Gus Kenworthy is widely known in the ski world as being one of the most dynamic and explosive freestyle skiers in the game. Having won the silver medal in Sochi in 2014 waving the U.S. flag, and also representing the U.S. in the 2018 Games in PyeongChang, it’s no surprise that he would have his sights set on the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

What can you do with the most littered item in the world? Build surfboards. The Ciggy Board Boys are at it again, building surfboards out of horrible trash. They collected thousands of used cigarette butts off California beaches, gathered a heap of foam scraps from Marko Foam Blanks and crafted some beautiful (and fully functional) surfboards, handshaped by Travis Reynolds. And when former pro surfer and world-famous musician Jack Johnson hooked up with The Ciggy Board Boys at the Marine Debris Conference in San Diego, California last year and heard that they were in the process of building a few more boards, he invited them out to Hawaii to take the boards for a spin....

The military machine, designed to sure-footedly bounce along the tracks of a tank, was never as coveted as, say, a Lamborghini Countach or a Ferrari F40, but AM General’s boxy beast was still alluring enough to land it a spot. Unlike mid-engined Italian sports cars, the first-generation H1, released to the masses in 1992, was relatively mechanically reliable, though a loud, rough ride combined with few creature comforts meant driving was a masochistic endeavor....

I was an avid mountain biker through college. After taking some time off, I enthusiastically picked it back up after moving to Bend, Oregon, two years ago. It’s taken a couple seasons to get my legs back and learn the local trails, and I’ve spent enough time in the saddle to realize I could use some help with my technique. Photo: Ninja Mountain Bike Performance In an effort to take my riding to the next level, I signed up for a women’s fundamental skills class through Ninja Mountain Bike Performance, a bike instruction group offering clinics throughout the U....
