It's time for the long-awaited return of Crashed Ice, the crazy high-adrenaline sport that pits four guys down an icy track with nothing but their skates and their wits to help them out. It's an odd season this year, extended to five events, but with one in December and then a big wait until the next in 2013. Let's make the most of this one then as we welcome back familiar names like the Croxall brothers, Marty Neifnecker, Arttu, and many more. It's cold, it's exciting, it's brilliant, this is Crashed Ice!

    Perhaps you would prefer my starter

    "Vertical partions of loaf bread with a sizzled topping"

    or.

    "Toast."

  • jwcrummett01/12/2012 at 23:02

    Or maybe just a butter cracker.

    There was a running back for Bayolr University today that was running for a touchdown, mid run he pulled his hamstring and still hobbled 35 yards faster than the other team to score the td.

  • Mr C01/12/2012 at 23:05

    "Vertical partions of loaf bread with a sizzled topping"

    on par with jamie oliver's "crispy music bread" :)

    Okay you guys, I want you all to know that I rather be here with you guys instead of going 72 km to the east of my current location (45 minutes away) to be at Crushed Ice in person....

    they're coming back. can you get to that one?

    Quebec City you mean? Quebec City is only 270 km NE of Montreal, which is only 550 km NE of me, so 820 km NE of here..... And they all speak French very poorly.....(according to French French people....)

  • Jordan F102/12/2012 at 00:19

    It is only a 150 foot drop to the bottom, and suppolsly another 150 feet to hit the bottom of the waterfall so what I am told....

    Let's not forget about the whole landing on the knives that you've got on your feet!

    Better the knives on your feet than the boulders at the waterfall's cliff edge.....

  • Jordan F102/12/2012 at 00:20

    There's a nice light show on the track apparently....

  • Lukeh02/12/2012 at 00:27

    I think i understand red bull's lack of time clarity from earlier; they can do whatever they want at any time they want, they don't need a excuse. If anyone questions them, they can just go 'Well did you jump out of space?'

    They only have small armbands on, it's hard to tell the colours.

    nothing

    Someone needs to invent something so that you can pick up video live from a friend in another country

  • Lukeh02/12/2012 at 00:39

    Ouch! Superwoman.

  • Will^02/12/2012 at 00:39

    Kai, try putting proxy.bham.ac.uk and port 8008 into your browser proxy settings

    Sorry Kai but I can't find a stream yet

  • Will^02/12/2012 at 00:44

    Kai, try putting proxy.bham.ac.uk and port 8008 into your browser proxy settings

    That's the proxy for my old uni - for accessing online resources that they hold the licences for ;) and so based certainly in the UK...

  • Kai02/12/2012 at 00:44

    Kai, try putting proxy.bham.ac.uk and port 8008 into your browser proxy settings

    Thanks anyway, I'm not up to messing with it. I appreciate the help though, everyone. I guess the closer events get to me the smaller amount of access I have.

    Have fun.

    100% but I am on the netbook, commenting on PC.

    Might try the iPad but I didn't do that first because I hate the speaker.

    Presumably they join later for the round of 32 or 16. I just installed the app just in case. Annoying that Safari won't play the website feed. 'format not supported by HTML tag'

    I'll just go with this for now.

    You do realise you're going to come home from work one day this winter to a scared Mr C motionless, spinning about on an icy shouting "I'M SKATING!!"?

  • Steven Roy02/12/2012 at 01:01

    I'll take anything!!

    :)

  • Lukeh02/12/2012 at 01:01

    oooh controversy

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 01:02

    No further action from the stewards.

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 01:03

    Kolc we know.

    Kolc I remember him

    No further action from the stewards.

    Stewards can quickly investigate, what is this madness

  • Will^02/12/2012 at 01:03

    You could just be making these names up ;)

    wow, those trousers. eurovisiontastic.

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 01:03

    Those red trousers are worse than the stripes. I'll take Scotty back.

  • Jordan F102/12/2012 at 01:04

    I love those corner wipeouts!

  • Lukeh02/12/2012 at 01:04

    they should ban 2nd for being stuck in the 880s

    It's sponsorship, isn't it, why we've suddenly been reduced to armbands only.

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 01:06

    ouch

    They;re all doing the starts wrong, just slide down the start on your bum, then when you jump over the jump you can land on your skates.

  • Steven Roy02/12/2012 at 01:09

    I don't know if he is, but I like it.

  • Steven Roy02/12/2012 at 01:13

    Ooooh did he get it?

    No. Head doesn't count. It's when the skate crosses the line that counts. Should have gone feet first

  • Steven Roy02/12/2012 at 01:13

    are we still at round of 64?

    Yes

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 01:14

    further proof that my theory of doing it sitting on your bum is the right way to do this track

  • Steven Roy02/12/2012 at 01:15

    It's amazing how little landing on their face slows them down

  • Lukeh02/12/2012 at 01:16

    The ice rink at Tower Park in Poole was a big circle/oval ring, part in the middle had a slope down to a little open rink. That slope was hard to do. And it wasn't that steep really. :)

    Shame they closed it. I think it is a casino now.

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 01:59

    The worst part for me was that I had to hold on to the rail else I'd fall over or thought I would, and the slope to the rink was on the other side of the.. uh.. track thing.. So you had to cross over.

    "Bristol Ice Rink is now closed. We apologise for the the inconvenience."

    Oh.

    Here in Tundraland some of the publicly funded schools have skating rinks, as well as community centres....

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 02:14

    that wasn't a cool mini :(

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 02:14

    He just knocked the camera off his head

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:15

    I've never heard of a confident nervous deer in headlights.

  • Steven Roy02/12/2012 at 02:15

    Wedge just knocked the camera off his head. If Mr C gets a Go Pro Christine is going to have to write rules about head slapping and the like

  • Jordan F102/12/2012 at 02:16

    I've never heard of a confident nervous deer in headlights.

    It only happens when the deer figures out that the hunter forgot to take the safety off the gun....

  • Steven Roy02/12/2012 at 02:17

    First cameraman to go through to the next round

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:18

    Kyle versus Marty.

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:19

    Nooo, substitute Finn went down.

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 02:19

    the chubby geeky guy nearly got through!

  • Jordan F102/12/2012 at 02:19

    Noooo! Fisher dove head first!

  • Steven Roy02/12/2012 at 02:19

    Niefy is like a new (or old) man this year

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 02:20

    loved that one

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 02:21

    up the hill?

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 02:22

    Haha

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:22

    They get a wildcard for the next event! That's so clever.

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 02:22

    This is a brilliant idea. Go the furthest and you can play next time

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 02:23

    so much fun

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:23

    This is amazing!

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 02:23

  • Steven Roy02/12/2012 at 02:23

    Fabulous. I want to see that many people racing down hill

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:24

    Gutted for that light blue chap.

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:25

    ""They look like they enjoyed it."

    No, they really don't.

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:26

    The women are back.

  • Steven Roy02/12/2012 at 02:26

    Another casino next to ice. I thought the only ice connected to casinos was the stuff they put in drinks

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:30

    Wow, what a lead. Vettel-esque.

  • Jordan F102/12/2012 at 02:31

    Well, at least two Canucks will be in the ladies finals....

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 02:31

    Well, at least two Canucks will be in the ladies finals....

    all of them, right?

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:32

    Back to men's semi-finals now. Horst has the camera on his head.

  • Jordan F102/12/2012 at 02:33

    Well, at least two Canucks will be in the ladies finals....

    all of them, right?

    it is that time of day again when "Quebec just separates...." wait around for a few more minutes and they decide to rejoin the country....

  • Jordan F102/12/2012 at 02:34

    Go Horst!

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 02:34

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:36

    I was sure he said earlier that there weren't any US skaters left, and now we have one in the final.

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 02:38

    This'll be a tough semi final.

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 02:39

    Wedge has been good so I'll go for him.

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:39

    Kyle looks a bit nervous.

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 02:39

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 02:41

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:42

    Oh and the small final if they do that still

    The small final isn't on the amazing tree graphic they have, so I was thinking maybe they ditched it.

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 02:59

    Duvet sounds like a fine idea. My nice warming chicken noodles with enough water to make it soup feels like a while ago.

    Great to have this back. :) Cheers for the commenting.

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 02:59

    Ahh, am exhausted. That was totally worth it though. Thanks to everyone :)

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 03:00

    I wasn't listening, but Christmas is.

    what's in three week's time?

    The one in St. Paul's, USA?

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 03:01

    The one in St. Paul's, USA?

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 03:01

    surely it isn't the 23rd of december?

  • Pat W02/12/2012 at 03:01

    commentator said three week's, just wound it back. must've been confused.

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 03:02

    Don't panic, they haven't exactly been on the ball. John Fisher, etc.

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 03:02

    I fell asleep on my laptop at like, 1am :(

    Lightweight. I fell asleep on mie at 2:30. I blame myself for Niefy going out. As long as I was awake he was fine then as soon as I was asleep he went out.

  • Christine02/12/2012 at 11:35

    Dear me, the morning after the Crashed Ice before.

  • Will^02/12/2012 at 12:14

  • Mr C02/12/2012 at 15:05

    so here's the shocking thing. christine, who's usually in bed by 8pm on a school night, managed to stay up until the end.

    you people are hopeless ;)
