Instead of sowing in a fishing line, another technique would be to simply melt the tips of the old and new lines and fuse them together, end to end - a process called 'butt fusion'. Since rudder lines are either polyethylene ( ex: dyneema ) or nylon ( paracord ), it should work.

I don’t remember, I bought it from the company that makes the boat. Just contact your boat manufacturer.

Aloha! You're really courageous: setting off alone (?) in what I presume to be really cold water. Love the disciplinarian. Good stroke too. ...Where did you learn outrigger paddling?

Very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing! ...Btw, what is the diameter of the cord for the rudder lines? Note: If you ever do break a steering line midway through the tube, one technique I have heard of is to use a steel wire to guide the fishing line through.

Do you know what grit the coarse and the fine side of the stone are?

I buy from SkateNow LLC, in Salt Lake City Utah www.skatenow.us/

so just flat with a edge not hollow?

I think this is my favorite video on youtube

They’re supposed to be flat I thought??

Do you have any links for suppliers of the jigs and/or stones that you use?

Thank you. it seems unusualy difficult to find decent videos on how to sharpen. I particularly appreciate your qualifications of "this is best for people who want amazing edges" and "this is for just your average nordic skater". This really HELPS me quantify & prioritize. : )

Was that Stein's run?

It was good skiing, even though only 4 trails

oh cool! mind telling us where you got the paddle leash?

Diana...where can I buy this jig?

Diana, I've just happened upon your UA-cam channel after doing a google search for greyhound skijoring (your video from 2011 was one of the first things to come up). As a woman in her late 20's, looking through your channel I see so much of what I aspire to have in my life! Quality time spent with loved ones outside, keeping busy, appreciating nature, and living in the moment. Your content is inspiring, and I'm grateful to have come across it! Wishing you all the best.

Cool, very useful and very nicely demonstrated, thank you!

Thanks you!

What grit do you use?

Thanks, Diana. What type stone are you using and is it water or oil that you're wetting it with?

Thank you! What are your thoughts on using oil?

What goes left, must come right.

Thanks, Diana! Great idea about using a pipe to align the blades on a nordic skate jig. I found it difficult to tighten my nordic skate jig sufficiently so that the blades didn't fall out. My solution was to replace the tightening bolts by ones with a hex head. I can then use a drill to tighten. Much easier!

Diana-an absolutely fantastic video. So well done! Thank you from a newbie Nordic skater.

Thank you for sharing, I have just tried sharpening my Nordic skate for the first time since I purchased them about 20 years ago. How much sharpening should I do to produce any burre? How many back and forth run with the sharpening stone? My blades are very dull . Thank you for helping. I did not use my Nordic skates that often through the years but I kept them in a very good condition. They are very handy this season as travelling is not allowed anymore. I have a nice skating pond not far from home so I use my Nordic skates very often these days.

That was my first Greyhound”Gunner”, who has now passed 😥 He wore boots in real cold weather, and he didn’t like them. I would carry them with me, and if his feet got cold, I would warm his feet in my hands and then put the boots on. He would sulk when I put them on.

August 2018...here I come with my bike, so arrange some good weather, please.

The magnets don't always need to touch in order for proper function

The fellow in the orange jacket... how does he like his blades? Those are the ones I bought to go "Skate the Lake" (that will have to wait till next year since I broke my wrist with the dog attack)!

I enjoyed this video very much, Diana!

Hi Diana!!! Thanks for the video!

They feel freer than a fixed blade. It feels free and smooth. Much more natural feeling than a fixed blade. How does it compare to inline? I am the wrong person to ask. I hate the inline skates. They feel awkward, heavy, and unruly.

nice! I just got mine too, I'm an inline Speed Skates but it'll be also my first time on ice clap Skates so I would like to ask you how does it feel? And is it the same as inline?

I would imagine Gunner could run faster uphill than you can travel downhill ..... even if it's the French Alps! He is a beautiful dog and so relaxed in the trailer. I enjoyed watching this video and thanks for uploading it.

This is so great! I have a 4-year-old greyhound girl with a lot of energy...she loves going on long hikes with me, wondering how she's do skijoring...I've never seen a greyhound do this before :) How much training/prep did your hound need before hooking him up?

Thanks Kev. I actually can't ski as well with poles. Speed skater here. Hate poles! I do have coats which go over his harness, but when he starts to pant, it comes off, and I tie it around you waist. I carry boots as well. This stuff goes on the dog and comes off as needed. What type of dogs are you using ?

Looking good. Thanks for sharing! We usually suggest people go with a set of longer poles, for when your dog starts to slow down there, you can help him out more, but you are a great skier! We also suggest that people put the coat over top of the harness. You might have luck looking for a hound harness, to fit that narrow and deep chest!

Gunner is very cute :)

NIce video! Thanks for sharing! What kind of harness and leashes are you using? I just started teaching my greyhound to pull a scooter. We live in PA, so we don't have enough snow for ski/sled sports much of the year. I want to get her a new harness, but everything seems to fit greyhound differently.

very nice work, diana. i didn't know you were that close to the donkey, though. he told ME to call him "william".

Diana, This is a beautifully made video. Wll done! Moni

magical, with a delightful soundtrack. love it!

I have a Greyhound,and he used to race. People have an issue with that as well. I say, let these dogs do the task they were breed to do. They love it. My dog enjoyed running after the fake rabbit. I've seen his race videos. It's some of the living conditions that are the real issue, and the fate of the dogs after racing. Same with dog sledding. many owners do a great job of caring for their dogs. These dogs love what they do, and 30 of them live in this man's home,comfortably on couches and all.

Oh Shucks ! I can't find any just for fun group here in the North East 1 There is a group in Canada but they are rather serious, and the fun dogs go at the end of the day if itme allows. I don't want to drive up there, and not be able to give Gunner his fun. Can coursing equipment be ordered on line? What is the cost?

I belong to the Alaska Hound Group Association up here, and they do fun runs and competition. I don't get to run Chloe as often as I'd like because the group is based out of Anchorage/Wasilla and that's 350 miles south. We do make it down there for the fun runs a couple times a year, and there'll be competitive coursing up here in Fairbanks at the end of the month, so we'll do that. Also, a friend bought coursing equipment last year, so now we're just trying to find a place to use it.

@simile34 Where do you do your coursing ? I've been wanting to do some with Gunner ,just for fun. I don't want to get into the serious stuff. i just want him to be able to chase a lure. He would love it.

Gunner's a handsome boy, and he looks like he's having a great time. Chloe definitely enjoys getting out and doing stuff with me, and skijoring is a great way to keep her in shape for lure coursing.

This is an awesome training tool haha love it. Dropped a new GoPro edit, check it!

The camera is a GoPro.

I agree great vid.....and also what kind of cam are you using? I just moved to VT so hoping to get a chance to check out all the trails....what a spring....
