If you think speedboats are boring and jet skis are for wimps, then Bancarera’s might just be your new speed trip adventure. Bancarera (English term boat racing) is an old and traditional sport competition of fisherfolks from the Philippines. In coastal cities and municipalities, Bancarera is a common event and has become part of most programs during foundation anniversaries, Earth day, and ocean week. Race organizers invite racers from different coastal communities all over the country to participate in the spectacle. The event also draws in local, national and even foreign spectators.

There are two type of boat racing – one that uses paddies and another, using engines. The paddies race features the application of kasig or bamboo paddles on the both side of the boat to move it across the water. This type of boat racing is actually being practiced by marginalized fisherfolks not only as a form of sport but also as a daily source of income. Motor boats are the modified forms of fishing boats that use highly powerful engines to tread the seas. With this type of water vehicle, people are more freely able to personalize boat designs and be faster in bancarera’s. Elite motor boat racers use fiber glass for their boat’s body, a piece of stick to use for pushing, pulling and steering, and a long bamboo shoot for balance. During the race, all participants are required to use engines with uniformed running power.

When the race starts, the rider positions himself on the backside of the boat to balance the weight and let the front portion of boat elevate from sea level to set up the speeding position. Once the signal is given, participants are encouraged to speed up to the extent of their engine’s capacity. The race tests the skills and ability of competitors in maneuvering their boat while rapidly treading waters and the reward is often money and a new engine.

A few decades back, you’d find it impossible for women to enter into men’s sports such as basketball. Now, you can even see them on the ring, wearing their boxing gloves, getting ready to fight.
A boxing match between two women is coined as foxy boxing. I really wonder why it is named as such. Maybe it’s because women are as a wild and as ferocious as foxes when they are so ready to fight. Or maybe because foxes have that certain poise and grace when they fight that can be seen in women when they are in the boxing ring.
Whatever the real reason for its name is, there is one thing that is certain: women are now proving their worth in this sports reserved only for the “tough guys”. Two of them are already known worldwide as legends. If you’re a real boxing fanatic, then you would know Christy Martin and Laila Ali.
Laila Ali may be a familiar figure for most of us because she is the daughter of the boxing legend Muhammad Ali. She’s been the new torchbearer for the women’s category now, after having defeated the hardy Christy Martin in the fourth round.
If you aren’t familiar with Christy Martin, she is the female boxer who fought as an undercard in many of Tyson’s matches. She has frequently stolen the spotlight, and not a few sportswriters were more interested in her than the great Mike Tyson. Back then, she was not fighting against women, she fought against hardy male boxers, and had won some matches too.
It took a long while for the sports to get the acceptance of the world. A few countries such as Sweden and UK had boxing matches in as early as the 1980’s, but the first World Championships was not held until 2001. However, it is gaining recognition, and last year, in the 2008 Olympics, foxy boxing was an exhibition sports. This coming 2012, it will be added as an official sport in the Olympics, and a lot of fans are so eager to find out who’s going to bring home the medal.

Last September 28, 2009, I caught a glimpse of the opening of F1 Singapore Grand Prix, which was held in Singapore, on TV and I found it amazing. As was publicized, it was Singapore’s First Grand Prix event and the first night race in F1 history. It was cool to see drivers racing against each other in the familiar setting of the race track, but with a new night atmosphere. For the first time, the formula one racets sped with the illumination generated by a specially recreated light just for F1 2009. The total numbers of lighting projectors were almost 1,500 and they were four times brighter than the other average sports stadium lights. These lights enabled F1 racers to see clearly and drive accurately through the tracks at top acceleration. Undoubtedly, this historic event is just one of the many things to look forward to for Formula One Racing. The Singapore night race was also recreated in the form of a game. And for the first time ever, all gamers will be able to experience the excitement of being part of the F1 race.
