While no one would argue that the weather in California is ideal, summer heat can make doing anything besides sitting in air conditioning a little daunting . While movies are one good way to get out of the heat, there are only so many; and the bar scene can get old and expensive. That’s why I like to switch it up a little – occasionally hit golf balls or head to the indoor go karts in Thousand Oaks or Sylmar.

As a top place to go kart Los Angeles wouldn’t generally be on peoples’ hit listings because of the bright sun and heat of the asphalt and cars from inside a helmet: more like cooking than racing. But being inside not only takes away the boiling of the sun, it also ensures visibility and optimal track conditions, since the tracks aren’t subjected to the elements. The indoor tracks are also more nuanced than the conventional outdoor donuts tracks, making racing more exciting – and that there are two locations to choose from add even more variety to the equation.

Some of my friends were quick to dismiss going to the indoor go karts as a actual bends , my friends were surprised that they had to “really drive” as opposed to just putting the petal to the metal as is the usual triumphant procedure for less interesting outdoor tracks. When the competitive spirit was awakened and the petal did finally hit the metal, it was non-stop laughs. Since then, it has been hard to convince anyone that going to a movie is really worthwhile when the go kart Los Angeles track is so close by.

Because it is so affordable and because it’s way more fun than you either remember or imagine, I highly recommend. First timers will also be surprised by how intuitive, comfortable, and non-threatening read kart racing really is and may run the risk of becoming hooked after just one lap around the track – I know that’s all it took for me to realize that this was a excellent substitute to a lazy night at the movies or a crazy night out drinking.

Any coach or former athlete  understands the importance of strategy in winning. Good strategy in any sport can definitely compensate for conditioning that leaves something to be desired and a lack of natural talent. The cornerstone of any great strategy has to be knowing your own strengths and knowing your opponents strengths and weaknesses – in other words, knowing your opponent better than your own team. This may seem impossible, but it’s actually aided tremendously by the introduction of online video archives of high school games. Here in Colorado, football videos and their availability has made the game almost as much of a research project as it is a battle for which troops need to be trained. The advent of archives of high school sports online has made coaching in Colorado much more competitive than it is in some other states, where the technology has yet to change the way the game is played and coached. Being able to observe opponents throughout the season gives a coach tremendous insight into the opposing team’s weaknesses while also allowing him to build his own team’s strengths in order to exploit those weaknesses during future games. In some sense, Colorado football videos have turned sports into a real war. Yet how much each coach chooses to play “general” in the game of strategy varies depending on the individual. Some of the best teams don’t even use videos because their athletic talent and the dedication of their players is sufficient advantage over most opponents. Still, other players and coaches alike swear by learning from video because it gives them even basic insights that they wouldn’t have without it that prevent opponents from creating early leads. For instance, watching just one game played by an opposing team can offers a glimpse at the lineup’s best players. Does the running back need to be double-teamed? Is the quarterback susceptible to being sacked? The advent of internet-based archives puts this information just a click away from any player or coach. Players can now study their match-ups for weeks before they ever meet. This capability for research has definitely changed games from ad hoc skirmishes to meticulously-planned battles with all sorts of contingency plans. Whether this change is for the better or for the worse, however, remains to be seen.
