ESPN, the official founder of the X Games, has made a huge announcement. They have announced that they will be bringing the X Games to Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil; Munich, Germany and Barcelona, Spain in 2013. Those three cities will join Aspen, Colorado; Los Angeles, California and Tignes, France in order to help the X Games grow and expand globally.

ESPN had a formal bidding process last May, and there was quite a bit of interest from many locations around the world that wanted to host one of the three new events in order to join Los Angeles, Aspen and Tignes. Starting right now, local committees for Foz do Iguaçu, Munich and Barcelona will be collaborating with ESPN for the next three years to make sure that X Games is the best that it can be in their location. ESPN will launch an annual, six-event X Games calendar: four summer events and two winter.

“ESPN has been committed to the X Games franchise for nearly two decades and is incredibly excited for the future and this new endeavor,” said John Skipper, president, ESPN and Co-Chair, Disney Media Networks. “We are bringing significant focus to this expansion because we believe in the universal appeal of these sports and competitors and want to share the X Games experience with fans around the world.”

Quite a few people that I know have been deciding to get custom designed rings and jewelry. They just can’t find what they’re looking for in a regular jewelry store, or sometimes they want something unique that will mean more than other jewelry. I wanted to make sure I gave some tips so people know what to expect when getting custom jewelry.

First of all, make sure you know what style or what you’re expecting from a ring before you go shopping, especially for custom designed jewelry. Get the personality of the ring you’re looking for. If someone you work with or know has one you were looking at or liking, feel free to ask them who designed it. Make sure to stick to your budget as well once you set it, as a salesperson should be able to help you stick within it.

Make sure that you expect a higher price tag. A custom ring can be a lot more expensive than a store-bought ring if you aren’t careful. Custom rings take more labor and time since they are unique. Custom rings can take quite awhile, so don’t wait until the last minute. Allow at least six weeks for delivery once you get the ring ordered. You will also need time beforehand to research and find a designer for the ring, not to mention finalizing the ring’s specs.

Wait to find the perfect designer. It’s your ring and you should be absolutely thrilled to wear it. Don’t accept anything less than perfect. If you don’t know a designer, ask about their style and look for examples of their work. Perhaps even check how long they’ve been in business.

Make sure to be careful when you’re shopping for your ring. After all, it is yours. Hopefully these few tips will help you to find your custom designed ring and make sure it is absolutely perfect.

After a long day of riding, it sure is nice to relax. Now, if you want to really relax and enjoy your environment, or perhaps even have a romantic evening, than a WoodWick Candle may be perfect for this exact occasion. They come in quite a few different sizes, so money is never too big of an issue, though they are cheap anyway. WoodWick candles also come in many different scents, so anyone can find the right scent and be satisfied and feel comfortable in their environment.

WoodWick candles combine a wonderful and unique scent with a crackling wood wick. WoodWick candles are some of the cheapest candles that you can find, even with the Virginia Candle Company line. The WoodWick candle line also include reed diffusers, reed diffuser refills and many other products. Hopefully after your day or riding, your time of romance or relaxation can be a good one where you can find peace and better your environment with a WoodWick candle.

Did you know that while the cold weather is often blamed for battery failures, statistics show that there are more failures in July than January? The summer heat can cause evaporating fluids and accelerating corrosion, decreasing performance and increasing chances of failure.

PulseTech Products Corporation has offered several tips to making sure your battery stays maintained as much as possible:

* Clean the battery case to remove any dirt

* Ensure terminal posts are clean and corrosion free. If corrosion is present clean the terminal posts with a small wire brush and use corrosion inhibiting spray or dialectic grease to prevent future sulfate deposit buildup.

* Heat can speed up battery fluid evaporation so ensure electrolyte levels are maintained properly. If battery caps are removable you can easily check the fluid level and make sure levels are just below the maximum line. Not all batteries have a visible maximum fill line. If that’s the case with your battery, simply fill to 1/8″ below the ring of plastic that extends into the cell. Always remember to use distilled water (not tap water) and don’t overfill as heat can cause the fluid to expand and overflow.

* Use a battery tester to ensure the battery has a minimum charge of 12.6 volts. If the charge is below this level you will need to charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. To ensure best performance use a smart charger, such as the Xtreme Charge® from PulseTech, for a week or more to dissolve the capacity robbing sulfates so the battery can be fully charged and retain full capacity.

After a lot of hype and patience, MX Sports and Ricky Carmichael have announced that Ricky Carmichael University is back. This year, they will be expanding to the west coast and will even make an appearance in the United Kingdom. “Due to the success of the amateur supercross, we were forced to expand RCAMSX to two days and unfortunately we weren’t able to hold RCU in Daytona anymore,” said Carmichael. “But we’re excited to be able to give students on the west coast and around the world the opportunity to take part in RCU. It’s amazing to see this turn into an international event!”

Ricky Carmichael University is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get one-on-one coaching for motocross riders of all skill levels by Ricky Carmichael and his team of instructors. For the 2012 season, this team of instructors will include Jeff Emig, Jeff Stanton, Ricky’s mother, and his trainer Mrs. Jeannie Carmichael.

The European RCU event, brand new this year will take place at Fat Cat Moto Parc in Doncaster, UK on Monday, June 18 and Tuesday, June 19. From there, they will go to Lake Elsinore on Monday, September 10. This September event will be right after the final round of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship.

One of the groups of the largest OHV access groups in California, the California Motorized Recreation Council (CMRC), has agreed to hire the Livingston Group, LLC. of Washington, D.C. in order to help halt the expansion of the 29 Palms Marine Base. The Marine Corps is planning to annex approximately 160,000 acres of the Johnson Valley Off-Highway Vehicle area. The one they plan on expanding onto is the largest open OHV area in the United States and contributes over $70 million dollars into the economy of the surrounding High Desert communities annually.

The Marine Corps expansion would limit motorized recreation to less than one percent of the entire California Desert. ”Our industry has continued to grow at steady pace since the late 1970s, while in that same time period we have lost 48% of the recreational opportunities in the California Desert.” Fred Wiley, the president of the Off-Road Business Association stated. “While we support the training needs of our military, it is a bitter pill to swallow losing such a massive piece of our public lands, considering the limited time the Marine Corps plans to utilize this portion of the desert.”

While most people would say that it is idiotic that people would want to fight the expansion of a Marine Base that will help to train our Marine Corps. However, apparently they only plan to hold training exercises 24 days each year in Johnson Valley.
