Thirty-two days until SuperBowl XLII explodes all over Arizona at the 73,000+ University of Phoenix Stadium. Pick a noun, add -GASM to the end and that’s what it’s going to be.

You can see LVHRD member Paul Pope’s rendition of the impending festivities in the upcoming Feb 08 issue of GQ. Here it is now, via his Flickr page.

The second VDO from BIFOLD SPORT in the basement of the New York Table Tennis Foundation.

Motion-capture suits, Design pong: Yahtzee.

Ping Pong pro Wally Green talks about how he got his start swatting the ball on the green floor and shows the crowd how he can make you blow the game any way he wants.

Upnorth designers Steve Green and Justin Kay present their typeface t-shirt designs inspired by everyone from Huey Lewis to Wu-Tang.

BIFOLD SPORT: Wally Green vs. Jon Parker

In case you missed BIFOLD SPORT, here is a video of table tennis pro Wally Green using his cell phone for a paddle in a match against Veer’s Jon Parker.

It might be a parlor trick, but it’s a really good parlor trick.

Worth watching for the trash-talking alone.

Preview the battle of the balls in the first VDO from BIFOLD SPORT.

With help from Veer, we took over the New York Table Tennis Foundation’s underground palace for a night of sport and design with ping pong pro Wally Green, Upnorth designers Justin Kay and Steve Green and 5boro skateboards founder Mark Nardelli.

You can almost feel the spin in these shots, the naked aggression of backhanded volleys over the net. It was all in fun, but something about going mano y mano with a paddle brings out our competitive…

We explored the intersection of sport and design underground at the New York Table Tennis Foundation with 5boro skateboard founder Marc Nardelli, table tennis pro Wally Green, and Justin Kay and Steve Green from Upnorth Graphic Design.

After the presentations we turned up the music, drank some Brooklyn Brewery and played ping pong with our friends. Rad.

BIFOLD SPORT: The Ricochet

Last night LVHRD and Veer welcomed table tennis pro Wally Green, Upnorth graphic designers Steve Green and Justin Kay to the New York Table Tennis Foundation for BIFOLD SPORT.

Hosted by Mark Nardelli, Creative Director of 5boro skateboarding and original NYC skater, we went underground in Chinatown to explore the intersection of sport and design.

When we showed up at the NYTTF the members were still in full-on practice mode: the wicked ricochet of ping pong balls sounding especially explosive reverberating off the low-ceiling.

We filmed the action for a bit, orange plastic balls whizzing…
