Leg Tension or Leg Intention as I like to call it.
No, I am not referring to leg tension where you are feeling tight muscles restricting your movement, but rather tension you created with muscle contraction. Leg Intention, as I usually say, is creating purpose in your legs. It’s an isometric contraction of some or all of your leg muscles. It can also be a feeling of pushing off or pushing away from somewhere-the floor, your aerial apparatus or fitness equipment. This idea of intention is, of course, a concept that you can bring to all of your muscle contractions, throughout your body, like radiating energy from your core to your appendages.
In circus, one of the the ways we use leg intention is to create those straight, long lines in our splits or straddles… or any time our legs are extended and creating a shape. In fitness, leg intention is being utilized as we extend our leg for exercises like Bird Dog, Dead Bugs or in the lifting leg in a Single Leg Deadlift. Other examples are when we’re doing planks, push-ups or hollow body holds, just to name a few.
There are so many exercises where leg intention should be incorporated, too many to list, so I won’t.
In yoga we’re (hopefully) using leg intention while performing almost all yoga poses. In Triangle pose, for example (see photo to the right demonstrating good leg intention), your legs want to be isometrically contracting, especially the quad of the front leg to prevent hyper-extension of the knee and to help facilitate more of a stretch in the hamstring of the front leg. While the back leg wants to be lifting through the arch of the foot and through the inner thigh.
Protecting Your Knees & Hips
The biggest reason for creating leg intention is for injury prevention. When you isometrically contract the muscles of your legs and hips (the glutes in your hip complex) you are creating strength and stability in the hip and knees joints.
Let’s talk anatomy real quick…
Your knees are a modified hinge joint. They flex and extend and also allow for a little internal and external rotation of the lower leg. The former being what we do most with our knees throughout our daily life. I want to bring attention to knee hyperextension as this is a movement past the ‘normal range’ of extension of the knee and a position that some of you may experience-myself included. Contracting the muscles around the knee: quad (most specifically your rectus femoris), hamstrings and calves will help ensure that the knees are not at risk of excess load, potentially pushing them into hyperextension-whether your knees already hyperextend or not.
- If your knees do hyperextend, you’ll want to pull back from what feels like full extension and hold the knee with these muscles isometrically contracting to bring the legs to straight from past straight, creating strength and stability of your knee joint and less wear and tear on the knee. This ‘pulling back‘ will feel weird and challenging at first, because standing all the way into your full extension is easy, but it’s ditching into your joints and over-stretching your ligaments and your joint capsule (the soft tissue that is not meant to be stretched–they’re meant to stabilize your joints).
- If your knees do not hyperextend, contracting the leg muscles helps ensure that you don’t potentially cause pressure to the knees (joint capsule or the ligaments) that could lead to hyperextension over time due to poor engagement of the muscles around your knee. Bringing this leg intention to your training will ensure you are stabilizing the knee joint and reducing your chance of injury by holding the knee in improper alignment.
Our hips are a ball and socket joint, just like the shoulder, but with less range of motion than the shoulder. Our hip joints allow for our legs to extend, flex, abduct, adduct and rotate; this helps us make shapes like splits, straddles or straddle pancake, but also allows for every day movements like hinging in half, walking, standing up, sitting down and climbing stairs. Isometrically contracting the muscles around the hip complex: glutes, external/internal rotators and inner thigh muscles can help ensure you don’t over-stretch into too much of a split or straddle while performing certain circus, stretching or fitness movements.
Incorporating Leg Intention
Let’s take a look at a few positions a little more closely where really focusing on your leg intention and the isometric contraction is going to help protect your knees and hips.
On All Fours and Other Positions Close to the Ground
The photos below show me demonstrating Bird Dog with good leg intention of the lifting leg (top left) and the other two photos where I am not. In the top right photo and the bottom left photo, I am not creating intention in my arm either. The top right photo has less arm intention. You will be able to perform the exercise more easily if you have intention in your appendages: you can balance more easily, make the transitions from lifting side to side with more control and it means you’re contracting your core more, too!
- Quick note on why the second two photos are incorrect form. Aside from not having leg intention, the middle photo lacks core engagement. You can see this in the swoop of my low back. Also, my head is also drooping down a bit out of proper alignment; my lifting arm lacks intention as does my arm with the hand on the floor. You can see this when you look at my shoulder: it’s a bit slouchy toward the spine and I am not actively pressing out and into the floor.
- The photo on the right is also incorrect for different reasons. Core engagement is lost and I am demonstrating this by the sway in my back and thus a bit of a rib flare. My hips are no longer square to the floor because my core is not engaged to help square me, but also because instead of lifting the leg with my glutes I am lifting the leg with my low back muscles and this also contributes to the swayed back and loss of core contraction. The lifting leg needs to be lifting from the glute and when this is done correctly as in the photo on the left you will see and feel that it only lifts to about parallel with the floor. Lifting from my glute (helps) maintains core contraction. Lastly, my head is way out of alignment in the photo on the right, placing lots of stress on the upper traps and the vertebrae of my neck.
Next, let’s examine the Dead Bug exercise. In the photo on the left–the correct form–you will notice I have leg intention-energy radiating from my core through the heel of my foot (and also out the the opposite arm reaching up!). You will also notice that my core is contracted because my ribs are not flaring and I have a nice neutral spine. The photo on the right–the incorrect form–I am not demonstrating any leg intention. My leg is soft, seen via a slight bend in my knee and my ankle is soft as well as it is neither pointing nor flexing. I also have no core contraction which can be seen with my rib flare and the slight arch in my back.
- Quick note on the 2 photos above. The photo on the left is demonstrating how a strong core contraction sends this isometric engagement out through the whole body and creates leg intention. From the contracting quad for a super straight leg to the flexed heel on that foot and the active point of the bent leg, all the way up to the arms pointing up towards the ceiling or reaching over the head, you can see the energy of the isometric contraction.
- In the photo on the right, it’s subtle, but you can see the lack of core engagement through the slight arch in the back and rib flare; the soft elbow and knee bends and curled fingers and the relaxed ankles.
Next post I will continue with movements close to the ground and creating leg intention in planks and push-up and then delve into standing positions. We’ll examine yoga poses like Warrior 3 or Triangle. We’ll talk about standing positions in fitness like the Single Leg Deadlift, as well as standing on the silks, rope or other aerial apparatus in various positions. Lastly we’ll touch base on leg intention in splits and straddle, whether on the ground or in the air.

Aqua Blue Sport, Ireland’s Professional Continental cycling team, has unveiled its new team kit for the 2017 season in partnership with professional cycling clothing supplier Vermarc Sport.
The cutting edge team kit, revealed by team rider Martyn Irvine, uses carbon-infused fabrics for optimum fit and performance. The design incorporates the team’s signature colourway, featuring a dark navy base with gold and white piping on the sleeves and thighs. Both the front and back of the jersey are dominated by large chevrons in striking gold, while the rear of the jersey and bib shorts features representations of the team’s gold shamrock logo.
The chevron echoes the name of the team and the scale of their ambition, the path of their direction and the peaks that they will climb. The gold shamrock, a prominent feature, represents the team’s Irish roots with the gold colour symbolising the team’s ambition as much as its origins. On the right breast, the jersey carries the logo of kit suppliers and team sponsors Vermarc Sport and Knight Composites. The jersey collar showcases the Aqua Blue Sport logo and a pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness, a cause close to the heart of the team’s founders. The kit is finished off with a small tricolour inside the collar, again hearkening to its Irish roots.
Aqua Blue Sport today also confirmed US manufacturer Knight Composites as suppliers of its race wheels for 2017 and German manufacturer Schwalbe is to provide the team’s tyres.
The team will be riding the full range of Knight clincher wheels in 35mm, 65mm and 95mm depths, built with bespoke Aivee SR5 hubs, Sapim CX Ray spokes and Schwalbe Pro One tyres. The Knight 65s will serve as superfast race wheels, while the lighter Knight 35s will be used for training and races with more mountainous terrain. Knight 95s, notably the fastest wheels in the world; will be raced on flatter, fast courses favoured by the team’s sprinters and in time trials.

Frank Liske Park
- Open Now
Very nice park, well maintained. I go here to use the jogging trail- it's a 2 mile loop of mostly crushed gravel and minimal elevation; only a couple very short hills. About half of it is shaded (give/take depending on time of day). Some spots are more sandy and a little harder to run through. There are two water coolers right along the path that the park keeps stocked with cold water and paper cups, which is really nice in the summer heat.
This park is a beautiful and wide place, I like playing tennis and walking. Also good for hiking and dog friendly. Families can reserve a shelter and it has a grill place. I like the park because it is comfortable and so quite, there is a lake where people can enjoy fishing or boating.
Pete A V
HUGE Park! Numerous clean restrooms and water fountains. Tons of sports fields -disc golf, soccer, baseball /softball, etc. Multiple walking, hiking, biking trails, ponds for fishing or paddle boating. Plus put put golf. Not overcrowded, very charming. Very clean overall, very peaceful.
I have lived in Cabarrus County my entire life and remember Frank Liske opening while I was in high school. It has gone through a lot of additions, transitions and improvements over the years and still remains one of the best maintained Parks in the area. With soccer and baseball fields, tennis courts, walking trails, the disc golf course, putt putt, or just relaxing in paddle boats in the lake there seems to be something for anyone and any activity. I live 10 minutes away and love this park, I highly recommend it.
Great park to spend the day at! Lots of stuff to do and very professional and friendly staff! Tons of trails to walk on, plenty of tennis courts, a large pond to fish in, baseball fields, soccer fields, and even disc golf! The barn also by as a ton of room upstairs for any events you may need to rent it out for.

When you think of high performance, hand made, full suspension bikes, Poland probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind. After seeing the bikes from Zumbi however, maybe it should. Fiercely proud of their 100% Polish designed and manufactured product, Zumbi combines hand made craftsmanship with modern suspension technology to create bikes with a custom touch that can be hard to find elsewhere.
Each Zumbi is designed by their main engineer Pawel Matuszynski in Myslenice – what they call the downhill mountain bike heart of Poland. The company offers all sorts of bikes including trials, DJ, Street, XC, Enduro, FR, DH, and even a fat bike and fixie. Working mostly with 7020 aluminum alloy, most of the frames are offered with the ability to get custom geometry, paint, and even tubing options.
Zumbi had their F-11 Enduro and Sam Dueck’s F-22 FR bike to show – get a closer look next…
Built from 7020 aluminum with 7075 links, the F-11 is their 140/165mm travel enduro frame with 26″ or 27.5″ wheels (the company is currently working on a 29″ version). Suspension travel can be changed by switching the upper shock mount position, and the shock mounts have been specifically designed for the Cane Creek DB air shock since it has the biggest can on the market.
The frame has been improved to run a lower stack headset with a 44mm head tube, but the frame can be ordered with a 1 1/8″, tapered, or 1.5″ head tube if you want, and the choice of internal or external cable routing for free. Other options include a 135×12 or 142×12 rear axle, and a powder coated, raw, or anodized finish with Laser etched or mechanically engraved graphics as an option. Custom geometry can be had for just $100 more, enabling you to pick the head tube angle, TT, wheelbase, and seat tube length! If that wasn’t enough you can choose your own custom paint scheme for an additional $175 on top of the $1800 for the frame without a rear shock.
All Zumbi full suspension bikes use their in-house designed FPS- system which is a fairly standard Short Dual Link suspension design with the shock anchored on the down tube. The suspension pivots have an optional Ti upgrade, and all run sealed bearings which are even made in Poland.
Stock geometry of the F11 uses a 67 degree HTA, with a 73 degree STA, and 430mm chainstays, with a frame weight of 3.1kg with a Bos Vipr shock in M. The complete bike as shown comes in right at 29 pounds with pedals ready to ride.
With the F-11 as the enduro bike in the line up, the F-22 is the FR bruiser or in Sam Dueck’s case a mini DH or Extreme Enduro build. Built with convertible 140/170mm travel the F-22 has similar custom options as the F-11.
Based on what you want it to be, you can select most of the standards including a 73 or 83mm bottom bracket, 135, 142, or 15omm rear end, 1 1/8″ or 1.5″ head tube, etc. Using a more compact version of their FPS-system, the F-22 is designed for 130-180mm forks making it the perfect bike for most big mountain/slopestyle events like the Chatel Mountain Style where Antoinie rode it to victory.
Now as the main ride for their sponsored rider Sam Dueck, his bike above is built with parts from his sponsors including Marzocchi, Spank, IXS, and Schwalbe.
Zumbi bikes are now being imported to the US through Prestige MTB.

For a complete list of local (and some not-so-local) races, check out the Indy Runners Race Calendar.
If you are thinking about participating in any of our local 5k (or longer) races, it’s important to take the appropriate precautions to reduce your risk of injury:
Consult with medical professionals. Been a while since you were last physically active on a regular basis? Started your running program and now you have foot or ankle pain? Come see your go-to foot doc—and also your primary care provider—to make sure you’re in condition to start training!
We can assess your lower limbs and overall health before you start training. We will identify potential risks and determine preventative measures – like perhaps a pair of custom orthotics to reduce your risk of various foot and ankle problems.
Ease into it. If you are new to running, you may need to start with a walk/jog (or run) mix before you’re ready to jump into a full-fledged running program. Doing so enables your body to adjust to the additional stress you are going to be placing on it. Here’s a plan you may wish to follow:
- In the first week, walk for four minutes and then jog for one (and repeat the pattern for however long you are planning).
- In the second week, change the times to three minutes of walking and two minutes of jogging.
- In the third week, walk two minutes for every three minutes of jogging.
- In the fourth week, walk one minute for every four minutes of jogging.
- In the fifth week, jog the entire time. Then, start to increase your speed a little (no more than 10%) every week thereafter.
Make sure you’re wearing proper running shoes. It is difficult to overstate the importance of this, but when you are logging lots of miles, you absolutely need proper footwear to prevent overuse injuries like stress fractures, Achilles tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis.
Don’t just order your footwear online! Actually go to a physical, “brick and mortar” store. Why? You can then make sure you buy shoes that fit like they are supposed to!
Additionally, going to a store like Blue Mile or Athletic Annex that caters to runners will let you to ask questions to a professional who knows about which shoes are best for which types of pronation patterns.
As we’ve mentioned before in our blog, don’t fall for the latest bells and whistles when it comes to running shoes. Remember, the most important feature of running shoes—one that is rarely promoted—is the heel counter. These plastic inserts are found in the back of the shoe and serve to reinforce the heel cup.
You won’t be able to actually see the heel counter, since it’s covered by material, but this feature locks the foot into proper position within the shoe – which reduces overpronation by controlling foot motion.
Finally, keep in mind that running shoes are an investment in your health. You will likely have to pay more than $100 for a decent pair, but the cost is worth it.

Eigil Nielsen, founder of the company SELECT, developed the first SELECT ball in 1947. Nielsen was a trained sports psychologist and worked in the leather industry when he started the company. A few years of experience later, SELECT presented a revolutionary ball with 32 panels. This was 1962 and completely new. It took ten more years before the first actual handball was produced, but it was made in the same way as this 1962 prototype.
Even until today, this is the base of all handballs produced! Today SELECT is one of the world's leading suppliers of top quality hand-stitched balls. The innovative Danish company produces more than 2 million balls a year, is represented worldwide and is exported to more than 50 countries. Deventrade exclusively distributes handballs from SELECT In the Netherlands, including associated accessories, such as resin.
Since 2016, SELECT is the official ball supplier of the European Handball Federation (EHF). The SELECT Ultimate is one of the top models of the brand and the official competition ball for the greatest European handball competitions: the Velux EHF Champions League, the Womens Champions League and the EHF European Championships. An exclusive design of the SELECT Ultimate is presented for each of these competitions each year. The partnerships give SELECT the opportunity to develop and test new product innovations together.
Thanks to the wide range of handballs, SELECT brings an ideal ball for every player. In addition to balls for professional handball, the SELECT collection also includes many competition and training balls for amateurs. The supply for pupils and juniors is exactly tailored to the current guidelines of the IHF (International Handball Federation).
Another interesting ball within the assortment is the SELECT Adaptaball. A revolutionary training ball of the highest quality. The Adaptaball demands adaptability of the player. Because of a consciously created imbalance, the ball has a slightly different flight than you would expect. Bouncing also requires more focus. By training with this special ball, the player is constantly challenged and stimulated. This way routine actions suddenly become challenging again!

When the Toronto Blue Jackets was playing in the American League, many fans came from Canada to see their favorite team play. When the Canadian baseball team moved to New York, there was a huge demand for tickets. The fans didn’t have a choice as the ticket prices in Toronto became very high. That’s why the team expanded into a different league and opened the new stadium in New York City.
As a result, the Toronto BlueJays sold out their tickets easily. Their stadium is located in the center of the park. Many people say that the new location is better because it gives the fans a better view of the playing field. In addition to that, the Toronto BlueJays are scheduled to play in their home season only during the spring season and not in the fall or winter.

Bought as my first kayak and have owned for a couple of years now. Use it for fishing on Ozark creeks and occasionally running class 2 WW to access good fishing holes. Not many spray skirt options other than Seals brand for the very large cockpit. It's pretty comfortable and has easy to adjust foot rests. A little customization makes it a pretty good stable sit in fishing kayak.

Not hard to paddle straight once you get used to it. It's very stable and holds lots of stuff. It goes and turns like a little sports car. Not really a long distance cruiser, but still fairly versatile.
Overall lots of fun.

The kayak is a shorter than many. This is a trade-off. The shorter length makes it light and easy to get on the water but it also requires a little more skill to paddle in a straight line.
It does not come with any chords to tie down gear (except for a paddle holder). I plan on adding some myself later.

Dirt bike riding is a fascinating sport full of tricks, sharp turns and great speed. As a beginner, you might be intimidated by the technicalities of dirt bike riding.
However, dirt bike riding is not as complicated as it seems. Like every other sport, it has its technicalities, most of which you can master by following the right tips and techniques. This article highlights tips and techniques to help you ride your dirt bike like an expert.
Five Tips to Help You Ride Your Dirt Bike Like a Pro
These are five tips to help you to level up from being a beginner to riding your dirt bike like a pro.
- Wear Riding Gear: Your safety comes before anything else when you are riding a dirt bike. Before your first ride, you must ensure to get all the required riding gear. Your riding gear will protect you in case of a fall, saving you from scratches, injuries and even more serious health troubles. The riding gear that you need include a motocross helmet; to protect your head and neck during fall, riding jacket and pants; to give you comfort and protection, gloves; to provide friction while you ride as well as riding boots; to protect your feet and enable you to ride comfortably.
- Make Use of Your Knees: Your knees are essential for riding a dirt bike. This is because they help you to maintain your balance all through your twists and turns. Motocross pants usually have a grip pattern around the knee. This is to enable riders to grip the dirt bike with their knees while riding. Grip the area around the fuel tank of your dirt bike with your knees for better balance and control. By doing this, you can handle your bike better.
- Stay Conscious of Your Surroundings: Just like driving a car or riding a regular bike, it is important to be aware of your surroundings while riding a dirt bike. Taking note of everything around you will keep you safe. When riding a dirt bike, you need to take note of the obstacles in front, by your side and the ones that are far ahead. This will help you to make quick decisions without trouble. You should also practice riding etiquette when you are aware of the presence of other riders.
- Distribute Your Weight Evenly: Dirt bikes are typically light, which is why you need to distribute your weight evenly when riding one. Sitting at the rear of the dirt bike might make it very difficult to control. Always use your knees to grip the bike instead of your arms. You will most likely end up with arm aches if you do it with your arms. Put your weight on the footpegs of the bike, rather than on your back. Always keep your elbows high and away from your body. This will ensure that you have more control over the bike, allowing you to make sharp turns.
Most importantly, ensure to get the best KTM bikes as they will give you a great riding experience.

The state of Colorado serves up amazing ski getaways all over the state. There are a few ski resorts near Denver that are perfect for a day trip, weekend getaway or full vacation for solo skiers, couples, families and ski groups. These five ski areas are less than two hours’ drive from Denver the next time you need some powder therapy.
First up, Eldora Mountain offers convenience and excitement in the foothills southwest of Boulder. It is one of the ski resorts close to Denver. The ski resort sits right along Interstate 70 West, only about 50 miles from Downtown Denver. The mountain has more than 700 ski able acres. That’s a good amount of vertical drop for a smaller foothills resort. The mountain typically receives plenty of snow. Its 11 lifts give skiers easy access to a plethora of runs that range from easy beginner slopes and cruising intermediates to challenging advanced and expert trails that are used for training by the local university ski team.
All told, Eldora Mountain is a great balance of price and convenience. It’s ideal for newbies who want to learn to ski at a smaller resort where there’s room to grow without battling long lift lines and overly excessive crowds. Sure, it can get busy at Eldora Mountain just like everywhere else. But, weekday skiing usually has less traffic – so hit the resort during the week and you won’t be disappointed. Eldora Mountain has wide bowls, excellent glade skiing and about 25 miles of Nordic and snowshoeing trails to boot.
Less than 60 miles west of Denver along Interstate 70 West, Loveland Ski Area sits at the Eisenhower Tunnel. If you’ve ever travelled to the tunnel from mid-October through mid-May, then you’ve probably seen lifts filled with skiers heading up the mountain while you’re heading toward the tunnel entrance on the west side.
Loveland is a local’s mountain that’s simple but thrilling. There’s a small base lodge with no frills but everything you need for fun on the mountain. The lifts take you way above the tree line. Dress accordingly so you’ll be able to enjoy the open runs and exciting vertical drop as you ski the Continental Divide. There’s free cat skiing every day, too!
The convenience of Loveland coupled with the great runs and lack of mountain pass closures make it a reliable powder outing. The nearby towns of Georgetown and Silverthorne are a good place to snag a snack, dinner, gas up, visit retail shops or reserve a hotel room.
OK, now we’re getting serious here. Arapahoe Basin is a smaller local’s mountain that has lots of great advanced terrain with excellent steeps and extreme chutes. A-Basin is a more budget-friendly ski resorts compared to other nearby resorts and has one of the longest ski seasons on average (November through June, sometimes later.)
The ski resort is a top spot in Colorado for spring skiing. With a summit elevation greater than 13,000 feet, the snow is still deep in March and April compared to other resorts with a lower elevation. The resort is ideal of intermediate and advanced skiers who want big powder and love skiing chutes and steeps.
At Arapahoe Basin, there are limited amenities and no lodging at the base. If you want to ski at A-Basin, look for overnight lodging at Keystone. It’s only about a 10-minute drive from the base area at Arapahoe Basin. The nearby town of Silverthorne and Frisco provide lots of lodging, dining and entertainment choices.
Winter Park is only 65 miles from downtown Denver via Highway 40 at Idaho Springs making it one of the ski resorts close to Denver. Not only are you headed up for excellent skiing, but there’s beautiful scenery along the way to the world-class ski resort.
Family-friendly Winter Park is the longest continually operated ski resort in the state. It has everything you’d want at a premier resort – a fun and safe ski school, easy greens, challenging blues, and nasty blacks and double blacks. At Winter Park, there’s everything: epic moguls, breathtaking glades, ample powder stashes and a big-time terrain park that’s a hit with both skiers and snowboarders alike. In total, there are more than 3,000 acres of skiable terrain.
Around the resort, there’s plenty of lodging and dining, and the base area has cool spots like an outdoor ice rink and a full-service spa. The Winter Park Express train transports skiers and boarders from Denver’s Union Station to the Winter Park base village on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from January through March.
Ski enthusiasts love Keystone for its family-friendly atmosphere, night skiing and top-rated terrain park all within two hours from Denver. That makes it one of the ski resorts close to Denver. It was originally planned to be the site of the Alpine Events of the ill-fated Denver 1976 Olympic Bid. But thats another story… Keystone presents the ideal middle ground – it’s not ultra-luxurious or too laid back. It’s just about right. The mountain has diverse terrain. It is ideal for larger ski groups that have skiers and snowboarders at different experience levels. It’s massive ski area also means there’s plenty of fresh powder to explore, even on busy days.
Keystone has four awesome bowls available for expert skiing (double black diamond). The Area 51 Terrain Park offers skill progressions for newbies, intermediates and experts. The dedicated learning area for beginners is one of the nation’s best ski schools.
In the evening, skiers can hit the slopes from sunset until about 9 p.m. for Colorado’s largest selection of night skiing . Ski runs are mostly greens and blues.
To get to Keystone, take Interstate 70 West to Silverthorne and then take Highway 6 South to the resort entrance. There are lots of lodging and dining options in the area.

This guide will help you pick the best set of mountain bike knee pads so you can ride Bmx Bikes, Velcro Straps, Mesh Fabric, Fox Racing, Mountain Biking.
Ride some form of AM. Have visited the ER more times than I care to admit so pads are on… for all rides. We have a saying in our group, when the pads are off, we go down.
So if you are superstitious you might be stuck with wear these pads through all rides. For the long rides, the pads get a bit warm, but not noticably so, They get a bit sweaty too.
Sometimes, they have a pinching rub in the back that can make my skin sore. But otherwise, I forget about them when I ride 30 miles, and happy when they are there when I huck my meat fox launch pro knee shin guard review go too fast.
That is the best one can ask of knee pads.
However I only wear these under what I would call extreme, rocky conditions as they are a little bulky and warm. Please note, all size information is provided as a guide - if you're unsure rsview need any further assistance you can call us on Falling off is all part of the fun when you are mountain biking.
After a helmet, kneepads are probably the most important bit of protective equipment you can wear. This is because, if you do fall, your knee will likely be the first part of you to hit the ground. Kneepads come in many shapes and sizes but can be split into two basic types: If you want the best protection lxunch your knees, then heavy-duty knee pads guaed whet you need. These have a substantial protective layer around the fox launch pro knee shin guard review that protects from impacts as well as abrasions.
While a hard shell combined with a shock absorbing pad is the traditional way of offering high levels of protection there are also softer options that deliver similar impact performance.
Shock absorbing materials that mould to your leg shape and allow you to move freely make the pad more comfortable. D3O and VPD compounds do this while offering high levels of protection.
Some heavy-duty knee pads borrow technology from the motorcycle market. Look for pads certified to the EN standard to be sure that you are getting the best levels of protection for your knees. Some of these knee pads also have padding around the side of the knee.
This offers extra protection that is especially useful if you bash your knee on the top tube of your bike. Adjustable straps ensure a secure fit to geview the pad in place when you hit the ground. With only a thin protective layer around the knee, lightweight kneepads offer protection from abrasions rather than impacts.
This means that the pads are much less substantial making them more comfortable, especially when you are pedalling. Lightweight pads also tend to be better ventilated and tend to keep you cooler as you ride.
Some lightweight kneepads offer a little more impact protection than others. Look out for D3O padding or an EN rating for impact protection.
This makes them more likely to move after an initial impact. Originally Posted by osbaldo.

I have the Launch Enduro knees on order because I want something light for summer and casual riding and the elbows I bought last month feel great. It's nice to have two sets of guards that can be used for different trails.
Know these before you post: I bought the enduros without rsview them in person just based off of reviews. Massive mistake. They're glorified knee warmers.
They offer zero protection from rock impacts. I found out the hard way.
I recommend the IXS Flow instead. I have the IXS Cleavers and they are great. Abit bulky, get abit sweaty on the climbs, but thats well forgotten as there is plenty of breeze happening once you get up to speed.
Also you can release the lower velcro strap to get more air kner. This could mean the tide will turn on the sea of logos you see all over the place.

- This physically imposing, modern profile is ideal for big hitters who want maximum wood in their hitting zone.
- The huge edges and flatter face are ideal for aggressive players looking to clear the boundary with ease.
- The ULTRA couples really well with our Carbo Cane handle and creates what is Laver & Wood’s most aggressive bat set up.
- The most popular L&W shape.
- This profile is all about awesome weight distribution which allows for incredible bat-speed as well as a powerful hitting zone.
- This much loved shape is ideal for stroke players at the top of the order that need bat speed and balance to craft a long innings and put a high value on their wicket.

- It is a variation on the more traditional Classic profile with the spine sweeping into the toe, larger edges and a more compact but longer spine that allows for a wider sweet spot.
- This was the profile that lead to the modern shapes like MEGA and ULTRA, however it can be made at lighter weights and picks up better than those profiles.
- Laver & Wood have developed the Flat Face Special Profile and Indoor profile with a new pressing method to promote performance against the hard leather ball.
- The materials they use in fitting the handle mean that they can sacrifice unnecessary Willow from the shoulders of the bat without sacrificing the structural integrity of the splice.
- The profile picks up lighter than the actual weight of the bat so all in all, you are getting a bat that gives you an outstanding feel and massive power to weight ratio.

Wheels, wheels, wheels. It is probably one of the most often asked questions I get, what wheels should I use in my upcoming race? Which are fastest? Lightest? Should I use the disc or the deep rim or should I whip out the Hed 3’s? I can’t believe I am even considering writing this article because I know just how involved and technical it could become if I tried to go over every possible scenario and type of course and the ins and outs of aerodynamic drag and how it all relates to the gazillion wheel offerings out there. As always, I will try my best to keep it simple and hopefully, if you are in the market for some cool new wheels, will help you make the right decision.
First of all, remember, aero race wheels fall under the category of FREE SPEED (although it’s not really free – some wheel sets might set you back as much as $1500-$2000!!!). Also, realize that even in a best case scenario, the very most aero wheel set might drop 3-4 minutes from your current 40k time trial personal best (but probably more like 1-2 minutes) if you are now using a basic set of box rims with 32-36 spokes. Extrapolate that over the distance of an Ironman bike course and the numbers start to sound very impressive and very much worth every penny invested if you are on the bubble for one of those Kona slots. The faster you already are – the more aero wheels are going to help you – if you currently ride at speeds less than about 17 mph, aero wheels are not going to help as much as if you currently ride 28+ mph.
Without any constraints on budget, you could have a “quiver” of wheels from which to choose for any course or condition you might encounter. With lots of constraints on budget, however, you might be considering a single wheel, or at most, an “all purpose” pair that is sturdy, reliable and can be used on any course in any conditions and possibly even for training as well as racing. One thing to remember is that the front wheel is the most important wheel as far as aerodynamics goes but it is also the most affected by crosswinds.
There are many factors that affect the price you will pay for a specific wheel and there is some basic truth to the saying – you get what you pay for…. It seems to me that weight is probably the single most considered factor when an athlete is purchasing anything bike related and that includes wheels, for sure. But don’t look at weight (or aerodynamics) alone – look at hub design, braking surfaces and structural integrity. Some wheels are virtually bomb proof AND very fast (but not necessarily the lightest) while others are, well, let’s just say not very fast if you have to pull out of the race or stop and wait for a wheel change from neutral support.
How the heck can you possibly decide? You might be thinking, well, why don’t I just look at the wind tunnel test data that many wheel manufacturers provide and see which wheel set, within my budget, is the fastest? Or maybe I should look at what the fastest riders out there are riding. Or maybe I should just pick the ones that match my bike or jersey colors best? Wind tunnel tests are valuable, but there is just so much more to “how fast is this wheel?” than looking at the drag numbers of that wheel spinning all by it’s lonesome, at one speed, without a rider and a bike being part of the equation. The thing is, if you tested every wheel with different bike frames, different riders, different tire sizes and shapes under different wind conditions and at different speeds and you will get A LOT of varying drag numbers that show both good and bad numbers and your decision would become even more incredible.
So, what do we want? A wheel that is light and aero and sturdy and affordable. Simple. What exactly constitutes a wheel being “aero”? The single most effective way to make a wheel aero is to increase the depth of the rim. Generally speaking, the deeper the rim, the more aerodynamic and the faster the wheel – the fastest being the deepest rim of all – a disc wheel. However, the shape of the rim is a critical component. Ideally, this shape of the rim should be oval or elliptical. Note that the only deep section wheels that legally can have that most aero shape are those made by Hed and Zipp since they both hold the patent which was originally Hed’s. In some cases, it may be a marginal difference but technically speaking, the wheels from these two manufacturers should always be faster than a similarly designed wheel (i.e, same rim depth, same number of spokes, etc) made by someone else. That’s not to say that other wheels aren’t fast. There is much debate whether one wheel is faster than another – the Hed 3 wheel and the Nimble crosswind would be one instance. My best guess is that each wheel may be faster than the other in different conditions but the differences are probably not worth obsessing about for very long. Either would be a good choice if that is the type of wheel you are considering. The next way to make a wheel more aero is to reduce the number of spokes. Fewer spokes mean faster and lighter wheels but not without some compromise when it comes to the strength and lateral stiffness of the wheel. To be really fast, rim depth should be between 50-60 mm and spoke count should be between 16 and 24 spokes (or as low as 3 spokes in the case of composite spoke wheels). Hed makes even deeper sectioned rims that are 90 mm and are among the most aerodynamic wheels made – only a disc is faster – but with more rim depth and aerodynamics comes more susceptibility to crosswinds and handling issues, particularly for lighter riders.
Here are the basic categories or types of wheels (with a few examples of each) you should be considering when in the market (these are just examples and tend to be the wheels that I, personally, would consider using but in not is meant to be an exhaustive list or suggest one wheel is “better” than another (awe, who am I kidding? I think Hed wheels are the best and anyone who I’ve ever coached knows it ;-) ):
Semi Deep: 38-44 mm (Hed Jet 40, Zipp 303, Bontrager Race X Lite Carbon, Corima Roues Medium)
Deep: 50-60 mm (Hed Alps, Hed Jet 60, Zipp 404, Corima Roues Aero, Mavic Cosmic Carbone)
Super Deep: 90 mm (Hed Deep)
Composite Spokes: (Hed 3, Nimble Crosswind, Corima Roues 4 Batons, Mavic IO)
Disc Wheels: (Hed, Zipp 909, Bontrager, Mavic Comete)
All right already, what wheels should I get!!!!
If you want to go as absolutely, no doubt about it, fast as you possibly can, get a disc wheel and super deep or composite spoke front wheel. I mean really, what does Lance ride in the tour TT’s? I can tell you, he is not going to ride it unless it’s the fastest option going for the given course or conditions.
If you can only get one set of wheels and you plan to be going to the show in October consider a super deep or composite spoke for the rear and a composite spoke or deep wheel for the front. A pair of Hed 3’s is a super fast and all around do anything set up – or you could keep it simple and go with a pair of 404’s or Alps – you might give up a little in aerodynamics but gain a lot in peace of mind when the winds really begin to howl (my fastest rides in Kona were on twin Hed Cx wheels which were the same type of wheel as these). So basically, a pair of composite spoke wheels or a pair of deep rim wheels or a combination of the two, will provide you with a very fast, very versatile wheel set.
If you are a very light rider (under 120 lbs) and already feel like you get blown around on your regular wheels you should probably avoid a disc, super deep or composite spoke wheel and consider only the deep and/or semi deep rimmed wheels.
Now for a few other little items….should you get tubulars or clinchers?
If the wheels are to be truly “race only” wheels – get tubulars. The wheels are lighter, the tires quicker to change and you won’t be as tempted to train a lot on them because you won’t want to risk flatting that $90 race tire you’ve got on each wheel!
If you really don’t want to deal with gluing tires, however, and you feel you might be training some on your wheels get clinchers.
What size wheels are best?
The size that fits your bike! No, seriously, in almost every case I would lean toward 700c wheels. Only when a rider’s size warrants a smaller wheel sized frame should 650c wheels be considered. I’m not even going to go into the many reasons why someone would or wouldn’t want to disagree with that. Don’t ride a circus bike!!
Whatever wheel you decide to go with – remember, you will always get more speed from training smart and working on your engine but believe me, I know as well as anyone that part of the fun of cycling is all the cool gear and gadgets we have to choose from.
