tucking after takeoff
Hey, just wondering if the more experienced big air riders had this problem when they first tried going big off a jump. I find that as soon as i leave the apex of a jump, and i'm oliing to try to get even more pop, my body would straighten out itself in mid-air. i'm trying to stay tucked so i can do a couple grabs, but i just find it so hard to bring my knees up. I think it could do with the bindings being too heavy. i do feel as though it's pulling me down, but there has to be something I can do to compensate for that. I want to go even higher but i know if my body is just going to straighten out during mid-flight that's a recipe for disaster, help please!!!

Basically you need to pop with both feet or ollie... since ollieing takes a lot of timing to do correctly. Let's start just trying to pop with both feet evenly. What want to do is to squat down so that you are really compressed just before you go up the ramp (I assume the takeoff ramp is only like 10 ft long), then as you go up the ramp you gently stand up so that by the time you take off, you are back to normal "snowboard stance." Through the magic of high school physics, which I won't bother you with, this will actually "pops" you up into the air higher and you will suddenly discover you can bring you knees up much easier as if you board and bindings are magically lighter. Again, it's not magic... it's physics... which I guess i basically magic to most people. You can see Nev Lapwood doing this in this teaser video (check at 0:15, 0:25, 0:38... all three of those are pops... with the last one he is doing what I tried to explain in the previous paragraph. BTW, if you are wondering whether snowboardaddiction DVD/videos are worth buying - I do recommend them, they are very well made and Nev gives elite level instruction. He even does online coaching where you post videos of yourself and he talks to you on skype to give you tips (next best thing to getting a private lesson yourself at the mountain). It does cost money (versus advice online here) but while there are some very helpful and amazing people on this website, I still think Nev's instruction is superior (i.e. you get what you pay for...)

ok, that's interesting..i'm not actually at the park, i'm just looking for kickers to pop off of along trails. I can do 180s and 360s but i have to really crank myself and it doesn't seem as fluid and smooth as it should probably because of what you were saying, i'm trying to force teh pop with my own might. I'm going to try what you suggested but it will hard be since i'm not doing it off a table top or soemthing, which is why I need to ollie. I guess it could also be that i'm not timing my ollies properly. But come to think of it, i have had that feeling of sailing through the air as if the bindings and board didn't weigh anything. I just haven't been able to recreate it that many times..
thanks! |

Drunk with power...er beer.
I'm probably a little behind you on learning jumps. I'm currently working with 20-25' jumps, mostly because the Seymour park crew won't make anything smaller despite numerous complaints.
Anyway, I'm not even trying to ollie on a jump -- my ollies are barely functional at best. I'm just trying to pop, and finding that even pops require just the right timing. When I get the timing wrong, the feeling is like releasing a bow with no arrow on the string -- all the energy goes into rattling the bow. When I do get the timing right on the pop, not only is the air better but the jump is more controlled. As lonerider has mentioned, your bindings don't weigh anything in midair -- everything is in freefall. What I think you're experiencing is reflex. If your inner ear feels like you're rotating or otherwise not stable in the air, your body is not going to want to tuck and thereby increase the rotation (more physics magic ). That's like not being able to keep your eyes open during a sneeze -- your brain can make suggestions but the final decisions all happen in the brain stem, and yours is saying "fuck that, I want to live".

Now I've got something to work on. I had been close to giving up on jumping due to all my ragdoll to scorpion fails. I have no problem with turns or control, it's just the unweighting process that gets me. I feel the exact same way, I tense up and my legs straighten.

I also had the problem of "Over Muscling" the pop. It doesn't need to be a big huge pop. As that can actually throw off your trajectory.
Again start with a small pop and pull your knees to your chest with your core muscles. This pulling will also help you to stay compact, then progress to the grabs. recca7: you should be able to put all that info to use on small side hits with no issues. Nev starts you out on small side hits then progresses to bigger jumps. I did my 1st 180 the other day of a 1 foot side hit ahahhaa but I did it

This is another item of the sport that come directly from skateboarding. Here is a good example: take a normal size 6" sidewalk, and as your rolling along, do your best ollie, say u can do 2 cinderblocks. Now take that sidewalk and give it a smooth driveway cut in the middle of it so that it looks like a very shallow (only 6"!!) halfpipe. Using the same physics described by the first responder and also what the guy in the SA vid is doing, you can now set up a 3 1/2 foot warning sign at the top of one or both transitions and boost ollies like you never knew you could.
Maybe moot point, maybe ur not a skater, but the sensation and results when you do it right are the exact same. Timing is everything.

Phoronix: Rewriting The Radeon 3D Support In Mesa
David Airlie as part of his work at Red Hat has been rewriting a fair chunk of the Radeon 3D driver support in Mesa. In the radeon-rewrite branch of Mesa, David has been adding support for bufmgr to all three of the Radeon 3D drivers (going back to the ATI R100/200 series) while working with our without a kernel memory manager...
This is simply sooo great! Thanks for this, everyone involved.
The only thing that still gets on my nerves is Radeon vs. RadeonHD. I didn't have some bugs with RadeonHD that I had with Radeon several times, but that is fixed now I think. I couldn't care less what driver I am running now... maybe the DDX driver has so much code outsourced that it isn't needed anymore at all in the future.

PENDING a review of its proposal, Hemphill Construction Company will likely be chosen to do the Fortification Street Improvement Project.
The city of Jackson opened bids at a public meeting last week, with Hemphill submitting the lowest price. Hemphill's bid was for just under $9 million. Next was Utah Construction Company, with a bid for $11.35 million, and Southern Rock, with a bid for $11.9 million.
All three proposals came in under the city's $12 million estimate to complete the project.

8 week mindfulness based stress reduction
Behavioral: Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
8 week program
Detailed Description:
As HIV treatments continue to advance, people living with HIV will inevitably be confronted with negative physical and emotional side effects. Side effects from antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV impact quality of life (QOL) and adherence to care, and they influence decisions about health care. With mortality rates from HIV dramatically reduced in the US, side effects emerge as one of the most critical factors in the HIV epidemic. Eliminating or reducing the negative impact of side effects may improve QOL, reduce missed days from work, and maximize benefit from treatment for people living with HIV. We propose a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to provide preliminary evidence of the efficacy of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) intervention to remediate side effects and side effect-related distress. Decreases in medical and psychological symptoms have been observed following MBSR in a wide range of illness contexts, but the approach has not been applied to HIV treatment side effects. Our team brings together expertise in HIV treatment side effects research, MBSR research with HIV+ populations, and HIV clinical medicine. The proposed study maximizes resources from our funded research programs within one of the leading AIDS research institutions in the world. Relevant research entities supporting this proposal include the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS), the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine (OCIM), the UCSF Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) and the UCSF AIDS Research Institute (ARI). We propose a randomized clinical trial of an 8-week program of MBSR with 100 HIV+ men and women on ART, as compared with a wait list control (n=50/group). Primary outcome will be side effect distress and frequency, and secondary outcomes will be QOL and medication adherence. The findings from this study, in conjunction with our ongoing research studies, will provide foundation and guidance, including effect size data, for larger studies of MBSR for HIV disease.

Ecco Seawalker Black Leather Men's Shoe
Features include:
Sea Walkers are the best fit or me. They also last a long time. I wear mine every day or everything.
Once I wore the next size up the shoe was very comfortable.
very comfortable to walk around in.
all of the above
[...], however these shoes did live up to my expectations. Footwear, Etc. did offer the best price and had the shoes in stock for immediate shipment. Overall, I find the shoes very comfortable and I am happy with my purchase.
I was looking for a black casual shoe with excellent cusioning and quality and this definetely fit the bill. Its definetely a quality shoe, but I think the [$] price tag is a little steep for a walking/casual shoe. It better last for a long time!
Very nice looking & durable shoe for everyday casual work environment. I give it four stars instead of five only because for my foot the Ecco Cross is simply perfect, and this shoe is a bit stiffer both in the sole & upper. These seem more durable, though, and they have a very similar fit in the footbed--which for me is better than anything else I've tried. These two models of Ecco shoe top anything else I've tried.
I wore this shoe every day for 7 years before they wore out. Worn in rain, snow, and salty slush. Comfortable from first day until last.

Lila loved to be cuddled, and was very sensitive to being ignored so the nannies tended to spoil her with lots of attention. She was walking while holding on to someone's hand, loved music and toys and had a favorite nanny. Would your family like to read more about her and request an update?

ORANGEBURG, N.Y. - - The Wilmington University softball team bounced back from a game one loss to split a doubleheader with Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference leading Dominican, 0-10 and 4-3m snapping a 17-game CACC winning streak for the Chargers, on Tuesday afternoon at the DC Softball Field.
The loss was snapped a four-game losing streak for the Wildcats (18-19, 10-4 CACC) and ended the longest CACC winning streak this season, giving the host Chargers (23-13, 17-1 CACC) their first loss of the conference season. The game two win was Wilmington's first win over Dominican since a 5-4 win at home on March 21, 2009.
With game two scoreless through the first four innings, Wilmington erupted for four runs in the top of the fifth inning. Shelby Thompson led off the inning with a single to set the table for the big bats of the lineup. Standing on second with one out, Shelby was able to trot home run as Christin Headley launched a two-run home run for the games' first two runs.
Still in the fifth, Jill Stafford worked a one-out walk to restart the inning and Rachel Painter stepped in and launched another two-run home run in the inning, making it 4-0 after four and a half innings.
Game two starter Katie Warrington, named the CACC Pitcher of the Week for the third consecutive week today, was unable to keep the Chargers down the entire game, as Kathryn Coles smacked a two-run home run of her own to make it 4-2 after five innings.
Warrington, who did not allow a base runner until Dominican hit a two-out single in the fourth, went into the seventh inning looking for her 10th win and 11th complete game of the season. Although she gave up a one-out solo shot to cut the lead 4-3, Warrington held control of the inning, getting the next two batters out in order to pick up the win. She struck out Ashley Martinez to end the game, marking her 11th strikeout of the contest.
Warrington improved to 10-7, winning for the sixth time in her previous seven starts. The 11 strikeouts tied a season high and marks the fifth time in the last six games that she collected at least 10 strikeouts.
Thompson and Headley each batted 2-for-4, as Thompson scored a run and Headley knocked in two and scored one with her home run. Brooke Berger, Painter and Jess Hassman earned the remaining three hits for the Wildcats in game two.
Game one was the Delaney Childers show for Dominican, as she threw a five-inning complete game shutout, picking up seven strikeouts along the way. The Wildcats only managed two hits off Childers.
Dominican scored four quick runs in the first to take control of game one, added four runs in the third and finished off the game with two run in the fourth for the mercy-ruled ending following the fifth inning.
Headley and Painter collected singles for the Wildcats in the first game, as Headley finished the doubleheader 3-for-6 with a home run, two RBIs and a run scored. Painter finished 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI's and a run scored on the afternoon.
Wilmington will not receive any rest as they return to the diamond on Wednesday to play another important CACC doubleheader. The Wildcats will come back to Asbury Field to face University of the Sciences (12-14, 10-8 CACC) starting at 3 p.m.

Filmed before an live theater audience in St. Louis, the one hour concert features her singing 15 songs, as well as archival footage from 1967 when she was introduced to a national audience by Leonard Bernstein in his CBS television special Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution, singing her then controversial song "Society's Child." Additional footage from 1975's Soundstage juxtaposes Ian performing her iconic lament of teen insecurity, "At Seventeen" with her present day.

"Small card with soft colors—perfect. Text easy to customize and to place. Wanted an 'I Wish for You...' Card for baby shower, and this fit the bill perfectly."
"I am planning to use these as shower/baby gift thank you cards before our daughter is born. I love that I could change the text on the outside and even have personalized text on the inside. The colors are beautiful and exactly what is shown on-line. The quality of the card is also very good. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend."
"I was looking for a twins-themed thank you card to use for my baby shower gifts. This design was great b/c it is gender neutral (mine are boy/girl) and also appropriate for my couples shower (i.e., not too girly). I customized the text to say "Thank You" instead of having my name. It just seemed to make more sense. I also changed the font since the default suggestion seemed a little bit passe. The finished product is clean, simple, and cute! One nit-picky suggestion was that I would have liked the option to extend the yellow border or design to the back of the card. I did not have the perfect photo(s) to use in that space, but hated to leave it entirely blank."
"These cards come in a beautiful sage green color with pink accents. Our shower had a bird theme so I used these as thank you notes. The paper was of heavy quality with a smooth finish-- high quality and a great choice."
"Love this for my little one on the way. I will certainly be getting the matching announcements once she makes her arrival! The pink and gray are the colors I have chosen for her nursery too so it worked great!"

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Even though I am a roadie, I kept the visor on -although, removing and installing the visor was really easy. This helmet for the most part is incredibly lightweight (but to be fair, my last helmet was a skate specific helmet, so anything that is built specifically for biking is a huge improvement). As stated in a previous review, there was minimal for inside adjustments, but other adjustments at the straps are simple and seem relatively strong.

This is a good helmet
After smashing my Specialized Echelon when my wheels slipped out from under me on a fast turn, I got the Bell Sweep on sale as a replacement. To reiterate the good things about this helmet: it's easily adjustable and it looks sweet. It has a nice, streamlined and fast look to it. Being a roadie, of course, I ditched the visor. Roadies wear shades. :D
The helmet isn't perfect. There's minimal padding inside--basically what's along the front forehead is about it. Fortunately I had some stick-on padding from my previous helmet that I could position to make the fit more comfortable. The front pad also becomes saturated with sweat pretty quickly and drops down my sunglasses or down my nose. Which means that sometimes I have to stop every once in a while to squeegee the pads. A headband or other sweat-absorbing headgear would be a good idea on longer rides or in warmer climes.
Eric Plath
My wife loves it!
My wife has a suitable helmet that will protect her on all the team rides that she does on a weekly basis. A helmet is key to get the protection you need in case something unfortunate occurs. This helmet will do just that for you!

good fit.
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
had looked for a few months, tried a few, and this was the best-fitting for my head, which is wide in back and on top. easy adjustability, and it's light, relatively. i do get sweat in my eyes and sometimes my glasses fog up, which they never did with other helmets. doesn't mean it's the helmet's fault, though.
i'm keeping it.

Is this really a road helmet? I don't see where the visor comes off, and what the front looks like underneath....
Wow. Saved my melon today...
I've been using this helment for a year road and mtn biking. This evening: Single track...switchback...little too much speed...off side of trail...front tire drops between logs running parallell to my direction of travel over a small ditch...take a header, first thing to hit logs...my Bell helmet...square on top of my head. Slow motion thought was that I was screwed and will be seriously hurt. On impact I felt the pads/hard foam lining compress around my head. Amazingly, I had barely a headache, small dent in the helmet outer shell, tiny scratch on my knee, (maybe a sore neck tomorrow morning)...thank you Bell!!! This baby was worth every penny today...
Great value for a top-flight helmet
I've worn Bell helmets for years, but when it was time to replace my old one, I looked at several brands. I ended up ordering 2 different Giro models, but could never get the right fit without spending an arm and a leg. So I ordered the Sweep and have been very happy with it. At least as good of a helmet as the Giros at a lower price.

Are replacement pads available when the internal padding deteriorates over time? I have owned excellent helmets from both Bell and Giro......they still look good, but the padding inside has all but disappeared.
Damon Salter
Bell North America has pretty good customer service, you can call them and request replacement pads if something were to happen during the warranty period.
You can also by replacement pads through a local Bell dealer or online, search Bell Replacement Pads.
Jamie Preston
Bell Fit
The Bell Sweep is for you if you have a "Bell Head". I tried Giros, but they never quite felt right. I ran into an engineer for Bell one day and he said the fits are different for the 2 brands (Bell and Giro are apparently owned by the same company). That having been said, I love the Sweep - it is light, comfortable and easily adjusts. The visor is generally off for me since I ride on the road, but the idea of a dual purpose helmet makes great sense. I have not had drying issues, but I ride it in Utah with no humidity, so that probably helps.
Justin Henderson
Great helmet! Looks great too. The visor is big enough to keep sun out of your eyes, and small enough to still be pretty aerodynamic
Mike Morse
Best helmet you could buy
Pros: Light, well vented, detachable visor so it can double as a road helmet, looks pretty awesome.
Cons: Im nit picking here, but the pads on the inside take forever to dry, Ive put on my helmet still wet from the day before plenty of times.
I love this helmet, Ive had one for a few seasons and I have no complaints. I think it is just as nice as the much more expensive Giros and would recommend it

I measure 59cm and am not sure whether to get a medium or large Bell Sweep. No local shops have them in stock, so I cannot try on.
Any tips on sizing?
Cory Guru
I'm in the same boat, falling right between the M & L (59cm) and wear a Medium comfortably.
Edward Skipka
An important thing to consider is a place that has a satisfaction guarantee. If it doesn't fit you can always return it then.
That being said I am the same way. I measure right at 59 and have found that both the Large AND the Medium fit me fine. Keep in mind that just because your head measures right at 59 doesn't mean you want your helmet to be exactly that. It should fit like a belt, not too tight but not loose.
I went with a large helmet because it still fits snuggly and I have some extra room for the winter when I want to wear a cap or balaclava under it. The choice is yours, good luck!
Brian Brennfoerder
Good replacement for my Pneumo.
Just got the helmet, and after 1 ride I can tell I'll like it better than the Giro Pneumo it's replacing. I don't know if it actually is lighter than the Pneumo, but it feels lighter. Fits more snugly, without the two Pneumo Dents in my forehead after every ride (better padding. Looks are great too, but I wish I'd gotten a flashier color this time... the matte mag/ti is pretty subdued. Not the helmet's fault though. This is my first high dollar Bell, and I can see why people buy them. Specialized and Giro have been ok, but this one fits me better.
Super good Bell VIDEO info:
Check it!

This helmet is fantastic. It fits well, and vents great. A little heavier than some of the new ultralighters out there, but comfort is great. I really love the padding system. It soaks up sweat like noones business, and seems to channel it to the sides of your face, an important feature during our 110+ degree days here.

How to take screenshots on the Samsung DROID Charge
We show you how to take screenshots on your Samsung DROID Charge
Naturally you have seen the awesome Samsung DROID Charge screenshots we have taken for our user guides and you are wondering, "How did they do that?"
The Samsung DROID Charge runs on Android and as of now, no applications are available that allow for on-device screenshots. This guide will provide you with the software you need and show you how to get stunning screen captures from your device.
Two separate pieces of software are required and must be installed on your PC:
Once your downloads are complete a few steps are required to get things ready.
On your computer:
- Extract the Google Android SDK to a folder on your desktop
- Install the the Java SE SDK
On the Samsung DROID Charge:
- Press the Home icon, press Menu and then tap Settings
- Tap on Applications
- Tap on Development
- Check the box for USB debugging
Now you are ready to get started.
- Plug your Samsung DROID Charge into your computer via USB and Windows will attempt to install all of the appropriate drivers; one of the drivers will not be found and thus you must proceed to Device Manager in your Control Panel and find the Samsung DROID Charge (there will be a yellow icon next to it)
- Right-click on the Samsung DROID Charge entry and select properties; instruct Windows to update/install the driver for this device and when asked, simply browse to the usb_driver folder inside of the Android software development kit folder that you extracted to your desktop earlier -- the device is recognized and the driver is installed
- Browse to the Android SDK folder that you extracted to your desktop and run the SDK Setup.exe to start the program
- Once the application has launched you will be presented with a window as shown in figure 2 above
- Click on the Refresh button so that the application can update its list of operating system SDKs available from Google
- Check off the section next to the URL that is shown in the application; you are now presented with a list of Android SDKs and Google APIs you wish to install
- It is recommended that you select select all available packages for maximum compatibility
- Once the files have been downloaded simply close the application
- Browse to the Tools folder inside the Android SDK folder you extracted to your desktop
- Double click on DDMS.BAT to execute the Dalvik Debug Monitor
- The application will launch with a DOS command window and eventually a Windows based application -- your phone will be listed on the left hand side, and you should click on it to make sure it is selected
- Click on the Device menu and select Screen Capture or use the CTRL-S key combo
- The capture now appears on your screen, but there is one final undocumented step
- We recommend that you click on the Copy button and paste the screenshot into your image editor of choice (Microsoft Paint, Adobe Photoshop, etc) -- the reason for this is that there is a known bug that does not carry over the colors of the actual screenshot inside the capture utility
Voila! You now have a stunning screenshot from the display on your Samsung DROID Charge. Repeat steps 12-14 to generate more screenshots.

How to fit and repair taps
New basin taps are a great way to upgrade your bathroom. Look out for versions with an eco click mechanism, as they'll help you and your family control how much water you use. If one of your taps is dripping, try to fix it promptly - otherwise it'll stain your bath or sink and cause erosion inside the mechanism of the tap.
Practical planning - Bathrooms
Whilst planning your bathroom it can be easy to forget those little practical details. Think about the kind of look you want to achieve but also the space you are buying it for; a family bathroom will have different needs to a downstairs cloakroom.

AdrianaLI, NYNo More Bumps!I do my own waxing at home and have always had a few to several in-grown hairs. I started using the Shobha Exfoliating cloth for a few months and the in-grown hairs have significantly diminished to just about 2 or 3 now. I also, no longer have redness or those nasty bumps after waxing. I followed the directions, make sure you don't use it about 48hrs after waxing. I use it once a day for exfoliating my body as it if were a scrub, I don't use soap when I use the Shobha. It even leaves your skin feeling super soft. A must if you wax!posted Dec 24, 2013Link to this post
KarpagamA Very Good ToolI have this serious in-grown hair problem on my legs. Using this cloth twice a week for about 2 months has definitely helped reducing the in-grown hair problem but has not eradicated it completely. But, I love how this leaves my skin super smooth by effectively removing dead skin cells.posted Jun 7, 2013Link to this post
Jennifer S.VaWorks Great, But Do Not CutThe cloth just came in last night, I couldn't wait to use it, however, I thought it was pretty big and wanted to use it on other areas so i cut it in half...not a good idea, it kinda falls apart if you do this, but still works, next time, I'll just buy 2 and call it a day. Anyway, it works great as an exfolliant and at freeing ingrown hairs and left my skin super smooth. I WILL be buying another one and WON'T be cutting it in half next time.posted Sep 22, 2011Link to this post
AshleyNy, NyLove This!a great exfoliater and a necessity to help me avoid the horrible ingrowns i have a tendency for. this cloth definitely works better than others i have come across.posted Nov 8, 2010Link to this post

DETROIT – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) today announced third quarter net income to common stockholders of $0.7 billion or $0.45 per fully diluted share, down from $1.5 billion or $0.89 per fully diluted share a year ago. Improvement in operating performance during the quarter was more than offset by a net loss from special items and incremental tax expense.
Net income to common includes a net loss from special items of $0.9 billion or $0.51 per fully diluted share, including $0.8 billion related to the repurchase of 120 million shares of Preferred Series A Stock. Results were also impacted by incremental tax expense of $0.5 billion or $0.29 per fully diluted share in the quarter compared to the third quarter of 2012.
Net revenue during the quarter was $39.0 billion compared to $37.6 billion in the third quarter of 2012. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) adjusted was $2.6 billion compared to $2.3 billion in the third quarter of 2012.
"We made gains in the third quarter as we improved our North American margins and increased our global share on the strength of our Chevrolet brand," said Dan Akerson, GM chairman and CEO. "Our efforts to build great cars and trucks and deliver solid financial results were recognized this quarter by Moody's investment grade rating."

For the quarter automotive cash flow from operating activities was $3.3 billion and adjusted automotive free cash flow was $1.3 billion. GM ended the quarter with very strong total automotive liquidity of $37.3 billion. Automotive cash and marketable securities was $26.8 billion compared with $24.2 billion for the second quarter of 2013.
"During the quarter strong demand for new vehicles like the Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Onix and the all-new Chevrolet Silverado helped boost our top-line," said Dan Ammann, GM executive vice president and CFO. "We also further strengthened our fortress balance sheet and reduced our cost of capital through our $4.5 billion refinancing of high cost obligations."

25.08.2013 /
Red Bull KTM Ajo rider Luis Salom extended his lead in the Moto3 Grand Prix championship points on Sunday when he took yet another spectacular victory on the Autodromo Circuit in Brno, Czech Republic.
Luis Salom was riding his KTM RC250 GP bike with a cracked heel after a crash in the last GP in Indianapolis. The Spanish rider set himself up perfectly and made his move in the final stages after shadow boxing with five riders, all on KTM-driven bikes from the first to the final lap. Maverick Viñales was second, one second behind Salom and Jonas Folger of Germany on the KALEX-KTM took the minor podium place. This left Estrella Galicia teammates Alex Rins and Alex Marquez out in the cold for the top places after they had both been in contention going into the final laps.
The group dominated the race from the start to the drop of the checkered flag. Salom is well known for last lap attacks but the leaders were so closely grouped and the lead changed so often that nothing was certain until he crossed the line.
Salom, in his second year of Moto3 has now won five of the ten rounds so far this season and has a 14-point lead over rival Maverick Viñales. Alex Rins is in third with 180 points so there is still a lot of racing before the title is decided.
There are seven rounds left in the season and riders meet again next weekend at the British Silverstone circuit to continue their fight for the title.

Overview: How can organizations accelerate business analytics projects while also establishing an operational, trusted platform of information? The answer lies with a powerful combination of data integration solutions and enhanced test data management.
