Feedback Sports to Ride Tomac Bikes for 2009

Feedback Sports is proud to announce that the team will be riding Tomac bicycles in 2009. It's a partnership we are pretty excited about. I mean, come on, John Tomac is a MTB racing legend, so just being associated with his bike company is amazing. But it is a lot more than that. About half the team members had a chance to throw a leg over Tomac's Carbide XC and Type-X bikes recently, and we all

The Game Continues

With some games played and still more left to be played, this year's championship league seems to witness a new name to win the league title. Last year's league title holder ManU has not performed so well in this league while its opposition teams like Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are doing well and has captured the top three position in the league table.

They are doing well and has astounded all the big teams by defeating some of the well known and strong teams. Best of luck for them.

Whatever be the result and whoever may be the winner of the league title, the thing that has attracted every football lovers that they are getting to watch great football competition and every football team is giving their best to give this competition a new dimension.

Best of luck for all the teams.

English Premiership Leage 2008 Begun

ManUtd clinched the last year's league title. Can they bring the same result this year and make a hattrick?

With few games played, this years league seems a tough one. Of course the major teams has won their games, but ManU has started this season's league with a draw. Leagues history has shown that every time ManU started its league with a draw they have won the league title. Will the history repeats again this time? Will ManU make a hattrick? or Some other team sweeps the title away from ManU? All this questions will surely be answered at the end of the league. But till then we can enjoy watching the game and support our team.

Happy Watching the Premiership League and best of luck for your respective teams.

Much of the Feedback Sports team was in Eldora for the Saturday short track race; but Jerry, Heather, and Scott made is up to Winter Park for the Mountain Top Circuit Race. This brand new course is a real mountain biking course - lots of rocks, roots, twisty tight single track descending, and some borderline bushwhacking thrown in for good measure. After the race I heard quite a few stories

Right Guard Open-Shaun White

Welcome back, Mr. White. After missing the first stop of the 2008 AST Dew Tour with an ankle injury, 2007 AST Dew Cup champ Shaun White came back to Cleveland to reclaim some glory.

“I’m loving Cleveland right now,” says White, minutes after edging out Bucky Lasek and Andy Macdonald to win the 2008 Right Guard Open Skate Vert Finals. “Last time I was here I won, and there’s something about coming back to this place that just feels good.” 

In Skate Vert Finals, each skater gets three 45-second runs, but if you fall even once in the run it’s over. Falls from White and most of the top riders made for a lot of shuffling in the standings, but White put full 45-second runs in his 2nd and 3rd attempts, ruling the day with a score of 92.00 for a run with an alley-oop caballaerial heelflip, a frontside gay twist revert, a 720, and back-to-back 540 variations including a frontside stalefish 540 and a frontside rodeo 540 at the buzzer.

“Honestly it’s really hard,” says White. “You fall one time and you’re out, and that was the hardest thing for me coming from snowboarding to skateboarding. The board gets away from you and it’s over. It’s that easy to fall. At the level these guys are skating at, it’s amazing if you can even put a full run down.”

Bucky Lasek claimed 2nd place with a Run 1 score of 88.25, scoring big points for a stylish indy grab 360, a nollie flip mute grab, an off-axis backside 540, a gay twist, and a new trick he unveiled last month: The frontside boneless 540, planting his foot on the coping before spinning. 

Andy Macdonald was one of the only skaters to make it through all three runs without falling, and his Run 2 score of 87.25 held up for 3rd place: 540 varial McTwist, 720, kickflip Indy grab, lein frontside rodeo 540, nollie heelflip indy grab… This vert veteran is still an innovator and is one of the most consistent skaters in vert competition.

“It’s such an honor to stand on a podium with Bucky Lasek and Andy Macdonald,” says White. “Those guys were like gods to me when I was younger and watching all of this and wanting a piece of it, and now we’re all friends. It’s such a cool thing to be on a personal level with the people you’ve always looked up to.

With a win in Baltimore at the Panasonic Open and a 2nd place finish here in Cleveland, Lasek is the current leader in the overall Dew Cup points race. White says schedule conflicts mean he will miss other events this season, and says he’s looking forward to seeing each of his skate heroes battle it out in his absence. 

“I’ve been working pretty hard and I’ve had a lot of really fun opportunities lately,” says White. “It’s all happening at once, but I’m just letting it flow.”

The Game is Over

Finally, the game is over. ManU after beating Wigan Atheletic by 2-0 has clinched this years english championship league title for consecutive year. On the other hand Chelsea were held in a 1-1 draw with Bolton, leaving Chelsea in the second place of the league. With one game left to play, they both had equal points, but ManU winning their last game took the league title with them. Had Wigan defeated ManU or held them in draw and Chelsea defeated Bolton, then Chelsea would have taken the title. But luck favored the football giant ManU and they won the title for the 17th time.

With this result it has been proved that ManU is still the football giant in English premier league and other team need to work hard to get ahead of ManU.

ManU and Chelsea, WHO Will WIN The TITLE?

ManU and Chelsea both are vying for the championship title. With a couple of match to be played they both are leading the table with 81 points each, with ManU ahead in goal difference. ManU are looking in great form although they have started the season with draws and losses. Their key players like Ronaldo, Rooney are fit and they are likely to strike back again by winning the league title for successive year. But Chelsea are not letting their hope for winning the title fall short. They are trying their best to snatch the title from ManU. Both the teams at present stage is in good form and nobody can predict who will win the title. Yet their fans can pray and hope that their respective team will win the title.

Arsenal are hard to defeat

There is only one team in this seasons football premiere league which is real threat to ManUtd. The team is Arsenal. Arsenal having played lots of games are defeated just once and they have also got the fighting spirit. They don't succumb to defeat early and fight till the end of the game. They are fast in their game and their attacking is marvellous. So, if ManU wants to win the league title this season too then they have to improve their techniques and style so that they don't get defeated from weaker teams and stand as a threat to Arsenal.
