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 races take place in extremely low temperatures which doesn't exactly help with promoting the school. ice races are often compared to that ages and i often seem to be treading a fine line between life and death when they're on the race track. i have a horse. and decide on. the. track i have a draw i sail. now we're

going to ice well people. 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 any 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 set up a track on a lake without friends. to shoot visitors are never sure it's easy. to shoot the little. the snow needs to be cleared from the lake to

expose the clear you know it's beneath do you need. the big problem is that people are scared of losing their vehicles in the water. seemed to have convinced. that his tractor weighs 1000000 tons. 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 ice starts to creak. reluctant to go any further the tractor driver drives away. he did.

outside on the inside and. is aboard is. reminiscent of a night soma. used. there

are plenty of ways to get injured in speedway. is a brand new. readers friend. for tires. dedicated mechanics to. they spend as much time with their bikes as they do with their families. who feel. a little used. when races collide the stubs on the tongue as can often punch right through their protective gear. these police these these. these bikes have no brakes. only.

have a plan 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. of the roof look at you. as you move. along. do you. have any confidence at all that the knievel plan will work. with. you. joe.

the improvised snow plough is ready. this is my 1st time. might as. well call it an island. last winter. pushed out. goalies many many times. to have his mechanic friends take their time packing for the trip to russia. it's 2300 kilometers from tampa to be out skip. if they want to be on time to qualify on the day off 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. 3.

000 it's. we need. it's already dark but the guys need to clear away some snow. back at the lake that's what they start to do. when they begin by testing the snow. while the real tracks it was too heavy for the lake this one isn't heavy enough for the slow. it's not working the car can shift the snow keeps getting stuck.

to give. the wheel slipping as much. finally completes a full circle without stopping. first thing. nothing could stop. the least of spotted them from the highway and it looks as though the game is.

the problem is that with no papers for the neiva legally it's not even to. phone the other. offices leave them to it. it's 2 am when the truck is ready. so. i'll stop. using them make shift trip to finally manage to turn the lake into a trick. stop

for about 24 hours. meanwhile is trying to perfect his turning technique the motorcycle can reach 140. to 70 to 80. just a part of the show but can often result in spinal compression fracture his. favorable than 20 years of speedway racing has become 5 centimeters shorter. than the ice. will reach the coliseum in.

americans love. 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 that's 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.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. and then as that approach the bush will. let you have australian vision they. were. going to dump it on the new. study did they go to live to introduce is that she. was but it seems to me.

you need to go to church for this new look like a loser well going to turn you into a pretty chilled good is certainly a choice to be on your boat it will show you such to be able to research on the postal order grow out of the roof through the coke were full and can churn you. point of the beautiful and hear them. we're going. to put so that the new. duran dish to their hair for. gaston jenny. gould. when you're in the water with your the last we're going to see it in your will address dark blue good doesn't it you just with. your pride you will know when you are going in the store usually is.

the european championship is always hosted by the country of the title holder. of the last 22 championships. held in russia. each motorcycle 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 that. the mechanics check the safety. from the czech republic. ship favorites. from.

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 if he does. he. get the money we're all going to see. him some of the way well the point from which he will but. there are 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 for nothing. so a racist simply needs to have the most points so. there's no secret to winning in speedway the tactics are simple. simplicity if you did you mean to be too quick for the stone to just go for. the muscles that you. should be able. to collect and. if. you let them and you know full well they're going to let you use it you will assist me in. i must go immediately when the

rates go up because i'm broke. down or. speed very. quickly. told me is at the bottom of the table. but i don't know it's every time it's written sometime frightening and right and sometimes i know right. so it's good i think the russians will be so great.

for the many injured myself. i'm. going down down the stairs and my breast stayed behind. making. me. look at that yes i did. want to be. the last bill if they need it but. the priest just. i don't dive. into chad's. job. because i don't. want to kill bots. but but

she said for. i have 4 boys. because. all the riders. from this area i'm only. this still so difficult because. the soul by. then you are. there is there broke a story about. feasting between granny a to battles is another ancient tradition. but it. was . the tragedy is that if the races really did fill legless is would be no racing tomorrow. so the

themselves are to be allowed to enjoy the spectacle. of it and think it was still there but that yes the couple could see snow played he didn't do it but you will. see if it did it. will. only. eat us a little bit. well that really was a passionate ode to speedway. and yes.

it's to. last beat. this is read by. one of his opponents. and even though tommy has nothing to gain. which means every single point is really important to him. but it. raises his flag to stuff but tell me takes off prematurely. that gets him disqualified. from russia takes his place but that doesn't bode well. it was 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. now has a real sporting drama. i

think. if we look at somebody trouble that's just a joke to. tell you both told. you that it is it was the going to cook with what you should do official included for the new when you cooled the would be to see my mother in. the final heat. russian races top the rankings on points and it is in 2nd place

young tuttle ski is in full but still has a chance to take 2nd door stood. 2 races full on the turn. that 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 you know. i. have to get. but none of the drama concerns tommy

us to go back to work tomorrow since he's come to collect his road money say see. the system. is due took a week because there are good and you. i don't know your speed is right or booze is there in youth. he was 60 years old i think so. i have. 17 years. yes i don't know. when i go to draco and i fear i not fear cool then i would. so the underdog didn't prevail this time. tommy's breakaway start did influence the final championship podium make up. russian racers of the overall victors but added comes in 2nd.

an entire village in alaska. if another country trying to wipe out an american town . we do everything in our power to protect the. water than skipping climate change is the same threat right now alaska does seem some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world we lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast and means the river is $35.00 closer than how long. was the year for i think we're part of america or 1st from. the world is driven by shaped by those.

who dare use thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
