I was stoked when I got the callto do an article on SLO Countydirt bike riding! I have been rid-

ing dirt bikes locally since 1970.When I was a kid the opportunitiesto ride were endless! I learned toride at Rabbit Road in Morro Bay. Itwas the dirt road behind the highschool, now the Cloisters. Therewere lots of opportunities to rideback then, people were a lot moreopen to our sport. Santa Maria had

Spillway Park MX track and they had flattrack races at the speedway all the time!

Now even with the motorcycle industry,as well as the after-market exhaust manu-facturers, making major efforts to createQUIET power, it seems as if new opportuni-ties to ride are limited. Our local ridingspots are Pozo and Pismo which are “yearround” and Ballinger Canyon from Octoberto April. And there is always a friend with atrack on their rural property or one of yourown.

If you are new to riding dirt bikes here area few tips. First keep your bike mainte-nance up! Fresh oil, check your spokes,clean air filter, properly adjusted and lubedchain, and good tires with the proper airpressure are a must. I recommend ultraheavy duty tubes.

Today’s safety gear is first class. Here iswhat I wear and recommend: helmet, gog-gles, neck support (they really work), elbow

pads, gloves, chest protector, kidney belt, hippads, padded underwear, knee braces (aminimum of pads), and a good motorcycleboot.

The bike. I ride a 2006 Yamaha yz250fand a 2006 yz450f. The yz250f is the per-fect play bike. It feels light and nimble and Ican even pull no hander landers on it!(Usually a two stroke trick) I highly recom-mend the 250F’s for everything but desert.They fly readily, have enough power to getover most obstacles and they wheelie formiles. My 450 is an awesome desert racingmachine, it is super fast, good in the sand,but a little heavy for most SLO county trails.

I always run CYCRA wrap around handguards, they save your hands from brush.TRAILTECH Speedo/trip meter, this allowsyou to know how far you have ridden andwhen to change your oil. I like the McGrathbend RENTHAL fat bars, they do not bend.SEAL SAVERS, these save your fork sealsfrom mud, they work. UNI filter, FMF megabomb head pipe, stock muffler with billetend cap/spark arrestor, this combination isless than 96 DB with good power. And aWhite Brothers skid plate. For larger riderslike myself I recommend raising the fork oillevel to the top measurement and stiffer forksprings. But most of all, I recommend gettingout and having fun on your dirt bike!

It isn’t a secret that poker, specifically no limitTexas Hold’em, has exploded worldwide. Whydoes it seem like everywhere you look there is a

poker tournament on TV, a friendly game at yourfriend’s house and endless fundraisers having acasino party with poker? Let me explain my per-spective on the subject.

Lets look at poker as a hobby and pas-time. For starters, it appeals to the compet-itive nature of some. It satisfies the needfor comradery for others. For me, it satisfiesmy need to analyze people while havingfun with friends! Most importantly, TexasHold’em is sort of modern kickball orMonopoly. It is very hip to invite a group offriends together for a good game and somelaughs without feeling like many will beleft out. Although I have no issues with it,it may be a little awkward for some to sayto a group, “Lets have a regular Tuesdaynight chess get together”! Texas Hold’em isan amazingly complex game that satisfiesmost people’s interests. It is also a gamethat is easily enjoyed by all ages and skilllevels at the same time. From a recreation-al standpoint, I am glad to see so manypeople realize that Texas Hold’em is agreat game and not a dark alley gamblingand taboo activity.

The idea of poker as a sport and careeris not as new as many think. It is theexplosion of poker on television that mightgive that impression. It is true that televi-sion has launched poker into a main-stream and lifestyle level never beforeseen but poker has been popular for a longtime. Worldwide the numbers of playersrecreationally and professionally have climbed tothe hundreds of millions, outnumbering almost allactivities by huge stacks! Internet poker, althoughbeing restricted more and more, has an enormousfollowing as well. This is especially true for playerswho just can’t get enough live poker, stay up lateand do not require the social aspect of a friendlyhome game. For some, poker is serious work andendless hours are spent daily fine tuning the math-ematics and arts of certain hands, the value of thenext bet, seat position, bluffs, tells, growing theirbankroll and seeing the endless psychology used inthe game.

How much does psychology play a role in TexasHold’em? Endless. The mental games can be farmore complex than simply pretending to representcards you don’t have or having the guts to bet

against someone intimidating that is bluffing andbetting into you. There is an art to it all and far lessluck than many beginners rely on. There is more toknow than the basic strategy and dollar amountsthat make sense to bet under each situation. Youneed to understand other player’s intentions just the

same. “Tells” are a great place to start to knowwhether or not you are making the correct guessesabout what other people are doing. Tells from otherplayers are clues to what might be going on. Hereare some examples of what poker players call “tells”.

TELLS 101:• A big exhale of air followed by a little,

whimpering voice from another player say-ing, “I guess I’ll bet” can certainly be a signa strong hand!

• People focus so much on their face and handsand forget their feet. Someone acting strongcould have a horrible hand if their feet curl undertheir chair.

• A player who sits back and seems to show notrue interest in the game after seeing his or hercards often has uninteresting or bad cards.

• A player who has had bad posture for manyhands all of sudden sits up, adjusts themselvesand show some interest, may have a very pow-erful hand.

• If a player is showing a pacifying behavior likerubbing the eyebrows, ear lobes, covering thechest with one hand, rubbing the neck or twist-ing the hair may be under stress. It may be agood time to really put on heavy pressure sothey decide to give up the hand!

• When a non-seasoned player suddenly seems toprotect their cards by covering them with theirhands and leans closer to them, you could be introuble.

• Subconscious intention to be involved in thehand comes when a player sees a great handand immediately looks and touches their chips.Be careful!

• A false smile could be a sign of low confidencewith a players cards. However, a genuine smileis a sign of strength.

• If someone trembles when they bet, they areexcited and are not often nervous! They couldhave a monster of a hand.

This is just a sample of thousands of ideas. It isimportant to notice if people are acting or being nat-ural. Often the truth is the opposite of what some-one is trying to convey when “acting” and right ontarget if their gesture is “natural” or “automatic”.From the words used, the posture, the way someonebets, where they look with their eyes, how a playerhandles their chips and cards, to how one breathesare just the tip of the iceberg of the fun and com-plexity of tells in poker - and in life for that matter!

Although anyone can start to play and discoverthe thrill or social side to poker today, there are somany ways to improve your playing ability andmake the game more rewarding. There are dozensof books on the subject of advanced tells, strategyand fundamentals. It is has been said time and timeagain, Texas Hold’em only takes a couple minutes tolearn and a lifetime to master.

If you would like to learn how to impress, intimi-date or just look like you know what you are doingwith your chips and cards, get a set of the OfficialPoker Chip and Handling DVDs throughwww.OfficialPokerInc.com or stores worldwide. SanLuis Obispo native Rich Ferguson is the host of theDVDs! Fit for any age or skill level, this DVD Series isthe first encyclopedic source teaching everyday peo-ple how to do anything imaginable with chips andcards.

POKERPOKERPOKER!

How to do a“knuckle roll”

EFFECT: A coin continuously rolls over

your knuckles.

EXPLANATION: This is called the “knuckle

roll,” otherwise known as the “coin roll.”

Hold a chip between your first finger and

thumb. Leave most of the chip hanging out

towards you. (Figure 1) With your thumb, slide

the chip onto the top of the first finger. (Figure

2) The position where the chip must rest is the

straight part of the finger between the base of

the finger and middle knuckle. Keep this spot

level. (Figure 3) The idea is to get it to balance

here. When you flip it up to the first finger it

overhangs a bit on both sides of the finger.

Lift up your middle finger so it can come

back down and clip the edge of the chip.

When pulling the middle finger down onto the

edge of the chip, the chip will flip up vertically.

It is essentially pinched at this point. (Figure 4)

Tilt your hand so the chip can fall down

slightly onto the middle finger. As you tilt,

release the chip completely and let it fall and

rest atop the middle finger exactly as with the

first finger. Now using the ring finger, get the

chip to roll over onto the ring finger. From

here, it will get a little tricky. It does not flip

over onto the pinkie. You actually turn your

hand down a little bit, curl your pinky and let

the chip get pinched onto the curled pinky’s

edge. (Figure 5) Until you have this down to a

science, tilt your hand a little more so you can

see the chip from the underside of your fin-

gers.

The curled pinky with the chip should now

be repositioned to bring the chip to the under-

side of your hand. (Figure 6) There should be

a good amount of chip exposed to allow for

the thumb to overtake the chip. (Figure 6)

While the chip is pinched between the thumb

and the underside of the fingers, slide the chip

up and to the starting point again!

That actually is all there is to it. It’s really a

knack that you need to develop but it’s one of

the coolest things you can do at the poker

table.

TIPS: One other thing to remember on this

effect is you don’t go over the pinkie. That’s

where a lot of people get confused; you don’t

continue going over. You just let the chip pivot

onto the pinkie, which is bent to receive it, and

then the thumb goes underneath and receives

it. Once you get really fast at this coin roll, the

handoff between the pinky and thumb can be

sped up tremendously. In fact, the sliding of

the chip under the fingers will get less and less

as you improve. You will find yourself handing

off the chip to the thumb and developing the

balance to swing around to the starting posi-

tion with no sliding at all. Amazingly, when I

roll heavy silver dollars, the chip is accurately

tossed from the curled pinky to the thumb!

ADVANCED: Another trick is to take the

chip and roll it into the other hand. You go

from the pinkie right over the pinkie onto the

thumb of the other hand. Instead of going

underneath with the pinky, you actually go

completely over the pinkie onto the awaiting

hand. So now you can have a continuous flow

of the chip from hand to hand!

REAL BOY’S will go for the totalpackage when it comes to beingthe Captain of their ship. As any

Captain knows, a total package of funwill get to the total fun sooner. Extremefun awaits all real boys who care toindulge themselves in the BoatingLifestyle.THE TOTAL PACKAGE

A boat isn’t just something to takeyou from point A to point B. It’s a des-tination in itself — a place where youcan relax and spend time with yourfamily. That’s why it’s so importantyour boat is equipped with all the fea-tures that make a weekend on thewater more enjoyable. Features whichare sometimes optional, but you maywant to consider include: a custom,matching trailer with swing-awaytongue, a satellite-ready Marine stereo,and an integrated swim platform. INTERNAL PROPULSION

It’s a simple idea. But the benefits areimmeasurable. Propellers housed inter-nally pull water into the tubes andpush it back out through the nozzles—which direct the water flow to maneu-ver the boat. Compared to stern drive

systems, an internal propulsion systemallows for a more maneuverable ride,with better acceleration and minimalhesitation due to an overall lighter-weight boat. Not only does the fuel-efficient, twin-engine system give youa smoother ride, it also minimizes thetime and money you spend on mainte-nance. A simple driveline design hasfewer moving parts so there’s no needfor oil changes or fluid refills. After all,it’s important to spend less time main-taining your boat and more time withthe people inside it.INTERNAL PROPULSION PROVIDES:

•The higher thrust point of an internalpropulsion system pushes the boat for-ward rather than up. This reduces bowrise and allows the boat to planequickly and efficiently.

•The absence of an exposed prop givesyou the flexibility and freedom to gowhere other boats can’t.•With a drive train that’s set deep with-in the hull, there’s no protruding pro-peller, so you and your family havepeace of mind when getting in and outof the water.

By Sam Chew

When I tell most people about my involvement withBilliards instruction, I catch an array of differentresponses, ranging from “I’ve been playing for years.

The only thing I need to work on now is just making all the ballsin one turn.” Down to “Oh, I’ve never played pool. Could youteach me something cool?” So, having received this opportunityto write an open ended article such as this, I’ve decided to writeon some game philosophies that can benefit a player at anylevel, for competition or casual play.

To begin, I need to dispel the common misconception thatplaying pool is about pocketing a ball or some balls each turn.Moreover, it’s not necessarily good to make some or most of yourballs during a single turn. Specifically, there is always someintended challenge to overcome in order to win. For example, in8-ball (aka Solids/Stripes), the challenge is to pocket all of theballs of one set and then to finish with the eight ball. In 9-ball,the challenge is that the cue ball must always hit the lowestnumbered ball first and to, eventually, pocket the nine ball towin. In the end, if you make every ball except one or if you sim-ply pocket nothing, then, either way, you will not receive anymore “points” or “recognition” than the other player when he orshe accomplishes the goal. Ultimately, the aspect that truly mat-ters in any game is how a player manages to accomplish the goalset before him or her, which includes playing correctly at thebeginning to finish in the end; a run-out is only as successful asthe last ball pocketed.

Overall, the best decision a player can make is one that willboth overcome the challenges of the game goal and also causecomplications for the opponent. If a player can shift his or hermindset away from shooting easy shots until “Hail Mary” typehits are required, then he or she will immediately see anincrease in success from forcing opponents to shoot the exces-sively challenging shots. Often times, a player’s major downfallis attempting shots and complicated run-outs that are so difficult,that the potential of success is less than 10%.

Of course, I know that the professionals seem to constantlyplay offensively, but the issue is, for all of us who do not manage40-60 hrs of table time per week: do we have the specific con-trol to overcome every challenge in front of us? The reality is thata truly intermediate level player has a different sense of selfawareness when he or she plays, which enables them to choosepaths of success over possible failure. This type of player insightworks directly with the thoughtful shift in strategy from above.

In the end, I will share that after ten years of seriously playingBilliards and having taught over 1000 people an Introduction toBilliards that nearly all of my success comes from strong deci-sions concerning shot foresight and maintaining basic, reliableskills. Just remember that a player will always benefit fromaddressing problems early in the game and that a player shouldalways play within his or her strengths when competing.

Sam Chew: Cal Poly Graduate 2006, Instructor of Billiards 9years, Active Player 15 years, preferred games: 9-ball, one pocket,snooker.

KiteSurfingQ&Awith Kinsley ThomasWong

What’s it like to Kitesurf?When you kitesurf, you feel like you are surfing

because you are riding a wave with your kite anda surfboard. You feel like you are waveboarding orsnowboarding if you are riding a twintip kiteboard.You feel like you are flying if you hit a big 30 footjump! You feel totally free and nothing is on yourmind except pure fun!

List 3 of the best spots to kitesurf in San LuisObispo County.

My favorite kitesurf spot is Pismo-OceanoBeach. Second is Arroyo Laguna near PiedrasBlancas. Third is Pico Creek, near San Simeon.

What kind of gear is needed for kitesurfing?You need at least a kite, but preferably 2 kites,

a board, and a harness. A helmet and animpact vest would be highly recommended, butmost important take kitesurfing lessons beforeyou do any kitesurfing.

What’s important for kitesurfing safety? You need to take kitesurfing lessons first. Buy

2007 kitesurfing equipment because they areway safer than 2006 kitesurfing equipment.And lastly, have a good attitude: Don’t kitesurfalone by yourself, only go as far as you are will-ing to paddle back, and again: Take kitesurfinglessons from a certified kitesurfing school.

What tips are recommended for a first-timekitesurfer?

Watch a kiteboarding instructional DVD thenfly a trainer kite as many hours as possiblebefore you take kitesurfing lessons. A trainerkite can be flown safely on the beach or at thepark in light wind. You can purchase the DVDand trainer kite at XtremeBigAir.com.

What’s the history of the sport? Kitesurfing is by far the latest craze in extreme

sports. The idea of using a kite to enhance speedand gravity for the surfer seems like a new andexhilarating challenge, yet the art of Kitesurfingdates back to the 13th Century Chinese when itwas used as a simple mode of transportation.KiteSailing, as it was known, was a medium thatused the wind as an aid to harness its momentumand energy to mobilize their canoes across water.The earliest recorded history of KiteSailing datesback to the early 12th Century.

In the 1800’s George Pocock took the basickite design to a whole new level by increasingthe size of the overall kite and used them as asail to glide carts on land and ships on thewater. The designs of the kites were engi-neered with 4 lines, the same setup beingdeployed today. Both carts and boats were ableto turn and sail upwind. The wind would gen-erate enough lift underneath the kite to raise itoff the ground and powerful enough to sustain itfor a period of time.

Kitesurfing can trace its roots back to itsancestors, “kite-skiing” and “flysurfing” whichfirst appeared back in the early 1980’s. CoryRoeseler from Oregon began to develop hisKiteski system using a rigid framed kite with areel-bar & water-skis. The kite-skier launchedthe kite by hand and let out line from the reel tobegin riding. When the kite crashed, the pilotreeled in the lines to re-launch.

At about the same time in France theLegaignoux brothers were working on theirearly prototypes for inflatable kites. These theytested on water-skis and a variety of otherwatercraft. The Legaignoux brothers called theirsport “Flysurfing,” and their kites eventually

became the basis for the original Wipika system.The modern era of kitesurfing began mid 90’s

when Laird Hamilton and Manu Bertin gainedrecognition by kite-surfing on Maui’s north shore.Riding surf style boards with footstraps, they cap-tured the imagination of the water sport community.

What is the difference between flying upwindvs. downwind?

Flying upwind is going against the direction ofthe wind. Flying downwind is going with thedirection of the wind. When you fly a kite straightup, the kite is hovering above your head, your backis against the wind. That is how you determinewhere the wind is coming from.

How can someone off the streets getinvolved?

The instructors at www.XtremeBigAir.com areextremely professional and they have beenteaching kitesurfing since 1998. They openedthe first Inter-national Certified KitesurfingSchool in the USA. Since then, they have taughtmany celebrities as well as students fromaround the world. They are located locally herein Pismo Beach. Email: Info@XtremeBigAir.comor call them at 805-773-9200.

Kinsley ThomasWong is the original owner ofXtremeBigAir.com.He started in 1994 to offerparagliding lessons and tandem paragliding flighton the Central Coast and Paragliding Xpeditionsaround the world. In 1997, Kinsley got an invita-tion from Bruno Legaignoux to join him inDominican Republic to become one of the few veryfirst certified Kitesurfing instructors. Today, KinsleyThomasWong is passionately involved in bothparagliding and kitesurfing.
