Sidecar-cross

0 comments


Interesting picture of two guys flaying with their motorcycle over the ground. Look how the passenger is standing out of the sidecar. It is crucial for the motorcycle that he doesn't flip over. In sidecar cross the driver cannot lean over in turns, because of the side car, so the passenger must do it instead. The race is the same like in the solo motorcycling. they are driving in mud and jumping over the bumps. In some turns passenger must lean so much out, that he touches the ground with his back. I would very much like to try this sport. Would you?


Base jumping

Look at this base jumper flaying over the Frankfurt city in Germany. Isn't this a beautiful view? It is beautiful for us, but I wonder is it for him? How do you feel in that moment? Heart is pumping, the adrenalin is at the highest level, blood wants to get out of his body. You have to be really brave to do this kind of thing. You are jumping from a building or a tower, or a high bridge, and you have only one parachute, no spare, and only few seconds. What do you think in a moment like that? You'll say something like Shakespeare's Hamlet: To be or not to be, take a deep breath and jump!

Wien

400 days before UEFA European Championship in Austria and Switzerland 7000 thousand children, all dressed in white, made a logo of Wien, one of the home cities. From this point of seeing it doesn't look like there are people standing there and making this possible. I would say that those are some flowers or something like that. But children are there, and it is really impressive. I'm wondering how much practising did they have. Surely a lot.
Austria and Switzerland are the first countries that are sharing UEFA European Championship. Korea and Japan were first to do that with the World Championship. And this kind of thing is going on. 2012. Ukraine and Poland are hosts of the European Championship. I think it is a really good thing. It is improving for neighbours relationship and visitors can see two countries instead of one. So, see you in Austria and Switzerland!!

These days was Jack Nicholson's birthday. Because he is L.A. Lakers devoted fan and he doesn't miss a game when he is not shooting a movie, the club made him a surprise. A birthday cake in a shape of Staples Centre, Lakers home terrain. Pretty cheerleaders gave him a cake, and he surely gave them a joke since they are smiling. Jack is a familiar joker in Hollywood. He is the only actor that have received three Academy awards, Oscars. To me, he is the greatest actor ever. So happy birthday to Mr. Jack Nicholson!!


Bullfighting

Can you call this a sport or not? Some say it is and some say it isn't. I sure think it is on the edge. The matadors, men who fight to bull, must be in good shape and they must have certain skills to defeat the bull. So, they are sure preparing themselves like every professional sport player. But they are killing an animal. Is that a sport? You have to decide for yourself. In the mean time here is something about bullfighting. Bullfighting comes originally from Spain where is called corrida de toros or tauromaquia. Portugal also has his own version and there is called corrida de touros or tauromaquia. Similar, but different. There is also some variations in rules and traditions. The matador provokes the bull with the red cape and tires him off. They are playing with the bull and that is how they are entertaining the crowd. Then picadors enter the arena on heavily padded and blindfolded horses and stab the bull in the neck with the sword. I'll say it is brutal.








There is another way of bullfighting. That is when the two bulls are fighting each other.




Sport sand sculptures

Look at this F1 bolide made out of sand. I can not believe this! How do they do it? This is made in Bahrein before the race. They say that for doing a sand sculpture you need only two ingredients, sand and water. But i think that they are putting something in that sand. How can they do it only with sand and water?!? In the sequence are some more pictures of sport sand sculptures.
