Summer might be at its tail end, but it’s never too early to prepare for the first heat wave of 2010. For those of us who prefer an element of extreme sports, such as the amazingly artistic Parkour, which we happen to be a leading authority on, in everything that we do, this AquaClimb rock climbing wall adds mountain climbing ...

In the spirit of really large and cool shit for the summer, check out this Gigantic Water Play Slide from “ridiculously expensive stuff” extraordinaire Hammacher Schlemmer.

Pool noodles are synonymous with summer. In fact, we can’t recall any other use that pool noodles have ever been used for. All we remember are memories from our youth in which we would be chasing after our younger siblings and friends with the noodle between our legs, threatening to smack them with our phallus.
