Stunt Scootering...

Gone are the days that scooters were the poor relations to skateboards, they are now seriously competing in stunts, tricks, turns & flips at skateparks across the UK.  Check this out:



This looks like a great, upcoming sport with the advantage that there's not a massive outlay on expensive kit before you can get started.  There don't seem to be many official UK clubs on the go yet, but there's certainly a pretty big Facebook community, which could give all you stunt-nuts out there some useful pointers :0)

Inspirational Skater...

Our young skater star Schaeffer Mclean flagged up this video for us on Facebook last night...

There's even a little poem from the skater himself to accompany the vid:

"Hands, more than just hands. Today my legs, which lead me through these paths that life brings. Hands that touch the wheels that take me through life, calloused hands, hands sustained, loving hands, hands needs!"  No one else could sum it up quite as powerfully as the man himself...

Great news in hydrogen fuel cell technology...

The great advantage of hydrogen fuel cell engines is that their fuel can be taken from the air & the only waste product is water.  It may currently you cost you $849 a month to lease a Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-Cell (one of the few hyrodgen-fueled vehicles currently available to consumers), but Daimler says that cost will come down considerably in the next few years. Speaking with Automotive News, Daimler's Herbert Kohler said that by 2015 he expects a "fuel cell car will not cost more than a four-cylinder diesel hybrid that meets the Euro 6 emissions standard," which would seemingly place it in a race with Toyota and its promise of a $50,000 hydrogen-powered sedan. What's more, Kohler also said that he expects fuel cell vehicles to actually be cheaper than comparable electric vehicles within the next few years, and he said that Daimler is hoping to bring a "four-digit-number" of fuel cell vehicles to market by 2013 or 2014.

Where America leads, let's hope that the rest of the world will follow...
