Like Mountain Biking?

Let's say you're one of those extreme sport guys. Ya know, the kinda guy that blows paycheck after paycheck on the top gear for every adrenaline pumping sport just in case the wind should blow him in that direction.

Well, if your sport of choice is mountain biking there is one name in bikes that rises to the top: Titus Cycles. They make some of the sickest rides around. These bikes are bomb proof and highly sought after. So, what if I told you that you could get a top-of-the-line Titus Cycle for free?

Here's how. They are launching a "contest" of sorts that launches this month and will roll out in 3 stages.

January 2010: mountain bikers are invited to submit an original Titus tattoo design, plus the size and place they are willing to have it inked, at titusti.com/humanbillboard. The winner, by open vote, will be filmed getting his or her tattoo and, on completion, receive a 2010 Titus FTM Carbon, value: $5170.

April 2010: the first couple opting, at titusti.com/spandexwedding, to be wed in his and hers Titus racing jerseys will get a video of the ceremony and, on completion, a men’s and a women’s 2010 Titus X Carbon, value: $7600 x 2.

July 2010: the first to sign, at titusti.com/rockstar29er, to have his or her name legally changed to "Rockstar 29’er" will, on completion, receive, as ad states, his “namesake,” a 2010 Titus Rockstar 29’er, value: $6265.

Get on it! January is already here.

And here's a video that showcases the Titus 2010 lineup. Sick.

Which Girls You Should Avoid

From manly sage and famed whiskey drinker John Carney comes some sound holiday advice for the fellas. AVOID WOMEN...not all women, just certain types.

But how does a guy decide which woman to avoid?

I'm glad you asked. John has provided us with a very specific list on his blog "Rise If You Must" called his "Annual Guide To Holiday Romance".

Check it out and avoid winding up with the wrong woman this holiday season. My personal favorite is number 17. Avoid any girl with more tattoos than you. She’ll never respect you.
