WGST's "The Sully Show" for 4/22/16 - Holly Robinson-Peete and Springfree
Rick had the opportunity on Thursday to talk to actress, Holly Robinson Peete about autism and a Safe Trampoline.
Peete has a son with Autism and a award-winning children’s book “My Brother Charlie” – a heartwarming story about a boy with autism, based on Holly's son, RJ Peete
Springfree Trampoline is partnering with actress and national autism spokesperson, Holly Robinson Peete and the HollyRod Foundation.
Have a listen to Rick and Sully rght below:
One in every 68 children in America is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to the CDC. Select organizations in the U.S. working with children with autism, including local Lekotek of Georgia, and Emory University Autism Center use Springfree trampolines as therapeutic tools.
*** Springfree trampolines....
Why is Springfree the world’s safest trampoline?
The springless patented design has not only changed the way trampolines work but eliminated the impact areas that cause 90% of all product-related trampolines injuries.
Rick and Sully also take a look at some new Sports and Outdoors items for the Spring
1. Thermacell Mosquito laterns
- Keep those biting insects away
I recommend Thermacell and their all encompassing line of mosquito repelling lanterns, torches and repellers. Thermacell does something no one else does and that is use their technology to put a repellant that is a copy of the insecticide produced by chrysanthemums in their products. It proves to be 98% effective and welcome relief to those looking to spend an afternoon or evening outdoors with family, friends or a good book.
"Thermacell products are 96% effective, approved by the EPA and tested by the US government for effectiveness," says a representative of Thermacell.
It's also odorless and runs on a single butane cartridge, that heats a repellent mat and releases allethrin, which is a synthetic copy of the natural repellent found in those chrysanthemum flowers that were mentioned above. Thermacell says a latern will cover a 225-square feet area at up to four hours per mat or 12 hours for a refill kit. A Thermacell latern is not only more effective, but it is safer than using citronella candles.
2. Wilson Ultra 100 tennis racquet
$199.99
Easy power with the Ultra 100, as Wilson serves up an impressive combination of speed, power and spin. Like the best modern player's racquets, this stick blends an explosive feel with precise targeting, making it dangerous in the hands of those who like to dominate the court with pace and spin. Thanks to its firm Carbon Fiber layup and stiff dual tapered beam, the Ultra 100 has a crisp and lively response. The result is a racquet that has a very even feel across the entire stringbed, with less power loss on balls struck in the upper hoop (where many advanced players make contact). To boost comfort, Wilson gives this model a Cushion Foam Handle along with Parallel Drilling technology (which enables the strings to soak up extra vibration). From the baseline this racquet's maneuverable weight and 'whippy' head light balance are perfect for generating pace and spin. Our playtesters found it easy to flick sharp angles or hit running forehand winners. This stick's fast feel and lively response is definitely an asset on service returns where it comes around very fast to deliver penetrating depth. Finally, aggressive servers looking to work the entire box with pace and spin should have a blast with this one.
3. Tecnifibre strings, including the new Pro Red Code Wax
* Tennis players should always get their racquets restrung before the start of a new tennis season
Pro Red Code Wax.
An evolution of our Pro Red Code (1st coated polyester in the market. Played by John Isner).
The Pro Red Code Wax is softer and provides more spin (It includes Wax at the beginning of the process of fabrication. So it slides better = better snapback = more spin).
It’s an interesting string, especially as we try to exist on the market as the “softest brand of polyester”
