Title: Videos to get you excited about the upcoming season!
Post by: Geoff Sobering on November 09, 2015, 06:18:05 PM
Let's build some excitement in advance of "first ice"!

Post any exciting video links you know of to get people in the mood for some iceboating.

Here are a couple of mine from last year:

January 1 on Lake Kegonsa, "scary fast" ice:

Geoff,

Slightly off topic, but those didn't look like conventional pyramid marks as the whizzed by in that video.  Do you have any standing-still photos, if they were indeed something different?

Yes, those the the Four-Lake Club marks. They are roughly cylindrical with a center support post.

I've attached three frame-grabs from the video. Not great quality photos, but I think you can see the construction.

Cheers,

Geoff,

Thank you.  Back to the days of brace and bit!  (Nothing wrong with that)
