Gatorade x KicksOnFire – Vincent Jackson Interview (San Diego Chargers)

The introduction of the new G-Series marks a major step in the evolution of Gatorade from a sports drink to a sports performance innovator. Scientists collaborated with athletes such as Usain Bolt, Serena Williams, Peyton Manning, Misty May Treanor, Dwayne Wade, Derrick Jeter, Ellery Hollingsworth and Landon Donovan to create the new Gatorade G-Series. The new series is a line of sports performance products that fuel athletes before (Gatorade Prime 01), during (Gatorade Perform 02) and after (Gatorade Recover 03) workout, practice or competition.

During the week of Superbowl XLIV, the KicksOnFire crew was invited to the Gatorade Performance Lab in South Miami, which showcased scientists conducting performance tests on NFL’s top athletes, including:

Overview: Gatorade scientists conducted Athlete Performance Testing on several NFL players to educate each player about their individualized fluid needs, fuels used during exercise, and how the new G-Series fits into their training before, during and after their workouts. The testing included several steps:

• Estimation of body composition via BOD POD air displacement chamber. (pictured below)
• Pre-test weight-in and urine collection.
• 30-min cycling session.
• Post-test weigh-out.

The KicksOnFire Crew got a chance to sit down with Vincent Jackson (WR) of the San Diego Chargers to discuss his experience with Gatorade’s new G-Series line-up and his workouts:

Since they’re KicksOnFire.com, they HAD to ask him about his sneaker game. They got a chance to ask him several questions about his collection and how he would match up again Kobe in a one on one game:

Lasonic’s iPod Boombox

The iPod has certainly become the primary option for listening to music. But some of us miss the good ol’ days when we used to pop in a cassette and haul a boombox down the block while listening to “Fight The Power.” For those of you that are too young, just watch Spike Lee’s “Do The Right Thing” and check out the legendary Radio Raheem. Lasonic was one of the first to blend the digital advancements of the iPod with the nostalgia of the boombox with their i931 model. Originally released back in 2008, the Ghetto Blaster may have flew under the radar but its unique style is something worth noting. It has an iPod dock, AM/FM radio, alarm, supports SD and USB flash, EQ adjuster, and uses AC power or batteries. The company also announced that they will be releasing a new model this year that is compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch. You can cop the older model now at Lasonic’s online store for $129.
