NEMRR: Free StaCyc Youth Demo Program Continuing In 2023 - RoadracingWorld.com

NorthEast Motorcycle Road Racing (NEMRR) has a program allowing children to test ride StaCyc electric balance bikes for free, and the program will continue at all 2023 NEWRR race events, including the 100^th Loudon Classic.

The program started in 2022 when Freedom Cycle, a dealership located in Concord, New Hampshire, provided NEMRR with eight StaCyc electric balance bikes to offer demo rides to children.

“The idea was to get kids interested in riding,” NEMRR Executive Director John Grush told Roadracingworld.com. “We set up a little course with cones [in the paddock at New Hampshire Motor Speedway], gave them a little instruction and a lot of supervision, and set them loose, basically. It was pretty amazing to watch those kids progress from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. We had kids putting knee pucks on and dragging their knees on those things.”

Initially, NEMRR was running just one, 1.5-hour session on one day of its race weekends and, based on demand, that quickly expanded to two sessions on one day of each race event. In 2023, the program will expand again to two days each weekend, giving more young people a chance to start riding.

There’s no fee or advanced registration required. The kids only need to wear long pants, a parent needs to sign the release waiver, and then it’s first-come, first-served.

“We provide helmets and knee and elbow pads and the StaCyc,” said Grush.

NEMRR currently does not have a youth-based mini road racing element to its club. So, what happens when the children or their parents inquire about getting involved with racing?

“We work with [NEMRR racer] Sergio Di Molfetta and he has a [mini] racing series with 50cc and up bikes on courses in parking lots. We steer them to that program,” said Grush. “Sergio actually volunteers his time to supervise and give the kids instruction.”

In addition to safety gear and the StaCycs, NEMRR provides volunteers to offer supervision and some instruction to riders. Here, NEMRR racer Sergio Di Molfetta works with a young rider. Photo by Sam Draiss, courtesy NEMRR.

A Forspoken demo looks set to be announced imminently.

A tweet promoting the demo was posted by the Japanese PlayStation Twitter account. It seems as though it may have been mistakenly published ahead of schedule, with an official announcement potentially set for The Game Awards on Thursday.

Alternatively, the demo could be confirmed during a new gameplay showcase on Friday. The 11-minute stream will be broadcast on December 9 at 10am PT / 1pm / ET / 6pm GMT.

Forspoken | 10-Minute Gameplay Trailer

Announced for PS5 and PC in June 2020, Forspoken is the debut game from Square Enix’s Luminous Productions.

In June the publisher delayed the game for a second time. Having originally been scheduled to arrive in May 2022, the Forspoken release date was pushed back by a further three and a half months, from October to January 24, 2023.

In August, Square Enix debuted 10 minutes of gameplay, focusing on combat and parkour.

“Players can choose to wreak magical havoc on enemies, fighting in a controlled frenzy and unleashing a barrage of quick-fire spells or they can take a more methodical approach wielding powerful and calculated attacks on their adversaries. In Forspoken, no two fights are ever the same,” it claimed.

Square Enix has said it’s aiming to deliver “the highest quality visuals ever seen in an open world game” with Forspoken, which will be a PlayStation console exclusive for two years.

SEATTLE — Vulcan Real Estate has filed early demolition plans for an old commercial building at 501 Dexter Ave. N. That's on the corner of Republican Street, just east of Aurora Avenue North after it emerges from the tunnel.

Dickson will demolish the structure. Earthwise Architectural Salvage will save whatever materials it can from the small, 70-year-old office building. Vulcan acquired it from the city in 2002 for $516,000.

Demo Games You Can Play From A Non-gaming PC - MacSources

depolitikblog.blogspot.com

PCs are an incredibly useful tool for many activities, including surfing the internet, personal projects, and different hobbies like photo editing, music making, vlogging, blogging, or gaming. Sure, you can enjoy many hobbies and relaxing activities using your PC, but gaming is one of the most popular.

Gaming is not a new activity on the market, yet it has always adapted to trends and managed to stay at the top of the preferences. Playing video games was a thing even before the internet became accessible, and it has fascinated generations of children and adults alike.

The good news about the evolution of video games is undoubtedly diversity. You can find numerous types of video games, depending on the features you’d like them to have, characters, action courses, and even visuals.

The most popular games remain those which operate online, meaning those that require the internet to work. It’s unlikely you’ll still find popular games that only work offline, even though some will offer the “offline feature,” too, only to keep players hooked.

When it comes to popular game genres, the most appreciated include shooter, simulation, action-adventure, sports, strategy, MOBA, and casino games. Of course, it all depends on personal preferences because there is no such thing as a game or product that everybody likes.

Besides game genres, choosing a compatible device for the products you enjoy is also essential. Nowadays, gaming PCs and laptops are available for those who use them primarily for this activity, yet they are not easily available for everyone.

That’s because they’re often pricey, require many accessories to match their destination, and not everybody can choose their laptop based only on their passion. Some may have to choose depending on their profession as well.

If you have a non-gaming PC but want to try out some games, rest assured that you can choose many options. 

Here are some demo games you can try out for free using a non-gaming PC:

Diner Dash

Diner Dash is not a new game on the market, yet it has attracted generations of players of all ages. Diner Dash is a simulation game that has been around for years, and it still is an excellent way to spend your free time, especially if you are into simulation and management games.

There are multiple game versions, from the classic Diner Dash to versions like Diner Dash 2, Flo on the Go, and Cooking Dash. What you have to do is very simple: you’ll be Flo, the sole manager of a restaurant, who is in charge of attending to customers, from taking and delivering food orders to cleaning tables.

You can find Diner Dash on different websites, from Steam to Shockwave, where you can download a free trial or buy the full product. The good news is that you certainly won’t need a gaming PC to play Diner Dash.

Mystery games

Mystery games perfectly match those who love thrillers or horror movies. They imply different settings and stories, but the common goal is finding the clues needed to solve the mystery.

You don’t need a gaming PC or laptop to play most mystery games, and the good news is that you’ll find many options for free, either online, in demo versions, or on game platforms.

For example, you can access mystery games on Steam like The Room or Agatha Christie – The ABC Murders, a game inspired by the popular novel of the British author.

Online slots

Real money online slots are part of the vast majority of casino games, and many players like them because they are easy to play and most often include amazing visuals. You can find online demos for the most popular slot games; that way, you can see if you enjoy the gameplay and visuals and if you’d like to play more.

What is particularly remarkable about online slot games is that if you go for reputable online casinos, you can earn lots of rewards, like new entries on free spins games, no-deposit bonuses, or VIP rewards.  

Fortnite  

Fortnite is a free game that took over the internet and became a sensation all over the world. It is a royal battle game, meaning it has a little bit of everything, from shooter to action, adventure, and simulation elements.

You can play Fortnite even if you don’t own a gaming PC, and if you are into creative and entertaining games, you’ll definitely enjoy it.    

Conclusive thoughts

Gaming is one of the most entertaining activities you can do from your PC or laptop without leaving your home’s comfort. The good news is that nowadays, you don’t necessarily need a gaming laptop or PC to play nice games. There are many gaming options that match work PCs or just PCs with basic features, from mystery games to casino titles.
