ClevIndians Comeback! Climbing Magazine - Since 1970 Trick Cyclist Pedalling superhero Danny MacAskill is the star of a new show that highlights urban street sports. He shot to fame when a film of his jaw-dropping bike antics captured the public imagination. Then the Edinburgh man was able to give up his day job and spend all his time on his extraordinary talent. Now Channel 4 has starred Danny in Concrete Circus when filmmakers followed him around for a summer. Alongside Danny are skateboarder Kilian Martin, free runners Blue and Phil Doyle and BMX flatlander Keelan Phillips. He was filmed by Stu Thomson. "We looked hard for a location that would have a character in the film and make it very different from the others. “We were pretty tight on time making it, as I've had a busy year, but with Stu's filming skills and a great soundtrack I think we've managed to pull off a fun little film... spread it, if you like it!” You can see the original video that shot the Scot to internet stardom.
Grimper Adjusting Bike Shifter In this Skill Builder piece, guest contributor and mountain biker Chris Nodder (author of Bike Boo Boos) explains common problems with bike shifters and how to deal with them. – Gareth Before you mess with the derailleur, consider other potential sources of your poor shifting problem. If the rear shifter works properly when using the large chain ring but not the small chain ring, or vice versa, then the rear derailleur hanger might be bent.If the shifting skips when you apply pressure, check that your chain and cassette are not worn.If the shifting skips every third or fourth pedal revolution, check for a tight chain link.If the shifting skips when you go over a bump, and you are riding a full suspension bike, check that your cable housing is long enough. Having ruled out these sources of concern, follow this procedure to adjust your shifting: First check the derailleur’s range of motion. Usually the screws are labeled H and L, but if not, high is typically on top, low is on the bottom.

Badass of the Week 2 Dwight Johnson You don't really think of Vietnam as being a tank warfare kind of affair. Sure, there were plenty of intense, groin-crushing battles fought during the vicious multi-year slugfest through the jungles of Southeast Asia, but most of these showdowns were the ambush / search-and-destroy sort of events, with infantrymen slogging through armpit-deep mud, fighting off ambushes and human wave attacks in miserable driving rainstorms, and crawling through carefully-dug tunnels laden with booby traps. Perhaps that's why Specialist Dwight Johnson of the 1st Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment holds the impressive distinction of being the only tank driver to receive the Medal of Honor for actions in combat during Vietnam. Of course, as I indicated in my lead paragraph, the terrain in rural Vietnam isn't incredibly responsive when you go around trying to plow several thousand tons of metal through it – you'd have a better chance driving an APC through Candyland on a sunny summer afternoon.
Alex Chabot 15 Awesome Rock Climbs {*style:<b>In memory of Dan Osman [ VIDEO ] </b>*} has its perils but it can be endlessly thrilling at the same time as it takes you to the most awesome natural spots of the world.

One such extraordinary person to brave the towering elevations world over without taking any safety measures was the legendary sports practitioner . Known for his spine chilling “free-soloing” and “rope jumping” ventures, this Asian American daredevil set a record for a 1000 feet freefall. The name of this elevated region sums up to “suspended rock” and it holds only the second place of importance to the Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Kalambaka, Greece after Mount Athos. You must have seen this magnificent rocky peak in the opening scene of the movie where is shown climbing it. Photo by Timothy K. This is an amazing 244 m / ( 800 ft ) tall found in the Canyon de Chelly National Park of Arizona.
Bicycle Maintenance This page was last updated 24 May 2007. I often get asked about bicycle maintenance and repairs, and tips for how to ride efficiently. This little manual is intended as a summary of what I have learned over the years. I am not a professional mechanic. All of what I say here is the result of personal experience and opinion and may in places flatly contradict professional techniques, but it has served me well. I offer no guarantees that it will work for you.
