I shot these videos this morning, the first is of me sledding from my house to my buddy's place, riding on the street and a little bit of trail. Due to one comment by someone being a jackass already I'm gonna point out that none of this is meant to be extreme or anything of the sort.

You can see where I had my track spinning before I went to get my video camera, the scratch lines in the ice. Then I have a video of my buddy skating down main street, then a short video of me dragging him behind my sled in a snow-shovel. Once again, nothing extreme, I wasn't trying to kill him. It was just funny.

Skating:


Snow-Shovel:


Might as well have some fun with this lousy weather...

Nice,it looks like good fun. I laughed hard when I first saw your second video of the guy ice skating down the street. I Kept thinking he was going to hit some bare concrete and fall.

That is defiantly cool that he could skate down the road. But i bet it was dangerous for vehicles. hey Polaris-Man do they treat the roads where you live

Erick suggested I send those videos into the news channel, so I did and sure enough the one of him skating down the street was just on, twice. It's awesome, my buddy is texting me now "my phone won't stop ringing".

Hahahaha

Not sure how thick it was, I know my studs on my sled wouldn't bite all the way to the concrete, my guess would be about 1/4" or a touch more.

Rain-wise, we got a lot, it's still drizzling, we're probably close to half an inch today.
