http://bit.ly/HWNb4S — check out the toys and behind the scenes.
We’re GoldieBlox, a toy company out to show the world that girls deserve more choices than dolls and princesses. We believe that femininity is strong and girls will build the future — literally.
Our founder, Debbie Sterling, is a Stanford engineer who decided last year that girls need more choices than the pink aisle has to offer. She developed GoldieBlox, an interactive book series + construction set starring Goldie, the kid inventor who loves to build.
This year, we wondered what we could do to showcase the amazing inventive power that girls have. So…we might have recruited three young girls and that guy who made OK Go’s famous Rube Goldberg machine to turn an average home into a massive, magical contraption.

LYRICS

Girls.
You think you know what we want, girls.
Pink and pretty it’s girls.
Just like the 50’s it’s girls.
You like to buy us pink toys
and everything else is for boys
and you can always get us dolls
and we’ll grow up like them… false.
It’s time to change.
We deserve to see a range.
‘Cause all our toys look just the same
and we would like to use our brains.
We are all more than princess maids.
Girls to build the spaceship,
Girls to code the new app,
Girls to grow up knowing
they can engineer that.
Girls.
That’s all we really need is Girls.
To bring us up to speed it’s Girls.
Our opportunity is Girls.
Don’t underestimate Girls.

Eine sehr spannende Region, inmitten einer abwechslungsreichen Berglandschaft, die jedem Biker viel zu bieten hat. Infos zur Region: http://goo.gl/sdEMD3
Die unvergleichliche Natur in Verbindung mit viel Fahrspaß hat auf Biker schon immer anziehend gewirkt. Die Ferienregion Lenzerheide bietet eben die perfekte Mischung aus flowigen Trails, Gastfreundschaft und dem Flair eines gemütlichen Bergdorfes. Die “Bike Attack Strecke” vom Gipfel des fast 3.000 m hohen Rothorn ist legendär. Auch die Trails um die Junehütte von Berg Scalottas sind nicht von schlechten Eltern. Anlieger, Sprünge, enge Kurven – für jeden Biker ist etwas dabei.
Watch Jean-Claude Van Damme carry out his famous split between two reversing trucks. Never done before, JCVD says it’s the most epic of splits — what do you think? Please share & comment!
