Shaun White will get his Signature Adio shoes soon. He joins Tony Hawk, Kenny Anderson, Danny Montoya, and that waste of flesh Bam Margera (whose Wikipeida page has been locked due to vandalism). Anyway, the new v.1 Shaun White Adio shoes come with the exact same features as every other Adio shoe sold—they just have his name on them.

The Porporta Solar-Powered Bluetooth GPS Receiver upgrades your PDA or Smartphone with GPS. In spite of having solar capabilities, it won’t be much use for camping unless you want to use it to find the nearest Taco Bell after a hike since your phone still runs on batteries.

The German guy smiling in this photo is riding a Scorpion HP Velotechnik Trike. This ergo trike is made for touring, but most people will ride it in the city which will doubtlessly lead to a few run-over-by-SUV deaths since they ride so low to the ground. Maybe stick a couple of those orange flags on your Scorpion before riding to the liquor store at halftime.
Bob Fuller founded Roadside Memorials when drivers in Chicago were killing cyclists, runners, and general pedestrians daily. Drive with Care will even send you free business cards about safe driving habits that you can hand out on your city’s street corners for other people to throw away. Their TV commercial is priceless.

Very weird, very effective.
A new mobile phone might help keep mosquitoes away, but its maddening high pitched ringing is far worse than drowning in DEET. Make sure you don’t have your volume cranked for the video.

Those mosquito repellents do not work at all. We tested one (not the phone, a different audio repellent) out in our yard, and mosquitos were landing on it. It’s just a dumb gimmick.
Cross country skiers in Norway might be as famous as pro football players in the US, but it’s a safe bet that not many of the skiers can afford to drive Escalades. FasterSkier.com published a list of skiers’ salaries and bank accounts from last season and more than a few could be cashing in welfare checks. Apparently some skiers can bank their cash and avoid taxes until retirement, so don’t feel too bad for Astrid Jacobsen’s $3 or Petter Northug’s $361 last year.

You’ll have to make a few frames before you start saving money with the Anvil Bikes Journeyman Frame Fixture, but you should go through them pretty quickly since you have no idea how to build one that’s structurally sound. This frame building jig will set you back $3500—it’s about half the price of their professionally Super Master Frame Fixture. Check out how it works on Anvil Bikes’ video.

Smith Optics is a little late to be taking a chance with their new Domino sunglasses. They look like a cross between Spy’s Tron and old Sonix with their single lenses and 80’s cutting-edge-technology wraparound style. The Domino sunglasses also feature a scripted Smith logo unique to these frames.

“A little late” in that this look is ooooooold. Sometimes old is just old, not sick. :)

a little late? what the hell does that mean. these glasses are sick. did i miss the memo that companies had to stop making progressive looking gear. companies like smith are taking fashion ideas from companies like prada and gucci . But instead of charging $400 they sell them for a good price and the glasses have actual features. i dont see this as taking a chance.
Ortlieb’s Messenger Bag Pro is not only waterproof, but it has a transparent sleeve on the back for ads. Since most of the people who end up buying this thing won’t use it to deliver packages downtown, they’ll be able to use it to place a personal ad in one last desperate attempt to pickup some sexy singles.
The Arctic Challenge will be the Oakley Arctic Challenge when it’s held in Oslo, Norway this year. The event is divided into two sections: the first is a snowboard comp, and the second is an invite-only free ride and surfing trip to northern Norway. Bundle up. If anyone goes AWOL, Oakley can always call in their other sponsored athlete Dog the Bounty Hunter to go after them.

The Section Division Jacket has everything you want in a coat, and your friends will be able to spot you from a mile away on the hill, too. Section gave this insulated jacket mesh-lined pitzips that stay open when you unzip them so you can cool down in a hurry while hiking—try that with four layers on and you’ll still be stewing in sweat when you get to the top. It even has thumb loops to keep snow out when making snowmen, and the pow skirt tucks away so you don’t leave it in the back of your friend’s Hyundai.
Unless you’re spending a boatload on powdered wax that you measure by the gram, you may as well get something with some style. Bluebird has an all-temp Travis Rice Pro Wax and an all-temp Marc Frank Pro Wax that’s formulated for park riding (somehow). Plus all the money Bluebird brings in goes to support their team and generally indulgent lifestyles—so it feels good to be a part of that.
