Everything Else / Anything Else Powerisers / Message from my Mum

I was in Manchester last couple of days and on the way home last night on the plane saw an article in the Manchester evening times about two guys jumping around the city centre on powerisers. They called them gravity boots, though. The picture of them is quite good - I've kept the cutting for you.

Everything Else / Anything Else Powerisers / Ashrita Furman - World Record

http://www.ashrita.com/stories/never-give-up/document_viewHave you guys seen this page? It's a good story of how he came to using Powerbocks to break a few world records. Here's a brief quotation from there: I decided to buy them anyway and had great hopes during my initial practices, but whenever I got past 50 yards my legs began to get wobbly. Nothing helped. I finally presumed that the stilts were designed for acrobatic stunts and were too heavy for distance running; so I consigned the space-age toys to the basement along with my pogo boots and bamboo hula hoops.
Then this past September, my buddies suddenly got involved in the project. For no apparent reason, Udar and Homagni decided to take an intense interest in my stilts. Homagni got on the web and spent hours researching other types of stilts and possible running styles. Udar began taking the stilts apart in a local metal working shop and fiddled with the design while still maintaining the Guinness requirement that each stilt be at least 40 inches high. Within a week, these guys had me down at the track completely convinced that I could break the record with some training. They basically shamed me into it! Udar is a stocky, muscular mountain climber who hardly ever runs and whose favorite exercise video features a fellow who explodes unopened beer cans by crushing them with his bare hands. With great deliberation, Udar strapped the stilts on and took off, sprinting around the track like a madman. Okay, maybe it was more of a fast jog than a sprint, and true, he did keel over after 300 yards, but still it was impressive. Stunned, I put the stilts on, and for the first time in more than 7 years I was able to do a circuit of the track at world record pace!

At the top of the site you have. Home, Forum, Chat... and below that you have Help, Search, Calendar... Now Gallery, Contacts, Chat and Links are in both of those lists. Put those lists together maybe and Organize em out some how.
I've done some work into doing this. The Help, Search, Calendar... menu on the forum pages is now gone- and the links within it have been relocated either to the black bar at the top of the website, or the tabs. Matt

Hej,
Jag skal skriva i Engelsk- sorry!
I wonder if anyone could help me translate the following for the website?
"If you're new, then it's very much recommended to have a look in the knowledge section- where a lot of your questions are probably answered."; "New to PoweriserPages?"; "Upcoming Events"; "View the Calendar"; "There are no events in the next 3 weeks.";
Tack,
Matt
