what makes fixie bikes different than your ordinary ones?  are fixie bikes better or are they inferior? first, the difference.  fixie bikes are basically bicycles without a freewheel mechanism.  that means that if you stop pedalling, the bike would also stop.  no coasting with these bikes. now for the loaded question. it would depend on what you are really looking for.  some would say that fixed-gear bikes are not practical.  some would say that it is lightweight and makes for better riding.  some would say it's a challenge to learn and that's where its beauty lies.  i mean just look at this:   once you get to know the fixie bikes world just a little bit better, you would be asking yourself whether you should buy one or build one from the ground up.  the thing is, it would again depend on what you really want.  there are several reasons why buying one ready to ride is the better option.  but then again, there are al...

few people believed that the c's have what it takes to even make it to the eastern conference finals. yet here we are looking at a magic-celtics eastern conference finals after the boston celtics defeated the cavs in game 6. this defeat just shows that one superstar is not enough to carry a team to the promised land, not even if you are a phenom like lebron james. i'll take a win over a triple double anyday anyway.

The world is not a safe place; that is if you are not careful. Accidents can happen anytime like during skiing holidays . Since skiing is a demanding activity to the body, there are several things that could go wrong in terms of bodily injury. Also, there are other several things that could go wrong on a skiing trip hence you have to arm yourself with information on how to avoid dangers aside from ankle sprains and similar injuries. Ski slopes are sometimes crowded especially during those times of the year when many a people would go out for their skiing trip. This makes the slopes like a speedway full of speeding cars. If you are not careful, you could end up getting hit by someone hurtling towards you from behind, or worse, be the one out of control and wreaking havoc down the slopes. In every skiing destination, there are instructors who would tell you what and what not to do while skiing.

big ben = intense he's not gonna make them a championship contender, at least in my opinion. but it's a feel-good move by the detroit pistons to bring back big ben. mr. wallace hinted earlier this year that he might retire and that's what would have happened after the suns let him go after getting him from that shaq trade. anyway, i think the pistons is still a team to be reckoned with at least on paper. ben gordon: can score at will rip hamilton: can flat-out shoot the effin' lights out coming off picks charlie villanueva: kinda good tayshaun prince: he's unhappy like rip but maybe big ben's presence can rekindle that tay fire rodney stuckey: getting good but with gordon and hamilton in the backcourt, what would happen to him? ok, he's a pg and both rip and gordon play the 2 so this season could be a breakout year for him. p.s. at least it's gonna be nice hearing that "gong" sound at the palace again.

just something to breathe life into this dead blog: if you are ramon sessions reading this, please join the new york knicks. even for less money than you want, and yes, even for a single year. why? because you'll kick major ass with starter minutes in ny and that will certainly pave the way for a better payday for you. :D just saying/blogging...

the cars are not the the only sleek things in formula 1. there are kick-ass helmets too. anyone familiar with f1 knows that each driver has his own helmet. so, i did a bit of snooping around to bring you these f1 helmets. giancarlo fischella will be suiting up again for force india this season and he'll be wearing this helmet for the 2009 season. not too shabby but not too great either. adrian sutil, fisichella's force india teammate will be rocking this helmet this year. better than fisichella's in my opinion. back with renault for the second year after his one-year stint with mclaren-mercedes, fernando alonso has this for this year. looks good but i think i will go with sutil's still. heikki kovalainen would be looking to improve his last year's performance this season. hopefully, the helmet will not be the only thing he's changed for the better. it's tough but my mclaren bias means i'm picking this helmet over sutil's. jarno trulli, still w...
