Standing in the middle of icy rivers wondering what it’s like to be a fish. Making pretty girls laugh. And friends. Of course my friends.”

35 is a film about dreams made by dreamers.

Watch, enjoy, celebrate.

Why just breathe the air when you can soar through it?

There’s something about leaving Earth behind, even if it’s just for a moment.

That’s the Joy of Air.

Watch and see.

Perfect for stashing in the cooler and hauling it wherever you’re headed.

Cans don’t break when empty, you can crush them to save space, and you can fit more in the cooler.

This isn’t post-prohibition rice water; no Schlitz or PBR (sorry hipsters) or Olde Frothingslosh.

This is honest-to-goodness craft beer, packed with hops, balanced with malt.

Some purveyors of such awesomeness?

Oskar Blues.

Six Point.

21st Amendment.

Caldera.

And tons more.

And these breweries? Totally screaming to be waypoints on your next road trip.

Don’t worry, if the bottle opener on your racks gets lonely, we won’t judge if you buy a six of bottles.

Winter doesn’t mean putting away your favorite fair weather sport.

SUP? You can totally do this in winter.

Frisbee Golf. On ice. Check it.

Biking? All year round.

And, hey, if you prefer vertical movement, there’s no shame in this.

1. More time.
Carve out your time with a machete. Ditch the non-essentials (TV, I’m looking at you. Er … I’m not looking at you. Anymore. YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN!).

2. More adventures.
That time you carved out? Fill it with these…

3. More friends.
…and these.

4. More gear.
And gear to haul your gear.

5. More fun.
Adventures = fun.

You know what? Forget wishing.

Go. Make it happen.

You don’t have to travel into the Heart of Darkness,  or cut off your arm, or fall 128,000 feet.

You just have to get out there. However you can.

Could be a day on the Green slopes, a 3-mile run, or a winter camping weekend with your kids.

Truth is, unless you’re talking about Beowulf, epic is different for everyone.

And perhaps the most important.

When asked if she had any advice for other folks who are interested in bike racing, here’s what she said:

Life is too short, so why not?!

Most local bike shops sponsor or coordinate group rides. They can be weekend or mid-week. Some shops might have resources for 101 racing clinics and local races.

I suggest getting in touch with a group and just have fun! See where it brings you.

Always remember to have FUN, because when you do, you actually go faster! This is a FACT.

Stay tuned for more updates from Brianna as she works towards her pro career!

Sound familiar? No? Well, that’s ok.

Rock climbing is kind of in it’s own little isolated world of awesomeness. Still, it can be a pretty intimidating (and weird) environment in which to dip your toes without proper guidance. Fortunately, the climbing community is one of the most welcoming in the outdoor industry.

Take more friends? Yeah, climbers are all about that.

Let’s face it, everyone needs to start somewhere. No matter who you are, you can learn climbing. There are a lot of resources.

Go online to see if there is a local climbing wall or gym in your area. If that’s not an option, but you’re still looking to learn the ropes, head over to Mountain Project, a climbing-dedicated wiki that has a fantastic option to find partners in your area.

Once you get going, you may find all the knots, techy-looking equipment, and jargon intimidating. “Belay On!” and “bomber placements” are enough to bamboozle even the most adventurous first-timer, but don’t worry. It takes time. Your local climbing shop can connect you with the right books and the right people with ease.

Remember that friendly climbing community? That means more experience from which to draw.

According to a 2010 US Forest study, climbing’s most recent decade saw an almost 10% increase in participation, with more growth in the 2nd half of the decade. And it’s only going to continue growing.

This means there’s never been a better time to start climbing.
