“These foot stickers let you keep that barefoot feeling, while providing a little added grip in the critical areas. Created by Dutch designer Frieke Severs as a concept for Nike, the Footstickers attach themselves to your feet like a second skin, providing grip, protection, and support.” w/ photos

“Criminals on tough policeman Mir Zhang’s new beat had better head for the hills – as he puts on a display of his hard-headed approach to law and order. The 48-year-old bobby on the beat in Hei Longjiang province, China, has studied deadly kung fu techniques for more than 20 years which has left him apparently invulnerable to pain and injury. In a display for colleagues he shrugged off bricks smashed on his skull with a sledgehammer, forced a steel spear into his throat and headbutted heavy stoneware pots to pieces as they flew the air. Mr Zang said: ‘Anyone can do what I do as long as they find a good master and study hard.” w/ photo

“Its doors are made of discarded stop signs, its air cleaner’s an old pressure cooker. It has the heart of a Corvette and the front end’s from a ’39 Dodge Truck. It’s the VetteRod-Amino. This is its story. This fascinating frankencar started life as a 1977 Corvette before morphing into the work of outsider automotive art seen here. It’s the work of a rural Alabama farmer, a mad tinkerer who who fabricates what he fancies without regard to modern restomod standards of perfection and quality.” w/ photos

“Bicycle polo can be traced back to 1891, when Irish cyclist Richard J. Mecredy first came up with the crazy idea of riding the bike with one hand and holding a polo mallet in the other. Back then, it was played on grass, just like horse polo, and it wasn’t until the last decade that bike polo started being played on hard surfaces.  Bikers first started competing in Bike Polo games in cities like New York, Chicago and Seattle, but thanks to the Internet, it quickly spread to other US cities, and is now a regimented sport, with a clear set of rules and its own championship – the North American Hardcourt Bicycle Polo Championships.  The game of Bike Polo basically features two teams of three members chasing a street hockey ball, trying to kick it through the opposition’s small goal. Their mallets are made from plastic tubes and old ski sticks, and their fixed gear bikes only have one handlebar, to allow better control of the hockey ball. As you can imagine, this is not the safest sport in the world, especially considering it’s played on hard surfaces and there are a lot of crashes involved. Players try to gracefully avoid bumping into one another, but that’s not very easy to do on a bicycle, and accidents do happen. But that’s precisely what makes bicycle polo an adrenaline filled sport, and that’s why so many people love it.” w/ photos

“With the Street Food Festival in full swing, and a fleet of gourmet go-carts at Off the Grid, we’re all about chasing down delicious downsized grub. But here’s the latest addition that gives a new spin on the the food cart frenzy – meet the Le Truc, a 1989 ford Ward School Bus turned bus restaurant or bustaurant… Of all the ways to repurpose a smoggy old school bus, this is among the best. The bus has undergone a burly professional buildout – the inside has two long comfy benches for eating on the go, while the back half has been fashioned into a commercial-grade kitchen. The conversion also includes skylights, for some lovely natural light, and some high-quality appliances and classic detailing.” w/ photos
