Burton Hail Snowboard Boot
By R1deKinK at 2006-05-25 12:38


 

Boots. Arguably the most important piece of equipment in snowboarding, and I’m reviewing one of the finest today.

Burton Hail. At first glance, this is a very good looking boot. Of course, looks aren’t everything, but still, this boot will get the heads turning. And coming in three distinctive colors (white, black, and brown) it can match different colors of outerwear as well. With a retail tag of $219, it might scare some people away, but it’s better to have nice boots, and not-quite-as-nice board, outerwear or bindings, than vise-versa. If your feet aren’t happy, YOU won’t be happy.

Now let’s take a look at all the features: The upper and lower parts of the boot move independently, thanks to the articulating cuff. This creates a much nicer flex than normal boots. Along with the pull-string and the laces, there is a sweet tightening strap at the top of the insole; it helps get the boot extra tight. Being mainly a park boot, there is also a heel air cushion to help protect your feet when you hit a huge kicker and land in the flats. There is also this gel pack thing on the back that creates a little cushion between your bindings and your leg (won’t work for lo-backs.). Little things like the lace hooks being double bolted are very nice; it’s incredibly annoying if those things break off. Another cool little feature is these little removable pads you can put between you out, and insole, that help prevent heel lift.

So I heard about this site that helps you find music you like. You simply put in an artist or song (or several) and it creates streaming music for you on the spot, for free

It sounded pretty cool, so I checked it out, and I give it an excellent review. Good sound quality, very easy to use and works very well.

Boycotting Ebaums World?
By Tom-E at 2006-01-22 02:50

Stealing content has never really worked well for websites, but now Ebaums world has become huge and sparked massive disgust in the internet. The makers of the funny content that gets stolen, and many other people are pretty upset. Learn the truth about the site:

Ebaums World Sucks is a site which outlines some truths about Ebaums world, and I think any visitor of that site should be aware. Eric Bauman, the site's creator is now a multi-millionaire from his undeserved success. With his money he has bought a $850,000 office building, $150,000 house and sponsored a professional boxer [Ebaums Wiki]
