If you've ever cycled, you know how much the wind can affect your ride, especially if it's blowing hard on your chest. Then you feel like you can't move. Well, the participants of the Volta a La Marina stage race in Spain didn't just have that feeling, as a hurricane wind literally stopped them in the middle of the road! And the organizer was forced to stop the race for safety reasons.

Adrenaline enthusiasts from Trbovelj sent the Hillstrike Snowtrike to Kickstarter, which is supported by mountain bikers Matic Hribar, Janez Forte, Jaša Kofol and Rok Prašnikar. With the tricycle, they want to bring the mountain bike experience to white fields and extend the mountain biker season into winter. The Hillstrike Snowtrike is lightweight and durable and has no real competition in the world.
Why drag a sled or a sled when you can think of a wearable sled, a special sled attachment that you can walk with without it hindering you in any way or occupying your hands. The project, presented on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, is marketed not only as a leisure product, but also as a helper when you are caught in a blizzard and need to make a quick retreat. Knee skating has never been so much fun!
The women's ski jumping elite returns to Ljubno on Valentine's weekend, as Ljubno ob Savinja hosts the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup for women for the fifth time on February 13 and 14, 2016 (Ljubno 2016). This time the girls will fight on a new ski jump. Do you already have tickets for the women's showjumping festival?
In 2014, Becky Hammon was already plowing the fallow land in the North American NBA basketball league, when she became a full-fledged member of the professional staff of head coach Gregg Popovich. The first female assistant coach of an NBA team is now on her way to a new milestone. She will join the coach of the San Antonio Spurs team at the All-Star game, where the famous coach Ostrog will lead the western team.
During the activity, many people wear a cap with a visor, and at the same time have headphones in their ears. Why not combine the two? We've already been overtaken with the idea by SmartGear US, which offers a stylish Bluetooth visor cap with a built-in music player that can wirelessly stream music from your smartphone.
At CES 2016, Under Armor unveiled the Gemini 2 sneaker, a sneaker equipped with sensors that measure physical activity. At first glance, they are indistinguishable from other sneakers and could easily be mistaken for any sports shoe on the market. But mini sensors are hidden in their soles that measure distance, path and calories burned, making sports and smart watches and smartphones redundant during physical activity.
Planica 2016 will take place from Thursday, March 17, 2016, when the qualifications will be held, until Sunday, March 20, 2016, when the curtain will fall on the 2015/16 season in ski jumping with an individual competition. The program will be very varied, and the Slovenian jumpers, led by Peter Prevec, with their exceptional performances, are the best possible invitation to Ponce, where a new sports holiday awaits us. Last year in Planica we saw three Slovenian victories and a heartbreaking playoff, and although it seems that this cannot be surpassed in terms of emotional charge, we can expect an unprecedented spectacle in 2016 as well. Tickets are already on sale.
In fitness, we meet different profiles of people. From attention seekers, biceps and bench types, nudists, trumpeters, "campers", geeks and quasi-personal trainers, junkies, teenagers who spend most of their time taking selfies and bragging about themselves on social networks, to cardio junkies and posers. To help you imagine what we're talking about, watch a parody of the types of people who go to the gym. Laughter guaranteed!
After Primož Peterka, Peter Prevc became the second Slovene to win the big crystal globe and the New Year's jumping tour, thus placing a golden eagle in his showcase. Prevc is also the Slovenian record holder for the number of victories, and he has already decided twenty-one individual matches in his favor, fifteen in the 2015/16 season alone. With him as three-time Slovenian athlete of the year, Slovenia is celebrating its hero, who is rewriting jumping history. We present to you all the victories of Petr Prevac.
The Golden Fox 2016 is getting closer, and Alpine skiers will apply for the Golden Fox title on January 30 (VSL) and 31 (SL) 2016. The Slovenian skiing holiday under Pohorje will pass without Tina Maza this time (but only in a competitive sense, as she will be on the track as an expert commentator), which is no reason for us to lack reasons to cheer, as the rest of the Slovenian girls this year showed excellent performances in technical disciplines, so at the 52nd Zlata Lisica we can also hope for top rankings of domestic competitors. As always, in addition to skiing under Pohorje, it will also be lively along the track. The complete program of the 52nd Golden Foxes is published below.
Avalanche backpacks with airbags are nothing new. They quickly became a mandatory part of the equipment of all touring skiers and hikers. The North Face Modulator ABS allows you to turn any backpack into a guardian angel on your back. Avalanche backpacks are proven to save lives and significantly increase the chance of survival in the event of an avalanche, as they keep a person on the surface.
