Georgian Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili

posted by Ahhh Noggles! on Feb 13

I have been looking forward to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games for quite some time. I have been full of excitement. I have been filled with an overwhelming feeling of pride that was sparked even stronger when I was lucky enough to have my picture taken holding the Olympic Torch (unlit). What a memory, what a chance of a lifetime.

Then earlier today I was struck with overwhelming sadness that I still cannot let go of. A very young man, only 21 years old, who worked hard, was obviously determined, filled with Olympic dreams and once full of life, in a split second died on a practice run preparing for his Olympic Luge competition.

I am sure that Nodar Kumaritahvili is in the minds and hearts of people worldwide. I have no doubt that people worldwide,whether they are Nodar's family, friends, or perfect strangers have deep sadness in their hearts tonight.

I have watched the video of Nodar's tragic luge accident over and over. Stunned at his loss of life. I have tried to search the internet for anything that I could put about Nodar and his luge career other than his death today, but cannot find anything. Everything is about his death. Why? Because it is so shocking, so sad.

I hope that everyone, everywhere, whether you are an athlete or not, thinks of Nodar tonight and of his family.

My sympathies go out to the Georgian athletes, Nodar's country, Nodar's friends and Nodar's family. My sympathy is sent to you at such a difficult time. As they Olympic Cauldron was lit tonight, it made me think just how quickly Nodar's Olympic dreams and his life were extinguished. May you rest in Peace.

Widest Ollie?

posted by Ahhh Noggles! on Feb 1

What is an Ollie? If you want to read about the History of the Ollie then Click Here.

For the brief description of an Ollie; it is an aerial trick on a skateboard invented by Alan "Ollie" Gelfand in 1978. It basically entails the skateboarder getting airtime with the board without using hands.

Check out this video. It will give you a visual on an Ollie and it is pretty long. How long of an Ollie can you do?
