Man, that looks like a pretty unforgiving place to live.
You don't get any do-overs.

IIRC, the world record skip was set in WI.

It looks like fun. In moderate temps where the risk of death is nil. It’s not worth risking one’s life though.

I love the “I can’t believe I just trashed a $5000 machine” look in his face as it sinks. LOL!

The shore start might have worked had he not stood the thing straight up. He was doing fine until then.

My dad was a teacher, and his lower-48 school brought in Inuit and Alaska Native kids for the school year. In one year, the younger of two brothers nearly froze to death, and later, both were killed by a bear. Pretty unforgiving is a truthful statement.

Didn’t they know this is only done over SHALLOW water?
Then, when the snowmobile sinks (and it will), they can stand up and walk back to shore.
And what the heck, they might even get to the other side.
