Podcasts about tom sims

Two Richmond young guns are special guests on the latest episode of Talking Tigers. Hugo Ralphsmith, interviewed in the podcast’s studio, discusses the impressive progress he’s made in his wing role under Adem Yze’s coaching, plus the overall development of the Club’s exciting, youthful, playing group. Tom Sims, meanwhile, gets a “grilling” from esteemed Tiger veteran Nathan Broad in “Broady’s Zingers”. Also on this week’s show, the TT team analyse Richmond’s bold performance against Greater Western Sydney last Saturday and pay tribute to the likes of Dion Prestia, Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper, Toby Nankervis, Tom Lynch, Sam Banks, Ben Miller and Kane McAuliffe for their excellent efforts throughout the contest. The “Going up the Country” segment features a small Victorian town where one of Richmond’s greatest-ever players grew up. In “60 Years of MCG Memories”, the focus is on arguably the best Grand Final fairytale story in League football history. And in “Hidden Tigerland”, club historian Rhett Bartlett has a fascinating tale about Richmond ‘Immortal’ Jack Titus. For all things Yellow and Black, make sure you tune in to Talking Tigers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Snow is blissful, it's pure, it's white, it's serene, it's a siren call. But it's also very dark, it's death. The darkest white is the perfect analogy for an avalanche,” said New York Times bestselling author Eric Blehm on Episode 35 about his latest book, The Darkest White, chronicling the life and untimely passing of legendary snowboarder Craig Kelly. Widely regarded as the Michael Jordan of snowboarding, Kelly was a pioneer in this uniquely American sport, and in his book, Blehm dives deep in to Kelly's life and his pivotal role in the history of snowboarding and splitboarding. Blehm also goes into remarkable detail about the 2003 La Traviata avalanche in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, where Kelly and six other skiers lost their lives, including Truckee local Kathy Kessler. Our chat with Blehm covers a bit of the history here in Lake Tahoe, a bit about Kelly and an insightful discussion around the human factors involved in the tragic avalanche.

For anyone immersed in skateboarding during the late 1970s, Tom "Wally" Inouye remains an indelible figure. Among his numerous magazine covers, his three iconic Skateboarder covers stand out as hallmarks of his influence. Born in Los Angeles on January 22, 1959, Wally's journey into skateboarding began in 1967 when he repurposed his sister's roller skate wheels into a makeshift board. In '73, Wally earned the nickname "Wally" after inventing the wall ride, a revolutionary move that would shape the sport.In '76, Wally turned pro and signed with Sims, dominating magazine coverage unlike any other at the time. He even pulled off back-to-back Skateboarder covers in '77, cementing his place in skateboarding history. Wally ingeniously launched Inouye's pool service in '76 a clever ploy to gain access to backyard pools for skate purposes! By posing as a legitimate pool service, Wally and his friends could drain the pools, skate, and then refill them without arousing suspicion. This also inadvertently provided Wally with valuable intel on prime skate spots.Wally's passion for sideways sports extends to snowboarding, which he embraced early on after forming a solid friendship with his sponsor Tom Sims.  Wally was even lucky enough to test out the first snowboards made by Tom Sims! Wally instantly fell in love with snowboarding after Tom opened his eyes to this new sport that turned his local mountains into giant skateparks and the best thing was snow was so much softer than concrete. In 2019, Wally's contributions were recognized with induction into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame. His pioneering spirit helped shape both skateboarding and snowboarding into the vibrant lifestyles and sports they are today. Sit back and immerse yourself in the stories of this true legend, whose influence continues to resonate throughout the skateboarding and snowboarding communities.http://www.sk8ips.com/index.htmlhttps://wallyspeppersauce.comE-Stone -  @Stonies_Buds  Tom "Wally" Inoeye @ips_wallyhttp://www.sk8ips.com/index.htmlhttps://wallyspeppersauce.comBe sure to Subscribe to our channel on YouTube too https://www.youtube.com/@StoniesBudsand hit that like button!Thanks to all of our Patreon members for the support as well as being a part of the Stonie's Buds Family!!!  For more information on Patreon check it out here. https://www.patreon.com/StoniesBudsNew Stonie's Buds Merch at www.stoniesbuds.comSpecial Thanks--Moonchild- https://moonchildsnowboards.comGnomie Mugz - https://gnomiemugz.comStonie Budz Print Shop - https://307o96449135872.3dcartstores.comThanks so much for the support and we will see you next week!Support the show

Season 2 begins!!! We made it!!! And we have a NEW fun 8-bit theme song known from the awesome Busy Bea app, written by artist Mike Dennison (@mikd33, @midnight, beaaday.com) and app developer Brian Kokernak (@kokernutz, MTV Apps, headrush.net). Check them out please, they are amazing guys. We're starting the new season right with the wonderful, smooth talking Tom Sims (@TomSimsComedy, Great American Comedy Festival Finalist, Great Southwest Laff Off Winner) who come over and watched a very changing episode of the Golden Girls, if you will. We talked about Spanish flies, Gazoo from the Flinstones and gay to straight mink conversion.    

In den Jahren 1975/76 bauten Jake Carpenter Burton und Tom Sims ihre ersten Snowboards. Es waren die ersten Vertreter einer neuen Generation von Snowboards. Mittlerweile sind die Snowboards nicht mehr von den Skipisten wegzudenken. Bedingt durch diesen enormen Boom wurden natürlich die Krankenhäuser und Ambulanzen in der Nähe einschlägiger Skigebiete mehr und mehr mit Verletzten dieser neuen Wintersportart konfrontiert. Aus diesem Grund war es notwendig sich einmal eingehender mit dieser Problematik zu beschäftigen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es die besonderen Eigenheiten (schräge Fußstellung, feste Fixierung auf einem Board, etc.) dieser Sportart näher zu beleuchten und aufgetretene Verletzungen zu analysieren und in Relation zu den verschiedenen Bindungs- und Boardtypen zu bringen. Als weitere Besonderheit ist die Betrachtung besonders qualifizierter Fahrer zu nennen. Ausgewertet wurden die Fragebögen von insgesamt 100 Verletzten. Die hauptsächlich männlichen Fahrer (72%, gegenüber 28% weibliche) hatten ein Durchschnittsalteralter von 21,5 Jahren. Der körperliche Allgemeinzustand wurde zumeist als gut bis sehr gut beurteilt. Besonders häufig betroffen war der Schulterbereich mit 20%, die Kniegelenke mit 18%, das Sprunggelenk mit 17% und der distale Unterarm mit Handgelenk (15%). Finger (12%) und Kopf (6%) waren etwas weniger häufig betroffen, ebenso die Wirbelsäule (4%), die Unterschenkel (4%), die Oberschenkel (2%), die Oberarme und das Abdomen (je 1%). Zur besseren Vergleichbarkeit wurde der Körper in folgende vier Regionen eingeteilt (in Klammern Verletzungshäufigkeit): • Obere Extremitäten (49%), • untere Extremitäten (41%), • Kopf (6%), • Stamm (4%). Unter den Verletzungsarten waren die Frakturen mit 38% am Häufigsten vertreten, gefolgt von den Distorsionen mit 22%, den Kapsel-Band Verletzungen mit 19% und den Luxationen mit 11%. Seltener traten Schädelverletzungen (5%), Kontusionen (3%) und Weichteilverletzungen (2%) auf. 65% der Frakturen traten an den oberen Extremitäten auf, wohingegen bei den Distorsionen mit 50% eher die unteren Extremitäten betroffen waren. Bei den Kapsel-Band Verletzungen sind ebenfalls hauptsächlich die unteren Extremitäten (84,2%) betroffen. Ein wesentlicher Punkt dieser Arbeit ist die Betrachtung der verwendeten Ausrüstung der Verletzten. Da vorwiegend DSDV registrierte Rennläufer befragt wurden ist der Anteil an sogenannten Raceboards natürlich sehr hoch. In der vorliegenden Studie fanden sich 46% Raceboardfahrer und 15% Allroundboardfahrer. Freeridingboards waren mit 15% und Halfpipeboards mit 24% vertreten. Die Verteilung der Bindungs- und Schuhtypen muss man aufgrund der Charakteristik im Zusammenhang mit der Verteilung der Boardtypen sehen. In 63% der Fälle kam eine Plattenbindung mit Hardboot zum Einsatz. Die Softbindung in Kombination mit einem Softboot wurde von 37% der Befragten eingesetzt. Die Verteilung der beiden möglichen Fußstellungen, „regular“ und „goofy“, ist wie schon in anderen Untersuchungen festgestellt wurde mit 69% „regular“ und 31% „goofy“ sehr uneinheitlich. Bei der Betrachtung des Lernverhaltens fiel auf, dass die 50% der Befragten sich die Sportart selbst beigebracht hatten. In 23% der Fälle fungierte ein Freund als Lehrer und in 27% der Fälle war ein ausgebildeter Snowboardlehrer beim Erlernen der Sportart behilflich. Die Frage nach der Fahrpraxis bis zum Unfallereignis wird immer viel diskutiert. In dieser Studie lag die erste Saison mit 25% eindeutig an der Spitze. Betrachtet man die erste Saison aber genauer, so stellt sich heraus, dass das Unfallrisiko erst nach dem 10. Tag Fahrpraxis mit 81% der Befragten deutlich ansteigt. Das Fahrkönnen der untersuchten Fahrer lag mit 71% sportlicher Fahrer oder Experten auf einem sehr hohen Niveau. Trotz dieses hohen Niveaus führten nur 48% ein Aufwärmtraining durch. Dies ist umso verwunderlicher, da die Mehrzahl der Befragten aktive Rennläufer waren. Da der Snowboarder eine schräge Position auf seinem Sportgerät einnimmt stellt sich die Frage ob sich ein Snowboarder bevorzugt Verletzungen auf einer Seite zuzieht. In 64% der Fälle war die in Fahrtrichtung vorne liegende Seite betroffen und nur in 25% der Fälle die in Fahrtrichtung hinten liegende Seite. Der Rest mit 11% konnte keine Angaben bezüglich der Lateralität machen. Sehr interessante Ergebnisse lieferte die Untersuchung der eingesetzten Schutzkleidung. Nur in 38% der Fälle kam überhaupt Schutzkleidung zum Einsatz. Bemerkenswert ist die Tatsache, dass nur in zwei Fällen es zu einer Verletzung an einem geschützten Körperteil gekommen ist. Hieraus lässt sich schlussfolgern, dass die zur Verfügung stehende Schutzkleidung vermehrt eingesetzt werden sollte. Die Industrie ist aufgefordert diesem Bereich vermehrt ihr Augenmerk zu schenken. Bei den äußeren Bedingungen standen insbesondere schlechte Schneearten (Altschnee 31%, Eis 31%) im Vordergrund. Die Annahme, dass Verletzungen bevorzugt bei schlechtem Wetter vorkommen bestätigte sich nicht. 65% der Verletzungen passierten bei Sonne und guter Sicht. Bei den Verletzungsmechanismen standen die „Frontside-Stürze“ mit 43% im Vordergrund, gefolgt von den „Backside-Stürzen“ mit 24% und den Stürzen nach einem „Sprung“ mit 28%. Eher selten waren Stürze beim Liftfahren mit 4%. In 20% der Fälle kam es zu Kollisionsunfällen (11% mit festem Gegenstand, 7% mit einem Skifahrer und 2% mit einem anderen Snowboarder). Hierbei ist zu berücksichtigen, dass im Kollektiv sehr viele aktive Rennläufer erfasst wurden welche häufig Kontakt mit Slalomstangen haben (11% Kollisionen mit festem Gegenstand). Einen signifikanten Zusammenhang zwischen verletzter Körperregion und verwendetem Boardtyp gab es nicht. Ebenso nicht zwischen verwendetem Schuhtyp und verletzter Körperregion. Bei der Untersuchung der verletzten Körperregion in Abhängigkeit vom Fahrzustand ergaben sich ebenfalls keine signifikanten Ergebnisse. Tendenziell überwiegen die Verletzungen der unteren Extremitäten bei Stürzen über die Frontside- Kante mehr als bei Stürzen über die Backside-Kante. Bei den Kopf- und Wirbelsäulenverletzungen waren die Fallzahlen zu klein um vernünftige Aussagen treffen zu können. Abschließend bleibt festzuhalten, dass zukünftig eine verbesserte Schulung der Snowboardanfänger und verbesserte Schutzkleidung ins Zentrum des Interesses rücken sollte um die Anzahl der Verletzten möglichst klein zu halten.
