Bonés Skiroll – Here’s To First Five Years Or How To Build Profitable Company From Scratch

Leaders, Money & Finance, Newsfeed

Where there is a will, there is a way. Just ask Jorge Vidal. It all started in 2013 when a former television reporter and avid sport enthusiast from Jaca, Spain was looking for a new endurance training option as his injured knee was craving for one with less of impact. He was introduced to rollerskiing, then highly exotic, nearly unheard of in that part of Europe. He loved it – with a catch: "In Spain, in those years only Marwe rollerskis were available in stores, but at a price I didnt want to pay because I just wanted to try this sport" .

Gear News, Newsfeed

"This is a choice for everyone who loves the Norwegian cross country skiing.

Historic Monument And Rollerski Track In One? Come To Berlin!

Newsfeed, Travel & Mass Sport

There is no other city in the world that epitomizes the history of the XXth century more than the German capital. And if you've been to Berlin, the chances are you dropped by Tempelhof Airfield, the location as worth visiting as any other monument in the city. The place has many claims to fame , but two really stand out: - It was the world's first true airport at the time where planes elsewhere were pretty much unloading passengers into shacks – built in the 1930s to impress, to fascinate, to regale a visitor. - It is also the world's very first large airport to be decommissioned and turned into…
