No one needs to tell you the benefits of getting outside—you can feel them for yourself when filling your lungs with a gulp of crisp mountain air and breaking a sweat scrambling over rocks and tree limbs. Studies show that just walking outside can lower your risk of mental health issues, and that getting even a little bit of sun can lead to a surge in endorphins (those feel-good hormones)....
Squeezing in a gym session on your lunch hour is tight as it is — forget about the whole showering thing.

For many of us, simply getting on your feet at all on wakeskate is an incredible feat. The binding-less cousin of wakeboarding isn’t quite as mainstream as most board sports, but its awesome blend of wakeboarding and skateboarding offers up so many possibilities of maneuvers to try and unorthodox locales to shred. And earlier this week, Red Bull dropped one of the most unique edits we’ve seen in a while. Featuring a couple of the best wakeskaters on the planet—Zuzana Vrablova and Brian Grubb—the crew beautifully documented one of the most breathtaking spots we’ve ever seen: Lençóis Maranhenses National Park in Brazil....

When the redesigned Fat Bob premiered in the fall of 2017, it was the breakout star of Harley-Davidson‘s new lineup of motorcycles. Its tough street style, with matte paint, rectangular LED headlamp, fat tires, and stubby fenders, resonated with everyone from millennials to baby boomers, from zealots to newbies.
