</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A little history about Five Ten...</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">A family-owned company, founded by Charles Cole in 1985. Five Ten is dedicated to making top-rated outdoor sports footwear. Cole had finished his MBA from the University of Michigan and was hanging out in Yosemite putting up spectacular first ascent aid routes—many times solo. After a slip while descending El Cap, Cole decided that climbers not only needed high-friction rubber on their climbing shoes, but also on their walking shoes. <br />
<br />
With the support of his parents, Mary and Charles Sr., he began distributing his new line of approach and climbing shoes with the new Stealth rubber soles, thus making Climbing that much easier. Since the soles actually stuck better to the rock surfaces, climbers could ascent routes that had previously been unattainable. Charles Cole, Five Ten and Stealth rubber helped to open climbing to a new generation of athletes. <br />
<br />
Now the Redlands, California based company makes shoes with Stealth rubber for a variety of outdoor sports. Five Ten climbing shoes are depended upon by the world’s top climbers, even climbers who are paid to wear shoes by other companies resole with Stealth. Stealth Rubber resole kits make up 99.9 percent of resole sales world wide. Five Ten multi-sport shoes are now favorite footwear of downhill mountain bikers, BMX riders, paddlers, hikers, trail runners and climbers. From elite world class athletes to every day outdoor enthusiasts, people understand Five Ten is the most authentic footwear brand available. As Cole found out on El Cap and athletes find out everyday, friction does make a difference. Add that to the unique comfort, durability and technological advances of Five Ten, and you have the best footwear in the world. </span></span></span></span></span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

661 has finally released their Recon XC helmet and it has been a HUGE success. With huge vents throughout the helmet and added coverage to the back of your head, this helmet gives you a comfortable and cool ride while providing extra protection. It comes in two sizes(SM/MD or LG/XL), and have a rear adjustable strap they will be sure to give you the fit you are looking for. They have been really popular with us and we have had a hard time keeping them on our shelves. Just got a new shipment in, so grab one before they are gone.All Sport Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12960721413569340053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346171001988207339.post-68973482103270765862010-06-23T10:20:00.000-07:002010-06-28T09:12:32.964-07:00<div style="text-align: left;"><strong>What's the difference between helmets and how do you find the right fit for you?:</strong> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">There are two basic types of helmets.

They are good for one major impact. These</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">helmets are made with expanded polystyrene (also know as EPS). EPS is </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to manufacture. On the first major </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">impact the helmet loses its ability to protect because of the fact </div><div style="text-align: left;">that the material has little to no rebound. So while still better </div><div style="text-align: left;">than nothing, if you crashed and hit your head on the exact same spot, </div><div style="text-align: left;">there would be no material to absorb the impact. Single impact </div><div style="text-align: left;">helmets manage a MAJOR crash better than a multi-impact helmet but </div><div style="text-align: left;">then are rendered useless.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

The helmet should come in contact with your head all the way around and there should be no room for movement. The helmet shouldsit on your head level and as low as possible as to provide maximum coverage. Some helmets come with adjustable pads that can be moved around to maximize the fit and comfort. The final step in properly fitting a helmet is to adjust the straps. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">The Y of the side straps should come together just below the ear. The chinstrap should be snug on the underside of your chin. If it is uncomfortable then it’s too ight. When properly adjusted, if you open your mouth wide you should feel the helmet pull down on your head. Wearing the chinstrap is a must! Without it the helmet wont stay on your head in the event of a violent crash.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Fox was started back in 1974 by Geoff Fox, a PhD who taught physics at Santa Clara University. The company was called Moto-X Fox, and was a distribution for European motocross parts and accessories. Within 2 years of starting the company in a 1500 square foot building in Campbell, California, Geoff was developing engine components and suspension.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">In the Spring of 1977 Geoff created his own racing team, Team Moto-X Fox. He wanted show the American public that his products were superior to those of his competitors. His riders finished 5th, 6th, and 7th in a very competitive 125 cc National Championship series. These riders wore bright red, orange, and yellow jerseys, handmade by Fox. These jerseys were a big hit with the fans and motorcycle enthusiasts. Calls started pouring into the Fox store.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The following two decades, Fox riders tallied over forty National Motocross and Supercross Championships. They continue to be a family owned and run business. They are currently located in Morgan Hill, CA and continue to produce some of the most advanced protective gear on the market.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

The 22-year-old Vermonter, a rising star in the sport, had invited a handful of his snowboarding friends to train with him. (They call themselves <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Frends</span>-the absent i denoting selflessness.) With Pearce, Danny Davis and Luke <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mitrani</span> dialing in an assortment of double-corked moves, there was a sense of euphoria in the air. Pearce <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">marveled</span> at how quickly he and his <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Frends</span> had gone from "just thinking about the tricks to actually taking it to the wall."</div><div></div><div>That <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">progression</span> was slowed last Thursday. In the process of landing a cab double cork-a trick he's nailed before-Pearce caught his toe-side edge, slamming headfirst into the wall of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">half pipe</span> at Park City, Utah. Pearce, who was wearing a helmet, suffered a serious head injury; as of Monday he was in critical but stable condition at the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">University</span> of Utah Hospital. "Kevin sustained a severe traumatic brain injury," said one of his doctors, Holly <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ledyard</span>." [He] has a long recovery ahead of him." (SI Jan. 2010, Austin Murphy)</div><div> </div><div>Luckily Kevin was smart enough to wear a helmet.

Starting fall 2010, all snowboarders will be required to wear a helmet while on public ski resorts. A veto from Austria's ski federation, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">OSV</span>, has prevented this law from affecting skiers.<br /><br />Anyone caught violating this law will be stopped by ski police(provided by resort) and given a fine. 100 euros for first offense, 200 for the second, and a possible season long ban from all EU resorts for further citations.<br /><br />This is awesome! It should be for all riders, whether on a board or skis. This law will save/protect a lot of people from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">unnecessary injuries and/or death. According to the NSAA(National Ski Areas Association), in the past decade an average of 39.8 people die per year due to ski/snowboard related accidents. There are 43.5 serious injuries(paraplegics, head trauma and other serious injuries)per year. These numbers would be significantly lowered if everyone was wearing a helmet. I know I have had my fair share of close calls with a tree, or the occasional wreckless skier/snowboarder flying aimlessly down the hill at around 40mph and I'm sure I am not alone.</span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected"></span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Helmets these days are far superior to beanies and other head wear as it is. You can link up your mp3 players and cell phones up to many of them. Here are a couple great ones on the market right now.... <a href="http://www.allsportprotection.com/Snowboard_Helmets_s/24.htm">www.allsportprotection.com/Snowboard_Helmets_s/24.htm</a> They are super warm, comfortable, protect your noggin', and look more hard core!
