They are running a marathon (I believe) on TV. I watched this last year, had told my wife that even if the show itself was rather lame that I was really impressed with what these men did.

There are a few things in life that scar the crap out of me, spiders bigger then my fist, and a rather unnatural fear of heights that I have. But after watching these shows today I think I can toss pulling 20 tons over 3 ft of ice on a list.

I saw that, Looks fun, Id give it a try...

History Channel managed to F it up a TON for me. Horrible editing throughout the entire series really took away a lot of my enjoyment of the show, e.g. using CGI to 'show us' how they tipped the semi back onto its wheels instead of showing us the real thing, not showing anything but a bad set of random shots when there was that collision in the last episode, etc.

Wondering whether I'm going to even bother watching the new series about lumberjacks.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay. I sleep all night and I work all day. :rofl:

It definetly an interesting career. Even though the pay reflects the danger, I am not sure I would do it.

It's sad that those are projected to be the best truckers :argue

I've seen only a few episodes of this show so I cannot comment on it's accuracy. However most of the truckers I did business with were certainly more professional, maintained their trucks properly and drove safely. To me this show was overly dramatized, relied on "trick" camera shots to spice up the reality and mostly did not show truckers in a favorable light.

Yea, I would say more balls and brains and their wallet rules there brain around the time the Ice Road comes along. Don't get me wrong, some of the guys one that show are in all reality, awsome, responsable drivers. I just think that it is a little...ok...a lot over-drammatized, that way it looks a lot more interesting. Plus, I agree that it seems to show a lot of them in a bad light, but I also believe that having the camera there, makes them act out. Like they say, tv brings the worst out of people...

I believe they call it "Jerry Syndrome." :toothless God I miss the heyday of that show.

too funny! haven't thought about that skit in ages.

The old timers that started the ice roads back in the day were awesome. Talk about big balls. The TV show was interesting but I'd rather see more on the pioneers of the ice roads in those old school trucks and equipment, those guys were tough as hell.

Water sucks, it really, really sucks! :rofl:
