I think it’s safe to say that any enthusiast of any outdoor sport isn’t content with remaining in one location forever. Whether you bike, backpack, canoe, etc etc… there’s always someplace new to explore. The problems, generally speaking, are logistically getting “there,” and finding the time to do so. Many of us (myself included) live [...]
Clever. Tarp Surfing. I guess if you can’t get to the waves of the ocean, you create your own… even in a parking lot? I gotta hand it to these guys, though I haven’t decided whether they’re geniuses or idiots. Regardless, this is creative and relatively inexpensive. (screen capture)
I stumbled on a pretty sick kayaking video on Vimeo yesterday. It’s about a handful of guys who are unquestionably passionate about their recreation. What struck me, aside from the talent these guys have (and the mullets), is that they are so invested in an activity that they love that they felt compelled to create [...]
One of the adventure sports that is available for people who have limited physical abilities is downhill mountain biking. This is a gravity sport, which, as the name suggests, relies on the forces of gravity. Simple, right? You start at the top of a mountain and ride down… that’s the gist. I’ll get into details [...]
The three sectors of business are private (for-profit), nonprofit, and public. Each is structured differently and thus exhibits different forms of ownership. This blog has a slant towards leisure service delivery systems, or organizations delivering various forms of recreation, but this information can be applied in a number of different areas. There is no right [...]
My wife and I took a road trip to Chicago for a wedding this past weekend. Good times were had by all, as it was a mini-reunion of sorts. I posted a bunch of photos via Posterous, which consequently hit a couple major social networks. A few photos revealed that I had let my facial [...]
My life feels cluttered. Not just with possessions, but things I want to do, projects I’m involved in, grad school & research, etc. Maybe it’s where I am right now, but it’s taking me a while to narrow my focus. Granted, it could just be a feeling… looking back a few years I’ve already made [...]
The number of people you need to ask for permission keeps going down: 1. Go, make something happen. 2. Do work you’re proud of. 3. Treat people with respect. 4. Make big promises and keep them. 5. Ship it out the door. When in doubt, see #1. …via Seth Godin’s blog. I like this. It’s [...]
…just sayin’ :) Crested Butte here we come! (photo stolen from ASC’s Facebook page)
We in America live fairly quiet, quaint lives. We’re born, go to school, find a job (hopefully), get married (maybe), buy a house (perhaps), raise children, retire, and die. That’s it in a nutshell, right? There are plenty of diversions along the way: hobbies, entertainment, and other trivial pursuits. Is that it?
As you may notice, a big redesign is underway. Stay tuned!
