Disney “Phineas and Ferb” Footwear Collection

Disney “Phineas and Ferb” Footwear CollectionAs the number one animated television series among kids six to eleven years old, Disney’s Phineas and Ferb has entertained 460 million viewers all over the world. The series, which follows stepbrothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fetcher as they invent new adventures each day of their summer vacation, inspired a complete collection of etnies kids shoes for boys and girls that feature beloved characters Phineas, Ferb, Perry the Platypus (a.k.a. Agent P.), Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Candace and Isabella.

  • Disney Kids Callicut 2.0
  • Disney Kids Ronin
  • Disney Kids RVM Vulc

See the shoes!

Disney Kids Fader

Wearing the Disney Kids Fader is like taking a walk with Phineas and Ferb’s faithful pet! Created to look like Perry disguised himself as a pair of etnies shoes, the Kids Fader’s distinct teal color matches him perfectly and shows his face on the toe cap and his tail on the heel. Details include the Phineas and Ferb logo on the EVA cushioning footbed, woven label on the padded tongue and sunflower-yellow grippy gum rubber outsoles that match Perry’s platypus bill and tail.

As Phineas and Ferb’s pet platypus, there’s more to Perry than meets the eye. He leads a double life as Agent P and in the black/green Disney Kids Fader shoe he’s caught in a battle with his arch-nemesis and mad-scientist Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Chasing Dr. Doofenshmirtz around the shoe’s side panels, Agent P shoots his laser gun with every step taken in the shoes as it lights up the green LED in the logo. Special details include hits of lime green on the grippy gum rubber outsoles as well as an EVA cushioning footbed and padded tongue. Both colors of the Disney Kids Fader come in a special shoebox designed with custom artwork depicting the characters skateboarding.

Disney Kids Callicut 2.0

The Disney Kids Callicut 2.0 is all about the girl stars of the series, Candace (Phineas and Ferb’s sister) and Isabella (the boys’ friend and Phineas’ admirer). With glittery textiles in the heel and logo, bright pink highlights throughout the shoes and outlines of Candace and Isabella’s faces on the shoe tongues and upper heels, the Disney Kids Callicut 2.0 perfectly capture the girls’ feminine fashion. The shoes also have a padded tongue and collar, STI Foam Lite level 1 footbed and rubber outsole with internal EVA midsole for comfort. The shoes come in a special shoebox designed with custom artwork depicting Phineas, Ferb and Perry the Platypus skateboarding.

Disney Kids Ronin

Phineas and Ferb turn every day of their summer vacation into an adventure and the fun they have is captured on the Disney Kids Ronin. The shoes feature bright blue, orange and green splashes of color with both Phineas and Ferb excitedly bouncing and jumping across the side panels. For extra fun detail, the boys can also be seen outlined on the shoe tongues. The Disney Kids Ronin includes a padded tongue and collar, EVA cushioning footbed and a grippy gum outsole with internal EVA midsole. The shoes come in a special shoebox designed with custom artwork depicting the stepbrothers skateboarding with their pet and friend Perry the Platypus.

Disney Kids RVM Vulc

The Disney Kids RVM Vulc in black/pink is for fans of the girls on “Phineas and Ferb.” Capturing Candace (Phineas and Ferb’s sister) and Isabella’s (the boys’ friend and Phineas’ admirer) feminine personalities, the black shoes with bright pink designs and splashes of color feature images of the two girls on the shoe tongues along with their names playfully scribbled on the heels. For comfort, the shoes include a padded tongue and collar, EVA cushioning footbed and a grippy gum outsole.

The black/blue/grey Disney Kids RVM Vulc captures Agent P on one of his many missions for the O.W.C.A. (a government organization of animal spies). Intent on taking down his evil enemies, Agent P can be seen in full action performing martial art maneuvers on the shoe side panels. In addition, with his face on the shoe tongues, Agent P keeps an eye on everything as the best secret agent he can possibly be. The Disney RVM Vulc shoes also include a padded tongue, cushioning footbed and grippy gum outsole. Both colors of the Disney Kids RVM Vulc come in a special shoebox designed with custom artwork depicting Phineas, Ferb and Perry the Platypus skateboarding.

Metal Mulisha Daniel Bodin 2013 Winter X Games Update

Metal Mulisha’s Daniel Bodin of Sweden put in some serious work before attending this years 2013 Winter X Games while competing in Snowmobile Freestyle. The competition consisted of 75-second runs, in which athletes pull off as many tricks as they could on the course of kickers and jumps with gaps ranging from 70 to 120 feet.

With a stacked field of competition and competitors giving it their all, Bodin went out onto the field throwing out some massive tricks and extensions. During the end of Bodins run, he was having some issues with his ski and still went for his huge KOD Flip taking on a ski-stab nosedive fall after a huge backflip. Daniel popped right up like nothing happend after that nasty-looking fall with a 100-plus-foot jump and 500-pound sled almost taking him out. Even the ESPN X Games commentators where shocked saying “I can’t believe he got up from that.” Bodin went right into the pits started working on his sled, but he didn’t return for the second round, taking 4th place in the 2013 Winter X Games Snowmobile Freestyle competition.

Dani Pedrosa and Marc Márquez unveil 2013 MotoGP machine

Spanish stars in attendance at Campus Repsol headquarters in Madrid, for Repsol Honda Team 2013 official presentation.Campus Repsol today hosted a very special event: The unveiling of the 2013 Repsol Honda project. Riders Dani Pedrosa and Marc Márquez —the lineup for the coming season— Repsol Chairman and CEO, Antonio Brufau, and Executive Vicepresident of Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), Shuhei Nakamoto, pulled the covers off the new Honda RC213V to reveal an impactful new livery design. The event was also attended by Director General of Communication and Presidency, Begoña Elices, Dorna CEO, Carmelo Ezpeleta and President of the Royal Spanish Motorcycle Federation, Ángel Viladoms.For the 19th season, Repsol and Honda presented the bike and riders with which they will fight for the MotoGP World Championship. Dani Pedrosa and Marc Márquez will contest the 2013 campaign on a Honda RC213V that has an all-new colour scheme this year, adapting to Repsol's new corporate identity and giving prominence to a striking white.Three-time lower cylinder category World Champion and reigning MotoGP World Championship runner-up, Dani Pedrosa, joins forces with reigning Moto2 World Champion, former 125cc titlist and MotoGP debutant Marc Márquez this season. The duo form a dream combination as part of the most powerful team in the series. Repsol has backed both riders since their formative years on the world stage.Campus Repsol was designed so that those who work there can enjoy a comfortable atmosphere that facilitates their work. In the headquarters, the possibilities to promote a working culture based on innovation and transparency are used to the fullest.Dani Pedrosa: MotoGP rider    "I am very happy to have been here at Campus Repsol today, and to have been the one unveiling the bike and its new livery. We'd run with the old design for a long time and I think that now is a good moment for a change. This year's bike has a fresh touch to it, which can give us a boost at the races. I hope the fans like it too.I'm starting this preseason really keen. I can't wait to get to Malaysia and to have a few days to put the bike through its paces, enjoy myself and see which parts we are going to use for the opening race, as in the Valencia test after the last race of 2012 we had so much rain that we couldn't do much."    Marc Márquez : MotoGP rider    "I have really been looking forward to this moment. I am very happy to have presented the new colour scheme for my move up from Moto2 to MotoGP. Seeing the bike painted with the Repsol and HRC logos makes you feel very satisfied with this new step forward —it makes you realise what a dream-come-true it is. I'm like a kid with new shoes!I enjoyed the atmosphere of the presentation at Campus Repsol a lot, and I was able to see that the press attention for MotoGP is light years ahead of that for Moto2. We'll adapt to this, little-by-little. In the end, the important thing is what happens on the track, so I can't wait for the Malaysia tests to start."    Antonio Brufau : Repsol Chairman and CEO                   "The Repsol Honda Team and the MotoGP World Championship are great ambassadors of our brand, and a great showcase for Repsol's values: Teamwork, technological innovation and the spirit of taking on a challenge. These values fit perfectly with the philosophy of Campus Repsol, and make our headquarters the ideal location for this presentation. Honda are a perfect partner at the highest level of competition —a world which allows us to develop our fuels and offer a better service to our clients. We face the 2013 season with two exceptional riders and the same excitement as on day one."    Shuhei Nakamoto: HRC Executive Vice President                   "We again have a strong lineup in 2013. Dani Pedrosa had a fantastic 2012 and will start this year even more motivated. Marc Márquez is a great talent and I am sure that it will not be long before we see him on the podium. I am very happy with our new team structure and everyone in HRC will continue to work hard on the development of this bike, in order to give the riders the best chance of victory."Communication Repsol Media -www.repsolmedia.com -

Saving Energy on the Track

With heart rates constantly through the roof, moto is no doubt one of most physically demanding sports on the face of the planet.  Your heart is pumping just from the adrenaline, but throw in a rough track, huge jumps and some whoops, you will definitely work every energy system in your body.  Although it is still hot as hell down here in the Deep South (not hell, just Florida), things seem to be cooling down for the rest of the country.  However, just because it is not as hot, fatigue will creep up on you before you know.  Save yourself some pain and read on!

One of the most important things to remember is to stand up.  I know this is probably a no brainer, but some people will still ride as though the track is still smooth.  Most of the time, you will have to stand up later into corners and then get up sooner when exiting.  For rougher corners, it is even a good idea to stand up through the whole turn and look to the edges of the track for smoother lines.  Many European riders will do this because the course gets so brutal, if you sit down; your back will take all of the impact.  This is not the best idea because your back could tense up and result in some serious pain.

This next tip goes hand and hand with standing up: gripping with your legs.  I have said many times before that you will save yourself from arm pump and getting tired quickly if you squeeze the tank.  The quadriceps are large enough to take the impact from a rough course and they can handle this stress much better than your forearms and biceps/triceps.  You almost want to think of your arms as hinges to your core.  Relaxing your grip on jumps will also keep your “hinges” from cramping and pumping up too much.  To help get through extra tricky sections; you can even apply pressure to one side of the tank with your leg to help steer the bike.

If you watched the 250’s, then you saw Barcia killing it everywhere.  Other than his crazy style, he was doing something that caught my eye more than a few times during the second moto.  If you notice, he was riding on his back wheel, a lot.  The deep holes and moguls were not as bad when he could get the front wheel up.  The back wheel would just roll over the bump and the rear shock absorbs the tire’s vertical travel.  If you go through a rough section with both wheels down, it just rocks you back and forth.  I am not saying to do a full blown wheelie here, but just getting your front tire to skim or get over the rough stuff will make life much easier.  Remember that riding in a high gear will help the suspension work properly in the chop and provide you with more traction to get the front tire up.

One final tip is to just relax!  If you know that the track is rough, just accept it and ride.  When you tense up, any bump and hole you hit is sent throughout your entire body.  If your breathing is deep and even, you should be able to roll your shoulders back and ride smoother.  By your rolling them back, you can keep that attack position much easier and you open up the diaphragm for this more efficient breathing.  Like I said earlier, this is not hard stuff.  Keep it simple and remember the basics!

No more seniors at stanmore motocross track

Gold coast city council has made the decision to prevent seniors from riding at Stanmore motocross track indefinitely. The decision handed down by Senior Recreation Officer Bruce Flick bflick@goldcoast.qld.gov.au means the end of the road for a club which has operated for over 30 years catering for senior and junior motocross.

The decision also stipulates that the club could be reopened for Junior riders supporting up to 250cc bikes. One might ask why not seniors up to 250cc as a compromise if noise is the only issue. However further constraints on any future operation of the club facilities are biased towards gold coast residents over both committee and general club members who live in other outer Brisbane and Sunshine Coast districts.

The Gold Coast council is also supportive of the Gold Coast motorcycle club at Reedy Creek facility looking into town planning approval for the future use catering of the location for all bike classes.
