Keep the dirt clean, by thinking about the environment and the products your using for your recreational enjoyment. EnviroMountain sports does just that by releasing a environmentally friendly wax. Whats the big deal you say its just a little wax your put on your board every once in awhile it can’t possibly be hurting the environment.

Sick of syncing up you Ipod and Nike shoe or just want to run in peace and quiet, but still want to keep track of your running data; the Nike Sport band may be your answer. It will track your distance, pace, time and calories burned while on you run. It has a removable chip that stores up to 16 hours of running info on it. Then you can link it all up to your computer via USB, log into your nikeplus.com account you set you goals and track your progress. Double the fun by using the sports band as a watch when its not recording.
Dirtyathlete says skip this product if you already have your ipod linking up with your Nike shoes and storing all your data. If you need a new watch though and don’t jog with and Ipod this could be a pretty good solution.
The new thing seems to be putting on “recovery” work out gear after your workout. When you get done slipping on your compression tights and calf socks, think about throwing on these Nike airs for a full rejuvenation. They are designed for ultimate comfort, breathable, lightweight material helping your feet rest and recover from a long workout.
Food can be a chore with camping and dragging all the pots and pans up the mountain be a chore, thats why I’m digging this little all-in-one Jet Boil. It combines a cooking/drinking cup and a quick start burner into one unit for sweet heat transfer. Also it uses have the fuel required by a conventional stove.
