Very nice then that everybody is filming the 1 day they have Ice this is probly very old films as for the last 10 years it have been a problem to hold Ice competions outside because there is no Ice thou the name of the country is Iceland it is very rare that it gets really cold here mostly up around Mývatn (north east) in the winter we have from -6°c to+5°c so this isn´t often cold enough to get secure Ice but of course we get Ice in the highlands but there we don´t ride during winter. About the films I think I have to catch up(or back) because the newer films I have seen there is no Ice riding going on. Kvedja Malin
