Alexandra Cousteau’s Expedition Blue Planet is in the midst of a 14,500-mile journey across North America to raise awareness of water issues, and this short film on the Colorado River is the first big segment of video story telling to come out of the project. It’s filled with gorgeous imagery and a smooth narrative style, [...]
Hola, peoples of the adventure planet! I’m super stoked to announce that the inaugural Adventure Life newsletter has just been launched into the ethersphere. This week’s version is a calendar of top 10 adventures for August. The subject will rotate each week between travel, gear, environment, and calendar. The travel newsletter is written by former [...]
Yours truly is, technically speaking, on vacation. Four of us are Griswolding in the ultimate adventure vehicle some 1,300 miles from home, and despite the 24/7 demands of the modern media monkey, it’s pretty sweet. Turns out there is science behind the benefits we draw from vacations, and research shows that interrupting your break like [...]
In the biggest rescue staged in Wyoming’s Teton Mountains in almost 50 years, rangers pulled 16 climbers from the Grand Teton yesterday after all were struck by lightning. A 17th climber was missing, and the search for him resumed today. Some of the climbers were struck three or four times, and there were numerous injuries [...]
“Tarp surfing is pretty much what’s going on right now.” “It’ll prett much turn a grown man into a grom and a grom into a grown man.” Nuff said…just watch. Viral viral viral.
Tarp surfing clearly has its roots in Playmobil surfing. The big questions is, how will these two radical surfing offshoots influence each other [...]
MC SpandX blew up after his sick “Performance” music video went viral, and then he himself blew up like black market Chinese fireworks. It was a classic tale of the fast and fleeting ride of fame–groupies, paparazzi, selling his soul to sell hair gel–seen through the prism of road cycling and fixed gear culture. Well, [...]
At this point, we shouldn’t need to be reminded of the negative consequences of living in a plastic world. The message should be clear. Unfortunately, it isn’t. Everywhere you look, there are more plastic bags, more plastic bottles, more indiscriminate use and trashing of a material that simply never goes away, just gets smaller and [...]
Federal investigators looking into allegations of blood doping by Lance Armstrong and the U.S. Postal cycling team have subpoenaed three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond to testify and to turn over documents related to his long and contentious tangling with Armstrong and his bike sponsor, Trek, according to a story published on the website [...]
The Periodic Table of Professional Cycling from Cyclocosm appeals on two levels. First, there’s the appreciation of the wonkish fascination with the accomplishments of men in tight shorts–and if you think that’s a diss, you should know that stage 12 of the Tour de France is playing live in another Firefox tab at I write [...]
Wow. Has this been an intrigue-filled Tour de France or what? First there was the whole Armstrong-Contador thing, the hobbles on the cobbles, Mark Cavendish’s fade followed by sprint victories, Armstrong’s collapse and multiple crashes, and now this: Australian Mark Renshaw has been tossed from the race for head-butting Julian Dean to protect Cavendish’s chance [...]
Kelly Slater’s life would appear to be as charmed as it appears to be. Last Friday, impeccably attired and with an impossibly beautiful date by his side, he threw down for some classic surf art at the silent auction of the annual Waterman’s Ball environmental fundraiser in Dana Point, California, and then accepted a lifetime [...]
Well, this will surprise no one except for Sen. James Inhofe, but pretty much every thermometer worth checking shows climbing temperatures, according to NOAA. June was the hottest ever, year-to-date 2010 is the hottest ever, and the three months of April-June were the hottest ever. June’s global average of land and sea was almost 2°F [...]
It was like a massive dump on Christmas morning–4th of July weekend brought a huge swell to Southern California beaches, and under atypically murky conditions the lemmings took to the waves. Think you can just go get pounded like that in a dictatorship? No way, baby–you need the independence of the home of the depraved. [...]
A million’s a big number. Really big. Even in this age of billionaires and tetraflops, a million of anything carries a lot bang, especially if it’s one million vertical feet climbed under your own machine-like power and a million vertical feet descended via sweat equity and the hand of gravity. Skier Greg Hill, who’s on [...]
Australian Cadel Evans, riding for Team BMC Racing and Easton, grabbed the yellow jersey and the lead of the 2010 Tour de France on Sunday, which makes for a fine excuse to tell you about the contest Easton is conducting. Each day during the Tour, Easton is giving away a wheelset based on the conditions [...]
