Pete McLeod - Air Race Ace

When the Red Bull Air Race series comes to town there will be a new force to reckoned with in the sky. As a pilot with national acclaim and “local” roots 25 year-old Canadian Pete McLeod is making a strong start in the 2010 Red Bull Air Race Series with precise and fast flying. Based out of London Ontario McLeod is an accomplished aerobatic pilot and appeared at the 2009 Windsor International Air Show. He is flying in only his second season with the Series but is seeing gradual success. Currently standing fifth in the championship he is capturing the attention of many who follow the series. His distinctive red airplane incorporates a maple leaf into the graphics and he grew up playing hockey. This is a Canadian race team competing at the world level and making a statement in only its second season. Truly amazing.
So what better way to show your support than showing up on race weekend with your own PMR84 shirt or hat. McLeod just recently launched his own line of race wear on his website http://www.petemcleodracing.com/ . A stylish selection of t-shirts, polo shirts and hats for men and women are available and feature the Pete McLeod Racing and 84 logos.
The site also features news, photos and videos as well as bios, and other interesting facts and content.
Crews are setting up infrastructure downtown and the excitement is building. The Red Bull Air Races are almost here. So come down and cheer our man on. Canadians Rule. Max Power!

Fishing for Excitement

You’ve heard of card sharks but fishing sharks? One local sportsman is making a name for himself doing just that only with a twist. Lakeshore resident Josh Jorgensen angles for these predators of the sea off the beaches of Florida. He is heavily involved in the tournament scene down there and has become proficient with the development and use of the techniques and equipment required to be successful in reeling in these fearsome creatures. Recently was involved in the production of a documentary film showcasing the 2009 Blacktip Challenge Tournament
Here is a short trailer on the making of the documentary.

The cool part about this tournament is that all sharks caught are measured, tagged and recorded for research purposes and returned to the sea. The sharks reputation as a terror to humans is widely misunderstood and Jorgensen is as much about educating people about sharks as he is a fan of fishing for them.
Josh is one guy that has an appreciation for adrenaline sports and has taken his interest in his favorite sport to the extreme. Go big or go home as the saying goes. Just the way we like it.
