Studded tires in PA

Trelleborg carbide studs were the hot stuff for frozen ground and ice. The kold kutters were good for ice racing on frozen lakes. The Carlisle or Kenda tires worked good for ice racing. I have a set of 40 year old ice tires in my basement awaiting my old dirt tracker restoration. Not a good idea to run any studded tires on pavement either way. It's hard on the tires and slicker than greased weasel $hit
 
You guys are my hero's. Be sure to get helmet camera video and post up here for me to watch. I have some VHS video of my ice racing from the early 1990s and late 1980s. Videos are so old now they are cloudy from age(so am i) I'm done with freezing my nuts off and 100mph wind chill. Leave that for you younger fellows. I enjoy your shared stories and pictures. Keep them coming

Nobody is more low tech than me and I learned to own and operate a helmet camera (very poorly) last year. I'm not very proficient but I am very persistent. Keep at it and you will get better with practice. Be sure to post here on the ride report when possible. Be sure to use under visor or chin bar mount helmet mount and not helmet top mount if you ride in the woods. I use under visor mount and still smash branches with camera.
 
That's friggin awesome!!
