Legs up to the Bar
The newest addition to the Bar Method franchise just opened this past January on the lobby level of Embarcadero Three Center, between Drumm and Davis Streets. Its location makes it a perfect spot for all the downtown workers who like to incorporate a workout into their day but are in need of an alternative to the small selection of basic gyms scattered throughout the Financial District.

Making You Wish For Endless Winter
Spend your winters here and summers in the Southern hemisphere and you can ride the slopes all-year-round. Alright, so we may not all have the luxury of chasing snow, but we ARE very fortunate to have Mountain West, a cozy gem of a shop at the junction of Division and 10th. This independently owned and operated joint stocks just about anything and everything you might need on your next expedition to Tahoe or, say, the slopes in Chile, and it’s never too early to start preparing.

Nighttime Fun for Active Teen
These articles are a mix of teen-friendly venues and events. They were written to fill in the lack of all ages venues and clubs listings in the media. Because there are not enough places for teens to hang out, they often end up at their friends’ houses or doing things their parent’s would not approve of. With these articles, we hope to expose high school students to places where they can have fun and be safe at night. Note: These venues also have 21+ events. Please check the individual event to make sure it's for ages under 21. ACTIVITIES . Yerba Buena Skating and Bowling Center . Kristi Yamaguchi Holiday Ice Rink . Mission Cliffs More

So Easy Even a Chimp Can Do It
Watching my eight-year old twin nephews bomb down the hill when I was getting my first snowboarding lesson on the bunny slope while in my twenties made me feel like throwing down my board and giving up. Why couldn’t I get up on that mountain and fly down it as fearlessly as they did? More

Putting your best face outdoors
Most of us city dwellers like to escape the noise and the pollution of urban living from time to time. For those of us who don’t want to fork over the money to spend the weekend at a B&B in Mendocino, we can take advantage of the hundreds of state, county and national parks throughout California. For this reason, you’d think that we’d have quite a few places in San Francisco to buy gear so that we could spend the night under the stars, but that isn’t the case. For some odd reason, it seems like every camping supply store is either in Berkeley or the South Bay. More

The Finals
UPDATE: Miami is ahead 3 games to 2 over Dallas. And Dwayne Wade is the reason. His ascension up the ladder of success is amazing to watch and if the Heat do indeed take it, we will have watched the most dominant finals by an off guard since Michael Jordan. More

So many overtimes, so many one point games, a champion dethroned, another champion already pushed to seven and new blood coursing through an ever more popular league. David Stern, commisioner of the NBA, must be thrilled. Despite the major market teams not participating, these playoffs have so far been captivating beyond all belief. More

Art Meets Street and Skate
Let's face it: skateboarding, street art and sneakers are each their own nexuses of cool. Stores that specialize in each are certainly not lacking in our wonderfully diverse and artsy city. But if you want to one stop shop or just check out some fresh gear, FTC brings the three elements together with smashing success, and no wonder: owner/founder Kent Uyehara has been in the game for the last 20 years.
