this is tell me. his silly. russian but tommy is a real finn who lives in finland. his name is. both of them. tonight told me he's heading for russia to take part in the european ice speedway championship. not many people know about this on the usual sports but motorcycle racing on ice is tommy's true passion. officially the nordic countries are considered the birthplace of ice racing but it quickly caught on in russia. speedway is beautiful expensive and

very dangerous on top of that race's take place in extremely low temperatures which doesn't exactly help with promoting the school. choice races are often compared to . them by often seem to be treading a fine line between life and death when they're on the race track. have. gone on the. track have a draw i sailed. with god. now we're going to. home. before the trip takes his youngest son to ice hockey practice. this really is a popular sport. kristoff

is one of the best ice speedway races in russia but only a few people actually mill about it this is not a sport that promises glory or riches. medic's competing in the european championship too but he still has 2 days to practice he could go to a neighboring city and practice in a stadium but he's decided that it's easier to make his own track on a lake just a couple of kilometers from his garage. is ethics for and. then you can set up a track on a lake with friends. to shoot visitors i never should see. the shoot the author for sure you should meet with. the snow needs to be cleared from the lake to expose the cleanest belief do you need to attract. the big problem is that people are scared of losing their vehicles in the water.

seemed to have convinced one of his tractor weighs 9 turns. and the ice has to be at least 60 centimeters thick to stop the tractor falling through it. the ice seems to be strong enough. but when the tractor gets on the lake the ice starts to creak. reluctant to go any further the tractor driver terms and drives away. outside on the inside and.

these are both these are. all. reminiscent of a night soma. used to police. say . there are plenty of ways to get injured in speedway. is a brand new. readers friend. for the tires. dedicated mechanics to.

spend as much time with politics as they do with their families. for the biggest. when races collide the studs on the can often contre right through their protective gear. these gimmicks these these. these bikes. brakes. they intend to convert this old lever into a snow plow tractor like this would be light enough to be sure it won't fall through the ice. the idea is simple enough just replace the front bumper with

a snow push. view of the roof. if you. could see it. did it. only evolve and it take care of any confidence at all that the need for plan will work. best with. multiple that position on me. that's. the improvised snow plough is ready. already is my 1st time. might as. well call the 9.

last winter. but there are. always many many times. and 2 of his mechanic friends take their time packing for the trip to russia me. it's 2300 kilometers from tampa to be out skipper yani if they want to be on time to qualify on the day after tomorrow they'll have to drive for a solid 30 hours. to make that happen the guys are definitely going to need a coffee maker. by the way. 300-0000 mites. we need. it already but the goal is need to clear away some slow. back of the lake

that's what they start to do. when they begin by testing the snow. while the rail tracks it was too heavy for the like this one isn't heavy enough for the slow. it's not working because the snow keeps getting stuck. but i don't. think it used to give. up on you.

to stop the wheels slipping as much. finally complete without stopping. off at that 1st thing to start going. the. nothing could stop. the least of sponsored them from the highway for the. the problem is that with no papers for the neiva legally it's not even to. phone the other. offices leave them to it.

when the truck is ready. so. stop. using ships trick to finally manage to turn the lake into a trick. for

about 24 hours. meanwhile is trying to fix his tuning technique the motorcycle can reach 140. principally takes to. the top of the show but the result in spinal compression fractures. 20 years of speedway racing has become 5 centimeters shorter. from finland will reach the coliseum. envious carefully on me.

some people would associate optimism with risky behavior because they don't want to invite the trolls they don't want to invite the state they don't want to invite to see out mob they don't want to invite all kinds of trouble that comes with optimistic sync drug history optimists have been punished it could be galileo it could be copernicus it could be einstein it could be all sorts of be steve jobs and they were punished for their optimism but now there is no punishment for relentless optimism. seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape out these days become educated and in gains from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

americans. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is for.

the european championship is always hosted by the country of the title holder. of the last 22 championships. held and russia.

is way before a race that should be no less than 100 kilograms. scrutineers then examine it closely to ensure it complies with the rules for example. under a specific size requirements governing to. make sure. the mechanics check the safety. net. from the czech republic.

than anyone else. this is my mechanic my dead. body will he still. be going to cut it off is the leading contender for the 1st place. and exchanges a good to. see this is where the truth. is he. going to go see. him some of the way well the point from which he will.

do a 16 races in the championship and another 2 in reserve the competition runs for 2 days with $24.00 heats per day. the races build up to schools through each of the. 3 points for 1st place 2 points the 2nd one but nothing. so racist simply needs to have the most points. there's no secret to winning in speedway the tactics are simple. last year but if you meet in speech which is just so good he's got one. of. the muscles that you. should be able. to collect and. let you know if. you

let him and you know we're going to let you use a says to me and. i've got. i must go immediately when the rates go up because i'm broke. my. eyes be very. told me is at the bottom of the table.

up and i don't know it's every time it's written sometimes one writer can write and sometimes i know right. so it's good i think the russians will be the rates are. going to enjoy myself but. i'm. going down and down the stairs and my breasts stay behind. making. me. look at it that yes i think that. would be. the best bet if they need it but. the princess. and. i don't dive. into chad's.

job. because i don't. want to kill bots i. but but the search for the no i have 4 boys. because. all the riders. from this area and i'm only. this so so difficult because. we'd sold by. then you are. very professorial. feasting between gladiator battles is another ancient tradition. but it.

was one. of the tragedy is that if the races really did fill legless is would be no racing tomorrow. so. themselves to be allowed to enjoy the spectacle. that i didn't think was just a little misty it was divided up yet the couples could see snow play it he didn't do it do you think they do. see it. that he or she will. believe it. just a little bit. well that really was a passionate ode to speedway. just.

it's too. last beat. this is read by. one of his opponents. and even though tommy has nothing to gain. the leaders which means every single point is really important to him. but it. raises his flag to stuff tommy takes off prematurely. that gets him disqualified. from russia takes his place and that doesn't bode well for. 3 points

from racing against weaker opponents. but the russian is stronger meaning that only takes 2 points away instead of 3. that. day but who knows that. that's a real sporting drama. i

think. we did somebody trouble that's just a joke to. tell you just told. you that it is it was the good of the book with what you superficially going to do for new when you cool the would be to see mike lynch.

the final heat. russian races top the rankings on points and a dick is in 2nd place young but also he is in 4th but still has a chance to take 2nd door stood. 2 races full on the turn. and. the chick is the only one still going and he's happily convinced that he's going to take home a medal it's not always that simple. but he never.

did it. but none of the drama concerns tommy us to go back to work tomorrow he's come to collect his rosemary says that. the system. is due took a bit because there are good and you know. i don't know your speed is right or booze is there any of it. he was 60 years old i think so. i have. i don't know. when i go to draco and i fear i not fear cool then i. so the underdog didn't prevail this time. tommy's breakaway

start did influence the final championship podium make up. russian races of the overall victory. but addict comes in 2nd.

it will be very difficult to get the year is about it and indeed during 2020 change was the norm and all molecules elusive plenty of reflection on what has been. the focus should be on what made her return. an entire village in alaska has had to move if another country trying to wipe out an american. we do everything our part. wanted. well climate change is the same threat right now alaska some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world we lost about 30 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. is fast and that

means the river is 35 closer to the house than was or i think were part of the 1st for. elderly forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about artificial intelligence at that point only a c. is great. everyone of them shia. areas shopping with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. the robot must protect its own existence was next.
