The Belgian slopestyle rider Thomas Genon has been a bit aloof over the last year. But all rumours point to a legend rising in the new sovereign territory of Bike Kingdom. A place where Tommy G has defied the laws of physics by breaking the sound barrier, riding on water, and detonating berms with the sickest style.
Native Eskimos have competed in the World Eskimo Indian Olympics (WEIO) since 1961, which are a gathering of Eskimo people from all around the circumpolar region.
