Asta e un articol care l-am gasit pe motoflash.ro si se refera la cea mai mare retea sociala de motociclisti din spania care acum a lansat si o versiune internationala. In continuare bucurati-va de articolul “oficial” !!

S-a lansat versiunea internationala a website-ului Moterus, cea mai mare retea sociala online pentru motociclisti din Spania.

Moterus se adreseaza tuturor pasionatilor de 2 roti din lume. Prin intermediul site-ului, membrii pot socializa cu alti motociclisti din toata lumea, ce pot fi selectati si dupa modelul de motocicleta, si pot afla informatii despre tot felul de evenimente moto viitoare. Site-ul este bine conceput si organizat si mai include un forum de discutii dar si o sectiune dedicata traseelor.

Shaun White sequence

De cate ori ma uit la baiatul asta cum se invarte prin aer si aterizeaza mai toate sariturile pe care le face, ma intreb cum dumnezeu reuseste. Pe langa intrebari dinastea existentiale nu reuseam sa urmaresc cum o face … am gasit mai jos o secventa dintr-o saritura … pentru connoisseuri :)

forum

Make any purchase at the ISO50 Shop between now and January 31st, 2009 to be entered to win this ISO50-designed Forum Devun Walsh R.O.O.S.T. 161 snowboard (click for large picture). This pro-model upgrade version of the R.O.O.S.T. is brand new with the stickers on it and comes in a protective carrying case. These boards are sold out so this is one of the few remaining unused examples. If you win you’ll have the choice of having it signed or unsigned.

Girls: If you win and would prefer to trade this board for a Women’s size I have a couple Ride ISO50 Solace decks to choose from.

Rules:

– Ends January 31, 2009. Drawing held within a week of end date.
– Must enter valid email address when ordering. This address will be
used to contact the winner.
– Winning email will be picked at random.
– International contest, everyone is eligible.

Board Info (click to view sticker)
Brand – Forum
Model – Roost
Size – 161 – Devun Walsh (can be traded for Women’s size board)
Core – Badass Directional
Shape – Directional
Core Profile – Directional
Laminates – Light Tri-ax
Base – Sintered 7200

Description: “Resurrection of Old School Technology”. The shape of the Roost works for the WHOLE mountain. Nose is a little bit longer than the tail. The tip is a little bit wider than the tail, which makes it easier to turn plus it gives more “float”. The tip is mellow, so the board floats rather than plows through the soft stuff. Lots of sidecuts, make it easier to maneuver.

riderstreppe_news

The riders list of this 6star Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour event is led by the third of the last event and third of the Swatch TTR World Ranking List 2007/2008 Peetu Piiroinen (FIN/20) and the last years fourth Antti Autti (FIN/23). The fourth of the Swatch TTR World Ranking List 2007/2008 Risto Mattila (FIN/27), Kim Rune Hansen (NOR/20) and ?old master? Terje Haakonsen (NOR/34) bring more Scandinavian power to Tyrol, too.

The youngsters Arthur Longo (FRA/20), Colin Frei (SUI/20) and the daredevil Manuel Pietropoli (ITA/18), who has the heart after his unfortunate bail last year will be attending from the Alps. The Zillertal locals Werner Stock (AUT/21) and Peter König (AUT/20) enjoy their home field advantage. The German flag is represented by Christophe Schmidt (GER/25) from Schliersee, eighth at the Olympic Halfpipe 2006.

The head from overseas is the Swatch TTR World Tour fifth Andy Finch (USA/27). For sure he will as always stick with his motto ?Go big or go home?. We can also look forward to the 16 years old new blood hope Seb Toutant (CAN/16). The quarter pipe specialists Steve Fisher (USA/26), Shayne Pospisil (USA/23) and Chad Otterstrom (USA/32) are coming to the Bergisel, too. In total there will be 24 riders to compete.
