SPORT/ART

Tuesday, November 22, 2011

Russian photographer Valery Katsuba began exploring the aesthetics of acrobatics and gymnastics in a series entitled Phiscultura.

LIGHTNING VEST

The Lightning Vest is one cool (and practical too) bike accessory that I’ve recently come across. It’s a hand-netted, highly visible safety vest made from a custom developed 3M reflective material. I want one!

FOOTBALL FEVER

Saturday, May 21, 2011

SKATE ESCALATION

Thursday, November 4, 2010
