More lax action from across the pond. You’ll never guess what major lax event occurred in this small country.

This morning we check in with a Latvia player and this afternoon we’ll view some tournament highlights. Vastly improved music but apparently not a lot of goal scoring in this highlight package.

That is until the 2:26 mark.

I’ve heard about the side hanging jowler, but I’ve never actually seen one.

The standard hanging jowler occurs on a bounce shot, usually on a net located indoor, when the ball bounces up and wraps around the cross bar due to loose stringing. The side hanging jowler obviously occurs on the vertical pipes of the cage.

My God, it's beautiful.

Unaware of the wonder wrapped around the post.

I can’t believe Latvia lacrosse is responsible for documenting the first ever side hanging jowler on video if not the first ever side hanging jowler ever.

Good for them. GTG that.

So there were more pushes in the back than goals scored in this video. Who cares? They are learning.

New Pitches

From College Lacrosse 2011′s website: College Lacrosse 2011 boasts several new field styles and conditions. Check out a sample of the ‘circle grass cut’ made by our artist.

Paying attention to the littlest details is a great sign. Cannot wait for this baby to drop. Can we expect a snowy conditions and if so, will that affect the game play?

You guys want some hoodies?

Feeling very inspired after viewing the fan made Oregon uniforms so I snuck onto Nike ID and whipped up these hoodies for some very special humans in the lacrosse world. The K.O. iD Training Hoodie to be specific. I guess if Nike spells hoodie with an “-ie,” I should too.

Don’t bother putting anything over 10 letters.

Nike ID won’t let you, but they will sell you a shirt that looks like this.

This is the Nike Pro Core Fitted Long Sleeve iD shirt with the word savage on the chest. Other options include, beast, clutch, fluid, brotherhood, legit, stacked, and fierce.

This guy probably has better hand eye than you.
