Curling

[udallcustombikes]

I must say that I have become fasinated by curling. Watching the sport in the Olympics makes me want to find some place to go out and play.

The best place would be a large piece of ice!! :wink:

Us Brits are doing ok in the 'flat rock slide'. Come on you Scots!!

An ice rink I can find. It's the $3000-4000 for a set of curling stones that is putting me off.

 

[alan67]

How much?

Imagine the bikes you could buy with that!!

Although they don't glide down the ice as well. :wink:

 

[udallcustombikes]

That's why build bikes instead of curling.

 

[alan67]

stick with what you know, thats what I always say!

Anyway,you would only end up getting bored and try and drill holes through the middles for an axle! :wink:

You'd have to run 'Tubs' too,as Clinchers would just roll off the shiny stone!!

I'll shut up now. :wink:

I was thinking curling looks kinda cool and the Russian girls are just plain hot. They say that after a curling match that all the curlers go to the bar and have drinks, i think i could get into that

The RRB Curlers. Count me in on the team.

Drinkin beer AND curling sounds like much more fun!!

Not just any rink, it's a curling rink. We have one in the other side of the Cape in Falmouth. It's about a 45 minute drive on a good day. I was not aware the stones were pricey. I can get stoned for a lot less :shock:
Maybe if we were clever we could have our own RRB Curling using small platforms on caster wheels where you would place a team member on and send him down where they would bump into others while holding a mug of beer. On contact with others they would say " Cheers mate " and curl there beer to their mouth. After an hour of this one member from each team would then decide the winner by playing Rock Scissors Paper, the best 2 out of 3 and then if there's time go to a bar. Oh yeah, now that's Curling.

GL :lol:

Grand Forks ND had the championships while I lived there a few years ago. I was always on shift so I didn't get to go. It must be more exciting seeing it in person.

 

[deorman]

Frosty mug curling! All you need is a fridge and a bar. :wink:

I'm going to have to check into these stones. For $3000, I might have to get out my diamond grinders and make a couple. Gary
