You and Swedwoods both inspired this Aussie guy to travel all the way from Melbourne to Gällivare Sweden for the sole purpose of hiking in Muddus National Park two months ago.. Seeing this video reminds me of why I need to go back in the wintertime...
Like any skill, the risk management steps for ice skating is something that can be learned. Erik tested the ice thickness with the pole stabs at the beginning, and perhaps in other ways this video doesn't record. I've just been learning how to do this this year. 10 cm is a very safe thickness. Not that that would stop me from feeling freaked out!
What stunningly beautiful scenery. There is little that is more spectacular than conifers laden with snow. And the sound of those skates blades on ice bring back childhood memories of being the first and solo on the neighborhood rink after it was flooded. Always love to see your videos and hope you keep them coming. Take care and be well. Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦
How wonderful to see you out skating,Erik! You make it look so smooth and graceful. The textures, shapes and sounds were stunning. The Coffee Holy Moment warmed the icy atmosphere. 👏👏👏👏⛸❄❄❄☕👍
I just loved to watch this with headphones. The sounds of the ice and the raven. I wish we would get those skating conditions soon in Finland too. A beatiful video!! Thx!
Tydligen du gillar mycket skridskoåkning, Erik 😊 Väldigt vacker video. Iskristaller, den klara och fina isen, dess ljud, din skickliga skridskoåkning. Tusen tack, Erik!
Every year, this kind of videos, are the source of full force envy. Hopefully the weather gods be so kind to provide some substantial ice-fun in the Netherlands. (Pray with me. We had our first freezing temperatures last night. ).
Absolutely lovely Erik! I live in a big city, a long way from the country and as winter approaches I long for the days I can get back out into the woods. Your videos always take me there, and I appreciate the calm, peacefulness of your videos. This video reminds me of 20 years ago when I got to live on a lake and one year it froze and we could skate on it. Perfect! Thank you!
How are you today Erik? Cheers! A cold day! That my friend was quite the daring skate! The water/ ice is very clear, and clean, and does not look like it can carry your weight, but vey deceptive thru the camera! Take care! Peace!
Every Winter season you manage to produce something different from the neighborhood containing exquisite scenery of ice and snow, grasses and woodlands frosted and laden with that ice and snow. The opening scene was lovely. Thankyou for a beautiful video Erik. T. 🇭🇲🐞
You have a way with cameras and sound. NICE!! I noticed how a large body of flat ice amplified that crow call in the distance. Those end still pictures where great.
You have ability to capture the freshness of cold winter starting. Beautiful filming with approaches 👍👋 Thank you for relaxing video & sound - Br, Janne
Excellent video. I take my two young daughters lake skating here in Northern California high country when conditions permit usually in autumn. Then snow comes and cover the ice
Took my zandstra skates out for the first time today and they were much tougher to adjust to than I expected. I’m impressed you could put them on standing up! Also, what boots are you using to give enough stability? My bindings are mounted (from a dealer) much further forward on the blades; did you experiment much with that or how did you end up with the bindings so far back? Thanks
Fint med ny is. Som barn var vi ofta ute med pappa å åkte skridskor på sjöar i södra Stockholm. Slutet på 50 talet å början av 60 talet. I dag e jag för feg att ge mej ut på sjöis. Kul å se. 😎🥰🥰
Fantastic video. what is this skating boots called? they are amazing since it can be separated from the body of the boots. I have never seen them in real life.
Спасибо за видео. Небольшое стихотворение для Вас: Разделяй на двоих, свою вечность, Наслаждайтесь воспоминаниями, Текущего времени, дня и ночи, Ведь скоро Бог, позовет на небеса.

👏👏🙌
Oh, wow! That's some dedication! Did Muddus meet your expectations? :)
An equal amount of insanely beautiful and frightfully creepy. That black water looks soooo scary. But the peacefulness of it, oh. So beautiful.
Metaphor for life.
Yes it is and Erik looks so confident and relax skating on it and drinking coffee 😄 is inspiring.

Holy moment on skates
RIP apetor😔💔
This video perfectly captures the magic of wild ice skating.
Is so beauthifull.It reminds me of Apetor and his frozen lakes.
Thanks for the show. From New York. I did that when a little kid
Thank you for a new video. I like your video very much. Its good for my soul
Absolutely stunning! Thanks Erik for taking us along!
This is my absolutely ultimate thing to do when winter arrives to Sweden. Gorgeous video-footage!
Espectacularmente bello ,libre ,relajante .
Hoping your enjoying your current winter .. missing these vids :)
Have never seen that type of ice skate in the US. The bindings are a fantastic idea! (SNS? NNN?) Thank you for posting this.
Thanks. Yes, bindings are Rottefella NNN.
@@erik_normark are those the alpina nnn bc boots?

Peace, solitude and audio perfection. Great work Erik, take care - Chris
That's a dream lake. I would so much love to practice high speed 3 turns on such beautiful place.
Who else drinks coffee during Erik's films. ☕👍
How wonderful to see you out skating,Erik! You make it look so smooth and graceful. The textures, shapes and sounds were stunning. The Coffee Holy Moment warmed the icy atmosphere. 👏👏👏👏⛸❄❄❄☕👍
All I can say is Thank You.
Absolutely fantastic. Old Dutch sounds. Wow, and those ravens!
Skating on natural ice is something special! Thanks
Superb!
peace and calm , winter there , Beautiful Scenery with incredible audio sounds it's does hold all in your heart , from Calgary ,Alberta .Canada 🇨🇦🍁🍁 🍁
Really nice vid!
It reminds me videos from Tor Eckhoff, but without his absurd style of humour. ❤️
Love your videos, especially with stunning views of Nordic skating in the wild
So cool! That looked like fun! I can hear the ravens. What a beautiful setting.
I just loved to watch this with headphones. The sounds of the ice and the raven. I wish we would get those skating conditions soon in Finland too. A beatiful video!! Thx!
I love your films!
RIP Apetor
I could watch this for hours, the serenity it gives. Thank you Erik!
great movie
Wonderful environment! I would skate too, if only I could find this type of blades to fix on my boots. Thanks for sharing.
amazing
Tydligen du gillar mycket skridskoåkning, Erik 😊 Väldigt vacker video. Iskristaller, den klara och fina isen, dess ljud, din skickliga skridskoåkning. Tusen tack, Erik!
Underbart vackert nu med rimfrost och iskristaller överallt, du fångade stämningen och skönheten så bra Erik, exceptionellt ljud också. Tack!
Tack :)
I live for these vids of you skating. 👏👏👏👏
It is a raee occasion when you can get out on frozen water that isn’t covered in snow. I would love to do this in the Boundary Waters.
My deepest envy and admiration as a figure skater (from Germany 😭) 🤍⛸️
Watching while enjoying a cup of joe. 👍
Every year, this kind of videos, are the source of full force envy.
Hopefully the weather gods be so kind to provide some substantial ice-fun in the Netherlands.
(Pray with me. We had our first freezing temperatures last night. ).
did you get any ice skating this season in the Netherlands?
We had several good windows here in south-central AK.
Эрик,ты,как всегда не подражаем!
I’m really jealous, ha!
Skating on a lake like this is the only thing on my bucket list…and if I never make it this video will suffice.
Norway just keeps getting bigger on the map these days.
That shot from 1:02 onwards is so good!
I love these black ice skating videos, especially in the morning with frost, they couldn't be more fresh feelings out there!
For the good time and have a nice day
Thank so much Erik
The video is just a majestic piece of art. Calming and super pleasing to watch ❤
the Nordic skating videos are the best should be a regular feature
that video reminds me winter we had- looks like they gone - good recording and sounds
Great memories of playing hockey in a similar way on the ponds and lakes. I must look into the possibility of getting some Nordic skate. Thanks again.

I'm really excited to get to do this again. I finally live in a region where this is a thing again.
Amazing sound.

This is high on my list of things yet to do in Sweden! When I move there this will be my number one winter exercise, I swear. ☺️
You have a way with cameras and sound. NICE!! I noticed how a large body of flat ice amplified that crow call in the distance. Those end still pictures where great.
Awesome audio and great camera angles!
I loved the landscape and the special perspective & sound of the ice skating. 😊
Hej Erik, 🌄❄️
... En kort trevlig video tack Erik.👍😃🌞
holy moment ☕
This was one of the best videos ever.
Hi , where to buy the blades you were using? Does it fit on any shoe or to buy a specific shoe?
You have ability to capture the freshness of cold winter starting. Beautiful filming with approaches 👍👋 Thank you for relaxing video & sound - Br, Janne
Awesome! Great pictures. Thank You so much.
So amazing! One of my dreams...thank you so much
love the sound of the ice resonating under the weight of the skates.
beautiful... thank you for sharing!
Frosty nature art with good sounds, beautiful.
Excellent video. I take my two young daughters lake skating here in Northern California high country when conditions permit usually in autumn. Then snow comes and cover the ice
Thankful for the great videos. Love the ice skating ones especially. Looking forward to the upcoming winter adventures.
Beautiful, you skate well too.
Winter wonderland.. So relaxing to watch.
Beautiful! I was so looking foreward for the iceskating videos. I like them the most! The sounds are very soothing.
