Guess the Sneaker #3 - the answer

I made this one too easy! ;-) Here they are in all their glory: the Adidas Pin wrestling shoe.

Does anyone know if these great shoes ever came in out in any other colour than red?

Adidas Box Champ Speed

I've long been a fan of these boxing boots. I've wrestled in them many a time - they make great wrestling boots. But I've not actually stepped into a boxing ring to try them out.

Lacing up in these boys takes a helluva long time - about 5 minutes for each boot! But the result is so worth it! I hope you enjoy seeing them move as much as I do :-)

Black and White Bridge

Aah, nothing like a good bridge-out, is there? :-) This shot is also for those who've asked to see more of my hairy legs ;-) (Can't see the attraction myself!)

You can get some great results when you take a real close look at a pair of sneakers. These classic plimsolls (just like mine) reveal lots of interesting textures, surfaces and patterns. Great shot and thanks to Stevsoll!

I wish this was my sneaker cupboard!

Guess the Sneaker #3

Hey, sorry I've not been around for a while. One of those busy times...

Let's get things going again with another round of guess the sneaker. Waddaya reckon?

Guess the Sneakers #2 - the answer

Here it is, the Adidas Superstar. This is a white on white model with gold detailing - which you can just see in this photo, at the heel. Closest guess was the hi-top version, the Pro Model (Those shelltoes are a bit of a giveaway!)

More "guess the sneaker" soon!

Wrestling Poster

Another in my occasional series of "home-made" wrestling posters.

First video action

My first attempt at a video post. Thought I'd start by showing these wonderful old Bata Bullets. Can't help wishing they were still regularly used on the mats today.

"The Last Wrestlers"

I stumbled on this book today during my lunchbreak and I had to have it. As a pleasant change from endless cretinous WWF books full of twattish fake wrestling I was delighted to find this book, by Marcus Trower. It looks like a genuine appreciation of real, physical man to man wrestling. I reckon it's going to be a great read and I'll tell you all about it when I'm done.

Why not pick up a copy? It seems to be easily available through all the online book retailers!
