I LOVE this bike!!!
Review by Suzie, August 2011

I wanted a fold-up bike, something I could keep in my Jeep Patriot for spontaneous bike rides, whether after work, while camping, or just to find a trial and ride for exercise/fun. THIS is THE bike!!! I leave my bike in my Jeep, and it’s always ready to go. I love trail riding, so I take off for a trail, arrive and park at the trail head, get the bike out and am on my way!I also live right near Letchworth State Park, known as the Grand Canyon of the East….lots of trails, and many well suited to some serious mountain biking! I’ve gone over big roots (unexpectedly, most times), have landed safely, and thankfully the only thing that has flown off the bike has been my water bottle (due to the water bottle cage design, not due to the bike)!

The bike continues to hold up fantastic…riding through fields full of alfalfa, muddy roads/trails, and the extreme heat (got up to 104) we’ve had this Summer in NYS when I’ve left it in my Jeep….although the tires deflated some sitting in a closed up VERY hot sitting-in-the-sun-for-days vehicle, but that was a given…any tire would do that. A quick pump of air with the hand pump, and i was ready to go again!

I’ve had this bike since the beginning of April, and I’ve folded and unfolded it hundreds of times. I’ve worried that doing so would wear on the cables, but so far, everything looks just as it did the day I bought it! I’m not sorry I purchased this one instead of the paratrooper…I really don’t need more gears, and 18 gears has served me well, even going on the road up some long hills. It seems to handle everything I’ve thrown at it with tremendous ease! This bike is also light, easy to carry, even for a smaller woman like me, easy to get in and out of my vehicle…just plain the best bike I’ve ever owned!!!

Anyone who sees it, whether stranger, family, or friend, is jealous, and I must say, I’m VERY proud to own such a great bike. Thanks Online Sports for my bike!!

USA at the Olympics

We all love to cheer for our country in the Olympics – Hoping that our favorite athletes bring back that coveted Gold medal for the nation. But there are 26 sports and a total of 39 disciplines that are being played at the Summer Olympics. And how many of them do we know about ? Let us get more familiar with those sports where USA excels and yet are not so well known!

Water Polo: It is a very fun game to watch and the US Water Polo players are ranked amongst the top ones. They won the Silver medal at the 2008 Olympics and are top contenders for the Gold at London.

Equestrian jumping: An Olympic sport since the 1900 Summer Olympics, it is a very interesting sport to watch. And the only current sport in the Olympics that still has animals involved, though these days the horses are considered almost athletes as well! The US team has always performed beyond expectations and the show jumping team will be looking for their third straight Olympic Gold.

Archery: Archery is one of the most underrated sports in the country. But USA has an extremely able player in Brady Ellison, who is currently ranked as the number one archer in the world. Though he did not win anything at the Beijing Olympics, he is the current favorite for a Gold.

We all have our favorite sports and players, but out of the 26 sports, there are many in which Team USA is the top or one of the top contenders! Let’s get our cheer on for them!

Teri McKeever – The First Female Coach of U.S. Swimming

Teri McKeever, the coach of three NCAA-title-winning teams at California-Berkeley, is the first woman to be named head coach of the U.S. Olympic team. Teri McKeever has led Cal to three  N.C.A.A. titles in the past four years. She has trained 11-time Olympic medalist Natalie Coughlin for more than a decade. McKeever also gained her reputation by helping the 2004 Olympian Dana Vollmer in recovering her lost confidence after a tragic 2008 trials in which she failed to make the team. With the coaching and motivational ability of McKeever, Vollmer was able to win the 100-meter butterfly and qualified for the 4×200 freestyle relay.

Teri McKeever has worked for 28 years as a college coach at USC and Cal in a position usually by men. In these years she has learned the tacts of swimming diplomatic channels. In 2009 she won an NCAA title and became the first female swim coach.  McKeever has proved herself as one of the most successful coaches, in college swimming including consecutive NCAA championships.

The team for Olympics was picked July 2, 26 days before Olympics was to begin in London, which gives only limited time for coaching. The major tasks for McKeever would be making a schedule for relays and ensuring everyone reaches at the site on time.

Interesting Volleyball Drills

Volleyball is a fun game but at times you may get bored with the same boring drills. To make your game full of excitement and enjoyment, you need to bring in some interesting volleyball drills in the game. Volleyball drills help the players to learn the mechanics of the game which include ball handling, foot work, rules of the game, timing and defensive play. Given below are some fun USA volleyball drills that you can include in your next training session.

The Toss and Pass Drill

This drill is for beginners and it uses two players. The Toss and Pass drill is used for improving the passing among players. In this drill player 1 tosses the ball to player 2 and then player 2 passes the ball back to the player 1.

For a single player to employ this drill, he or she can choose a wall. The player further chooses a spot on the wall and tries to hit it with the ball. This drill is called The Wall Hitting Drill.

The Mirror Blocking Drill

Blocking is required in every volleyball game. The Mirror Blocking Drill is used to enhance the blocking skills in players. In this drill, two players are placed on each side of the net making two blockers. The first player performs the blocking technique and the second player tries to mirror the movement, imitating the same technique. This drill helps the players in learning the proper blocking technique.

Bump Drill

In this drill, two players stand on the opposite sides of the net. As per the coach’s instructions, the first player bumps the ball to the other player standing on the opposite side of the net. After bumping the ball, the player takes a step back and waits for the other player to bump the ball back to the first player. After bumping, the other player also takes a step back. The players keep on doing this until the ball is missed.

Prisoner Drill

In this drill, the teams are divided into two and a standard game of volleyball is set. Every time a team earns a point, they get a player from the other team.

Spike Drill

To improve spiking skills, the team stands in a line on the sideline. The first player will go near the net with an intention to spike the ball. Then, the first player falls back from the net and again goes near the net forming a zig zag pattern until the player reaches the other sideline. Like this all the players approach the net until everyone gets on the other side of the sideline. This drill helps in improving the footwork required in spike shot.

Why not get volleyball gear and try out some spiking yourself?
