SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – Whenever Axopar Boats and Brabus Marine work together, there are plenty of superlatives, and their joint product premieres at boot Düsseldorf are almost legendary by now. The launch of the Brabus Shadow 900 Deep Blue Signature Edition on Majorca met with enormous enthusiasm and will soon be followed by a new version of the Axopar 37-based boat: the Brabus Shadow 900 Stealth Green Signature Edition.

In all of Brabus’ projects, the company aims to achieve a “one-second wow” factor, whether it’s a car, a motorbike, a watch or a boat, and so this superboat has been enhanced by numerous top-notch details, e.g. her unmistakable, meticulous paintwork, Sunrise upholstery and cool interior design. The boat can easily reach over 60 knots and is one of the best boats in the market in terms of handling and performance.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – The Absolute 52 Fly is Italian design at its best. With this 52-foot boat, the Italian boat builders have expanded their current flybridge fleet. The newcomer is said to have all the essential features of her sister vessel, the Absolute 72 Fly, which is 20 feet longer. This includes a flybridge with an integrated terrace, a large stern terrace on the main deck, a generously sized foredeck and three spacious double cabins below deck.

Larger-than-average window surfaces, a three-part sliding door and a glazed rear wall of the cockpit allow plenty of light into the interior of this 16.76-metre power yacht. The saloon offers a 360-degree panorama view. The windows can be opened electrically, and air conditioning is standard in this class.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – Participating in this year’s 50th Anniversary Speed Week, held at Coniston Water in Cumbria, Cox Marine has achieved the industry’s first ever Diesel Outboard World* Speed Record.

The Cox Marine team and their vessel Pegasus, surpassed their own three prior speed records, recorded earlier this week, to clinch a coveted World Record title, for World’s fastest Diesel outboard* on Thursday 3rd November achieving an average speed of 62.27mph.

Measured across a kilometre long course requiring a flying start, Pegasus, a 21ft Hallett Vector, piloted by experienced powerboat racer Adam Brown, was required to travel the course’s distances in both directions, within an hour to minimise any potential wind advantage. With official Water Speed Record timekeepers’ oversight, both time and the speed in both directions, are recorded and then averaged over the two runs constituting the final speed.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 9, 2023 – The successful re-start of spoga horse 2022 was accompanied by a number of new features: A new concept, a new innovation prize, new special zones, new themes. This new alignment went down well with both the exhibitors and visitors and will be continued in 2023 accordingly.

Companies founded within the last five years can submit their entries regardless of whether they have a stand or not - in the scope of the Start-Up Village, spoga horse is at the same time creating new space for young, innovative entrepreneurs. This will further increase the opportunities and visibility of these companies.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 5, 2022 – According to the Pew Research Center, Generation Z — those born after 1996 — have been coined “the first generation of true digital natives.” This generation has grown up in a digital world, more technology-focused than anyone in the recreation field has experienced before. For this reason, all campus professionals need to be evaluating the technology offered in their facilities. As such, below are three different types of technology to invest in this year to attract new students:

Sprint 8

According to the Sprint 8 website, the program is an efficient, fat-burning HIIT workout that gives participants a complete cardio exercise experience, including warm-up and cool-down, in just 20 minutes. Most people see results in eight weeks or less.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 5, 2022 – New cardio equipment in the USF Campus Recreation Center allows users to convert their workout into electricity. USF is the first college or university in Florida to have 12 SportsArt ECO-POWR treadmills, ellipticals and indoor cycles. Each one-hour workout can power a desktop computer for at least two hours. Users can keep track of their progress through a digital leaderboard that displays real-time data on how much electricity students generate on the equipment.

“It’s nice to see USF taking steps towards cleaner energy overall,” said Parker Klay, fourth-year student and user of the SportsArt elliptical. “We should have more of these. We have a very active student body and should take advantage of it.”

When 23-year-old Dawson Broad dove headfirst into a pool on Independence Day, he couldn’t have foreseen the resulting injury that would change his life, leaving him unable to walk with limited mobility in his upper extremities.

While recovering in the hospital, the young student athlete learned through social media about Buffalo’s newest rehabilitation facility, Motion Project: The Natalie Barnhard Center for Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation and Recovery.

Dawson hoped the Center’s state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge approach to rehab could help him ambulate and work towards becoming more independent.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 5, 2022 – SHELTON — A Shelton nonprofit rehabilitation center has managed to not only survive, but thrive in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moving with Hope — long known for providing affordable care to those diagnosed with debilitating physical disabilities — received about $600,000 in COVID relief funds. Owners Tad and Joanne Duni invested the federal money in state-of-the-art equipment and hiring experienced staff for the 10-year-old center.

“I thought we would never get this chance again, so we went for it,” said Tad Duni, who hosted U.S Rep. Jim Himes last week for a tour of the facility, now located on Controls Drive.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 5, 2022 – The sports equipment manufacturer SportsArt presented its new G260 rowing machine, a piece of equipment that has a patented micro-inverter that allows users to generate electricity and offset their carbon footprint while enjoying high-intensity training.

With the G260 Rower SportsArt expands its ECO-PWR TM product line . ECO-PWR TM products convert up to 74% of human energy into usable electricity. That means one hour of exercise with an ECO-PWR TM machine can produce enough electricity to power a desktop computer for 2.5 hours.

In particular, the G260 rower features integrated handlebar controls that allow the user to effortlessly adjust resistance levels on the fly. It has an electromagnetic braking system that generates the sensation of rowing on the water.
