Torker LX 20 Inch

Sports & Outdoors  Tagged , , , No Comments »
Torker LX 20 Inch I bought this unicycle last summer specifically to learn on. For the price, this uni just can’t be beat. I’ve put this uni through absurd amounts of abuse (I’ve had it almost nine months now), and the only damage is completely superficial damage to the seat protectors. I’ve gone from unable to ride to about a level 3 unicyclist on this uni, and can’t recommend this model enough. So long as you’re not looking to do any trials/muni type tricks, this unicycle is wonderful. I consider it the perfect entry level unicycle, and now recommend it to all my friends looking to pick up the skill.

2008 Torker Unistar CX Unicycle 24"

If you are inspired to ride, this is a good sturdy Uni for the price.

I think this is a great learning unicycle and fine for short commutes. If you want to ride for many miles you will probably want a larger wheel, like the Coker. This one has a comfortable seat and is pretty speedy. It’s taken the abuse of my learning period quite well.

I am 5′4″ and the 24 inch is a perfect size. I usually ride with the seat only one inch higher than the lowest setting. a 20 inch wheel is the ‘free style’ size, but i imagine I will be able to do tricks with the 24. It was only intimidating for the first few hours.

Torker LX 24 Inch Unicycle

Torker LX 24 Inch Unicycle Ok, I got this in February of 04, it is May of 04 now and I can ride fairly well. First off, if you have ever contemplated learning how to unicycle- GO FOR IT- I can’t describe how much fun this is and how rewarding it is to be able to do it at all.

Second- there is this crazy growing community of unicyclists out there doing trails, trials, jumps, gaps, and freestyle stuff out there. Check out unicyclist.com to chat with them and take a look at the pics and videos in the gallery. Unicycles are for more than clowns and jugglers!

Anyway. this is probably the cheapest starter uni I would go with. It should last me a year or so before I want something beefier for off-road- and there are great choices out there for that kind of stuff, just not carried by amazon.com yet. Also, you can get away with putting a bigger tire on this for off-road- I switched out the stock 24X1.75 tire for a 24X2.1 schwinn stingray tire, and my guess is that a 24X2.3 would still clear the frame.

Torker Unistar CX Unicycle, 24", Chrome and in colors

The wheel is small so this is for beginners or small children. They will learn quickly and will not last too long as they will want to go the next size up. Larger wheel means less pedalling. Having known that I would have gone with 24″ wheel right away.
Overall, great construction, but have to assemble. Great project for 10 year olds though…great opportunity to spend time with your kid.

Seventh Generation Paper Towels Review

Grocery  Tagged , , No Comments »
Seventh Generation Paper Towels, White, 2-Ply Sheets, 3-Count Packages (Pack of 10) I love these paper towels. They are a little rougher than the commercial towels, but I actually feel that they pick up messes better because they are rougher. I like the fact that they are recycled, and I haven’t had any trouble tearing them off at the perforations. I also haven’t needed to use more of the natural paper towels to clean up messes. Really, the change over to these towels has been very painless, as I don’t notice much of a difference, but these are recycled, so that makes me happy.

Tippmann 98 Custom Pro Basic w/ A.C.T. (Anti-Chop Technology)

Tippmann 98 Custom Pro Basic w/ A.C.T. (Anti-Chop Technology) This gun is a very good all-over marker. Tippmann makes some of the most durable markers, which is also the reason why many paintball places rent out Tippmann marker. This marker is no exception. I played 2-3 hour, shot over 1000 paintballs(in that one hour, and yeah i know its a waste of paintballs but its fun), and not even one of them broke in the marker. I also have another marker that a friend borrowed. He broke about 20 paintballs the few hours we played(this was not a tippmann marker!).

This gun is a very good choice for players that want to mainly play woodsball but also try speedball. For only speedball, you might want to consider another tippmann marker or a maker with better bps(balls per second), but i will highly recommend that you get your marker with ACT(Anti Chop Technology). With ATC you dont break paintballs as easily as you do without when you play.

Tippmann 98 Custom PowerPack w/ A.C.T. (Anti-Chop Technology) This was given as a gift, but unfortunately the Tippmann 98 Custom didn’t arrive with all it’s accessories. It was missing the butt plate. Amazon did send another box but unfortunately that same piece was missing in the second one as well. Amazon did make it right for us and did offer a full refund if we returned it. (We opted for a refund of the cost of a butt plate plus shipping. Be aware of missing parts.

TIPPMANN Collapsible Stock Kit (For A-5 Paintball Markers)

Sports & Outdoors  Tagged , , , No Comments »

TIPPMANN Collapsible Stock Kit (For A-5 Paintball Markers) This collapsible stock is an excellent product when considering the quality and appearance. However, using the M4 stock on a paintball gun modeled after an H&K MP5 sub-machinegun does not work as the stock is too high for comfortable alignment of your eyes to the sights. If you can raise the line of sight with a red dot electronic sight or something of that nature then this accessory would be just fine. This stock does clear a 20 ounce tank.

TIPPMANN A-5 Paintball Marker

This gun is amazing i got it 2 replace my old spyder sonic. Its is simply devastating!!!. I tricked it out with a 14′inch barrel (flatline barrels are inaccurate) and it is the most amazing thing. Only down side is the cyclone feed hopper system uses CO2 so u need a 20-32 oz tank min. It is also pretty robust its never jammed before and has taken several direct hits its just fine.

Prince F3 Vision Squash Racquet I’m getting started on the sport and this entry level racket has a bunch of the latest technology on it. Seems to have the perfect weight, survived to harsh wall encounters and gets a lot of compliments from the more experienced players on the club.
