Bookmarks for shredders
W1ld.com
Britain-based www.W1ld.com might as well be your nonstop ticket to shredderdom. Many other websites, including ESPN’s www.EXPN.com, promise a catchall place for “extreme†sports such as snowboarding, mountain biking and wakeboarding.
The trouble is that many of the sites are not reliable, and the slick www.EXPN.com is a little too ... synergistic with ESPN’s X-Games. The “extreme†revolution may have been televised, but to me, if a gnarly act occurs and ESPN is not around, that’s OK.
The www.W1ld.com is stripped down, and its main page is done up in hard-to-read graffiti. Once I got my tagger eyes on, the rest of the site is fine. Each sport has a page that leads off with the latest gear releases and continues with an array of links to sites -- ranging from the international to the local yokel hobby site -- all devoted to that sport. New gear and links to local knowledge: Now that’s synergy.
