There was a doco about it on Discovery channel once. Racing bikes on ice in Sweden. The tyres have very sharp spikes on them which can go through your boots and grind your feet easily.

The gear they wear to prevent that from happening was pretty old school type though. All two stroke bikes. Very different riding style to keep them going, insane lines and cornering style aye. Looked good fun though. Some mad lean angles as well.

I have no idea how they know where the track is... its all white! :blink:

Having tried a raceattack on gravel... hell yeah, it would be massive fun, you soon get used to having it sliding all over the place.

Sounds like a lot of fun... but like a lot of fun it sounds rather dangerous as well.

I know they've been doing speedway on ice for years and years - same as with the dirt tracks just add spiked tires. And I must say some of the accidents that have happened have been spectacular.

Let's see if we can rent a rink for a night and then take our bikes out ;) I don't think we should brief the manager on our plans though.

At the end of the video, the next one to watch displayed in the page was entitled:
"ice bikes wipeout"

No surprise there.

[steveb64]

My thought was that if you lose it, you're sure gonna slide a looong way...
