Publisher’s Note!!asha spacek!@ashaspacek!!!!…Welcome!!there’s an entire culture and history that stretches across small islands, spans

continents- plains and rivers, and through urban versus the purest of streets. They all embrace the world of sports: from the finest to the grittiest- much of it, can be appreciated and celebrated. Some of it you watch weekly, much of it, you have forgotten- and elements of it- you may say, or think, ‘I have never heard of that,’ or how is that humanly possible- why does

that even exist? …Create the STC Worldwide dialogue. We won't be afraid to

push your envelopes, senses, and thought. In some countries, it will be loved. In others perhaps censored- but as a whole, we will keep things tasteful and exemplary [hopefully] worthy of an archive- or at minimum, a ‘share,' “follow,” or LOL! I am taking and inviting, my emerging expertise in arts and entertainment (especially fashion and music) and transferring, yet, still learning what STC Worldwide fans want to see in their sports future; sans, more of the same. !!Part of the STC vision is to take the avid ‘lifestyle’ sports enthusiast and offer a portal just as impactful as the die hard sports fan. The overall vision is that you feel an emotion all your own: from seeing hard work of the players, to the

integrity and soul of our industry writers. Our mission… combines sports

from around the world to educate- yet excite- existing and new fans with something they might have never experienced before, while not forgetting our everyday roots of the sportstownchicago.com midwest based American radio station. We’re taking the same traditional elements and giving them a modern,

sociable makeover. STC Worldwide wants to become your ‘go-to’ pass to !1 !

The Future of MotoGP Media:

It is very likely if I mentioned the word, "MotoGP" to your average person here in the United States, it would be returned at me with a blank stare. For those of you who don't know what MotoGP is, it is

the most elite championship of motorcycle racing on the planet. The motorcycles racing in this series are over a million dollars of two-wheeled prototype machinery, pushed to the edge of physics through road course turns and blaze down the straights of racing circuits all over the world at over 200mph! It is the Formula1 of two wheels, so to speak. "!Many people think that I'm speaking of motocross when I mention

motorcycles in a sport sense. Not common here in the US, like it is in so many other developed countries, I'm here to introduce you to the beautiful world of motorcycle road racing and sportbikes. One of the most popular sports in so many places across the globe, it is a sport that I cannot let kept secret any longer! Whether it's World Superbike, MotoGP, our own national road racing championship (AMA), or production bikes that you can take out in solace, on a nice weekend ride on back roads- I’m here to tell you about the passion, speed, and sport involved with these two-wheeled beauties. "

Look for Kristi Emmons to frequently contribute [to STC Worldwide] her knowledge, love, and on/off camera experience for the MotoGP sport she has traveled the world and the states to appreciate. Not only is she a bike riding [yes, that’s her in that back photo], fun-loving, beauty- but Ms. Emmons acts as a frequent brand ambassador, ‘umbrella’ girl, and a budding media professional recognized by the sport and its sponsors.

Flowboarding in the North of

Sweden with one of the kingsBy: Alex Alexander - Ur few media Correspondent

By Alex Alexander: UR FEW MEDIA Corespondent

If I would tell you that one of the hottest things to do in Sweden right now is to ride on an artificial wave machine that spews out around 16,000 gallons (60,000 Liters) of water at you and it will set you back a couple of 100,000 bucks to buy you’d probably think I've gone completely ‘insane in the membrane.’ Let me tell you, the first time I tried Flowboarding I was completely stuck.

After about one (1) hour of falling on everything except my ass I finally got the chance to stand on my feet, and experience the actual waves. Yes - I had to sign a paper where I stated that I'm doing this at my own risks (haha), then you know you're in for a ride!

In 2009, the first flowrider was built in the Sweden Sälen - of the Experium building (which is a all around entertainment and party place). It might sound like a crazy place to build and promote such an machine, but the connection of extreme sports like: Snowboarding and Skiing in the slopes, surfing on the Flowrider turned out to be a superb combination.

I had the chance to have a chat with Andreas ''Adde'' Losbjer, the 1st Nordic Flowboarding Championship 2010 and two time Regional Master in Boarder Cross 2008 and 2009 A real cool guy and a monster on all kinds of extreme sports.To learn about the sport from, and its growing popularity in Sweden.

AA: Wassup dude tell us a little more about yourself and what

Flowboarding is?

AL: Hey dude!

My name is Andreas Losbjer and I’m 26yrs old. I grew up in the

north part of Sweden nearby a couple of ski-resorts. From the age

of 7 I’ve been a “boardjunkie” started of with skateboard and later

on snowboard and every other boardsport I could get my hands

on. At the same time I was active as a drummer in a band +

school of course.

Flowboard is like wakeskate without the fins, in a downslope

course, without the boat and wakeline.

Tons of fun and works for almost everybody!

AA: How did you get into Flowboarding?

AL: I came across flowboard 2009 when I began working as

an instructor at my local ski resort at the multihouse Experium.

Work there for 4 years and did compete in

Nordicflowchampionships 2010 (1st place) and the European

championships 2011. (5th place)

AA: I know your working fulltime as an instructor in

Norway Trysil right now is Flowboarding as popular by the

guest in Norway ?

AL: It sure is but the advertisement and product has been

terrible, so now I am here to provide with skilled instructors

and to spread the word that we exist and we are so extremely

good in what we do and what we can provide to the guests.

I’ve been working here for 3 months and already we have

regulars on the flowrider and almost fully booked for 2 months

ahead.

AA: Where can you do flowboarding

elsewhere in Sweden ?

AL: There is no other Flowrider in

Sweden but in Sundsvall the have a

Surfstream wave and there you use real

surfboards on a surface of concrete and

water. When you ride there you have to

wear a helmet because of the rockhard

surface. Never tried it but I’ve heard that

the flowrider is tons more fun.

AA: Your a natural on every board

sport it seems. Did you ever actually

surf before the Flowrider came to

Sweden?

AL: Thanks! I actually find it very natural

with a board under my feet. I’ve never

tried Surfing before the flowrider but I

think that was a good thing. Beacause

the technic is very different between

those two. Surf and snowboard is quite

alike. Flowboard and wakeskate is quite

alike.

AA: Tell me how you came to attend

the Nordic Flowboarding

Championship?

AL: I met the guy who builds the

flowriders (Phil Hogsten) and he told me

about the competition and that I should

enter. And as it seems it was a good

choose. Got first place and won

5000NOK.

AA: What did winning the competition

do for you in terms of career

opportunities?

AL: I have it on my resume when I search

for new jobs and it was a boost for my

selfestem. I get respect from other

extremesport people who also made a

career in there field.

AA: Did you ever think of entering the

World Flowboarding Championship ?

AL: Yes, it crossed my mind. But then I

realized why I stopped competing in

snowboard and that was because when

you only practice and compete you easily

forget how to have fun so that’s why I

only have it as my hobby now.

AA: Where did Flowboarding originally

start ?

AL: It started in Schlitterbahn, in Texas in

1991 where Tom Lochtefeld built the first

flowrider. (Tom Lochtefeld is the CO

founder of Waveloch who builds the

flowriders).

AA: Do you have any sponsors that

support your sport ?

AL: I still have contact with my sponsors

and they give me clothes so that’s a big

help for my economy.

AA: What are your future goals ?

AL: My future goal is to travel to a good

surfplace and be there for several

months and practice lots of surfing and

be as good as I can be.

AA: Will you ever be in the US

flowboarding ?

AL: I would love to go to the US. Havent

been there yet. Hopefully I will go there

and rip it soon, but havenʼt just decided

when and where.

Andreas ''Adde'' Losbjer

Sexy Sidelines !Preview Highlight: Amelia Bren, Dallas CowBoys !Each month there will be an editor’s pick (STC Fan nominated or selected) feature highlight of a sexy and smart cheerleader in professional sports. Often overlooked, or mistaken beyond their uniform- our female editor- will compliment, not only a woman’s crucial part in fan and player motivation, but celebrate their spirit ‘away’ from whichever field, court, or playhouse they may reside. We only hope they will receive our well wishes without any offense or misunderstanding. This is intended to be a rewarding ‘thank you,’ and sentiment to their character, drive, and hard work for others to not only appreciate, but too, are inspired to be more positive, and adhere to their nurturing support for others. In overtime: if we can help drive a little extra traffic to these ladies’ social pages- why, that shant hurt, now shall it?! !!

photo: screen shot taken from Amelia Bren’s Official twitter page supporting Susan G Komen, @DCC_Amelia Amelia’s official profile/gallery at: dallascowboyscheerleaders.com

STC Sexy Sideliner: Amelia Bren Team location: Dallas, Texas USA

Team/Sport: Dallas Cowboys, American Football (NFL)!

Team Cheerleaders, ‘aka’ name: “America’s Sweethearts” SS Seasons: 3 years, 2011, 2012, 2013

SS Chosen Charity: Make-A-Wish Foundation SS Hometown: Bossier City, Los Angeles

!Personality Perception: Easily adaptable, reliable, extremely jovial, seeks to learn, loyal (a rarity these days) hospitable and charming. Miss Bren’s ‘simple attractiveness,’ is not in your face- over the top glam- but she still seems quite fun, genuine, and a trusted type of sexy, rather than a dangerous one.!!What we love away from the field: It seems Amelia Bren habitually supports, promotes, and is very uplifting to her fellow dancers, charities and the Dallas Cowboys players and organization with words of encouragement, positivity, and even cheers for others' media and career advancements.!!According to her DCC profile, her ideal industry/job would be: Communications/Public relations representative for the Make-A-Wish Foundation!!Celebrated Wellness (mind/body):!She doesn't seem compelled to give stealth like commentary. Of course we fancy her new field of interest in communications, and hope we can somehow aide in her goals. It appears as many young ladies, she is still figuring herself out which is okay. She doesn’t hide who she is, judging by her social pages, and her journey seems forthcoming. Bren has emmense support from her dad in every aspect of her employment- even down to the calendars and uniforms. She is a seasoned and trained dancer/performer and he rests in that fact. Physically: great balance in her shape. You can tell she tends to her body, but doesn't seem obsessed. Amelia appears modestly thin but with a womanly curvature and great, healthy, tone in her legs. !! If you would like to nominate a professional cheerleader, please write to: worldstc@gmail.com!!!!
