Steve Caballero and his custom Indian Scout Bobber. Photo: Eric Hendrikx “I used to jump my bicycle when I was a kid, wishing I had a dirt bike or a bike like Evel Knievel’s,” says Steve Caballero. The Bones Brigade professional skater took inspiration from Knievel’s iconic character, and implemented that energy into his own skateboarding career. Caballero would eventually become one of the most recognizable skateboarders of all time. But still, his craving to ride on two wheels like his hero was insatiable....

Photo: Courtesy of Reuben Krabbe/SkiBig3 Sometimes, skiers overthink things. For the past couple decades, many of us seemed bent on traveling to little-known hills … That are little-known for good reason: They’re hills that are little. Who knows why? Me, I simply can’t understand pulling four-minute-long top-to-bottoms on today’s fantastic gear, a true waste of thoroughbred boards engineered to vacuum 100 vertical feet of terrain in a single turn....

There’s no doubt about it: America (and much of the world) is becoming fatter and fatter as sedentary lives take over and processed foods continue their stranglehold on the population. In the U.S. alone, almost 37% of adults are obese, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey from 2011–2014. Those numbers aren’t getting any better—and especially not for kids. If American trends in youth obesity continue at their current rate, more than 57% of obese pre-teens will classify as obese when they turn 35, according to new Harvard research published in the New England Journal of Medicine....
Amidst the news today that Florida is getting a Kelly Slater/World Surf League wave pool is a nugget about another East Coast area looking to add a wave pool to its offerings. The Virginian-Pilot is reporting that the town of Virginia Beach, VA is currently in talks to build a wave pool using Wavegarden’s Cove technology. The wave pool would be part of a complex overhaul of the Dome oceanfront property that would also include restaurants, shopping, apartments and a live music venue....
The first one caught me off guard. I was staring beyond my kayak deck at the milky turquoise waters of Big Piney Creek in the Arkansas Ozarks. Just sort of marveling at the fact it’s here at all — a Class II-III Wild & Scenic River smack in the middle of the country. A region, fun fact, also known as the Interior Highlands. After two and half days driving across the South with my wife (one of which felt like just crossing through Atlanta), I’d hopped from truck to kayak and couldn’t believe my luck....
This story originally appeared in POWDER. Words by Jack Foersterling. Putting together skis. Photo: Courtesy of David Reddick/POWDER While you may have skied for years, decades even, on countless different pairs of skis, have you ever sat down and thought about what actually makes up those sticks you strap to your feet and send down a mountain? Every material and method used in the construction of a ski influences its personality on the snow: how stiff or flexible it is, how heavy it is, how well it can hold an edge — the list goes on....
Find yourself going outside these days and feeling that chill in the air? Of course you are. It’s the winter and it will be chilly for quite some time.

A yellow lobster discovered by a commercial lobster fisherman off the coast of Marblehead, Massachusetts, has become the latest addition to a unique collection of colorful crustaceans at the New England Aquarium. The rare catch came up in one of the lobster pots of fisherman Bill Porter, whose cousin’s sister told the Boston Globe he “didn’t know quite what to do with it.” The fisherman’s cousin did. Chris Porter owns Patriot Lobster, a seafood restaurant in Salem, and he set aside the yellow lobster to donate to the aquarium, which gladly accepted the crustacean to add to its collection....
Everyone’s favorite assassin is back—and while we’re not surprised, we’re pretty happy about it. LionsGate has officially confirmed that John Wick: Chapter 3, starring Keanu Reeves as the titular protagonist, will be released on May 17, 2019. While that’s a ways away, it’s easy to forget that Chapter 2 came out just a few months ago. The original John Wick was a surprise hit, making more than $88 million on just a $30 million budget....
A life well-lived shouldn’t be gauged by how long you live, but rather how many kickass experiences you enjoy—or so say lots of Instagram memes, anyway. All social media tropes aside, it can be tough to know when you’re really living your best life. Fortunately, some new research from the University of Portsmouth has drilled into what they call the 15 key characteristics that help people live more productive, engaged lives....
Locals and visitors flooded the streets of Grayling, Mich., last weekend to watch the 2018 AuSable River Canoe Marathon. Spectators enjoyed live music, food trucks, and a local art festival before the race, while 84 tandem canoe teams anxiously prepared to be ‘hup all night’ (‘hup’ is what canoe racers say to signal switching sides), paddling 120 miles through the night from Grayling to Oscoda. The week before the race was filled with smaller races and events leading up to the grand finale: the greatest non-stop canoe race in the U....
Often overlooked for its party-hearty brother on the Mediterranean coast, Madrid is the true heart of Spain.

I’m a bit of a hypochondriac. It’s not that I’m a germaphobe or that I run to the doctor at the slightest sign of a fever, but I have a deep fear that one day I’ll walk into a doctor’s office and hear, “I have bad news.” I’ve lost both parents to cancer and, besides my grandma, every relative on my father’s side has had cancer. I’m also a health journalist, and anyone who reads enough about disease and abnormality will naturally start to wonder when their own luck will run out....
If your tee shot equates to a 250-yard drive, you probably feel like boasting a little.

Burke’s monster swing has also made him a two-time world long-drive champ (he won the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship in 2013 and 2015) and gotten him top honors at the 2017 Long Drive World Series in Dubai....
