Safari
April 2 – 2007Â
In the name of a quick surf-trip with friends and family, this will be a slow week here at Soccernista. Stuff may drop from time to time but, you know.
I promise to return charged up for the beginning of the MLS season, if you promise to come back with a hankering for suspect journalism and video clips of driven balls to the crotch. Until then…
(Update: Yes, that is a “Soccer Wave.”  A video chronicling its utter uselessness can be found here.)
I used to have one of these, except I just called it my garage door

Was that the Director’s Cut?
Why the fuck did it need to be 3 minutes? Unless you have an IQ under 30, you’d probably got the jist of it well under a minute.
And then, to add that 3-second shot of the water hose at the end, showing you how it’s weighed down — odd. Poorly conceived artistic and editing choices.
Maybe I’m missing something. Maybe it’s a metaphor globalization or free trade.
Or maybe, it’s the lamest attempt at finding the ‘next big million dollar idea’ since the “Jump to Conclusions” mat.

SoccerWave Teaches ball control with every part of the body, from trapping the ball, to heading the ball, to volley shots.
When you kick a ground ball into the SoccerWave, the spot where the ball hits determines where that rebound goes — high, low, right, or left. React fast using the right body part to improve your skill level.
The graduated curve keeps the ball in action. Practice split-second decisions and the moves that live-action play demands.
So, I guess it you still want to beat your head against a wall or start fires with Flint you can do so.
The rest of us are looking at the future of growing the interest in Soccer and helping kids along the way.

[...] the world record for patience by spending a week in an RV for a surf trip with my parents. In my “don’t expect much this week” post, you’ll recall I made a cheap pun regarding a certain piece of soccer equipment. I also [...]
