PRODUCT STORY
A sport style turned street classic, the California is one of PUMA’s most iconic silhouettes. We’ve updated the California for the next generation to create the Cali. Taking cues from the original, the Cali features a full leather upper and classic tennis silhouette, with a progressive stacked sole and laid-back West Coast vibes.

Look for the Puma cat logo. On real Puma shoes, the logo is present on the sole and the top of the heel. With fake Pumas, if the logo on the sole is there at all it will usually be misaligned, poorly bonded to the sole, or both. The Puma design at the top of the heel should be molded, not printed.

Once you’ve mastered the art of top roping, it’s time to learn how to lead belay. The difference with lead belaying is that rather than pulling slack out of the system, you need to give the leader slack as he or she climbs. In this REI Expert Advice video, we demonstrate how to get the climber to the first bolt, where to stand while you belay, how to give slack as your partner climbs and clips, and how to catch a fall.

If you don’t battle the force of routine, it’s far too easy to slip into a mode of doing the same thing every day, day after day, and barely being mentally present while it happens. And weeks and months, even years, can go by like this, doing the same thing over and over, detached, not really getting anything out of it, mindlessly laboring away time.

So how do we fight the rut? Living life adventurously, constantly putting ourselves in new and slightly uncomfortable situations. When the brain is faced with something new, a new challenge or sensation or scenery, it switches to full attention and immediately sets about trying to make sense of things. Injecting adventure into our lives breaks the pattern of habituation and keeps us from settling. Adventure keeps us engaged and in the pursuit of learning and improving. - Cam Brensinger

Transcript:
Waxing your skis is the best way to protect them and keep them performing at their peak. You'll need clean towels, rubbing alcohol, your favorite wax, a plastic scraper, a set of brushes and a waxing iron. It's best to use a specifically designed waxing iron because the iron you use at home could burn the wax or your base. Place your skis on your ski vise. If you don't have a vise, you can use a couple stacks of books to balance your ski. Be sure to lock your ski brakes up and out of the way. You may need a rubber band for this. Use rubbing alcohol and a clean towel to prepare the base for wax. If your bases are visibly dirty, brush them off with a wire brush before using the alcohol. Make sure you brush, wax and scrape from tip to tail.
Heat up the iron until it's just warm enough to melt the wax. Then drip a line of wax down the ski. If the wax begins to smoke, the iron is too hot. Let it cool before starting again. Work the wax into the ski from tip to tail, making sure it reaches the edges. If it doesn't, add more wax. Keep the iron moving at an even speed. You should see a trail of molten wax about 3 to 5 inches behind the iron. If you move too fast the wax won't fully penetrate into the base. If you're too slow you could burn or blister the base material. After three or four passes of the iron the ski's top sheet should feel warm. Let the whole ski cool completely back to room temperature. This is a great time to wax the other ski.
Once the ski is cooled, use a plastic scraper at a 45 degree angle to scrape off the excess wax. Use long, overlapping strokes with firm, even pressure. You know you're done scrapping when you're not getting any more wax shavings. You'll want to remove wax from the side walls and edges as well. Make sure to use the short ends of the scraper so you don't dull the scraping ends. Next comes the brushing. The base of the ski has tiny channels called structure which move water out as you ski. Brushing clears the wax from the structure. Make several full length tip to tail passes using your nylon brush. Use good even pressure and keep brushing until you're no longer seeing wax dust coming off. Finish up with a good polish with your horsehair brush. The more passes you make, the better the result. You can't brush too much.
To recap, start with clean skis. Spread wax thoroughly over the whole base. Scrape the extra wax off and finish up with your brushes.

Every snowboarder gets some base damage at some point. Big holes that expose the core usually need to be repaired at a shop, but smaller scrapes and gouges can easily be fixed at home. We’ll show you how to prep your base, fill the scrapes with P-Tex and smooth out the base when you’re done.

Everyone gets some base damage at some point. Big holes that expose the core usually need to be repaired by a shop equipped to weld in new base material, but smaller scrapes and gouges can easily be fixed at home. You'll need clean towels, base cleaner, rubbing alcohol, a metal scraper and a P-tex candle. You might also need a wire brush and a razor blade.
The repair will work best on a clean base. Start by using your scraper to remove any extra base material from around the gouge. Stubborn spots may need a razor. Brush off any dirt, debris or built up wax. As always, make sure you brush and scrape from tip to tail. P-tex won't stick well to a wax base so use base cleaner around the scrape to remove wax from the area. After a couple minutes the base cleaner will have done its job and cleared the base of wax. Now you can use rubbing alcohol and a cleaning towel to remove residual base cleaner.
Light the P-tex candle over your scraper to keep it from dripping on your work area. As it heats you may need to relight it a couple times until it's hot enough to drip regularly. Hold the candle as close as possible to the gouge without letting it touch. If it's to high the P-tex will be dirtier and may splash off your base. If it's to close the flame may burn your base. Let it drip in until the hole is completely filled. You can use your metal scraper to sharpen the candle when it starts to droop, and of course, never cross a lit candle over your skin. When all the gouges are filled, stub out the candle on your scraper and set it aside to cool. Keep in mind that it will stay hot for quite a while. It's normal for the repair to look bumpy and uneven at this point.
Once the base is cooled you can use a metal scraper to remove the excess P-tex for a smooth, flush finish. You can also check for any low spots that you may have missed. Just repeat the process to fill them in. To recap, clean the base and remove extra base material from around the gouge. Drip P-tex into the hole and allow it to cool completely. Once it's cooled, use a metal scraper to remove extra P-tex and create a smooth finish. Once the base is finished, it's time to give it a good wax.

The first Black Ski Summit took place in 1973 and was attended by over 350 skiers. A year later the National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS) was founded and would grow to have chapters in most major urban centers of the black community, including South Central LA, Oakland, Chicago, Detroit, and New York City.

Mounting your own disc snowboard bindings lets you fine-tune adjustments for a perfect ride. We show you how to determine your lead foot, position your bindings on the board and then install them. Shop REI’s selection of snowboard bindings at http://www.rei.com/c/snowboard-bindings.

Transcript:
Mounting your own snowboard bindings let's you fine tune adjustments for a perfect ride. You'll need a number three Phillips head screwdriver and the hardware that came with your bindings. First you have to figure out which foot goes at the front of your board. This is called your lead foot. Let yourself fall forward or have someone gently push you. Whichever foot you catch yourself with is likely your lead foot and will go at the front of your board. You can tell which end is the tip by the direction of the logo.
Before you mount your bindings, you and the decide on your stance width, or the distance between your bindings. A slightly wider stance often makes for a more stable ride, while a narrower stance makes for faster edge to edge transitions. If your board indicates its center mounting position, that's usually a good place to start. If you don't see this indicated, use the set of holes in the middle of the group. Remember, you can always adjust your stance width later if you find the center mount is not right for you.
Mount the binding for your lead foot first. You can tell which binding is which by their curve, just like your boots. Also, bindings always buckle on the outside of your foot. Remove the cushioning bed and set it aside, but leave the section under your toe in place. Now center your binding over the holes you'll use and place the disc on top. Make sure that the long slots are facing the same direction that your feet will go. Next you need to set your binding angle. If you don't already know your favorite angles, it's best to start with your lead foot set 15 degrees forward. Again, you can always adjust this angle later. Each mark represents three degrees, so line up the arrow with the 15 degree tick mark. Make sure you choose the mark that points your binding toward the tip of the board and not the tail. Next, lightly insert the screws and washers diagonally in a start pattern to keep the screws straight.
Once you have all the screws in, put your boot in the binding to make sure it's centered over the board. The goal is to reduce or eliminate toe and heel drag as you turn. It's especially important to make sure your toes don't hang over too far. When it's centered, remove your boot and tighten the screws until they're snug. Make sure not to overtighten and strip the screws. Finish up by replacing the cushioning bed.
Now you can repeat the process on your back foot. Your back foot should be set at a slight backward angle. Try six degrees. Again, make sure the binding is pointing toward the tail. To recap, determine your lead foot and start with that binding. Loosen up the binding for your lead foot at 15 degrees forward. Make sure your boot is centered over the board and tighten the screws. Repeat the process for your back binding at six degrees back.

Having been born without the lower part of her left arm, 26-year-old Kaitlin Heatherly had never considered her potential as a world champion rock climber, let alone much outside of her comfort. But after attending a SheLift retreat for women with physical differences in Moab, and the encouragement of paraclimbing mentors, Kaitlin discovered her latent talent and passion for the sport. Within 5 months of training, Kaitlin entered herself into the national paraclimbing competition, placing her into the world championships. This is a story that follows an unassuming athlete's journey to worlds and the impact that community and recreation can have on one’s self-esteem.

People have opinions about skier Caroline Gleich: Inspirational. Gumby. Social media star. Role model. Model masquerading as a mountaineer. At sixteen, she stumbled upon a copy of the cult classic guidebook The Chuting Gallery. Irreverent and wonderfully arbitrary, the guidebook lays out a set of 90 ski mountaineering lines across Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. They were difficult and dangerous. When she first said out loud she wanted to ski them, she was met with laughter. “Maybe it was because I was five feet tall, or I was a little blonde girl, but I remember that clearly — and it didn’t feel good” says Gleich. After a decade building her skills, Gleich set out to complete her vision and become the skier she dreamt of being. “Follow Through” is a story of loss, belonging and desire for respect. In this age of hyperconnectivity, which voices do we choose to hear and which do we ignore?
