Ski Logik Review

Ski Logik Review

Last Spring, I had the chance to demo some handmade Ski Logik Front Burner’s from the Sports Exchange in Truckee, CA. With the limited snowfall curtailing my sidestash activities, it was the perfect time to have some front side fun and get on a pair of real carving skis. > > Read More

How To Say Good Bye

Budfits Earphone Holder Review Follow Up

Budfits Earphone Holder Review Follow Up

So it has been over a year since I reviewed the Budfits earphone holders from Innovelis. I am still using them regularly and am happy with their performance. The soft plastic is still plyable and not brittle and they are still the same opaque-ness that they were when I first un-packaged them. They have not yellowed [...] Related posts: Budfits Earphone Holder Review Upcoming Reviews: Contour, Budfits, Reef Sandals & Hobie Sunglasses Hobie Surfrider Polarized Sunglasses Review

Crank Brothers Candy 2 Clipless Pedal Review

Crank Brothers Candy 2 Clipless Pedal Review

After buying my new mountain bike recently, I decided to get some new pedals as well. In my un-illustrious biking career, I have really only used the tried and true Shimano SPD variety of clipless pedals. So I figured new bike means I should get new pedals. Knowing that there are plenty of different pedal [...] No related posts.
