Time has come (in most places across the world) to grab your skates and sip hot chocolate in a skating rink with your bumchums. We are not suggesting any major deviation from that except for some real luxurious and classy skates to replace the rather common ones you already own. We are referring to a collection that goes by the name of ‘In the world of animals’ that comes with 15 different models of stylish skates that have been hand decorated with sparkling Swarovski crystals all over.

In fact, we hear that famous figure skater Anastasia Grebenkin, who is also known as an actress and radio broadcaster, was quite perturbed with the missing sparkle in her attire required for an otherwise flawless and elegant sport. Well, now she cannot complain anymore.

It is not very often that people try and design unusual and one-of-a-kind stuff when it comes to sports equipment as they are as a rule supposed to be ‘standard’. Apart from meddling with chess boards and their pieces not many people tend to bother with sports goods or try to bling them up with a sparkle or two. But designer Rirkrit Tiravanija along with Nathalie Karg’s Cumulus Studios wanted to create something more vivid and striking for the sport of Ping Pong and they ended up creating the super shiny and highly polished ‘Limited Edition’ chrome Ping Pong table.

The word Mercedes comes with its own superb stamp of class and elitism. The luxury brand has now come up with a whole new range of golf accessories. If golf as a game itself meant class and symbol of elegance of the super rich, Mercedes is something any top golfer or golfing enthusiast would crave for. The range is available both for men and for women.

It has simple and functional shirt jackets, classic golf bag with its sturdy tripod, full length dividers and five zippered storage pockets as also an insulated beverage holder in the bag, and other little items such as a unisex Visor made of cotton material with a special twirl. Behold, it also has a Mercedes Golf umbrella which is a boring black in colour but another tempting piece of the pie with its Mercedes Benz-logo and a golf ball marker, not to forget the stylish Callaway golf towel, besides golf balls.

What is common to all of these accessories, rather each of them, is the exclusive Mercedes signature. Even if you are not a golf enthusiast, you would want to grab a piece of Mercedes golfing paraphernalia.

The Cigarette 50’ Marauder will be its showstopper. This star of a powerboat has triple Mercury Racing engines, from the 850SCi to the thundering 1200’s, and can speed so swift you gape in awe. Visitors at the show can also get to see the iconic 38’ Top Gun. Top Gun is a typical old world kind of design in the Cigarette powerboat range, although the brand has embraced modernity and technology with ease. The model is easy to drive and has low maintenance, and is known for its superb handling characteristics.

Other Cigarette models are great too. The display’s new designs will be spectacular cockpits.

The Cigarette range display for this 40 year old brand established by the late Don Aronow at North Miami Beach, is evidently all about bringing to fore its commitment to quality, be it in the construction, power, rigging, upholstery and paint work of powerboats.

Tired of the treadmill that pains your knees and ankles? Or has your exercising dream crumpled because of some serious leg trouble? Did you know you could actually exercise in zero gravity and with hardly any pain?
Unless it was about swimming in water, or a ride up in space, it was near impossible till now. But AlterG M300 Anti-Gravity Treadmill makes possible exactly that.

The treadmill is meant only for the really rich. It has a price tag of $ 24,500, and will be available on sale from next month.

How does it work? It creates enough air pressure inside its enclosure to create near vacuum. It uses differential air pressure around your lower body, to lift you up.

The machine then allows you to exercise by moving your legs in 20 per cent less gravity or any differential space between that and normal gravity.

The overpriced version is already being used by 50 per cent of NBA teams and many NFL teams besides some college athletic schedules. In near future, the machines may well make it to your neighbourhood gym.
AlterG is surely a gift for those athletes recovering from injuries, the elderly who must exercise but have no energy or muscle power for it, and patients who need exercise.

Downhill bicycle, or so it is called. But Bergmönch backpack scooter is a surprise. It is supposed to be called a scooter apparently, because unlike the conventional bicycles, it has no pedals. The vehicle having a bigger wheel on its front and smaller one on its back, uniquely folds up once you are done with moving downhill.

What is interesting is that this scooter, bicycle or downhill wheeler can be packed into your backpack for your trek uphill or journey elsewhere. Is that not a better choice to a really tough bet on bicycling uphill? Considering it works only on downslopes, when you reach a plain while downhill you may need to fold it back into your backpack, and for the smoother terrain, you can kneel when you ride down.

The bike is custom-made for rough terrains, has an aluminium frame, full suspension, triple-hardened tubes, adjustable air shocks and disc brakes. With this, you can store your other things in the backpack too.
