The Overall Benefits Of The Razor A Scooter

Monday, November 8th, 2010

The Razor A scooter is a fantastic suggestion for anybody desiring to stay healthy. These days loads of people are desk-bound and we all seem to have less time for just going out for a walk, which is the age-old antidote for gaining a few pounds. The Razor A scooter can assist you here.

How often have you thought, ‘I haven’t got time to walk’ or ‘I can’t be bothered to walk’ and then have jumped in the automobile instead? But what if you had a Razor A scooter handy? You could simply scooter down to the store or the park. You could take the dog for more walks and at a snappier speed too, something your dog will surely be thankful for.

The Razor A series or its larger siblings, the Razor Pro or Razor Cruiser, are not expensive costing between $40 and $60, cheaper at Amazon or eBay, yet they will rapidly save you hundreds of dollars on fuel. After all, starting a car is usually the most expensive section of a short journey.

The Razor A scooter is also very handy. Weighing in at about six pounds, anybody can carry it easily up or down a couple of stairs or lift it in or out of the boot of a car. But not only that, it folds up too, so that the whole scooter is only a couple of feet long by six inches high by six inches wide. It will without difficulty fit in a lobby locker or the trunk of a car.

Your Razor A scooter could be used in many ways to save you money and keep you fitter. For instance, if you need a loaf of bread, you could hop on your scooter. You could take you dog to the park. You could scooter with your kids ‘in a pack’. You could put a Razor A scooter in the boot of your automobile and scooter the last half a mile into school. And every time you get on that scooter, you are burning not motor fuel but fat!

Think of it that way. You are saving fuel and money and burning your excess calories at the same time. You are also exercising your legs and increasing your metabolism and heart rate as well. That is everything the bank manager and the doctor recommended all combined into one activity. And you will be in first-rate company too.

Do you know who else’s offspring ride Razor A scooters? Well, there’s Al Pacino’s twins for a start. Now, Al Pacino is not short of a few dollars, I’m convinced, so you can be certain that he’s going to want the best for his children, isn’t he? And Lisa Kudrow and her son. And Liv and Cal, progeny of Julianne Moore and Bart Freundlich. You would be forgiven for thinking, ‘Aw well, they got theirs for nothing!’ and that may be accurate, but at around $40 who cares?

The advantages in saved motor fuel and increased exercise make the Razor A scooter a must-have necessity in my eyes. So, take another look at the Razor A scooter and remember, someone’s birthday’s coming up soon.

Razor Kick Scooters

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

The Razor kick scooter is the present-day counterpart of the sort of scooter that has been around for 50 years or more. In fact, children have probably been attaching boards to wheels ever since abandoned wheels became obtainable. As with those archetypal scooters, the Razor kick scooter is driven forward by foot power. That is, you place one foot on the board and push forward, or in other words kick back on the ground with the other.

This method of propulsion makes the Razor kick scooter an idyllic manner of transportation, exercise and enjoyment for children of all ages. In fact, Razor do not recommend a Razor kick scooter for the under fives unless supervised and state in their instruction manual:

“Children under age eight (8) should ride with adult supervision at all times. All children and preteens should ride with adult guidance at all times”.

This seems pretty strict to me and is almost certainly an instance of over-prudence because of the litigious culture we live in. Just try suggesting to a twelve-year that you have to employ guidance on all of his or her trips!

Having said that the Razor kick scooter comes in approximately seven different guises. There is the Kiddie Kick scooter for the under fives. It is made of tough plastic and has a third wheel for added stability.

Then there is the ‘A’ series of Razor kick scooter: the A, A2, A3 and AW. These models are approximately equal to a child’s growth in size, ability and experience, although the highest recommended weight for all three models of Razor kick scooter is 65 kilos or 143 lbs.

The Razor kick scooter Pro is a jump up in technology and so has more capabilities. It can be used for extreme sport and will bear a rider weighing up to 100 kilos or 220 lbs.

Last, but not least, is the Cruiser Razor kick scooter. It will take 79 kilos (175 lbs of weight and has larger wheels as it is meant for relaxed cruising about. The larger wheels signify that you won’t be aware of any bumpy terrain beneath you while you are on this Razor kick scooter.

All of these Razor kick scooters share similar characteristics. All of these models of the Razor kick scooter are of very robust assembly and all but the Razor Kiddie Kick scooter are manufactured of high-grade aluminium and are built to last.

These Razor kick scooters have extendable steering rods, which means that they can be pulled up to grow with your child or can be shared by children of different sizes. They also share a tough braking system which is operated on the rear wheel, rendering them ultra-safe for operation in the vicinity of pedestrians.

A Razor kick scooter starts at about $40 and so is an economical method for you to ensure that that your child gets regular exercise, gets out from behind his computer, gets some fresh air and sunlight and learns about politeness while having enjoyment being mobile. Apart from all these benefits, a Razor kick scooter will give your child tender reminiscences to look back on for the rest of his or her being.

The Legend Royce Gracie VS. Matt Hughes

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

No one thought it would have ended the way it did. The legend went down.Looking back, one can’t be surprised with the result. In retrospect, it was inevitable.

Matt Hughes has been training for nearly a decade for a fight with Royce Gracie without even realizing it. When Royce Gracie unleashed Gracie Jiu Jitsu on the MMA world in UFC 1, no one knew what it was or how it worked. By UFC 2 people began to see that there was a pattern to what he was doing. The years that followed sealed Royce’s fate as a marked man.

Fighters were attempting to dissect Gracie Jiu Jitsu, but in reality they were analyzing Royce Gracie’s application of the fighting style. Without setting out to do so, every fighter that wanted to evolve and step up his game by learning to employ and defend Gracie Jiu Jitsu was training to fight Royce. It became Royce Gracie vs. the MMA world.

To Royce’s credit, he remained largely victorious in all of his bouts for years to come. But a man with a bulls eye on his back is bound to get hit once in a while. Matt Hughes was an on target bullet at UFC 60 where he bested the king and pulled out the most significant victory of his career.

But was it fair?

That’s hard to say. Matt Hughes is a tremendous athlete with dedication to his craft and an abundance of skill. Add to that palette an army of trainers teaching students how to defend and counter Royce Gracie’s every move, and Matt Hughe’s victory becomes somewhat destiny.

In theory, another Gracie would have had a much better shot at beating Matt Hughes. Take a look at Renzo Gracie’s incredible performance against BJ Penn, who has been touted as pound for pound the best fighter on the planet by many. Renzo fought tough and nearly pulled out a victory. His different style than Royce’s may have been enough for him to gain victory over Hughes.

Royce is possibly the greatest ever, but even a bullet can be dodged when its target has advanced warning.

A strategy for Royce, which under normal circumstances would seem absurd, would be to do the opposite of what some of the Gracie Jiu Jitsu tactics are. When he should place his body weight a certain way, if he were to suddenly shift the opposite way his opponent would be totally thrown off momentarily. And a moment is all a boa constrictor like Royce needs.
