Show Your Ability Show 2008

I went to the Show Your Ability road show today and it was pretty good. I got to see some back cushions that i personally am interested in, which were the Motion Concepts backs.

Invacare unfortunately didn't have a TDX SR on demo as it's arriving tomorrow, so hopefully the TDX SR will be at the other shows.

Invacare did have a 'pimped up' TDX SP though and WOW!!! Rims painted gold, castor forks painted gold, lights, radio and speakers, PSP, GP, seat decoration, 8 Que ball on top of joystick controller etc.. Below are some photos

Olympic hockey tournament participants New Zealand

The game was so tense to watch, we thought Argentina had taken it but in the last few seconds the Black Sticks scored the golden goal, what a goal that was too. It was 1-0 to Argentina at half time, then the game ended in a draw 2-2. NZ took the win with 3-2.

World Hockey Olympic Qualifier - NZ vs France

YAY New Zealand beat France 2-0 which means New Zealand are in the final playing against Argentina tomorrow. Ireland will be playing against France.

World Hockey Olympic Qualifier

I went to the World Hockey Olympic Qualifier the other day to watch my first live hockey game and it was awesome!!! Since I play the game it made it easier to follow.
I sat above the teams area and had a clear view of the whole grounds.
The 2 games I watched were New Zealand vs Argentina which we lost 0-2. The other game was Ireland vs USA and Ireland kicked USA butt's heheh 7-0 Argentina, Ireland and New Zealand are the top teams but Argentina is the better team as I have heard. Argentina had great defence along with great attack when playing against NZ.

NZ didn't play too good that day I thought, compared to the game I watched 2 day's before. Every time the NZ team tried to pass, Argentina players were all over the NZ player's. But we did score then Argentina protested about our goal bad's sportmans ship.
My Auntie and Uncle are here from Ireland to watch the hockey and of course are wanting Ireland to win. So it's been kinda funny trying to see what teams I want to loose to keep NZ top and get into the finals. NZ did beat Ireland 2-1 :D
