Amazing footage from the world indoor skydiving championship 2008. Take a minute and a half and watch this.
This is one of things that can be put in the catagory of “The most fun you can have with your clothes on” in a minute and a half at that!
Another Fatal Hunting Accident
Every year we hear the sad stories of a hunting mishap, usually they are fatal mishaps, much like the one that I just heard on the radio yesterday. The story was about a father, some where in the southern part of Virginia, that took his two sons, ages 7 & 10, out hunting. The 7 year old shot a dear with his pellet gun and then proceeded to run towards the dear, mean while the 10 year old shot his shot gun at the dear and the younger brother was hit by the bullet and was killed. What a sad story, I can’t imagine what that family is now going through. There is no good time for something like this to happen, but right during the holiday season must be the worst time ever.
Los Angeles Kings
Post contributed by Josue Durham
The Los Angeles Kings have returned to their regal origins with a great start to the season, all of this without the talented defenseman Drew Doughty, and I can only assume that once Doughty returns the wins will continue in perpetuity. Okay, maybe not in perpetuity, but this team will be very impressive for a long time, as they are excellent in all facets of the game, and their defensive prowess will only further improve with the addition.
Doughty hopes to return Thursday, but regardless of whether he does or not the Kings have shown they can win without him. This team is a juggernaut, a majestic team which I have pledged my undying fealty. Last night we booed Kovalchuk relentlessly as our stifling defense held him to only two shots on goal. We made the former King realize that joining up with Satan’s army was a mistake, as the mighty monarchs taught him who wears the crown. It is no secret why we continue to be perfect at home, as home is the palace where the king feels most comfortable. I suspect we will win like 80% of our home games this season, that is how talented and impressive this team is. Since I moved far way from Southern California, I like rooting for the Kings via NHL Center Ice available through Direct TV satellite.
Gift Cards
Gift Cards and Gift Certificates have become a very popular gift giving item. Too many times have we all purchased a gift for some one only to find out that they all ready have one, or don’t need or want one and it turns out to be a waste of time and money for everyone all the way around. With Christmas coming about in short order I have been spending some time online looking for gift ideas for the folks that I need to buy holiday gifts for and I’ve decided that I will purchase gift cards for many of these folks that are on my Christmas gift giving list.
I have found a site at globalsportsstore.com that have some great products that I’m sure several of my friends and family members would enjoy. They have tons of outdoor and sports related products, like Air Rifles and Guns, along with the ever popular GPS systems that just about everyone owns or would like to for the majority of their vehicles. GPS has become very specialized and the prices are coming down just a bit each and every year. So I’m going to go ahead and order several gift cards from this site and get a few names checked off of my list nice and early like.
If you want to see a cool online sports store give globalsportsstore.com a look see and see if you get any gift giving ideas for your holiday gift giving options.
Wow Game Cards
My teen aged nephew is really into play games online. His favorite right now is World Warcraft. This game is so popular that they state that over 11 million people are now subscribers to this popular game and turn to Buymmoaccounts.com for all their gaming and their wow game card needs.
Last time I visited with them he showed me this ever growing game, it is a pretty cool concept, with non stop action and excitement. He is pretty good at it and it keeps him off the streets, so it’s all good for $29.99 a month.
Today’s Skate Boarding
Oh to be young and agile again. I am in pretty good shape for my age, what with all the hard labor that the farm demands from me each day, I do fairly well for my age, but I’m no spring chicken anymore to be sure.
Skateboarding has become such a popular sport these days, it takes a whole different breed from back in my day. The tricks and stunts that these young whipper snappers can do on these skateboards are simply amazing and I have to give them credit for their guts and their talent.
Skateboards are much more complicated and diverse then the ones that I grew up on. I was looking at the new Bacon skateboards online at warehouseskateboards.com and I’m impressed with how much they have advanced through the years with today’s technology. Makes me wish I was young once again and able to participate in this exciting sport that is all the rage these days.
The Scorpion King
One of the better Action/Adventure movies The Scorpion King was on the SCFI Channel earlier and I really enjoyed watching, once again this 2002 Fantasy movie starring The Rock. Rock made a great transition from the World of Wrestling into Hollywood and I have found all of the movies that he has been of good quality and good taste, much more than what was produced during his Professional Wrestling days, I can give him that.
Snowmobiling is a Blast!
We have gotten the first half way decent snow fall of the year, although it only amounted to a couple of inches and then turned to ice as soon as the sun went down. It would be nice to get a real good blanket of six inches or more, that would make the idea of dragging out the snowmobile and go for a nice long ride, we certainly have enough land to make a good time of some snowmobiling for several hours.
SLEDtv.org has some great snowmobiling videos that are always interesting to watch and learn from, their well established forum is always full of good stories and information about this sport that just isn’t get much attention, with our lack of a good snow fall so far this year. We still have over a month to go before spring comes back around and the farm will be getting way to busy to even think of taking a ride.
Looks Like it is The Steelers and The Cardinals
The Ravens just couldn’t seem to keep the Steeler’s down and it looks like it will now be The Cardinals and The Steelers come The Superbowl. I’m not a betting man, but if I had to place a bet it would be on The Steelers, they play a hard game well.
NFL Picks Online
One of the better quality sites that I frequent, Comcast.net has the current NFL football schedule, along with numerous other news worthy articles and links that I find useful, interesting and entertaining. Having the Internet makes the watching of television less necessary in an effort to find out what is going on in the world, outside of your little local area and their local news stations. A good portion of TV these days are being dedicated to news in one way or another. We can’t seem to get enough of it and more people want to be informed instantaneously and from a reliable source.
I find most of my information while online, everywhere you turn there are numerous ways to view news stories from around the world at the click of a few buttons. You get what you want, when you want it, easy as that.
Comcast.net offers a good variety of current stories, their sports section gets most of my attention as of late with the Super Bowl right around the corner and the play off games being as exciting and action packed as they have been this year. They have good videos, the scores and and the latest picks, I have the Steelers picked for this year’s winner, but only time will tell, in the mean time I’ll keep up to date online.
