Did you happen to see Darren Berrecloth’s uninterrupted ride down a steep arid mountain ridge in Utah?

Very cool!

It first aired on Discovery Channel’s Stunt Junkies Feb. 1st, 2006. But I notice they are replaying that episode frequently where I live.

Berrecloth is widely considered to be the top mountain bike freerider on extremely steep and technical terrain.

From Discovery Channel:

Bike Magazine’s 2004 “Rider of the Year,” Canadian Darren “Bearclaw” Berrecloth has spent the last few years radicalizing the already extreme sport of freeride mountain biking. His signature spins, hand grabs and no-hands seat grabs have redefined the sport and earned him tons of accolades in the biking world.

Highly recommended is the summer gym camp owned and operated by two Olympians, John Macready and John Roethlisberger. Great guys, great staff. They know how to have fun.

Coach of 2006 NCAA repeat champions Georgia Gym Dogs, Suzanne Yoculan, reportedly earns $220,000 a year.

Good for her.

Georgia is the most successful women’s team in US College history, after Utah.

The new Beatles show which I knew as “Le Boys” previews June 2 in Vegas.

A cast of 60 international artists. Using the master tapes at Abbey Road studios. A custom-built theatre at The Mirage featuring 360Ëš seating, panoramic video projections and surround sound.

Sounds like a huge hit to me.

You can see the full video clip of stuntman Vladimir Telovski on his website — it’s from a Craftsman Tools commercial for Sears.

The best website for settling those arguments about who won what at major international gymnastics competitions.

The boys from Calgary, Canada are on a roll.

They won the Commonwealth Games last month. And now stepped up to defeat the States, China and Korea at Pacific Alliance in Hawaii. That’s a first.

CONGRATULATIONS!

In fact, they were only 0.2 away from Olympic Champions Japan. (They need to improve Rings.)

History in the making! Silver medal for the Men’s Team at the Pacific Alliance Championships

Olympic Floor champion Kyle Shewfelt reminded the world that he is still the man to beat. He brought home gold on Floor and Vault. In fact, Canada and China split the available individual gold medals.

The second annual Alberta Gymnastics Rec Retreat was a blast. People who love recreational gymnastics are some of the most fun, most energetic, I know.

The whole weekend was super. But the most memorable part was not my presentation on Coach Team Building. It was the high ropes course.

At the Gymnastics Alberta annual retreat for recreation leaders, coaches were asked to climb a wobbly telephone pole and jump for a slippery trapeze.
