So you’ve heard all the weather warnings and it is blizzards galore in New York and New Jersey with the snow beating down in Boston and everywhere else. It felt like a scene out of a fairy tale during the white Christmas but now that the fairy tale has ended, you just want to get out and engage in something fun. Just what do you do when you are pretty much an outdoorsy guy and love to indulge in fun activities but all you do nowadays is watch movies indoors or a rake snow outside? Cheer up! We have an idea. There is an original Guinness World Record snow bicycle on the market at Hammacher Schlemmer. Why not try some new tricks with it this winter? Read the rest of this entry »
The Russian armoured version of the Hummer is coming to US shores thanks to Red Sea Distribution. Now you may remember the Dartz Kombat from the whole “whale penis/foreskin” issue that got everyone in a huff (including Pamela Anderson).
Apparently someone told the guys over at Dartz that whale foreskin was the best leather out there & they jumped on it, though how on earth they were going to circumcise a whale I don’t know…

There are many questions in life to ponder. Here over at Baller, we’ve been wondering a few things for quite some time now, like; why is the plastic they use to cover cds so indestructible, can you have too many Armani suits & who is the fastest man on a lawnmower.
Well so far it’s this guy: Bobby Cleveland, the Engine Answerman for Gold Eagle & he set the World Speed Record for Lawn Mowers on the 4th July 2006 at 80.792 mph on the famous Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
In a few days time he’ll be in England to witness the British attempt to break the record & exceed the 100mph barrier.
Boys on their quads will no longer have to stop at the edge of the water and wish they had a jet ski instead. At the flick of a switch the Gibbs Quadski, by the new amphibian Gibbs Technologies, makes the crossover from land to water in about 5 seconds. This full on recreational vehicle is a quad bike and a jet ski in one funky looking speed machine. Powered by a 140 BHP petrol driven engine, this cool amphibian is able to travel at 50mph on land and water.

Created by ex-TVR owner and recently passed on Peter Wheeler, the Scamander RRV is the ultimate go-anywhere vehicle. As he explains it “Lots of people are fed up with their traditional sports cars, like Ferrari and Lamborghini produce, so I wanted to create an alternative. I created it for me, to be honest.
