Backyard rinks

Recommended Posts

a few years back up in fife (scotland) i went up to my buddies house and the lake froze up. it was phenonemal. we got dropped off at 6.30 am and got picked up at 9pm. we took a packed lunch lol.

the ice was perfect. the lake was so big that each day we moved to a different spot lol.

btw

it was beveridge lake aka bevy lake

one day we had so many players we took the bench off the grass and sat it at the side. we had lines lol, and one guys dad was the ref. we had two goalies also,

one downside

aftwerwards my Vapor 10s were Wrecked!!!

Yeah I really wish the weather here in Omaha wasn't so crappy to make outdoor rinks so worthless. I guess maybe its time to move further north. :P

Oh and guys check the auction again. The current bid is like $9,***, but right beside the bid, it also says "Reserve Not Met" If you actually read the description, you will see that he wants around like $23,***. :blink:

I just got back from my cottage, and we built a 40x20 foot rink in the river next to our boathouse. We flooded it 3 times with a garden hose, and then after about 2 hours we were ready to go.

I had a great time. When we bought the cottage in July I was thinking about a rink in the winter.

:) Sorry i was so excited about it I had to post it ;)

That lake looks SWEET!!!!

I live it the Uk. Its winter at the moment and it only gets to about 4deg Highest. But it rarely ever drops below -2. Is there anyway i would be able to get a ourdoor rink? :huh:

Unless you get machines to freeze the water, then no.

Yeah, we've got one up here in Edinburgh. Although it is nice and all, you can hear the machines going "BRRRRRR!!!" while you're skating. Not really relaxing if you ask me.
