A beautiful last day of action for the First annual Pipeline Warriors, as Jamie O’Brien steals the show, but Mason Ho’s heroic final day propels him into second, with Bruce Irons taking 3rd.
Red Bull Twitch’n’Ride is a skijoring competition….lets start there. WTF is skijoring? A quick google search says: “Skijoring is a winter sport where a person on skis is pulled by a horse, a dog (or dogs) or a motor vehicle.” We don’t believe in animal cruelty here, and motorcycles are kind of our bread and butter so the question now is, “Who’s comin’ with me?!”
Red Bull Twitch ‘n’ Ride took place this year in the Latvian medieval town of Cesis and gathered almost 300 reckless skijoring participants! Getting pulled behind a motorcycle on skis is hard enough, but add the difficulty level of this expert track and now you really have a party.
With the first 2015 World Surf League Championship Tour stop around the corner, Body Glove surfer Tatiana Weston Webb of Kauai shares her hopes and dreams about being the only female rookie on tour. The 18 year old learned to surf from her brother, but it was her mom, a big wave bodyboarder who won a contest at Pipeline, that inspired her competitive drive.
“I am really excited to be competing on the CT. This is where it all starts for me. I don’t know my future, I am just more excited to be living my dream, and I am looking forward to how it’s all going to pan out. I feel like this is the beginning of my life.”
If The Lotus Flower Tower were located anywhere other than a remote region of the Canadian wilderness, it would be amongst the most famous and most often repeated big wall climbs in the world; such is its quality. As it stands, relatively few climbers ever have the opportunity to stand atop its vaunted granite peak. Even for those who are able to complete the journey to the Cirque itself, there is no guarantee of success and having already been turned back once, our group of four climbers now return to the wall intent on conquering it in a single push. Passing their previous high point, things look set for success until a final daunting and dangerous section of climbing throws everything into question once again.
