It’s been happenin’ a lot lately well it’s happenin’ again. Frankly I’m getting sick of posting about their killer deals. But you hippies are sucking these things up and saving cash. At any rate, here’s another from Moosejaw (note these are the words verbatim from their sales email:

We’ve never done a 72-Hour Sale before but we’ve always wanted to. The key to the 72 hour sale is to make it really good and use lots of exclamation points. We went back and forth about this one at the bar last night for about seven hours. Please look at that exclamation point below when you’re bored. As a side note, I would say nine girls gave me a second glance at the bar. Really, one girl did and I’ve never felt better about myself.

• MENS UP TO 30% OFF SALE!
• WOMENS UP TO 30% OFF SALE!
• KIDS UP TO 30% OFF SALE!

We just put tons of new stuff on sale and it all ends in 72 hours.

Love the Madness.

Among the words of the following story lives the essence of the no pole movement…

I was wondering where this old GravityFed story went! It took a few years to stumble upon it on some external hard drive, but here it is. So now it’s being re-published for all the freeheel skiers. This is the story of a gang of Alta radicals who were not only early chargers of the tele freeride movement, but hey did it with no ski poles. Say what?! I still remember seeing Narajowski cutting a trail over piss pass fearlessly in 30 inches of pow. All the locals (with their poles!) couldn’t come close to keepin’ up with his hiking prowess and subsequent destruction of steep and deep terrain. To wit:

As he went past me, he leaned on his fat tails but wore no expression. He held his arms out to indicate how, as a hyper-intelligent being, he had calculated each micron of turn pleasure sacrificed, then factored that in with each nanosecond of gravitational bliss given up for his pure speed run.

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 — Upside Over recently announced its expanded stock of Kids Cycling Gear for fall purchasing and the holiday season. Including Kucharik, Baby Jogger, Deuter, Answer and Primal Wear.

Parents look to explore the outdoors through cycling, and they continuously look for options to get their kids involved. Just because you have young kids, doesn’t mean you have to give up cycling. As your kids grow from toddlers to teens, you can grow with them. Start your kids cycling early and then let them advance at their own pace. Make sure you keep plenty of water and snacks handy and be sure to shorten your rides with activities for the kids in between.

“At Upside Over we perceive ourselves as enablers to new parents and families looking to explore the outdoors,” said Peter Dean, President. “We are excited to be providing products from some of the industry’s best kids cycling manufacturers during the 2007 Autumn season.”

“Then Monday evening, I fly back to Alaska for a 35-day Denali Expedition. I’m going with Clark Fyans, Chris Davenport, and Nick DeVore. We’re just going up there to ski. I’m sure we’ll try the summit. There’s a bunch of first descents that are all really classic.
