Most of us remember the story of Aron Ralston, the young adventurer whose arm became pinned under a boulder while cayoneering in the backcountry of Utah in 2003. After realizing that there was no help forthcoming, he was forced to amputate his lower right arm using a pocketknife. The trailer to 127 Hours is a sneak peek to the big screen adaptation of this survival story. Ralston is portrayed by James Franco and the movie is directed by Danny Boyle, the Academy Award Winning Director (Best Achievement in Directing) of Slumdog Millionaire. The movie is set to release on November 5, 2010.

As bicycle commuters, we see a need for durable, versatile, and practical commuting gear.

We, then, took upon ourselves to develop our own line of gear that we believe is the best out there.
Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota is an impressive sight, but it’s even more impressive when you’re ON the sculpture! Each June, Crazy Horse Memorial and the Black Hills Volkssport Association offer a volksmarch to the top of the sculpture. This is the only time when the public is welcome to view the Crazy Horse sculpture up close. The volksmarch is a family friendly event and draws thousands of visitors and locals. The term volksmarch literally means, “walk of the people” and that is exactly what the Crazy Horse Volksmarch is. It truly is a wonderful experience!
