Being cheap is OK. Being a clueless sanctimonious condescending douchebag is just Vlad's MO.

Using TunnelBear VPN to stream from Ecuador (CBC Rio 2016 coverage). I always feel a surge of patriotism watching our athletes compete.

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.

Agreed. As someone who has never watched rugby before, the speed and short games are pretty entertaining.

LOL at the typical uninformed commentary about womens VBall. Even funnier coming from a outraged Canadian male who is to busy judging on what a woman wears than her performance.

Thanks to the temps at the London Olympics the FIVB updated the regulations to allow female players to wear tights and shirts instead. This development has allowed others to compete at the Olympics as the rule change allows flexibility by the athletes.

More info here on the rule changes for those who want to be informed.
