Flashy Flashers, Inc Case

a video of Julien Regnier: Breathtaking ...

In sports such "weird" here's "ice cross downhill" or "extreme skating downhill." 4 skaters are racing on a track longer than 300 to 400 meters in elevation, the first bottom having won. The dress resembles that of hockey. The layout, including ribs and slopes, sharp turns and jumps, reminiscent of cross snowboard or ski. The races take place in town to thousands of spectators. Spectacular!



discipline has existed for a dozen years. But the Red Bull Crashed Ice, a sort of world championship, every year is more extensive. The circuit 2011 has just begun: the first stage took place 15 days ago in Munich. Follows Valkenburg (Netherlands) on Saturday. Then Moscow on February 26 and March 19 Quebec.



Twenty nations are represented. Finns, Swedes, Canadians generally share the podium with some Czechs.

Tension Headaches More Condition_symptoms

a small square around the world



Ophelie David was a silver medalist at last night XGames in Aspen, USA (after a spectacular finish, see video below This article ... and not too serious ailments!).
It remains the "queen" of ski cross. 7 World Cups, 4 consecutive wins XGames ... to his list is huge! This is not a "failure" for the Vancouver Olympics (she was the favorite but fell in the quarterfinals) and an injury last summer (sprained delayed his training) that will stop him!
The "godmother" of Spoportivement, 34, had started his season with victory in the World Cup in Les Contamines last week. And now leading towards the World Championships in freestyle, taking place at Deer Valley Park City.
It A few days ago, Ophé had answered my questions ... p'tites


"no charms, no socks fetish! ! I would be able to forget what is the magic gesture ... and it would take me head and got mixed up before the start! Worse, imagine: I think starting ... like "flute, I did not put my bra that makes it go faster ... it's cooked right bin!"

Just before entering the ring ...

"No ritual, no war cry! But I try to remember the fluid gestures, pleasant, powerful I want to do. I place a movie of me doing everything succeed ....»


If you had a superpower ...
"I would bring out the best in people. One could, I am sure and have all the solutions to our problems. Inside us, there's bound to tolerance and altruism ... But I have no super-power, I'm just trying to be myself instead of someone good and nice, and it's not too easy! "


Where do you put away your trophies?
"My cuts are on a shelf at the top of the stairs, like" small attic. We really look up to see them. My medals are on a nail, but nail an old barn, very nice ... on the side of the library in our room, it's funny because I put them on top of each other, so they are arranged in chronological order ... "
