Look at an amazing recent video from a few skaters in New Zealand: http://chipofftheiceblock.blogspot.com/2011/07/icy-plunge.html The most interesting part is at the end of the video.

Skating started today 3 jan 2010 in Holland I returned from Sweden yesterday 2/1/10 (good skating in Värmland!) and to my surprise I could already skate today 3/1/10 in Holland, because on some undeep lakes and canals the old ice from december still was there. See some isobs on SN. Hollands...

Hej Johan! I returned from Sweden yesterday 2/1/10 (good skating in Värmland!) and to my surprise I could already skate today 3/1/10 in Holland, because on some undeep lakes and canals the old ice from december still was there. See some isobs on SN. So far my hope for 16:de lopp i Friesland...

No skating yet in Holland No real tourskating this weekend (19/12) in Holland. Ice was almost ready, 3 - 4 cm on small canals, but yesterday 10 - 30 cm (!!) snow has come. Very rare in Holland, so much snow. People will be skating, and movies on YouTube will pop up, but only on fields where a...

Some details The few things I know about the film De hel van 63: - the film is called "The hell of 1963" = "Helvetet av 1963" since the Elfstedentocht of 1963 is famous for its very, very bad circumstances. It is considered as the worst tour ever. Only 69 people out of 9294 participants...

Pictures Nice pictures David! Now that all ice on lakes and canals in Holland has disappeared, it is allways nice to see skating pictures of other countries. By the way, no comments on Krister´s and David´s well thought text. We have more than at least seven expressions for tour skating in...

Teknik I don´t think that, in Holland, we optimized our skating teknik due to blankis and rundbanor. I think all optimization has been done only in attempts to be the fastest, no matter if it is for allround speedskating on ovals, or marathons on natural ice. The Elvastadloppet is the most...

Biddinghuizen Jag har åkt med långfärdsskridskor på fötterna på 5 km konstfrusen banan i Biddinghuizen, Holland. Vad heter det?

You have to choose I think some information is on it´s place here. If you come to Holland for skating, you will have to choose between two ways of doing a tour. 1. The first one is about the page you linked to: those are organized tours done by iceclubs from the local villages, with permisson...

Last chance Holland is indeed magic this weekend! The weather forecast talks about warmer weather starting monday evening 12/1/09. I think tomorrow and tuesday will be the last days of good skating in Holland within this cold period. With plusgrader, the ice degenerates faster here than in...

Nederlands Kampioenschap (NK) Translation: The last time the NK was held, is 1996: Bert Verduin was the strongest on 30 december in that year in Ankeveen. Five days later Henk Angenent won the Elfstedentocht. Det finns is, men inte så tjock. Kanske 6 - 8 cm. We have had a strange situation...

Limited time We from Hollands LSK put isobs on Skridskonätet, but now that there is such good ice in Holland, for the first time in 12 years, we are running out of time each day! Last weekend we had 4 guests from our systerföreningen Linköpings LK, and coming weekend we are expecting more than...

Ånnsjön Enligt SLSK forum http://www.gather.to/Default.aspx?id=2628 ligger Ånnsjön! Se rapporten av Rolf Andersson, 6 nov 2008. /Rob.

Ingen sand på isen I can understand that sand on the ice stays in your memory for a long time, because it can be very boring and even dangerous at high speeds. But, please don´t spread the image about "ice in Holland is often sandy", because this is not true. I skate for 36 years in Holland...

Hollands Kanaler Sorry guys, that I couldn´t react sooner. I was in Värmland for the Christmas week (and did very good skating with Valter, tack Valter!). Niklas, thanks for the all the right answers about skating in Holland. The message that we could skate was correct. Se bifogade bilder...

Ankeveen Ja, filmen på YouTube var igår! Men bara 20 - 25 meter långt på en kanal 20cm djup. Jag hoppas att jag kan göra en isobservation på skridsko.net för Ankeveen idag eller imorgon. Kanske "med tvekan åkbar". Vi ska se. /Rob.

Open! Last sunday, 16 december 2007, the track in Biddinghuizen opened. They were very lucky with the weather last week: -1 up to -4 each night, during the day maximum +3. Hollands LSK had the annual meeting on the track and it was very succesful. The track feels very natural, I think they...

Schaatsmuseum I am sorry David but I am not an expert in the history of skates and skating. The only thing I can add is to mention the (famous in Holland) Dutch Skating Museum in Hindeloopen, Friesland. On their website www.schaatsmuseum.nl they promise to have the following things in their...

Opening postponed Last weekend the 5 km track in Biddinghuizen in Holland should have been opened for skating. On friday there were the last tests being done by famous skaters, doing the whole 5 km track, to get the attention of the big newspapers here in Holland. But, in the night from friday...
