Wow, this looks fun! Was this on a lake?

I don't think we could do this here. We ahve a wide river but its probably covered in 2 feet of snow.

[GeneticBlend]

Yep, lots of fun. This was on a bay.

[MapexRG]

wow look at that horizon. Looks like you had fun. What software do you use to edit your vids?

Will

[GeneticBlend]

Thanks! Final Cut Pro.

[MapexRG]

one. do you use a mac?

two. is it true that in order to use final cut pro u need to buy this helabon expensive chip or it won't work?

thee. I got a macbook pro would final cut pro work on it?

thanks

[GeneticBlend]

1. yes

2. Don't think so because...

3. it should work on you MBP as long as you have enough free space on it.

If you have an older macbook pro you can try Final Cut HD. It's an easier version and unless you're doing video production professionally, you may not need FCP.

@btgyachtdesign why don't you measure the surface area of the blades and do the math to figure it out yourself because ive seen your comment on like 10 vids

I know that it might sound a little strange in this context, but as I am designing custom iceboat I need to find out the answer to the question: What is the drag in Newtons of tha ice boat's 3 skids when sailing 60 km/h? Even rough estimation will help me ;) Well it is said that this drag is very low, and hence iceboats are very fast but I need numbers, numbers, numbers! Thanks for any help

This is wild....seen nothing like this in Northen Lower Michigan!

Thanx for the post!

[nHisImage]

Didn't even know that existed. Probably because I'm black and...you know...we don't do cold...or precipitation.

[FlowingGeisha]

My local lake wouldn't freeze that hard.

[jantheempress]

Cool! No pun intended LOL

[normspace]

Nicely done Joe!

[UtubeFreshman]

What's the gas mileage on one of those things?

Jus kidding!
