Toughest Race on Earth: Iditarod, 10/14 @ 10 PM on Discovery

[sabojn]

Born to run!!!!

[cbvrocks]

i read akiak

[1hotsummernight]

I can not wait for my chance to do this!

[xenix146]

im seing this cause in my school im taking...english cash and we are reading the book"Akiak in the iditarod race"

[Giliako]

there are some unethical people out there who miss treat their teams but I've followed the race since I was 12 and most ranches, teams, sponsors and the race crew promote proper and ethical handling. I started out researching miss treatment of the animals and have become a complete fan of the sport. Thank goodness for the interwebs and my ability to see so much of it online until I can really be there in person. fight the abusers not the sport.

[ThePeyton2000]

i am doing a project on the iditarod and the coolist part i am in alaska

[Guitargirl2842]

@ThePeyton2000 I am too, only I'm not in Alaska. and hey, we even hav the same name, now that is awesome!

[calgard1]

[Bradford1332]

@finnishgamer84 Oh fuck yeah, XD

[Baileeturbo]

they were born to do this so go suck a cock

[bobandfredpuppet]

People who think this is cruel...go fuck yourselves.

[Hedroes]

Alaska: a Fresh Start! :)

[ttttiiiittttoooo]

Animal cruelty, you have no idea what you are talking about, you dont understand what those dogs are capable of doing dont compair them to your lazy ass. Lance Armstrongs VO2 was at his peak 85 and he did what no other man could, now a Sleddogs in his peak is 200 and he is doing what no other animal on earth can do, so quit whining like girls

[TheSilverSting]

@ttttiiiittttoooo No there are some dogs that just love to run and some people in the race treat them like family before they would even join the race

[boardincanada]

well my dad is gerard watson and hes a sprinkler fitter so you should shut the fuck up too!!!!

[mmcd87]

my dad is Wattie McDonald and he's doing the iditarod as we speak. Its ok for you little shits to hide behind your computer screens and criticise everything but what my dad is doing is an amazing achievement so Shut the fuck up!

[OntarioUrbanMusher]

@mmcd87 hell ya

[Bandajerez1]

this iditarod thing is starting to get annoying its all we do now in school we arnt learning anything except for this in reading its some iditarod book lang arts writng letter to mushers, math iditarod math, history learning about alaska, science stalking our mushers on the internet on iditarod . com.... man thats a lil too much

[boardincanada]

obviuosly your a fucking loser urban musher some city fag trying to be survivorman my favorite sport is snow boarding and i at least went for 5 years 10-20x a year but i  actually admitt that without a chiarlift snowboarding is piontless sport with no real merit so is dog sleding you can't depend on animals or machines to make up for your own shortcomings it just makes you a weak person. dogsledders must suffer from what people call little man syndrome..

[OntarioUrbanMusher]

i love how you didnt even have the balls to reply to that and urban mushing doesnt always mean your in a city it means to use a bike or scooter instead of a traditional Sled. everything else you said came from your ass because it all means SHIT and what you said contridicts itself idiot and its not about using the animals for your own gain its to keep them happy and to keep traditions alive."Little man syndrome" ya okay Bud!

[OntarioUrbanMusher]

look at my videos does it look like im in the city? fucking idiot go talk out your ass some more

[OntarioUrbanMusher]

This race is about remembering the hardships man and Dog endured together for survival and to keep a rare and beutiful tradition alive Mushers work just as much as these dogs do they constantly kick/run with the sled and use poles to maintain speeds& help teams uphill and to maintain body heat people just see these dogs run and think its cruel THIS IS WHAT THEY LOVE TO DO you cant make a animal run that doesnt want too and for cruelty mushers love there dogs more then anything in the world

[OntarioUrbanMusher]

there is always bad seeds in the world you can let a few assholes reflect on an entire lifestyle these dogs eat meat the mushers beans and rice get facts straight people before you talk shit about the iditarod and Mushing/Mushers.they call it the last Great race because if it failed the Sled dog may have been lost forever RIP Joe Red SR

[OntarioUrbanMusher]

i dont think people understand what this race is REALLY about

[omgrapist]

get a real hobby, so fucking lame. what do you like to do? oh, i sit in a sleigh.

[OntarioUrbanMusher]

you obvously never been

[Noizebazille]

@omgrapist

You, sir, fail hard.

What do you like to do? Oh, I fart in my computerchair while trolling people on youtube.

Nice one, faggot.

[omgrapist]

you probably dont even ride sleigh dogs, why are you so butthurt? oh, cause you just got fucked in the ass.

[Noizebazille]

@omgrapist

No, I don't ride sleigh dogs, because that would be animal cruelty and I don't play that game.

But if you want to check out what me and my brother do, head over to Baldorin84's Channel, and look up his videos.

You could have tought over a better comeback then that, though.

[yiblon]

Coldest race maybe, toughest ? nowhere near. The dogs do all the work !

[Musher1993]

@yiblon

hahahah, maybe you should try then.

not tough? idiot !!

you know nothing about iditarod, so just shut up

[boardincanada]

LARGELY A MENTAL GAME!!! Are YOU retarded a stupid piontless race so some fat ugly lazy jackass's can work a bunch of dogs to death maybe dogsleding had merit before an invention called a fucking snowmobile is that even a sport and for what why don't I strap up this prick, gain 100 lbs, get real ugly and lazy and force him to carry me 300 miles for a god damn ribbon!!!!! ...fucking ridiculous

[MrAnimeFreak777]

lol the dogs arent as strong as they used to be back in the day. They weren't beaten and aren't as strong as dogs inthe past

[KB1PTH]

[tderossett]

The Best Stuff Is In ALASKA.

[Dguo]

lmao. if you dont think this is hard dont spread ur BS to others...

[gmcryder]

it isnt hard. it is for wussys tho like you haha

[Dguo]

haha...your hilarioooous......make sense when you talk please?

[wonderfulskirt]

poor dogs, they have to drag around wankers.

and in these shows they are overreacting. "stressed out, its killing me". whats so stressful when dogs do all the walking instead of you? lazy wankers should drag the sled by themselves. in deadliest catch they yell at each other for every single thing. they'll do anything to get more viewers and earn more money, even making a fuss out of nothing. idiots. they dont know what to film anymore, so they have to be more dramatic.

[youpube1011]

...quit using the word wankers it makes you sound like a dumbass. And second I have owned many Siberian Husky's and Malamutes. They love running, they love pulling and they will tell you when their tired. They have a great passion for running in the cold snow and ice. When they the dogs get tired they wont keep running they'll just sit right down and wont move. So please quit acting like you know what your talking about.

[napolitano28]

shut up pussy

[bingo113]

Hey dont make out that this is cruel, the dogs love doing it! I went to Alaska last year and went to a husky ranch, the dogs that dont get to pull the sled howl because they are jealous of the ones doing it!

[Ratamaswiss]

I agree. I've been on a few dog sleds and they just love to pull. The dogs are bred to pull, handle the cold and if you let them, would continue to pull to exhaustion and even death. They are unbelievably fit athletes and the Iditarod would be the equivalent of a human running 40 marathons back to back. The dogs are the real story of the Iditarod....Go doggies!!

[solexgirl12]

What's so stressful? How about being out on the trail for upwards of 10 days in brutal temperatures, running on the dog's schedule and getting about 2-4 hours of sleep a day, keeping an eye on each of your dogs and noting their spirits, appetites, and anywhere they may feel a bit sore, and all the while trying to keep half an eye on your closest competitor while switching strategies on the fly. Discovery played up the harsh environment, but it's largely a mental game :)

[crysisboxman]

Silly nigger!

[reformedman]

PETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[A7XDudeDrums]

People Eating Tasty Animals...?

(Quote from Garfield on Triple M)

[zaheraldik]

Sounds awesome

[MMABJJ1987]

I dont think this is as hard as 'RAAM'

[mikemouse62]

huskies don thave the stamina of an inuit sled dog andthe harness is different

[vuk3006]

Inuit sled dog, is it the malamute you mean? I've read they were very popular in the old days. Not speed, but stamina. Very trustworthy.

[youpube1011]

huskies have stamina wtf are you talking about. Yes a malamute has more but huskies are good lead dogs. With a team with all malamutes the sled really wont be able to maneuver and make sharp turns etc etc.

[victorsvensson]

That's not hell, it's heaven!

[cec20500]

does anyone know when this is going to air in the UK?

Everyone is really excited about this show (especially since one of our friends is entering the Iditarod in 2010) but there is nothing about when we will get to see it.

[makegood]

evidently there is a shot of Sarah Palin in the opening of this show in the rough cut... she was at the start of the race this year. not sure if it made it in.

[Huckersbee]

Wow!

[CrimsonDawn10]

you're an idiot...

[CrimsonDawn10]

agreeing with Codababy

[Codababy]

Mikidvesen is an idiot.

[RifSamah]

the toughest race is... DEATH RACE!!!

[blankety345]

Why is this called the toughest race on earth? You have dogs pulling you...really

Now, why dont these people pull a bunch of dogs, then you can dub this the toughest race.

[Mikidvesen]

1,150 miles in freezing temperatures, yes thats fucking easy man. You can't let the dogs drag you all the time, have to run and walk a lot of the way, plus the dog's get crazy all the time and either attack you, or each other, then you have to kill them pretty quickly to establish dominance, if you don't these dogs will all attack you. So this might actually be fun to watch.

[AOKONE]

What the h... are you talking about???? kiling dogs who attacks you???? your insane...

[halofan56]

no he means not to harm but to assert dominance ... like your boss at work with you

[RobMugabe]

have you ever met a hunky / malamute / alaskan huskan. Probably the friendliest dogs on earth. Once you have dominance, the dogs will hardly ever try to overpower you. And if the dog get 'crazy' just take the dog by the scruff, put it on its back and wait for for it to submit.

[RobMugabe]

soz about kak spelling

[mclovinlotsapussy]

ya but if there being pushed to there limits in crap conditions they can snap

[tecna64]

i have a husky, their the best dog friends you can imagine!

always playfull and allways lays next to me when i sleep or on my back lol

[kkevinC]

ALASKA FTW

[WTFROFLmontage]

yhat video sucs bals

[bandito224]

NIPPLES!!!!!!!!

[sagem14]

i agree

[greenleaf81]

what does Iditarod mean?

[pleasenjoi93]

Its just the name of the race.

[sagem14]

gay

[alaskansnowangel]

The name has several meanings:

Iditarod means clear water and was named by the Shageluk Indians for the Iditarod River.

The word comes from the Ingalik Indian word HaIditarod which was the name for the river on which the town was built. It means distant place.

The name Iditarod came from an Ingalik and Holikachuk word hidedhod for the Iditarod River. This name means distant or distant place. This word is still known by elders in the villages of Shageluk, Anvik, Grayling and Holy Cross.

[OntarioUrbanMusher]

finaly someone who isnt a complete dumbass posting!

[Corndog819]

looks great.

[pleasenjoi93]

Man, those cameramen for Discovery always get screwed over, first Deadliest Catch then this.

[wowpaladin10]

LOL yes they do

[cowesett39]

DC Person: "Bob, you're going to stand all night on the slippery deck of a crabbing boat in 30 foot waves and sub-freezing temperatures. When that's over you'll go ashore to cover the Iditarod."

Bob: "Aww, man, I knew I should have taken that job with the Food Network!"

[GoGoserGo]
