Ice Cross Downhill is a new sport that has been live-branded by the Red Bull energy drink beverage company as Red Bull Crashed Ice. The sport is simple; its a speedy race downhill on skates between four heavily padded participants, the best time wins. So Crashed Ice is a combination speed skating meets alpine skiing with a hint of ice hockey, and always in an urban environment. The 2013 Red Bull Crashed Ice season starts in Niagara Falls this year, just down the road from the waterfalls. The best view of the whole affair will undoubtedly be from atop the Skylon Tower which is very close to the STARTING line atop Clifton Hill. And inside the Red Bull Fan Zone should be thrilling – I will update you with pictures and text from that event next week. Read more about Crashed Ice on Skylon’s Niagara Falls blog.

I visited the 2012 Zoomershow on Saturday Oct 27th with an open mind. I’m close pals with some exhibitors and so was emailed some free tickets which I used to get myself and a friend in the door at the Direct Energy Bldg. On that autumn morning most of Toronto stayed home; the weather was awful. Oct 27th was just two days before Hurricane Sandy blasted the city and the preceding wind and rain made driving difficult and waiting in line to pay for parking at Exhibition Place was particularity painful. But once inside the venue, people were surrounded by warmth, luxury and a best-of-the-best vision of their possible futures. There were doctors, lawyers and dentists, cosmetic surgeons, investment bankers, travel agents and pet food manufactures all giving away stuff in their booths. I wrote about visiting the 2012 Zoomershow on Travelblogs and I published a similar account on Socyberty… Read more »

Lenzr is a serial photo contest website that lets business sponsor art. We started the website in August 2009, and have hosted over forty contests in two years. The average price of a photo contest is about five thousand dollars, with prizes and tax included. The companies that sponsor the photo contests get some buzz marketing, and notice some rise in traffic, but more importantly they get a shot-in-the-arm of social relevance that search engines can’t ignore. A photo contest is a catalyst to growing social capital. On February 1st 2011 nine different matches launched on Lenzr, with all manner of interesting and unusual theme challenges. For the first two days there were no photos entered into any of the categories… it was unnerving. But as of March 26th 2011, there were over 300 photos entered in all nine different challenges that compose the latest Lenzr offerings. In the ten… Read more »
