WHere can i order a block of ice? (for sledding)

[TallBill]

Um... some friends wanna get some blocks of ice to sled on... like.. you sit on an ice block, and ride it down the hill... anyone have ANY clue where the frick i can get ahold of some of these in the chicago area?

How big a block do you need?

Around here many places that sell crushed ice also have blocks, but they're not all that big... I know I couldn't fit on one.

um.. i've seen one on tv on jackass i think... they were about 2 cubic feet of ice...

 

[Murpheeee]

How about HERE

 

[FrustratedUser]

Make your own in the freezer.


Seen that on jackass too... ohh those guys. Do they get paid to f#¤ck things up!

 

[TallBill]

lol, i dont think i have the freezer capacity to make a bunch of ice blocks

 

[TurboQuattro]

Well, normally I would say come up here to Buffalo....but we haven't had any below freezing weather yet this year! Fing amazing...my skiis are collecting dust.

 

[FrustratedUser]

I might be wrong but...

1. Make a lot of small cubes for drinks
2. Mix with ice-cold water
3. Add salt (un-known quantity)

Heard it somewhere, the salt should make it freeze.
LOL

 

[Looney]

Riding a block of ice down a hill? Do you guys really lack leisure activities or something?

 

[loup garou]

Look up "Manufactured Ice" in your yellowpages. We usually get those blocks for ice-shots at a party...you carve a path down the block, put the block on an angle, and pour liquor down them to a waiting mouth.

PayPal me the postage, and I will mail you some genuine Alaskan ice! I can also send you some free snow, too, but the Lemon variety costs extra.

 

[vi edit]

I pitty your testicles.

Salt lowers the freezing temp, thus keeping things from freezing. That's why they salt roads during the winter (to keep ice from forming).

Stupid me.
Then something else should be added. I know I've seen it somewhere.

 

[TallBill]

btw, you cover up the top of the ice with clothe of whatever sort to help the freezing of your stuff ... helps for a bit.... feels good afterwords... plus you can have someone help "warm you up"

I pitty your testicles.
your boys actually like it cold. your swimmers will be doing laps in there!

 

[McPhreak]

I know for a fact that some grocery markets sell ice in blocks. Although they're not huge, they are large enough to sled on.

I second that suggestion that you cover the top of the block with a towel or something because it starts getting a little messy when the ice begins to melt.

There is a difference between keeping them cool, and sitting on a block of ice

Also...there's the little thing(pun intended) called shrinkage :Q

 

[TallBill]

stack of dimes!

 

[FrustratedUser]

Get some 'dry-ice' or Liquid Nitrogen.

Probably harder to get than ice-blocks but this works for sure.
LMAO

 

[CJZ]

Be careful. My friend dislocated his shoulder doing this.

Ice blocking is so cool. Its fun doing it on golf courses with big hills. Hey, there isn't much else to do in Hawaii. We used to get blocks at Cheveron, although it was right near the harbor. We got them about 18 inches long, by 12 wide, by 8 high. Oh yeah, let the good times slide on, heh.
