Shaped like an energy drink and named like one, the Ultimate Ears Boom has some kick to it -- and that kick lasts all day long.
This rugged wireless Bluetooth speaker is being touted as a more powerful and durable version of the Jawbone Jambox and has a special "acoustic skin with plasma coating" that makes it water- and stain-resistant. That means you can wash it should it get dirty, and UE is marketing it as a speaker you take with you everywhere you go –- indoors and outdoors. At 1.2 pounds, it's not heavy, but it's also not light and has a little bit of heft to it.
What's interesting about the speaker is that using it indoors I was initially a tad underwhelmed. Yeah, it delivers good sound for a speaker its size, but at $200, it's pricier than competitors such as the JBL's cylindrical
However, my appreciation for it grew when I took it outside. Over the course of the day, I stuck it on a table out on the patio, left it sitting on a bench near the edge of a basketball court, and perched it in a small tree, wedged between two branches while doing a little pond fishing (the fish didn't seem to mind and I took some perverse satisfaction in equipping a tree to have speakerphone capabilities).
I was impressed by how loud the Boom played and how long the battery lasted. I still wished it cost a little less, but in taking it for a weekend spin outside the office, I found myself becoming attached to it -- enough to think I wouldn't regret paying $200 for it.
The Boom comes in six different colors -- red, black, white, blue, pink, and moss green -- and is designed to sit horizontally or vertically, though it seems better suited to being propped up vertically.
Part of the speaker has a soft-to-the-touch rubberized finish, and the darker-colored models have tendency to show the the oil from your skin, while the lighter-colored models will show dirt and grime over time. The good news is that you can simply wash the speaker off or wipe it down with a damp cloth and it cleans up well.
Since the speaker is water-resistant, you could use it as a shower speaker, though you probably wouldn't want to keep it directly in the shower stream for too long. While UE failed to include rubberized caps for the USB and audio input ports on the first units it shipped, all units now come with those caps, and Logitech says it will send the caps to any customers who didn't them get for free.
On the end of the speaker where the audio input and USB connection are, there's a hook, so you can clip the speaker to a backpack with a carabiner. If you unscrew that hook, you'll find a threaded tripod mount.
The speaker charges via USB and is rated at 15 hours of battery life, which is very good for a portable Bluetooth speaker (I ran it for a full day from about 9 in the morning to 10 at night and then for a couple of hours the next day before the juice ran out -- that brought me to about 14.5 hours playing at mostly moderate volume levels).
There are volume controls on the speaker, but most people will simply use their smartphone or tablet as a remote. And as noted, this speaker, like the Jambox, has speakerphone capabilities.
Behind the fancy fabric covering the speaker are two 1.5-inch full-range drivers and two 2-inch passive radiators. UE, which is owned by Logitech, has designed the Boom to produce 360-degree sound, so it sounds the same whether you're standing in front of it or behind it.

Hoping Chris or someone else might be able to answer this question.
I'm currently reading "The Stolen Throne" (which reminds me very much of another story I read long ago, but can't remember the title) and have a question about bards. Will bards be assassins or have access to assassin abilities as mentioned in the novel? I really like the concept of the bard being a political agent versed in intrigue but also able to deal death.

The cinnamon-colored, exfoliating bark of the River Birch is spectacular in the winter. Lustrous, medium-green leaves. Most borer resistant birch. Tolerant of both wet soils and dry summers. Avoid very alkaline soils. Prune only when dormant and not when sap is flowing. Grows to 40' to 70', 40'-60' spread. (zones 4-9)
Wildlife Value
The catkins of the River Birch are used by redpolls and pine siskins. The foliage is eaten by deer and other browsers.
The River Birch is one of the 12 Birch species that extend southward from the Arctic Circle. It is the only one that grows naturally at low elevations in the southeastern part of the United States. Mud is a natural bed for the seedlings and the tree is excellent for holding stream banks and thus helping to keep erosion in check.
While it will tolerate moderate flooding, it also has some drought resistance.
This trees leaves are 1-1/2 to 3 inches long and 1 to 2 inches wide with tiny hairs on stem and the underside of a stout midrib.
Flower Color
Flowers are brown or green.
Bloom Time
The flowers bloom in April to May.
Fruit Description
The fruit is elongated, 1 to 3 inches long.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

Fresh burritos, ready to order
John Rider, owner of Pedro & Vinny's
Natalie Plumb, special to wtop.com
WASHINGTON - John Rider, 55, is the owner of Pedro & Vinny's, your standard burrito food truck. But there's not much that's normal about Rider's business.
He serves up to 225 people every day, and tells jokes to every one. He memorizes a few names in the process too.
Rider worked at "Pasta a la Carte," an Italian food cart near George Washington University, before Rider's wife took over the business. In January 2002, Rider moved to 15th and K Streets, the same year that "Honest to Goodness Burritos" left the spot.
After Rider served burritos on K Street for a few months, he started taking his leftover ingredients to make burritos near "Pasta a la Carte" near GW's campus. Within the year, the couple decided to combine their businesses into the burrito food truck "Pedro & Vinny's." Since then, "Pedro & Vinny's" has expanded to Arlington, Va. and has kept its home at the intersection of K and 15th streets NW.
"I come about three times a week," says Adrian Ortiz, 21, who works at a parking garage two blocks away. "It's a great place, great service, food's delicious -- you don't find that around the city."
On Wednesday, WTOP Living spent a workday with the former chef, who attended culinary school at Johnson & Wales in Providence, R.I. in 1979. We caught the day's jokes, secret sauces and frequent customers.
What's so special about your burritos?
A lot of little things. The No. 1 thing is the freshness of them. The beans and rice are cooked every morning. I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A lot of it. It tastes nice. A lot of things I do are similar to Chipotle and Baja Fresh, but the big difference is the sauces, the steam and the melting of the cheese. I like to make people think that when they leave, they have something special in their hand. All the ingredients are the best ingredients you can get.
What are your ingredients?
Black beans, pinto beans, rice, sour cream, guacamole, Pico de Gayo, a ton of hot sauces: Goose sauce, mango habanero, cilantro habanero, sun dried tomato hickery smoked habanero, coined by customers as K St. habanero.
Goose sauce?
Years ago, there was a sauce that was very popular, and I couldn't get it for six or eight weeks, and I needed to replace it so I just started poking around at recipes. I came up with my own thing. The thing I was always the best at in the kitchen was sauces. I always had good taste. So I made the mango habanero hot sauce. I'm thinking 'What the heck am I gonna put this thing in?' and I had this Grey Goose vodka bottle sitting around so I put it in that.
Customers were into that?
Those bottles became a part of the sauce cause that's what customers started calling it. I remember buying Grey Goose so we could empty bottles and drink it fast.
Tell me about your daily routine.
I get up at five in the morning. First thing I do is I put on the coffee. Go to the television and want to hear exactly what the weather is. I need to know if it's gonna rain, when it's gonna rain, whether it'll be during lunch or not. I'll go out there with an ounce of beans and rice that you wouldn't think I'd bring if it rained. But that's cause I know it might not rain during lunch. I treat that day busier than what you would think. I put everything on, head to the gym and work out for an hour or two, do the things I have to do to get ready, spend some time with my family, drive into D.C. By 3:30 p.m. I'm cleaned up and done for the day.
Is this better than a nine to five?
Oh yeah, definitely. When I'm down there, I don't have to be anybody. I'm happy with what I have. I really enjoy the customers. It's just fun. It's not like working. It's almost like entertainment: Not only am I giving people something that's really good for them, I'm making them happy. I've had bosses and was in charge of people. I enjoy not having to manage people and definitely enjoy not being managed.
What percentage are repeat customers?
Close to 100 percent. Probably nine out of 10. I could go down on Constitution and get absolutely nothing. They're not familiar with it. It's not a hot ball cart. There's always a lot of new people on K St. Usually, if somebody leaves, they'll bring somebody in to replace them. I didn't realize how big the customer base was until we moved into Arlington and didn't get any business at first. We were busy immediately after we put up "Pedro & Vinny's" signs.

A Little Meditation Goes a Long Way
I consider myself something of a prospective meditator—meaning that a serious meditation practice is always something I'm about to start… next week.
So for years, I've been making a mental note of new studies showing that meditation can literally change our brain structure in ways that might boost concentration, memory, and positive emotions.
The results seem enticing enough to make anyone drop into the full lotus position—until you read the fine print: Much of this research involves people who have meditated for thousands of hours over many years; some of it zeroes in on Olympic-level meditators who have clocked 10,000 hours or more. Pretty daunting.
Well, a new study offers some hope—and makes the benefits of meditation seem within reach even for a novice like me.
The study, published last month in the journal Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, suggests that meditating for just 30 minutes a day for eight weeks can increase the density of gray matter in brain regions associated with memory, stress, and empathy.
This Is Your Brain on Bliss
After 2,000 years of practice, Buddhist monks know that one secret to happiness is simply to put your mind to it.
The researchers tracked 16 people who were participating in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, the training program developed more than 30 years ago by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Over eight weekly meetings, the program leads participants through meditation exercises meant to build the skills of mindfulness—a moment-by-moment awareness of one's thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment. Participants are supposed to try these practices on their own between classes.
For decades, people who've completed the MBSR training have reported feeling less stress and more positive emotions; participants suffering from chronic illnesses say they experience less pain afterward.
But in this study, the researchers weren't just asking the participants how they felt. They were examining their brains, two weeks before and right after the eight-week program. Over the same period, they also scanned the brains of people who didn't receive the MBSR training.
The MBSR participants, none of whom were experienced meditators, reported spending just under half an hour per day on their meditation "homework." Yet when their brains were scanned at the end of the program, their gray matter was significantly thicker in several regions than it was before.
One of those regions was the hippocampus, which prior research has found to be involved in learning, memory, and the regulation of our emotions. The gray matter of the hippocampus is often reduced in people who suffer from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The researchers also found denser gray matter in the temporo-perietal junction and the posterior cingulated cortex of the meditators' brains—regions involved in empathy and taking the perspective of someone else—and in the cerebellum, which has been linked to emotion regulation.
These brain changes may suggest that meditation improves people's ability to regulate their emotions, control their stress levels, and feel empathy for others, says Britta Hölzel, the study's lead author and a research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Geissen in Germany. However, she stresses that these conclusions are still very speculative.
The group that didn't receive the MBSR training didn't show any of these positive changes in brain structure.
Previous research has shown that the structure of very experienced meditators' brains is different from non-meditators in certain regions, but it couldn't prove that the meditators didn't have exceptional brains to begin with. This is the first study to document a difference in brain structure from before someone starts a meditation practice to after they've gotten underway—and after only eight weeks, at that.
While other research, notably a 2003 study led by Richard Davidson of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, has shown that people's brain activity changes after the eight-week MBSR course, there hadn't been evidence that the effects of meditation can go so deep as to change the structure of the brain.
The results of this new study offer further evidence for the "plasticity" of the brain, meaning it can change its shape over time. That suggests we're not simply stuck with the neural cards we're dealt; we can fundamentally improve our cognitive and emotional capacities.
10 Things Science Says Will Make You Happy
"I think what's really positive and promising about this study is that it suggests our well-being is in our hands," says Hölzel. "What I find fascinating is that just paying attention in a different way and being more aware can have such an impact that it even changes the structure of our brain."
It's important to note that meditation isn't the only research-tested way to produce these changes in the brain. A study published last week, in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that the hippocampus of people in their 60s increased in volume after they'd walked around a track three times per week for a year; in peers who did less aerobic exercises, the hippocampus actually got smaller.
The upshot of all this research seems to be: Small steps matter. Many of us can bring about positive effects on our brains and overall well-being—without an Olympic effort.
It's enough to turn a prospective meditator like me into an actual one.

This is the car that, according to Hyundai, will usher in a new era of luxury. Them's big words, and we only got a limited amount of time to figure out how true -- or not -- they were. But the main thing you need to know about the Genesis is this: unless they pull a bait and switch on the price range they mentioned, the car will be worth every penny Hyundai charges.

Women Less Apt Than Men to Get Recommended Daily Exercise
FRIDAY, April 13 (HealthDay News) -- American women are less likely than men to get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, a new study shows.
Current recommendations call for adults to get at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity most days of the week to ward off multiple health problems, including an obesity-related condition called metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome refers to a collection of risk factors -- including high cholesterol, high blood pressure and extra belly weight -- that increase the risk for heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
The Oregon State University study of more than 1,000 women and men found that women averaged only about 18 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise daily, while men averaged 30 minutes. Participants wore an accelerometer, a device that measured how much daily activity they were getting.
People who got at least 30 minutes of exercise a day were less likely to be depressed, less likely to have high cholesterol and less likely to have metabolic syndrome, the researchers said.
The study was published online in the journal Preventive Medicine.
"It's pretty striking what happens to you if you don't meet that 30 minutes a day of activity," Bradley Cardinal, a professor of social psychology and physical activity, said in a university news release. "Women in our sample had better health behavior -- they were much less likely to smoke for instance -- but the lack of activity still puts them at risk."
He noted that depression increases the risk of abdominal fat and insulin resistance, both of which are risk factors for metabolic syndrome.
"Physical activity has been shown to reduce depression," Cardinal said. "So the key message here is to get that 30 minutes of exercise every day because it reduces a great deal of risk factors."

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I'm pretty sure any major league hitter would have done that to that pitch. Pretty much one of the worst pitches you could ever imagine.
Tom Servo (04-23-2013)
This is (pitching aside) one of the worst efforts by the Reds this year. The fact that the Cubs staff is avg to bad makes it that much worse.
I may not be fast, but I sure am slow.
the howls are really ****ing annoying now that the Reds are losing in an extra inning game - why are people still howling
And the howling continues. You have to admire their resolve, or their alcohol tolerance.
Not looking good, have run through the pen and a huge road trip around the corner
Those 'WOO!'s are really echoing in the empty stadium.

Doug Marrone was officially introduced as the head coach of the Buffalo Bills Monday afternoon. The former Orange coach is starting his second rebuilding job, hoping to bring Buffalo back to the NFL playoffs. Brian Sandler has more.
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have officially announced that Doug Marrone is the team's new head coach. The former Syracuse University Head football coach was introduced to the media in Buffalo on Monday.
Marrone's resume includes the last four seasons building the Orange football program. He has an even 25 and 25 record, including two bowl game wins.
"Being the head coach for four years at Syracuse has helped me. And for me, my one dream which obviously became a reality, was restoring that program. I think we all know, especially in western New York, Central New York, we have a lot of Bill fans in our area. So to be able to get that program back on track, and to create a foundation for that program to be successful for a long period of time was important," said Marrone.
Marrone says he is now experiencing another dream come true. He spent seven years as an assistant coach for the New Orleans Saints and the New York Jets before joining SU.
Bills players hit social networking websites to express their thoughts on the announcement.
Bills offensive lineman Eric Wood tweeted, "I love the hire of Marrone the more I read about him. Got to love a former offensive lineman that was the offensive coordinator of the league's number one offense in 2008."
Bills running back CJ Spiller tweeted, "It's going to take a lot of hard work and demand from us players on each other guess I start looking at lot of Syracuse film."
Bills cornerback Aaron Williams tweeted, "New changes, New Year, new beginning, better outcome. Only been a week and I'm already ready to be out there."
ORCHARD PARK, NY – The Buffalo Bills today announced the hiring of Doug Marrone as the 16th head coach in franchise history.
Marrone, 48, replaces former Bills head coach Chan Gailey who was relieved of his duties on December 31, 2012.
The 2013 season will mark Marrone's eighth year in the National Football League and first as a head coach in the professional ranks.
Marrone spent the previous for years as the head coach of his alma mater's football program at Syracuse University from 2009-12 and led the program to a 21-17 record in the last three seasons. He guided the Orange to an 8-5 mark in 2010 and 2012 – with both campaigns culminating in a New Era Pinstripe Bowl Championship.Syracuse's offense set several program records in 2012 for total yards (5,681), passing yards (3,619) and first downs (300).
Prior to his Syracuse tenure, Marrone spent seven years in the NFL. From 2006-08 he served as the offensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints after a four-year span as the offensive line coach of the New York Jets (2002-05).
The Saints led the NFL in total offense and passing yards per game in 2006 (391.5 total yards/game and 281.4 passing yards/game) and 2008 (410.7 total yards/game and 311.1 passing yards/game).
In 2004, the Jets' offensive line paved the way for the league's third-best rushing offense (149.3 rushing yards/game) while tallying the second-most rushing first downs (135). Running Back Curtis Martin led the NFL with 1,697 rushing yards and posted nine 100-yard games.
Before arriving in New York, Marrone coached the tight ends and tackles at the University of Tennessee in 2001. He spent the 2000 season at the University of Georgia as the program's offensive line coach after spending the previous five years at Georgia Tech. In 1995, Marrone was the director of football operations before coaching the tight ends in 1996 and offensive line from 1997-99.
In 1999, the Yellow Jackets led the nation in total offense (509.4 yards/game) and points per game (40.7). Marrone was part of a coaching staff that helped guide the school to a bowl game in three consecutive years (1997-99).
Marrone's coaching career began in 1992 at Cortland (N.Y.) State as the school's tight ends coach before stints as the offensive line coach at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (1993) and Northeastern University in 1994.
Marrone, a Bronx, N.Y. native, was drafted in the sixth-round of the 1986 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Raiders and played two years in the NFL, first with the Miami Dolphins in 1987 and then with the Saints in 1989. He also had playing stints with Pittsburgh, Dallas and Minnesota before closing his career with the NFLE London Monarchs (1991-92).
A three-year letterman at Syracuse, Marrone returned to the university and graduated in 1991. He and his wife, Helen, have two daughters, Madeline and Anne, and a son, Mack.
Former Orange standout and Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone is moving west down the thruway. The Bronx native, who played tackle for the Orange from 1983 to 1985 and was a sixth-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Raiders, was introduced today as the head coach for the NFL's Buffalo Bills. In four seasons at Syracuse, Marrone led the Orange to two New Era Pinstripe Bowl victories and four wins against top 25 opponents. Syracuse University Director of Athletics Dr. Daryl Gross:"Doug has restored Syracuse football to its rightful place and we are appreciative of the foundation he has laid on and off the field for the future success of the program. We wish him the absolute best in his opportunity in the NFL. We look forward to improving on our success, as we have great momentum heading into the ACC. We will put a head coach in place who will continue down the successful path we are on." Syracuse University Chairman of the Board of Trustees Richard L. Thompson and Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor:"We congratulate Coach Marrone on having this opportunity to become a head coach at the highest level. Under his leadership, we have restored the rich, winning football tradition at Syracuse, and we wish him continued success as he moves to the National Football League. "We are fully committed to continuing SU Football's successful trajectory and the commitment, work ethic, integrity, and support for the personal and academic development of our student-athletes that Doug and his coaching staff embedded in the program. Moving forward, we have full confidence in Dr. Daryl Gross to find the right successor to build on this success."

Signs point to colder than normal spring for Wisconsin
I take no joy in reporting this information.
In fact, I'm as disappointed as you. While you may think a meteorologist like me is supposed to be neutral Wisconsin's yearly battle between cold and warm weather, I am completely on the side of favoring warm weather.
Which is which why I am sorry to report that there are signs that April will be yet another month in which temperatures average below normal. Further, the entire spring may be that way.
The map below was recently released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It indicates its outlook for temperatures during the month of April. The area on the map shaded in blue is where the probability of temperatures averaging below normal is higher than the probability of temperatures averaging above normal. As you can see, Wisconsin has about the highest chance in the nation of April temperatures averaging below normal.
When extending the timeframe out to the three-month period of April, May and June (below), the outlook doesn't change much. Like April alone, the outlook from NOAA suggests that the probability of temperatures averaging below normal across Wisconsin is higher than the probability of temperatures averaging above normal.
Double sigh.
It's important to point out this outlook deals in probabilities. It does not suggest that temperatures are guaranteed to average below normal in April. And, even if temperatures do average below normal for the month, it doesn't mean temperatures will be below normal every day.
Also keep in mind that this is the time of the year when the daily normal temperature is going up. Our normal high temperature rises from about 50 at the beginning of April to about 60 at the end of the month.
Even "colder than average" will be "warmer than it's been."
So we've got that going for us, which is nice.Read more...

WHAT IS IT? As the name implies, a Rinaldi Supersize Extreme tire is bigger than the typical tire found on a 450 four-stroke. With extra air volume and taller sidewalls, the Rinaldi Extremes are very absorbent and provide a large contact patch.
WHAT'S IT COST? $85.95 (rear), $59.95 (front).
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with Brazilian-made Rinaldi Supersize Extreme tires.
(1) Spec accuracy. Before we discuss the specifications, it's important to note that different manufacturers have different standards for measuring height and width. So, unless you already run Rinaldis, comparing the size of the tires you currently run to these tires may be comparing apples and oranges, depending on your brand.
(2) Rear specs. The standard height of a 120 motocross tire is 80 percent of its width (signified as a 120/80-19). The Rinaldi is a taller 120/90-19. It has a large (120mm) footprint and tall (108mm) sidewalls (compared to the 96mm sidewall height of a 120/80-19). The natural suspension travel of the tire is increased by the taller sidewall. Have you ever ridden with an 18-inch rear wheel? The outer diameter of the 18-inch tire is actually the same as a 19-inch tire, but they have a taller sidewall and more volume. These features typically add up to a more absorbent ride, better hook-up in soft terrain and a cushy feel. So why don't we still use 18-inch tires on motocross bikes? Nineteen-inch tires have stiffer sidewalls, bounce less through whoops and hook up better on hardpack exits from corners. In essence, a 19-inch tire works better in a Supercross-style environment. The Rinaldi Extreme is a 19-inch tire that feels a lot like an 18 and, in our opinion, is a better offroad tire than motocross tire.
(3) Front specs. Standard motocross front tires are either 80/100-21 or 90/100-21. The 90/90-21 Rinaldi has an 81mm sidewall height, which pits it closer to the 80mm height of an 80/100 than the 90mm height of a 90/100.
(4) Performance. The RMX35 Extreme is a predictable, decent-performing intermediate tire that prefers at least a little dirt on the track. As the terrain gets hard, Rinaldi's rubber compound struggles to hook up. Luckily, "supersize" tires have larger contact patches to improve their hardpack performance. Conversely, the big sneakers sacrifice performance through ruts to gain that traction on hardpacked surfaces. Additionally, the taller rear combined with the shorter front could change the geometry of your bike (steepening the head angle). This difference is only noticed by extremely sensitive riders and is easily compensated for with fork height.
(5) Durability. In the past, the MXA test crew was mightily impressed with the durability of Rinaldi's rubber compound (although we did experience some chunking when we pushed earlier Rinaldi tires outside of their Intermediate comfort zone). The Rinaldi Supersize Extreme wore like iron, and because of the larger knobs it didn't chunk.
(6) Weight. The front weighs 8.90 pounds and the rear weighs 13.30 pounds. We have run smaller tires that were heavier, but for comparison purposes a Dunlop MX51 rear (in the same 120 size) weighs about one pound less, and the MX51 front is eight ounces lighter.
(7) Price. When your Rinaldis eventually wear out, new ones are quite affordable. These tires are a great value.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? Three quibbles: (1) Big tires rev a little slower because of their large contact patch and heavier weight. (2) The taller sidewalls squiggle under acceleration. (3) In ruts, the wide tires tend to climb the sides of the rut.
In the right applications and for riders who prefer a cushy feel, Rinaldi Supersize Extreme tires can be a very good choice. However, on a jumpy track with packed dirt and consecutive whoops, they have their limits.
