Off Road Safety Gear for Your Child

Your child’s life is precious to you. You have worked hard to get him/her where he/she is today. Some of you have worked two jobs, long hours, given your money, time and talents on the sports fields, cheer leading, football, soccer, Little League, basketball, and hockey, served as Scout Leaders, taught Sunday Schools, and supported school and parent organizations. This list does not touch the hours, sweat, tears and worry you have in this child. Now he has his first motorized vehicle. How can you protect him as he embraces “man and machine?” We can help you at http://www.agelessparlor.com  Your child’s safety is important to us.

Riding machines mastery becomes boy, girl against machine and elements. They are more than a fun toy. They are serious fun and must be treated as such. They are dangerous to your child’s life. If this machine is your passion or your child’s passion, get prepared with the best safety precautions out there.

The first thing to consider is your child’s head. Protect his head with a good sound quality DOT* Motocross helmet with a good fit.

How to find his size? Please use a cloth tape to take your measurement. It is better to have a helper do the measuring in order to get a more accurate measurement. The circumference of the head should be measured at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows, or at whatever point gives the largest possible measurement. If you find that your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the smaller size. 

 A proper fitting DOT* helmet is critical to the comfort and enjoyment of your helmet. It also plays a critical role in the performance of your helmet in the event of a collision.

Never or wear a motorcycle, motocross helmet without making sure you have a proper snug fit (not too tight, and not too loose – just right!) There are several methods and tricks to size a motorcycle helmet. We recommend the following method:

A. Measure: Consult sizing chart for that brand. Different brands have different charts. 

B. Not too tight: Once you have the new motocross helmet in hand, put the helmet on by grasping the sides in each hand and pulling it on over your ears until you feel the top portion of the helmet touch. Check for the following red flags: A. The helmet immediately feels too tight. B. Your head does not touch the top of the motorcycle helmet. C. You can’t pull the helmet down over your ears. D. It’s painful in any way. If any of these apply, you probably need the next size larger.

C. Not too loose: Once you have found a helmet that feels comfortable and snug, you must make sure that it is not too loose. To do this, securely fasten the chin

strap, grasp the helmet chin bar or sides firmly with one hand and try to move the helmet from side to side and up and down. If the helmet slides on your skin and hair, it is too large. If your scalp and skin want to move with the helmet, the fit is about right.

D. Just Right: One final check. Reach back to the back of the helmet and try to rotate the helmet as far down and forward as possible. Then do the same as far backward as possible. If the helmet feels as if it might slide off in either direction, the helmet is either too big or the chin strap was not securely fastened.

Congratulations! If you passed these tests, you now have a properly fitting helmet that will maximize safety and minimize wind noise as well! Check out our sizing charts http://www.agelessparlor.com/sizing_charts_for_leather.htm

The next thing to consider is your child’s eyes. Buy goggles. Protect your child’s eyes. We offer a free pair of goggles with each motocross youth helmet purchased. We feel that strongly about this safety feature. Goggles should have an adjustable strap, have an optical quality that promotes distortion free lens with slopes to reduce glare. Meet or exceeds Z87.1-68 requirements set forth by OSHA for safety.

 Another Important thing to consider is your child’s chest.  Chest protectors are a must to protect your child’s chest from limbs and flying rocks. We sell a quality line of chest protectors in today’s new light weight designs.  Check out our new fun site: http://helmetsforfun.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=11&zenid=0016e8495025bb15a9bd255e3c695738  Our chest protectors are made of high impact resistant polycarbonante and provides a high level of comfort and protection. This chest protector shields against dirt and debris while off-road riding, which includes Motocross and ATVs. It will not protect against street riding impacts. Its shape conforms to a rider’s back, superior roost deflection, bio foam padded edges, quick adjustable arm guards, fully adjustable front and rear shoulder attachments for custom fitting, dual density shoulder padding, two piece back panel, and secure side release closure buckles.

Last and not least protect your child with a good machine. Be sure this is a fine tuned well running machine. No Matter your choice, dirt bike, ATV, Snowmobile, used, new or rented, make sure this machine has been checked out by a qualified mechanic.

You’ve done what you can. You have outfitted him in the best gear, You had the machine checked out. You gave him the rules you can live by and the consequences for the breaking of those rules. You’ve taught him to respect other’s property and ask before he rides on someone else’s land or woods. Now the challenge is to let him go try to master the machine. He can!

Amazing (Indoor) Basketball Trick Shots!

An American History of Basketball

The original beginning of the popular game of basketball has always been open to debate. Possibly missionaries in China invented it or the game could have just evolved from other ball orientated games. In the late 19th Century basketball had many similarities to team handball. Team handball required two teams of seven players to attempt to score by trying to throw a ball into a goal on the ground.

Around 1891 a Canadian minister working as one of the staff in a college for young professionals began to develop the sport of basketball. He was wondering what indoor sporting activity the students could practice to keep themselves fit and healthy in the wintertime. After researching various indoor sports that were around at the time suitable for a gymnasium he came to the conclusion he would be better off devising his own sporting activity.

He gathered together two peach baskets and wrote down a few basic rules. The peach baskets were nailed 10 feet high on opposite ends of the gym and he used sacks for nets. The students originally played with soccer balls and had to poke the ball out of the peach basket every time the ball went in.

On January 20th 1892 the players walked out onto court for the first Official Basketball game. The game was played in a YMCA gym on a court that was half the size of a regular modern day Basketball Court. Women also began to play the sport in the same year, as the sport was gaining popularity. As the early years went by the game rules were changed and refined into modern day rules. Initially the YMCA popularised the game of basketball but as it became more popular it attracted more rowdy crowds and occasional rough behaviour from the players, so it was slightly discouraged from the missions.

A brown ball was later used to replace the longstanding soccer ball. It was not until the 1950s that an orange ball was introduced to the game. This was designed with more bounce, and an increased visibility to the players and spectators. The game was now becoming very popular with its enthusiastic supporters. The art of dribbling the ball was then introduced, almost as a by-product of having an extra bouncy ball. Today basketball can be added to the list of games played world wide. It is also a game invented by North Americans, and to many an integral part of American culture.

Learn About Some Basketball Shots

Basketball is a sport played by 2-5player teams. The aim is to score points by putting a ball through a hoop 10 feet above the ground. Basketball has increased in recognition over the years and is now one of the most common sports worldwide. Various techniques used in basketball include dribbling, shooting and passing. There are several various shooting techniques used in basketball to gain points, let us look at a couple essential ones.

A layup is a shot which is performed by leaping from under the net, pushing the ball up close to the basket and tipping it over the rim and into the basket with one hand. Otherwise the ball may be bounced off the backboard instead and into the basket. All moves involving this kind of one-handed reach and motion is called a layup and is considered the most fundamental shot in basketball.

Basically there are 2 sorts of layups, the underarm layup and the over arm layup. Although there are several various kinds of layups, they all fall into one of these 2 categories.

An undefended layup is a greatly successful shot and is when the ball handler manages to get up to the basket without a defender going up also to try to block him off. The major obstacle in making a layup shot is going around the blocks of the taller defenders as such if the shot is unblocked it will surely be more successful.  
A slam dunk which is possibly the most recognized of all basketball shots is simply a layup done by a player tall enough to reach over the rim of the basket, who then drops or slams the ball into the basket from above instead of just tipping it over the rim. A safer layup is done by holding the ball in both hands as opposed to only one and taking 2 steps to the basket.

The finger-roll is a type of underarm layup which entails the use of the wrist and the fingers to ‘lay’ the ball in the basket. The movement of the wrist and fingers causes the ball to rotate and roll around the rim before falling into the basket.

A jump shot is another popular basketball move where the player jumps straight up and throws the ball while in mid-air into the basket. The jump shot is thought to be the simplest long-range shot and has the benefit of being difficult for a defender to block however, taller defenders will make it a hard move to carry out. A variation of the jump shot is a turnaround jump shot in which a player spins in mid-air to make the shot

Another basketball shot is the bank shot which relies on the backboard for putting the ball into the basket. It is primarily used in mid-range jump shots. The purpose of the bank shot is to hit the backboard at an angle which slows the ball down and increases the possibility of it falling through the basket.

Motocross and dirt bike racing is as popular as ever, all over the world. Let’s take a look at the many different types of motocross racing that are popular these days:

Freestyle

Freestyle motocross is sometimes also known as FMX. The main difference between freestyle and regular motocross is that riders try to gain points from judges based upon tricks that they perform. Tricks may include the 360, backflip, underflip, frontflip, carolla, scorpion, tsunami and sidewinder, among dozens of other tricks. There’s also different types of landings and take-offs. One handed, no handed, side saddle, you name it. Famous freestyle motocross riders include Carey Hart and Mike Metzger.

Supermoto

This type of motocross racing began in the 1970’s as a fun side project for motocross racers. Supermoto is a type of race where motocross bikes that are meant to ride on dirt are modified so that they can compete on pavement, as well as dirt. The track for a Supermoto race consists of both dirt and pavement. The bikes must have special tires with specific types of grooves that can handle both pavement and dirt tracks during the same race.

Enduro

Enduro is a type of off-road race with different challenges and obstacles included. There’s often several stages and the bikers race against the clock in a timed trial as well.

Trials Motocross

This is a more straightforward type of time trial race. Motocross bikers race on a dirt track and they are timed. So instead of tricks or jumps, the focus of the race is purely to get the best time or to beat the best time.

Hill Climb

A hill climb motocross event is exactly as it sounds. Riders must go up a hill and try to get the fastest time. In some cases, the race may be to see who gets the farthest up the hill in a certain amount of time. Hill climb motocross is also called hillclimbing.

Supercross

Generally, supercross is a term used to describe an event, usually taking place in a large stadium, fairgrounds or arena that has installed an artificial and temporary dirt track. The track would consist of jumps as well as obstacles. The type of motorcycle used is a very high performance, specially outfitted bike made specifically to handle the high jumps and sharp turns that are typical of the event. Recently, there have been events that used temporary tracks that were modified to take place in smaller arenas such as basketball and hockey arenas.

ATV Quad Motocross

This type of motocross is not for motorcycles but for ATV’s or Quads, also called All Terrain Vehicles. The bike has four wheels and special frames and tires that are built for dirt racing.

Sidecarcross

This sport with a funny name is also called sidecar motocross. A sidecar is attached to the bike where a passenger will stand. The passengers job during the race is to provide a counterweight. The sport has declined in popularity in recent years, however.

VMI Basketball Court Recycled For Green House – Part 3 of 3

Basketball Jerseys-Some Of the Most Popular Ones

The NBA holds the most highly skilled players in the game of basketball and because it is known worldwide even basketball kits adds to the awesome revenues that the NBA gets. The popularity of the league extends not only on the hard-court but it is even integrated in the world of music specifically rap and hip hop music. Hip hop fashion shows a basketball uniform included with your usual baggy pants and bandanas.

Going back to the hard-court, fans had been patronising basketball jerseys by the millions and the player that is most recognisable translates to a basketball uniform that sells a great deal. Leading the list is Kobe Bryant the LA Lakers main man and the successor of Michael Jordan as a one man scoring machine. Even the switch of numbers from 8 to 24 hasn’t stopped Kobe Bryant from delivering the goods on and off the court. Alongside Kobe Bryant is the whole LA Lakers system that has a rich basketball tradition in tow. So as a whole, Bryant’s popularity is also carried by the team’s philosophy. It is being in the right place at the right time.

The number 2 spot is occupied by Lebron James who is chasing Kobe Bryant both in basketball statistics and marketing revenues. Eventually James will catch up with Kobe as age will be a crucial factor in determining both their fates. James who entered the league when he was 18 is just 25 years old and has a long way to go in breaking records on the hard-court. On the 3rd spot is Dwight Howard after entering the semi-finals last year with his Orlando Magic he has been catapulted to the spotlight and has given the fans a peek on his enormous talent. Nicknamed Superman the Magic’s centre is also shattering basketball statistics along with his best selling jerseys.

You could only imagine how much revenues are gained from basketball kits that are marketed for fans to patronize and the players are on the winning end in all of these. The NBA will be gaining ground in terms of these basketball jerseys reaching mile high in revenues and marketing which will project an upside image for the league as a whole. Players will play that role to the hilt as it would contribute not just to popularity but a trademark to the player’s contributions on the NBA.

Even if you are not player or a fan you can kit yourself out in some happening basketball jerseys just for the look.

“A Brief History of Time Outs” is a basketball coach’s book by U. of Maine head coach Steve Hawking?

Indoor Basketball Hoops For Churches and Rec Centers

Not all basketball games are played in a gym setting. For instance, many churches, community and rec centers can host a variety of games as well. When you are looking for basketball hoops for these locations, keep in mind that the space will be used for other purposes as well.

Since a church or a rec center is a multi-purpose location, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to try to install a wallmount basketball hoop unless games and tournaments are being held there on a regular basis. There are a number of styles of Portable Basketball hoops that you can choose from, however.

The RollaSport is a good choice when you know you won’t need to adjust the rim height on a regular basis. The arm can be adjusted by loosening the bolts that attach it to the vertical post if you decide that it needs to be changed. Moving the RollaSport from place to place is easy as well. All you need to do is retract the post and have it allow the unit to lower down to the transport wheel. When you are ready to set it up for a new game, simply bring it back to its usual vertical position.

The Thunder is a portable Basketball Goal that can be adjusted from 6′6″ to 10′ in height very easily. An adjustment handle located at the back of the unit is used to set it to the level you wish. It comes equipped with a brake to hold it steady during play. To move it to a different location, just release it and it can be moved to its new location on the six roller wheels it is equipped with.

Another option for indoor basketball hoops that can be used in churches and rec centers is the Storm. This is a very sturdy unit that will not tip over, even if players hang off the rim. The rim height can be adjusted from 6′ to 10′ depending on your preference. Heavy foam padding is placed around the front, sides, and back to protect players from getting injured during play.

The Hurricane is billed as a competition-style basketball hoop system. It has a large arm to hold the net in place, which is held steady by an upper and lower boom support. The Hurricane is built to meet National High School Federation and NCAA regulations.

The height can be adjusted quickly and easily by removing a pin on the adjustment rod and raising or lowering the unit as necessary and replacing it. The Hurricane is light enough that it can be raised and lowered or rolled into place by one person, if need be. While you may choose a slightly different model, you’ll still want to make sure that is light enough to move easily.

Choosing portable basketball hoops for churches and rec centers makes a lot of sense. You will need to have a place to store them when they are not being used, but they won’t be taking up valuable space during other events being hosted at either of these types of locations.

Bi-Functional Bifocal Safety Glasses

In the modern manufacturing industry, there are many jobs and tasks that require the workers to wear safety eyeglasses or protective goggles. Some of these jobs involve the operation of heavy equipment or materials that are hazardous to the eyes. The eye is absolutely one of the most precious organs for nearly every individual. Performing any of those dangerous tasks, it is necessary to protect the eyes from being hurt or injured. In addition, there are actually some active sports such as football and basketball. These games always involve much body interaction including the eyes. Protective eyewear is also needed during these sports. Each year, there are thousands of individuals who get hurt in the eye or eyes. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, sports and recreational activities cause more than 40,000 eye injuries each year in the US alone. However, 90% of these injury cases can be prevented by wearing protective eyeglasses. With the technological advancement in both lenses and frames, nowadays there is even a special type of protective spectacles, say, bifocal safety glasses.

Bifocal safety glasses are exactly a later comer in the eyewear industry. But to some extent, these particular eyeglasses were invented quite naturally. Most things on the Earth are more or less rooted since its creation. Bifocal safety glasses can also be called bifocal reading glasses or bifocal protective goggles and so on. Whichever name being called, its multi-functional property can be reflected. First of all, bifocal safety glasses come similar in external appearance to regular protective eyeglasses. They have wrap-around, large lenses which are aimed to cover the whole part of the eyes. In this way, external dangerous objects can be blocked from all angles. A slight difference is that the frame of bifocal safety glasses usually does not extend all the way around the lenses.

Bifocal safety glasses differ from regular safety glasses mainly in lens power. The vast majority of regular protective eyeglasses are equipped with non-prescription or plain lenses, which are strong enough to block any impact. However, workers participating in those dangerous jobs may still need vision correction. In particular, presbyopic workers involving dangerous yet close up tasks further need bifocal reading glasses for easy switches between near and distance vision. In this case, the perfect solution is bifocal safety glasses. This is actually a combinational type of eyewear. They can offer both proper eye protection and vision correction.

Arizona Real Estate and the Importance of Remodeling

Being a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and after viewing so many homes with many clients, remodeling your home may be of paramount importance. In and out of so many homes, people seem to want the newer, more modern style.

Many homes in the Scottsdale, Arizona area are getting older and there is hardly any land left to build new homes. There is plenty of land in Arizona to build new homes, but most of the building is going up on the outskirts of Phoenix in cities such as Surprise, Queen Creek, Casa Grande, and Anthem.

The people that want to buy in Scottsdale are not going to be able to buy a brand new home unless they knock the home down with a bulldozer and start from scratch. If you are a home owner, here are some suggestions that may help increase your re-sale-ability. Granite counter tops in the kitchen would probably be your number one. Try to make sure that the granite you pick out compliments the paint in the kitchen. If the paint in the kitchen is out-dated, you may want to consider re-painting the kitchen, and doing granite counter tops.

When discussing flooring, it seems every one prefers tile over any other type of flooring. Tile in the bathrooms and kitchen would be a great place to start. The really big twenty four inch tile is more popular than small tile. When thinking about doing tile in your home, ask a professional tile expert about which tile would look best. There are so many minor cosmetic things a home owner can do to make the property look more desirable.

So many homes appearances are absolutely destroyed by paint issues. People get bored, or they think they are professional painters, and decide to paint a room bright purple, or pink, or green. There is no problem with painting a room a color you like, but if you decide to sell the home, have all the walls re-painted back to the original colors of the home. Paint is such a cosmetic item, and such an easy fix. If possible, try to have the entire house one color such as white or light beige. It may not be a good idea to have dramatic colors through out the home. Your taste in style is probably not the same as the people that are coming to view your home that may possibly purchase your home.

Light fixtures are a relatively easy fix. Out dated or old light fixtures can be easily replaced, and are relatively cheap. Old corroded faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms is also a relatively easy fix, and not too expensive. Electrical outlet covers, probably the easiest of all, can be replaced extremely easily. If they are cracked or missing, take the extra time to replace them.

When someone purchases a home in Arizona, ninety nine percent of the time they are going to do an inspection on your home. When the buyer does an inspection on your home, their inspector is going to notice every small detail. Many reports include problems such as slow draining sinks and bath tubs, electrical outlet covers cracked or missing, light bulbs out, doors do not open and shut properly, cracked tiles on roof and many other minor issues. The fewer things an inspector puts on a report, the better that is for the seller.

Major remodeling projects might include adding a pool, or a Basketball Court, or a putting green, or even a playground type structure for the kids. A pool would be an extremely lovely upgrade for a home in Arizona with out a pool. It is so hot in Arizona, and homes with pools are not as common as one would think.

Unfortunately, no guarantees can be made that any of the above mentioned items will increase your property value, or guarantee that your home will sell. There are never guarantees when discussing Real Estate. The above mentioned items may or may not help when selling your home. Do not attempt any of the above projects without consulting with a licensed, insured, trained professional first.

how do I protect my garage lights from basketballs?

I am looking for ideas on how to protect my wall mounted garage light fixtures from damage due to my boys playing basketball in the driveway. I am looking for either a tough light fixture or something to guard the lights. I have been searching internet without much success.
Thanks.
