If you are looking to purchase a radio controlled skateboard as a gift then there are several things you need to know about the recipient of the gift and then the radio controlled skateboard itself.

When it comes to the individual that is going to be receiving the skateboard you are going to want to know the weight of the individual. There are skateboards in the EMAD line that will accommodate around 300 pounds for example. Or you can get them with a lower wattage that will support around 140 pounds.

In addition to this you are going to want to know just how advanced or basic should you go when making the purchase of the radio controlled skateboard. For example if you were to go with XLR8 150 watt RC skateboard made from EMAD then you would be purchasing a basic radio controlled unit which would be well suited for the novice skateboard rider. On the other hand you could purchase the 45″ all terrain 800 watt RC Skateboard which has many more options.

Once you have an idea of the requirements of the individual that you are purchasing the radio controlled skateboard for, then you have to make some of your own decisions. This means you need to have a basic knowledge about these types of boards. To begin with you need to know that there are several brands.

If you want to purchase a board that is of good quality and reasonably priced then you are safe to go with the EMAD brand. They are leaders in the electronic skateboard industry. In addition to this you need to decide on the price range you want to stay in. This will depend on what features you want the skateboard to have. The biggest aspect that affects the price will be the wattage of the board. The watts can range from 150 up to 800. This is where knowing how intense the user will be with the board comes in handy.

Finally you are going to find that there are many choices of places to purchase a radio controlled skateboard. This is applicable to both online and on land. Ideally if you purchase online you will want to buy from a reputable dealer such as radio-control-skateboard.com. When you buy from trustworthy dealers such as these then you know you are getting the real thing and dealing with dealers that are going to stand behind their products.

Violence in sports committed by athletes, especially when guns are involved, can affect and even end careers. Even an athlete’s freedom could be at risk.

Ask New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress, who in 12 months went from Super Bowl hero to prison inmate without his gun leaving his pocket. Now, Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas is facing questions by authorities for bringing a gun into the locker room, ostensibly to impress a teammate who had lost money to Arenas in a card game on a team flight and hadn’t settled his debt.

Burress, who accidentally shot himself in the leg with an illegal gun in a New York City nightclub in November 2008, was sentenced to two years in prison in late September. His best case scenario is for release in May of 2011, meaning he will have missed two football seasons. He will be 34 by the time the 2011 season starts, which is on the old side for receivers not named Jerry Rice. His playing career is likely over.

Arenas brought two unloaded guns into the Wizards practice locker room on Dec. 21. Reportedly, this was the upshot of a back and forth exchange on a team flight between Arenas and Javaris Crittenton where Crittenton had jokingly threatened to shoot Arenas in his surgically repaired knee.

Arenas has issued the following statement:

“As I have said before, I had kept the four unloaded handguns in my house in Virginia, but then moved them over to my locker at the Verizon Center to keep them away from my young kids,” the statement read. “I brought them without any ammunition into the District of Columbia, mistakenly believing that the recent change in the DC gun laws allowed a person to store unloaded guns in the District. On Monday, December 21st, I took the unloaded guns out in a misguided effort to play a joke on a teammate. Contrary to some press accounts, I never threatened or assaulted anyone with the guns and never pointed them at anyone. Joke or not, I now recognize that what I did was a mistake and was wrong. I should not have brought the guns to DC in the first place, and I now realize that there’s no such thing as joking around when it comes to gun-even if unloaded.”

Despite the contrition, Arenas has put his own career and the Wizards’ season in jeopardy. He has been called into a series of meetings with federal authorities, and recently was suspended indefinitely by NBA commissioner David Stern.

Arenas is one of the best players in the league and the focus of the Wizards offense. He has started all 31 games in which he has played, averaging nearly 23 points and seven assists per contest. Some veteran observers of the NBA expect Stern to show his aversion to violence in sports by suspending Arenas for the remainder of the season. This would cripple the Wizards, a team with playoff aspirations going into this season, and potentially force the team into a series of personnel moves.

Despite the ignorance that created this mess, Arenas is aware of the affects of his actions and has expressed regret. “I am very sorry for the effect that my serious lapse in judgment has had on my team, my teammates, the National Basketball Association and its fans,” Arenas said. “I want to apologize to everybody for letting them down with my conduct, and I promise to do better in the future.”

Unfortunately for the Wizards, their fans, those holding tickets to see Arenas and his team play, and especially the African American youth who see Arenas as a role model, Arenas’ brush with violence in sports is very likely to put that future on hold, and could temporarily cost him his freedom.
