moab Utah, though I don’t know which arch this is. -Mike Via @extremepods
