A wheelchair user from Nevada has made world history after becoming the first person in the world to perform a double back flip whilst in a wheelchair. The nail biting stunt has been watched on the internet millions of times now by people across the world.
After months on end of hard practice the teenager was finally able to complete the stunt to perfection. The record breaking attempt was completed on the 26th August 2010. Along the way the young daredevil suffered many injuries and even broke one wheelchair.
‘I feel so happy to have finally done it,’ said the 18-year-old, who goes by the name of aka Wheelz. The record breaking stunt took a while to perfect.
The record breaking stunt entailed the daredevil ‘Aaron’ being propelled at high speeds from a bungee jump cord onto a waiting ramp. He was then required to use his powerful upper body strength in order to carry out the double spin before coming to a perfect landing on his wheels.
Aaron was born with the condition spina bifida but has refused to let the condition interfere with his life. He is a self confessed adrenaline junkie and originates from Las Vegas where he spent the majority of his child hood in skate parks. He carried out the same tricks as his friends did but in his chair. ‘I grew to like my chair because it was like having a skateboard with me all the time.’
Due to the success of his record breaking attempt Aaron has now become well known across America and he is currently on tour with the TV show Nitro Circus which showcases people partaking in gripping stunts around the world.
Aaron does not see his recent record breaking stunt as the end of the road for his daredevil ways though, he now plans on performing a front flip and then a double flip and adds that,’ There will always be another stunt to try.

This is a quote from Tiger Woods: “I didn’t originally go along with the equipment changing everyone else was doing, and I got left behind.” If you don’t upgrade your equipment, you are sure to get left behind.
Illegal knock off clubs place a bogus brand label on a club. This violates trademarks, copyrights and patents law. If a manufacturer makes a club just like a Callaway club, as long as that manufacturer does not place a Callaway label on the club, they are within the law.
The same ingredients and specs that are found in a brand named club can be replicated in a clone club. When you investigate online for a quality factory brand named club, you’ll get a club that exactly matches a brand name. Any custom fit and tweak that compliment your game are available.

While not are duplicate copies of each other, they deliver nearly the same performance. Their characteristics and features differ from car to car and need to be fitted. The manufacturers copy the same performance characteristics from each other and incorporate those same features in their tires.
Golf club clones are manufactured with the same materials that the brand names use. They get their supplies from similar sources. They use the same shaft supplies, the heads are made from the same materials, and grip suppliers are the same.

The Green Bay Packers used 21 second quarter points and three Aaron Rodgers touchdown passes to easily dispatch the punchless Cleveland Browns 31-3 on Sunday. Rodgers threw two of his three touchdowns during the second quarter onslaught, adding a fourth quarter tally for good measure. Ryan Grant added–8 yards of rushing and a touchdown in the victory, in which the Packers dominated the statistical battle. Green Bay improved their 2009 NFL record to 4-2, while Cleveland slumped to 1-6.
NFL football betting enthusiasts who laid the -8′ with Green Bay as road favorites cashed their tickets with the lopsided victory. Green Bay improved to 4-2 against the NFL pointspread while the Browns dropped to 3-4 against the number. The 34 points scored went UNDER the posted total of 41′.
The Packers upped their intensity early in the game, after quarterback Aaron Rodgers was punched in the face during a scrum. He recounts what happened next:
“One of the linemen came over and said, ‘Who was it? We got your back. That means a lot to me and that means a lot to our team.”
David Bowens was the perpetrator, though he insisted he was simply playing hard:
“I was just trying to grab anything I had. It wasn’t malicious, I was just trying to get a stop. I apologized to him for it. He can call it what he wants to call it, but the refs didn’t call it. I’d treat him different if he was passing the ball, that’s different. But if he’s running the ball, he’s a running back. It’s called football.”
Browns’ quarterback Derek Anderson lamented his team’s struggles in postgame comments:
“We aren’t good right now. That’s it. Period. We haven’t executed. We haven’t done the right things to win ballgames. We haven’t run the ball effectively, thrown it where we needed to. We haven’t protected up front like we need to and caught it when we need to.”
Head coach Eric Mangini sounded a similar tone:
“It’s a very disappointing performance across the board. I don’t think we played very well. I don’t think we coached very well. I thought we were making progress in a lot of areas. I don’t think we showed that today — at all.”
The Packers now face a big game next Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings which will feature Brett Favre’s first return to Green Bay in a visiting uniform. The Packers are a -3 home favorite with the total set at 48. They’ll face the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers the following week before hosting the Dallas Cowboys on November 15. Cleveland will travel to Chicago for a game against the Bears next week, with the Browns installed as a +13′ road underdog and the total set at 40′.

The English Premier League season is only a couple of weeks old, but newly promoted Burnley has already pulled off what may be the biggest upset of the season in all of European soccer. In their first home game at the top level of English soccer in 33 years, Robbie Blake scored early in the game and Burnley held on to upset reigning league champions Manchester United before 20,000 jubilant fans.
The Clarets were putting good pressure on Man U goaltender Ben Foster early in the game, and Blake made their effort pay at the 18 minute mark when he scored on a near post volley. That was the only score of the game, despite the best efforts of the visitors who seemingly awoke from their slumber at this point and began to put the pressure on the Burnley upstarts. Man U would hold a 19-9 shots on goal advantage for the game, and hold a lopsided 67%/33% time of possession edge.
Still, Burnley would hold the advantage on the big scoreboard at the end of the game thanks to the steady play of their netminder Brian Jensen who withstood the Man U onslaught to preserve the historic victory. Afterwards, Burnley manager Owen Coyle commended Man U general Sir Alex Ferguson with his graciousness in defeat:
“Sir Alex dealt with defeat in the gracious manner I would expect of someone like that. He is the best manager in world football and I still expect Manchester United to be champions.”
Burnley has been the favorite to be relegated back to the Champions League, and they looked like they didnt belong after a 2-0 opening game loss to Stoke City. Coyle addressed the teams critics in his postgame comments:
“One or two have already written us off. I am not surprised about that. When you look at the financial side, we will have to produce every week. Outside this club, everybody looked at our first five games and expected we would be on zero points. We were disappointed on Saturday and we needed to be brave this time. Now we have a massive game on Sunday against Everton, although whatever happens we are three points better off than we were at this stage in the Championship last season.”
Sir Alex Ferguson conceded that his team didnt play well, but wasnt about to minimize Burnleys victory:
“It was a bad performance considering the chances and possession we had. Maybe if we had got the penalty just before half time it would have made a difference but in saying that we were too frivolous with the chances we had. It has been a long time out of the top flight for them and you cannot deny them their victory.”
Burnley will host Everton this weekend and Manchester United will hit the road to face Wigan at DW Stadium.

The Minnesota Vikings’ decision to facilitate Brett Favre’s latest ‘unretirement’ is looking better and better with each passing week. This past Sunday, Favre’s charges moved to 6-0 on the season with a wild 33-31 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens posted 21 fourth quarter points to charge back and claim the lead late, but Favre led a rally to set up place kicker Ryan Longwell’s 31 yard game winning field goal. Baltimore evened their record at 3-3 on the season with the loss.
Minnesota has been one of the surprise teams of the season, and that fact has also enriched those who bet on NFL football. They didn’t get the money on this occasion, however, as the Ravens took the cheese as a +3 road underdog. Still, it was only the Vikings’ second loss of the year against the NFL pointspread (4-2) while Baltimore has also been solid against the number with a 4-2 mark. The cover broke a two game ATS losing streak for the Ravens. The 64 combined points soared OVER the posted total of 45′. The Vikings has gone OVER in five of six while Baltimore has exceeded the total in four of six.
Baltimore QB Joe Flacco got the Ravens in range for a last second game winning field goal, but Steven Hauschka’s 44 yard try went wide left. After the game, he took his miss hard:
“It’s tough for me. I feel like I let them down. That’s something I have to live with.”
Ravens’ running back Ray Rice disputed Hauschka’s self anointed scapegoat status:
“We didn’t lose that game because of Hauschka’s miss. If we start fast and put points on the board, our defense starts fast, I think the game is a totally different outcome. But that’s what happens when you play against great teams.”
Flacco praised his team for fighting back from a 27-10 fourth quarter deficit:
“We realize what kind of fighters we have in our locker room and that’s what we’re going to use the rest of the year. I think we were 3-3 last year, not that that matters, but we can overcome anything.”
Ray Lewis concurred with his quarterback’s comments:
“Every game has been a game of inches. But for me, being in this business for so long, it just speaks volumes for our team in the way we fight, regardless of the circumstance we’ve been put in.”
The Vikings now face arguably their toughest scheduling stretch of the season, beginning with a trip to the ‘Steel City’ for a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Vikings are a +4 road underdog with the total set at 45. The following week Minnesota heads to Green Bay for what is sure to be an emotional return for Favre. The Ravens will face another undefeated team after a bye week, hosting the Denver Broncos on November 1.

When asking casino goers what their favourite games are many people will say Blackjack. Blackjack is one of the oldest casino games around. This is why it has become over the many years since its inception one of the most popular games to be played in casinos worldwide. The popularity of Blackjack is evident for all to see with a regular Google search returning over 14 million hits.
I intend to discuss a key point. A much heated debate amongst regular Blackjack players is whether this is a game simply of luck of the cards or skilful play. Many players throughout the world have their own theories supporting either side of the argument. Some believe in luck, some believe in skill, so let us see what makes these people believe each theory.
The timing of certain moves is what millions of gamblers define Blackjack as a skill game. According to skilful players the timing of doubling down or splitting, or standing or hitting is of upmost importance for Blackjack success. Every regular Blackjack player is familiar with the strategy table which apparently shows what to do and when to do it depending on your cards.
The luck argument is supported by the fact that the cards can provide millions of different combinations and sequences of cards too difficult to predict. This point grabs many peoples attention as the next card even though the law of averages says it must be high, may not be. The consistent inconsistency of cards and never truly knowing the coming card without cheating is what harbours many card players belief that Blackjack is luck.
Card counting is also touted as another possible method of increasing your odds at the tables. Card counting techniques basically require the player to keep a record of fallen cards to increase your odds of successfully predicting the next card. I am positive that if you are a believer in skill or luck you shall be attending the Blackjack rings soon so best of luck.
play blackjack online.

Despite a late race flat tire that necessitated an unplanned pit stop, Denny Hamlin raced like a madman down the stretch and took the checkered flag at Monday’s Goody’s Fast Pain Relief 500 NASCAR race at West Virginia’s Martinsville Speedway. It was Hamlin’s third career victory on the oldest track on the NASCAR circuit.
Hamlin’s success at the track didn’t escape unnoticed by NASCAR betting enthusiasts, and those that backed him as a +750 choice to win received a nice payday. Series points leader Jimmie Johnson was the betting favorite for the race. Hamlin won the fall race at Martinsville last year and won this race in 2008.
Giving up the lead with ten laps remaining to head to the pit for fresh tires, Hamlin drove like a man possessed to regain the lead and take the victory. He somehow moved from 9th place to the lead in just four laps, and talked about his wild ride after the race:
“That’s hard to do. I had to bully my way through there towards the end, but everybody was just running into everyone. I flattened my tire with Matt Kenseth going down the backstretch and just somehow made it work.”
Hamlin got around seven time Martinsville winner Jeff Gordon with help from teammate Joey Logano in the shootout during the final laps and held on for the victory. Race favorite Jimmie Johnson finished 9th, which was good enough to give him the overall series points lead. Greg Biffle is second in the standings, with Matt Kenseth in third.
NASCAR will head to Phoenix, Arizona for the Subway Fresh Fit 600 a week from Saturday before moving on to Texas for a race April 18th. They’ll then head to the superspeedway at Talladega, Alabama for the second restrictor plate race of the season on April 25th.

The Houston Texans produced a 17 point outburst in the second quarter and went on to beat the host Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-20 in the NFL preseason finale for both teams. Rex Grossman carried the bulk of the workload for Houston, finishing with 197 yards and two touchdowns in an effort that likely secured him the #3 quarterback position on the Texans roster behind Matt Schaub and Dan Orlovsky. The Texans evened their NFL preseason record at 2-2, while the Bucs dropped to 1-3.
Houston rewarded their NFL betting backers by winning outright as a +3 road underdog. The 47 combined points went well OVER the posted total of 33. In fact, with 27 points scored in the first half the two teams came very close to topping that total in the opening two quarters alone.
After the game, Grossman took a philosophical outlook on his immediate future as an NFL quarterback:
“I don’t control any of that. All I wanted to do was go out and have a good game for either this team or somebody else. That’s not up to me. I thought I did that, and we’ll see what happens. I feel decent about my audition. If they cut me, then hopefully somebody else will pick me up.”
Texans coach Gary Kubiak was was pleased with Grossman’s effort:
“I was very impressed. You could see signs of that during camp, whenever he was working that first seven or eight days. Obviously he knows what this league’s about. He knows how to make plays. He was ready to play.”
When asked specifically about Grossman, Kubiak demurred and spoke of the challenge of cutting the roster down to 53 players:
“I don’t know. … We’ve got to look at a lot of things. It’s a tough process, that 53 situation, so we’ll see. He sure as heck helped himself.”
The game was the NFL debut of Greg Olson as the Bucs’ offensive coordinator. Olson was promoted Thursday when former Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski was sacked as the teams offensive mastermind after a sluggish output in the preseason.
After the game, Bucs head coach Raheem Morris was pleased with the performance of #1 draft pick Josh Freeman, wholl likely end up as the teams third string QB. Freeman threw two interceptions in one half of play, but also dished out a touchdown pass and earned his coachs praise:
“He came out a little shaky. He had to make a couple of great scrambles there, make a couple of good third-down conversions to end that thing with a two-minute drive to get us in the end zone It’s what you want to see. You want to see these guys play better every time you go out there.”
The Texans will kick off the NFL regular season at home, hosting the New York Jets on Sunday. Theyll take to the road the next weekend, taking on the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. Tampa will host the Dallas Cowboys in their opening contest of the NFL 2009 regular season.
