Jumping on a Trampoline

“Pointed toes and everything” ha. Skills left over from when I was a kid.

This was at Canadian Tire’s spring media preview.

8 minutes of bouncing = running 1 mile

This is a new type of trampoline: no springs.

Just as bouncy, far safer for fingers, stuff can’t get caught.

Ever see that happen? I once saw a girl, with really long untied hair, practically scalp herself, I physically cringed while typing that.

It’s Rosie MacLennan, 2012 Olympic Gold
& current World Trampoline Champion!

So humble, and doing her masters, and she actually works at Canadian Tire! (sorry about the poorly lit photo missy).

Watch her Olympic Gold routine.

 

 

Debuted on MotoringTV Today

Motoring TV on TSN is Canada’s, and one of the world’s, longest-running TV shows – 27 seasons!

Watch the video on MotoringTV.com

Being edited on a big-boy system.

It’s just web though, to be clear, not TV.


Technically, it’s my 3rd video for them, I just never said anything.

There’s 2 more on the site: 1 about a Caravan charity project, and 1 when Kia sponsored a RIDE program awareness event back in the summer. I’m especially awkward in that one.

And that’s enough for today. Still shy.

 

 

 

Camouflaging Cars

When testing a new model, manufacturers disguise the cars from curious, long camera lenses… a leaked shot of an upcoming debut really sucks the drama away.

So many automakers keep a Camo Expert on staff.

The goal is to trick the eye into seeing something that’s not there.

How? The camo makes it difficult for a camera lens to focus, or sometimes an infrared-absorbing paint is used, B&W swirly paint can make convex appear concave, or the shape of the car is altered using styrofoam and fake body parts.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

 There are different types of camo, but both always mask the two most important design features – the grille and tail lights.
