“Believe the hype! Triples are the new hot thing in skiing. Not wanting to be left out and to push himself to the max, P White went after it this past week and stomped a triple of his own. Check the full shot and TONS more in Level 1’s forthcoming flick, “After Dark,” dropping September 9th, 2011.”
Only one question coming from me. Where is the Volcano?

Kudos to Showtime for delivering a unique story in a creative way. Cheese factor on this reality show is low. Get excited for baseball. Genius. [Part 2] <— 26 views [Part 3] <— 24 views

“500 million telephone subscribers in the world world world world world world world!”
“Horn alert option included.”
“Optional battery available for TRUE portable use.”
“Yah – I got all my guys working on it right now!”
“Eventually – seeing people using cellular phones may seem as common place as someone checking time on an ELECT-tronic watch.”

Genius.

[iDevice Link] <— 1,248 views On March 4th, 2011 - Armenian-American CBS Sports producer and director, Frank Chirkinian passes away at the age of 84 after suffering from lung cancer. Straight from the man himself...
“I was probably the most innovative and brilliant son of a bitch that ever worked in television. I’ve done so damn many things I can’t remember half of them.”
Straight from Golf Coupons…
“He wasn’t a PGA Pro, but he’s headed to the Golf Hall of Fame. Too bad Frank Chirkinian did not live long enough to attend his induction ceremony this May. He would have enjoyed it. Chirkinian, died on March 4 after a battle with cancer. He didn’t play as a pro, but he influenced how we watch the game. Frank Chirkinian, “The father of televised golf,” died at the age of 84. Many of the things we take for granted today in sports coverage, and golf in particular are because of Chirkinian.
Frank produced the first PGA Championship in 1958, at Llanerch Country Club near his home in Philadelphia, and two years later the first televised Winter Olympics from Squaw Valley. He also dreamed up the idea of putting cameras on blimps to cover sports events.
But it was his work in golf that stood out, and at Augusta National in particular. He produced 38 editions of the Masters for CBS, bringing the majestic fairways and greens of Augusta to fans who could only dream of seeing them in person.
Perhaps you assumed golf leaderboards always listed the golfers in relation to par. Nope. It was Frank who thought this was a good idea and introduced it to sports broadcasting in 1960. Before then, it was just aggregate score. Pretty cool that Frank’s idea will last as long as tournaments are played.”

[iDevice Link] <— 192,779 Stuntman Troy Hartmen is creating again. This time with a 50% throttle yielded a speed of 47 mph jet pack.
“@ketonal Depends on how you look at it. The way I see it, 2 gallons will get me to the top of a 2000′ peak for fresh tracks. So I could make 7 untracked laps for the same price as a typical lift ticket. But to answer your question directly, it equates to about 3 mpg on the flats. That would make me an Eco-Loser.”
A second set of test runs demonstrated ascents of black diamond rated slopes. More details to follow at http://www.troyhartman.com

Just look at Bertrum’s facebook photos… he is an incredible scrabble player.
Genius.
