ZURICH, SWITZERLAND (Team Geared Up) - Ah, electricity.  One of those natural and fundamentally important parts of our everyday life.

9:00am Techie Tuesday: Hydro Scooters and Biker Blinkers

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND (Team Geared Up) - This first one is probably one of the strangest hybrid devices I’ve ever seen. It’s called the SkidScooter and its an “amphibious scooter”. The idea is that its a device that can help you get across two different environments. It is a k[...] Read More »

7:50am Expedition: Jaccuzzi on Summit of Mont Blanc

LONDON, UK, (Team Geared Up) - This one wins all the prizes. Forget ascending Everest blind, as an amputee or even running the A-Z of Marathons, this is way cooler.

4:00pm Can You See Me Now?

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) Can You See Me Now is a chase game played on-line and on the streets and today it was happening in the Dublin Docklands! I think the idea is that online players are dropped into virtual streets and try to track down the actual Blast Theory runners on the real streets[...] Read More »

LONDON, UK (Team Geared Up) - Apologies that this is way off-topic, but taking these photos yesterday put such a smile on my face! And so, I’m sure any out-going adventurous person will smile too. It may make your Sunday! After 30 minutes… Arrested! Shocking. -Robin- [...] Read More »

12:00pm Video: ‘Kill & Grill 4000′ Rocket Launcher for Irish Army

LONDON, UK (Team Geared Up) - This Irish university project “Improving Armies” video is a little surreal with the Irish accent! Improving Armies is an infomercial spoof for “Marine Enterprises”. Worth a watch. Credit to a mate Paul & group for creating the footage and [...] Read More »
