Damn... that's cool!!
Although in the first video it looked like the ice was melting, was that water I saw? Or was it just deep snow on the ice?
Then the dude pulls up with no gloves or googles... man I'm just too much of a wimp to enjoy the cold weather stuff like that.
Although in 1979 during a heavy snow storm I took out my 1978 CR250 Honda and blasted around on the streets of Yonkers (a stones throw away from New York City) Some friends and I raced busses and stuff around for few hours. It was a blast but took hours to get the feeling back in my hands and face!!
Just look at how hard the wind is blowing on that second video!! COLD!
