A Jet Pack for Skiing?

Came across this little gem today at GrindTV.com. Troy Hartman from Mammoth Lakes, CA has come up with a whole new way to ski, by strapping a jet pack onto his back.

According to the post on GrindTV.com, Hartman has been clocked at upwards of 47 miles an hour… uphill.

Although it we admit it looks pretty fun, we can honestly say we won’t have personal skiing jet packs for sale here at The House, at least not in the near future. To read more about this crazy invention follow the link here.

Gear Review: Electric EG2 Goggles

SethEG2web

I ended up trying on the Electric EG2 goggles because they happened to be sitting in Paul’s office (The House photographer and fellow blogger) I had been looking for goggles for some time and I eventually came to the conclusion I wanted Electric goggles, but I wasn’t for sure which ones until I put these babies on.

Lindsey Vonn: If it wasn't provocative before it is now

Just a few days ago Lindsey Vonn was on the cover of Sports Illustrated in her ski suit and some people said that was “suggestive”. (see post below) Well, if you disagreed with that before, you have nothing to disagree with this time. Lindsey did a shoot for the Sports Illustrated Swim Suit issue. Hanna Teter also makes quite an appearance in this issue.

Lindsey Vonn on the Cover of Sports Illustrated… It's Provocative?

provocative

I was checking my email on Yahoo when I ran across this story about the ever talented Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn. (Article) It appears she made the cover of Sports Illustrated, which only 4% of the covers have featured women over 60 years. This would be an amazing achievement for Lindsey but WomenTalkSports.com is suggesting that she is in a “sexualized pose”. Now, I don’t know about you guys, but to me that just seems like a regular old skiers tuck, nothing sexual or suggestive about it. Rather, it does seem to me that WomenTalkSports.com is maybe a little biased against Sports Illustrated. I’m not taking sides with either Sports Illustrated or against WomenTalkSports.com ( I’m all about supporting women’s athletics),  I’m just saying there is absolutely nothing wrong with that cover shot and everybody should stop steeling Lindsey’s thunder.

Sick stuff, Great People!

This is not a joke, but it should be: Frozen, the Movie

Frozen

This is seriously a movie. I had to look a little further into it just to make sure it wasn’t some kind of joke. I can’t even handle it, I’m crackin up! I think it’s supposed to be one of those “It’s so dumb it’s funny” kinda things like Snakes on a Plane. I don’t know man, this one you’ll have to see for yourself.
