12/14/11 Fasc is an underground Euro-ski brand. It advertises custom artist designs or clothing articles that may seem outlandish, but are really the hyphy styles rocked by all the up-and-coming skiiers we see today. Their unique artistry and bold color schemes make for very intriguing articles of clothing. While their wares may be pricey, the durability and visual appeal of these hats, jackets, shirts and other accessories far outweigh the cost. The ski team that Fasc sponsors is extremely skilled in terrain park maneuvers. I would highly recommend visiting this underground site.
12/7/11 LEDkid is a little known "light-gloving" website that has much lower prices than the attempted monopolies such as "Emazinglights" which attempt to viciously dominate the gloving industry. This site stays true to the essential concept of gloving, love for the art, and self-reliance. Demonstrated through the fact that you must build your own lights from scratch, based on the components you order. While this takes veteran skill and knowledge, its exemplifies the independence and skill true gloving takes. This also drastically lowers the cost of products, often as much as twenty to forty dollars.

11/14/11USSSA is a multi-sport organization dedicated to engaging the nation's youth in competitive, high level physical activity. In my specific case, baseball. Their site provides tournament brackets for regularly scheduled tournaments across the states, as well as providing a vast database of both individual and team statistics. Each player and team is tracked with unmatched precision and can be scouted professionally based on reports from the site.
11/2/11Soundcloud is an entirely free site dedicated to the sharing of music through an network of artists. Artists can upload their song, of any genre, and it can be listened to, downloaded, rated and commented on by viewers, often other music producers. The site plays music in playlists so as one song ends, it automatically starts the next. A fabulous resources for millions of free tunes you have probably never heard before.

10/31/11RAGE is a visually stunning new game from Bethesda Software that takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland in which the player has woken up from a long cryogenic sleep. They find themselves immediately set upon by flesh-hungry mutants as soon as they leave their "Arc." Befriended by local rebels opposing an unknown militant force, the player can perform multiple action-packed missions as they fight their mysterious enemy and attempt to gain support and money. In addition to the storyline, the game features an open world, meaning the player can do things outside of quests, such as high speed races across the wastes in sand buggies. All in all the story of the game and the graphics make it within the top three games I have ever played. As a word of caution, it does contain certain "mature" themes, namely violence and frightening enemies.
10/24/11Arbor Snowboards are high quality boards designed specifically for boarders who want to go big in the park. While the prices may seem slightly shocking, the design and components of each board makes it ideal for terrain park manuevers.
