LT’s got a new style

I’m sure that by now many of you have seen LaDainian Tomlinson’s hilarious electric glide video that was originally masterminded by Nike two summers ago. First Leroy Smith, now this! All I have to say is that Nike knows its audience well and stays hip to pop culture. The timing was great, coinciding with the Chargers 2010 playoff run and I really can’t wait to see everyone boogieing in the stands on Sunday.

Team USA scores gold!

In what I can only describe as the best sport you’re not watching, Team USA took Gold defeating Canada last night in the World Juniors Championship of Hockey. It was a HUGE upset and a game that was filled with non-stop excitement. Everyone’s got a thing and for me, it’s hockey. Congrats to the boys in red white & blue and I hope this paves the way for Team USA next month in Vancouver!

Gift Guide: Official match ball of 2010 FIFA World Cup!

Can summer be here any sooner? Adidas went all out with 8 thermally bonded 3-D panels, aero grooves and 11 different colors for the official match ball of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The 11 colors represents 11 players on a team and 11 languages of South Africa. It’s a bit pricey but sure to be a collector’s item. Let the world-cup fever begin! [via Uncrate]

Soccer fans have a new jersey

Hellooooo soccer fans! It’s a bit pricey but Arkitip + Peter Sutherland + Adidas is ninety dollars well spent.  I definitely wouldn’t mind sporting this jersey during my Sunday soccer matches. Ever since witnessing Pele and the Cosmos in the mid 80s, I’ve been hooked and couldn’t care less if ESPN only gives a shit about World Cup. For those who know, know.

Nike skateboarding and my favorite hip hop song of all time.

You may have seen the shorter versions of the Nike SB Paul Rodriguez “Today Was A Good Day” commercial, but they just launched the extended version and it’s so sick. Love the cameos by Koston, Ice Cube and Kobe.

Another skateboard deck I’m gonna have to buy

The boys at LRG have hooked up with Kayo Corp. to bring us a dope new skateboard deck. The deck features the LRG Giraffe on the bottom, as well as the cycle logo both on top and bottom. The color scheme used is green and white, making for some nice summer-friendly colors. Stop by the LRG online shop to purchase the deck for $45. [via weekly drop]

Please watch: The Girl Effect

I saw this video last October at The Feast Conference for Social Innovation. Nearly a year later, I’m still moved. My friend Chad says it best, “The PSA speaks for itself. And when it does, you have no other choice but to listen.”

Forget skateboarding, Parkour causes envy!

Considered a discipline similar to a martial art than to a sport, Parkour focuses on moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and quickly as possible using only the abilities of the human body. Wiland Pinsdorf’s Samparkour showcases the beautiful city of São Paulo, Brazil. It features Zico Corrêa who uses every obstacle like a new possibility.Where people see obstacles, Zico sees a challenge. I’m totally impressed. [via Limited Hype]

Golf’s brighter side

Craig Sager and Don Cherry had better watch out. With the help of Loudmouth Golf, John Daly has been making a run for the noisiest clothes in sports. I wouldn’t be surprised if he sports some Zubaz soon.
