“Growing up in Huntington Beach, you were either a traditional sports athlete, a skateboarder, or a surfer. I got my first skateboard when I was five and skated off and on over the years, did a little BMX racing as a kid, and then in my freshman or sophomore year I started getting a little bit more into skateboarding.” YearsFirstsLittlesKidsBitsSportsGrowing UpFiveGrowingLittle BitAthleteTraditionalBeachRacingFreshmanSurferSkateboardingSophomoreSkateboarderSophomore YearBmxHuntington Beach Author:Jason Lee
“Looking back on the event, I find myself thinking there are three approaches to journalism represented here. One is the "cool" approach of traditional journalism, including network broadcasting in which NPR is no exception. One is the "hot" approach of talk radio, which has since expanded to TV sports networks and now Fox TV. The third is the engaged approach of weblogging.” ThinkingFunnyThreeSportsEventsTvsApproachThirdsHotIncludingRadioTraditionalJournalismEngagedThoughtfulExceptionLooking BackFoxesBloggingBroadcastingTalk RadioNpr Author:David "Doc" Searls
“It is quite easy to debase the sport, change its values, dilute its ethics and destroy its traditional associations with quietness, relaxation and the opportunity to think. Angling is not a competitive sport. The fisherman'- s only real competition is with his quarry and his only real challenge is the challenge to himself. Nothing can add to this, but the blight of interhuman competition can certainly detract from it.” ThinkingRealValuesOpportunityEasySportsChallengesSeaEthicsRiversAddCompetitionFishesTraditionalBoatLakesFishingAssociationRelaxationFishermanQuietnessAnglingBlightQuarryCompetitive Sports Author:Roderick Haig-Brown
“Tennis is a traditional game. A big sport like tennis does not need too many changes. The game has become too fast, there are hardly any long, interesting rallies these days. So maybe slowing down the courts could help. But you can't really stop a sport from evolving.” NeedsLongDoeHelpingBigsGamesSportsInterestingCourtTraditionalEvolveThese DaysTennisSlow DownSlowing Author:Bjorn Borg
