Gear News, Newsfeed
Let’s start with admission: it’s great fun to write about something new, different and, with a right push, with a potential of changing things around. Drastically and to the better. Let us explain. You all have noticed that in the past few years the “carbon fiber revolution” has arrived to cross country skiing. First all boots manufacturers then ski makers ( not all) turn to new ways of adding stability, cutting down weight and utilizing high stiffness carbon fibers provide.

Newsfeed, Training & Outfitting
At least two thirds of elite athletes use dietary supplements, according to one oft-quoted study. And if athelets use these products, sometimes referred to as “ergogenic aids”, themselves it would be outright weird if they didn't partake in the promotion. Not on the market worth a whopping USD 120+ billion globally. Cristiano Ronaldo promotes Herbalife and Tom Brady the whole wellness / nutrition system called in case you forgot, TB12™. And only in the xcskiing hitherto nobody was pushing her or his line of products.
