  • Mercruiser Engines: Weathering the Years
    When you do business with a company that has a long history, you can rest assured that they are doing something right. A company that has ridden out a world war and the various economic recessions of the past seven decades has to be on top of their game. In the marine engine industry, that company is Mercury Marine, and they have been creating great engines since 1939 when America was just beginning to recover from the Great Depression and Hitler was running amuck in Europe.
  • Skateboarding Ramps: Flying High
    Sooner or later, everyone who rides a skateboard, bike or inline skates wants to hit a skateboarding ramp. So many cool skateboarding tricks can be performed on a ramp, and it is not too hard to build one at home. Having a ramp at home gives you a chance to practice your skateboarding moves in peace and quiet. After all, who wants to take a lot of beginners' wipe outs in public? With some plywood, a few pieces of 2" by 4", and the right tools, you can throw together your own skateboarding ramp at home.
  • Skateboarding: Blows Your Mind
    Nosegrind, noseslide, 360, Ollie, kickflip-these all sound like factors the NTSB might blame for airplane crashes. In reality, these are some of the many tricks picked up by professional skateboarders in their quest for air. The more daring the trick, the more elevated the risk. Watching pros take to the skies it is hard not to imagine how much fun it must be to pitch yourself into the air, reconnecting with your board on the way back down.
  • Skateboarding Shoes: Get Mad Skills
    Skateboarding in the United States has arrived. Skateboard parks are cropping up all over the country. There are magazines dedicated to skateboarding, and riders show off their skills in competitions. Skateboarding does not require a great amount of high tech equipment or the participation of an entire team of people. It is just you and your board. The sport can be hazardous, however. A smart skateboarder should wear protective gear to prevent or minimize injury. Knee and elbow pads and a sturdy helmet are obvious equipment, but the skateboarding shoes you wear can make a big difference, too. Good skateboarding shoes not only give you protection, they can improve your riding as well. There are some specially made skateboarding shoes you might want to try, or you could just follow these guidelines and choose a pair that meet all the standards.
  • Cycling Shorts: A Riding Edge
    The Tour de France, considered by many to be the height of cycling races, has a colorful history. It actually resulted from a fight-a lawsuit between two French magazines over title rights. The loser. L'Auto, decided to do something big to generate publicity and subscriptions and landed upon the idea of a grueling race with a sizable purse for the champion. This first Tour de France in 1903 was a great success for them-subscriptions multiplied. It was not too shabby for the sport of bike racing, either!
  • Skateboards: The Evolution
    From their earliest years, the vast majority of males seem to be programmed to love anything with wheels on it. Road graders, garbage trucks, race cars-if it rolls it's fascinating. No small wonder then, that of the 18.5 million skateboarders on the planet, 74% of them are boys or young men! The first kid who attached wheels to a plank and launched himself down an incline could not have imagined what he started.
  • Bike Shorts: 21st Century Comfort
    "Get a bicycle. You will not regret it-if you live." Mark Twain
  • Gunsmithing Classes Can Lead To Exciting Careers
    Thousands of people would call themselves gun enthusiasts. They collect modern guns or weapons from a certain time in history and attend antique and modern firearms conventions. Their blood races when they see an excellent example of gun craftsmanship, and they feverishly pursue specific firearms for their collections. For all their numbers, however, not all that many have taken gunsmith training classes or thought about molding their love of firearms into a career.
  • Cycling Jerseys: A Popular Secret
    Cycling as a sport has been around for over a century. Almost as soon as bikes were first made, biking enthusiasts began challenging one another. The 1890's saw a huge surge in the popularity of racing, and the era became known as the "Golden Age of Cycling." Huge events were held in the U.S. and Europe, and nearly all large cities had a velodrome for bike races. Everyone wanted a bicycle, and this newfangled means of transportation became a major type of recreation.
  • Boat Egines Purr All Day
    A boat's engine, like anything mechanical, needs regular maintenance to keep it in optimal running condition. Not practicing boat engine maintenance invites all sorts of expensive trouble or on-the-water emergencies. Reading your engine manual, you should make a handy boat engine maintenance checklist and post it where you will see it during boating season. While most boat engine maintenance items can be done at the start or end of the season, a few things must be checked regularly. Boat engine maintenance is very little trouble, but handling engine repairs caused by neglect is a major headache.
  • Cycling Shoes Galore
    Cycling is terribly a fun. It plunges you into the fresh air, lets you see nature up close, and exposes you to the elements. Best of all, you don't need any fancy equipment. Unless you are a professional rider, you just need a bike, a helmet, some shoes, and the open road. Now, there are some bicycling clothes you can wear that reduce wind resistance or increase speed, but they're not required. For safety's safe, though, you might want to pay particular attention to your cycling shoes. Sunday riders don't need professional-grade cycling shoes, but there are some aspects of so-called "normal sneakers" that be terribly hazardous for riding. Knowing what comprises an acceptable cycling shoe can actually prevent an accident.
  • Boat Parts Need Occasional Replacement Just Like Car Parts
    Boating can be a real delight, but for responsible boat owners, it is not all fun and games. You cannot just purchase a boat, toss it in the water, and visit it on weekends with no thought to maintaining it. Like any engine, a sterndrive or inboard or outboard engine needs certain care to stay in running order.
  • Streamline Your Silhouette With Bicycle Clothes
    Biking is a fun pastime. Whether you ride for pleasure or in competition, it provides a wonderful aerobic workout and gets you outside in the fresh air. Though bicycling has been around for literally hundreds of years, only lately have we seen such attention paid to the sport. We can pretty much thank Lance Armstrong for giving biking such prominence in the United States. With its astronomical rise in popularity has come an increasing market for bicycle clothes. Racers need the technical advantages that scientifically engineered materials give, but bicycle clothes are also snapped up by casual riders and with good reason. Bicycle clothes make you more comfortable so you can enjoy your ride to the utmost.
