Build a better/ more fun way to rake leaves, as fall is coming up!
Please build a motorized sled carrier (aka something to drag your sled back up the hill when your too tired to)
A dry ice version!
An updated fire vortex
Any version of a DIY sled that would not melt during hot summers, a re-usable version :)
This really feels like TKOR more than the actual TKOR channel at this point. Keep up the good work.
So true
The only reason I watched was bc of his and calli’s demeanor and humor
as a Canadian who grew up skiing and tobagonning, the whole concept of ice blocking amuses me to no end.
great work
I know right? I'm from Montana and it's the same thing for me. Hahaha
Dude I'm from Georgia and I've never heard of this 😂
I grew up near the sand dunes, so I had the privilege growing up of skiing, tobogganing, iceblock sledding and sand sledding
This seems awesome in the summer when you can't sled
Nate, I'm so happy to see you not involved with TKOR. You, being out on your own, doing what you enjoy, is exciting.
I unsubscribed. How is tkor doing?
@@wordsinahandle haha
Not great. Average video views is under 100k
sad how they ruined tht channel
@@dainbramage3558 they ruined it by firing the bread and butter of the channel, it started to demise after Grant’s death, but Nate and Callie still brought in the views. Once they were fired, Grace’s, lets say young enthusiasm was to much for most.
@@justaddbricks5527 i kindof agree, it definately changed alot after grants passing but i still enjoyed alot of what they were doing with nate and callie but it seemed to me around the time they started bringing in the other people i.e. Grace and the others whos names i dont remember the content seemed to shift alot, i personally dont have a problem with Grace or her presenting style but the actual content really left alot to be desired, then when they got rid of callie and nate that was just too much for me. So glad Nate is still around doing this stuff he is a great guy and i wish him all the best
This is the Random stuff i was/am missing. I'm happy I subbed to you. Love this build!
Never heard of ice blocking, but it looks fun! Sadly I’ve never really seen ice blocks for sale in the UK.
I mean, if you have sufficient space in your freezer you could freeze some water in a box yourself
I've never seen them for sale before and I live in Kentucky.
You can buy ice block molds. It looks a little like a small trash can, but it is more cubic.
Dont fret you can make ur own, get a bread pan and fill it with ice cubes then fill it with water and freeze it with sum on top but wont stick to it and you got a cube right there my friend❤
I never even knew this was a thing. This video reminds me a lot of the early king of random videos glad to see you carry on his legacy.
I feel as although TKOR is a company, Nate and this channel is carrying on the legacy. At this point TKOR the channel is dead. So it is very refreshing to see the level of energy put into these videos, it reminds me a lot of the videos Grant put out. Keep up the good work Nate, I'll be watching.
Today I learned that ice block sledding was a thing, and a way to improve it.
Thank you Nate for my daily dose of randomness (and awesomeness)!
One day you're making a knife, next you're making a sled for a block of ice. Love it
this is the real spirit of what grant used aspire towards. I know that may not be your goal, but you nailed it man.
I had never heard of that. That looks fun! You made a very cool but simple invention. Love your videos!
It's nice to see the engineering behind your work, it's so interesting. It's even cooler to see other iterations of the same thing you did, and eventually getting the final design working well! Must have taken a few attempts to get it working, very cool nevertheless.
Awe bringing back my childhood. Haven't gone ice blocking in probably at least 20 years if not more. May be something to add to my to do list for next year
When I was younger, we used to take a cardboard box and sled down a grassy hill in it. From what I remember it worked well.
I literally only even clicked on this video hoping to see this comment. So many July 4ths spent riding cardboard down the hill at a local park (which happened to also be the best place for viewing the fireworks). Hundreds of families gathered to watch fireworks and slide down the hill on refrigerator boxes and the like. (I guess it was more of an embankment? since it was very very long and ran along the river)
I did not know this is even a thing!!!! It looks so fun!
You might be able to steer better on the ice board one if the back block is thicker then the front block.... So the you can step back a bit to raise the front of the board a bit and turn it then adjust your weight so the front is on the ground again.
Maybe.
Also, Nate; I'm so happy you're doing your own thing and that it isn't only knifes!
Keep building stuff dude.
I'm so happy to see that you're doing what you love even if you are separated from tkor.
This man is a genius
a V2 could have all terrain suspension and a roll cage
😂
the D&D friends are also Summer Sled partying!!!!! AWESOME
I had no idea this was a pastime people did. If I actually had any decent hills around where I live, I'd give this a try. Thanks for sharing, Nate!
I grew up innHouston, TX - a place that almost never had snow. From my birth through the end of high school, we had snow maybe three times, only one of which was more than an inch. Sledding, therefore, wasn’t a thing.
There’s another huge problem, though: Houston is FLAT. The Texas Gulf coast plains are flatter than Kansas. No hills. No slopes (except on the sides of bayous and drainage ditches, neither of which would be a good place to sled).
Except Houston did have one big "hill," at the Miller Outdoor Theater in Hermann Park. The outdoor theater has a big man-made hill into which the seating area is built, with further open grassy areas for seating higher up on the hill. The backside of this hill was a steeper slope with open park space at the base, making it perfect for sledding.
We’d go to a convenience store/icehouse nearby and buy big blocks of ice, just as you described in the video here. We’d sometimes use towels and sometimes use pieces of cardboard (or both) to sit on as we sledged down the hill on 95° summer afternoons in the late 1970s and early 1980s. We’d lug the blocks of ice back up the hill, over and over and over, until we were too exhausted to do it anymore. Your sled would have been great!
Seen a Doppelganger of Nate in my neighborhood the other day driving a black Lincoln SUV. Almost ran after him, but didn't want to leave my beer behind getting warm. Hugs
This reminds me of my childhood. I never went ice blocking but used to grab cardboard boxes and ripped a side off of them and slid down a hill until they fell apart 😂
It looks great and a ton of fun! One suggestion, though: put a couple of stirrups on the front to put your heels in. Then you don't have to worry about having to hold your legs straight out in front of you. Happy ice blocking!
It’s actually pretty easy to make your own ice blocks if you have access to a chest freezer. Use a small igloo cooler - the lid filled with water. Makes nice solid cubes that take a long time to melt.
Haven't seen Nate for awhile and I'm glad he's thriving! Keep up the good work! Sending lots of love, support and good energy to boost this channel!
Very smart idea! Also excellent video, I always love seeing a NFTI vid in the notifications!
So as a teenager in the 90’s I wore loafers or vans. The public library had a hill that was perfect for getting a good run up and skate the entire way down. The flat tread shoes were the best. If the grass was wet you could go an easy 150-200 yards. You had to have good balance or it looked like a cheese rolling race.
this content reminded me of Grant Thompson early videos he made.
So good to see you and your fun ideas again!
I remember my older cousin's and aunt's and uncle's use to do this a lot at the park of house and sugar but if I remember correctly it was banned and everyone quit doing it.
So thank you for bringing this back to life an a few memories
This is the type of content I missed from TKOR, keep up the good work
never heard of ice blocking. sounds fun!
This is 100% like the videos I've been wanting to see since you left TKOR(aint the same these days really). Entirely like the vids you did there, I love it. Actual full explanations and everything, it's great to see.
I'm glad your still posting
We couldn't have that in the UK at the moment. Firstly were having a heatwave and secondly we can't buy ice in blocks like that. 😆👍
Lol my kids just get a plastic sled and ride down the hill at home.
But it’s awesome to see ice used like that for sledding in the summer.
Now I'm curious to see you build a soapbox car (you know, like a go-kart, but without the motor). I guess that's just a sled with wheels and a steering wheel.
I didn’t even know this existed! This is so cool and if I were to try this, I would definitely build you sled. Very cool build!!
I love seeing you guys all just having fun and enjoying life. Been watching u for years. Almost feel like I know ya.
I had no idea this was a thing. I remember seeing this in the moovie barn yard, but thought it was just for laughs and wasn't actually a thing!
I had no idea this was a thing. That looks so much fun!
Greate Video Nate, Hope to see more like this!
Cool Idea! Thanks Nate
I was just thinking about this very project earlier this year! They actually have commercially available ice block sleds.
Yep, all the ones I've seen you need to custom make the ice block in special cases or something. If they sell ice blocks at stores other places like they do here, you can just use those instead of filling your whole freezer with a block of ice.
The snowboard one is pretty sweet. I like that the most
Great job Nate, keep it up!
Nate is The Emperor of Random
Looks so fun!
Finally the Grant Thompson we all wanted
So nice of a build and real life testing! Way to go Nate :)
Ice blocking is too much fun for such a simple thing!
Nate, you should make the new worlds largest super soaker in memory of Grant’s version and dedicate it to him
A dry ice version next?
Great build, and fun vid!
I was thinking of doing this with a Summerboard making the edges long pieces of ice to act like skis almost. Might still need an edge wheel on the center edges.
I have never heard of this either. Interesting...
The bigger the boys the bigger the toys I suppose !
Never heard of this as a concept, but I'm now about to find out if there's anywhere nearby that sells blocks of ice so I can do it
Ditto!!
ha Nate try a plain old cardboard box or a old practice snow sled. I use to use them all the time when i was a kid. o and you can use a car innertube to.
Awesome 👍
Reminds me of the movie barn yard
Could it be that the 2 ice block sled was also at a disadvantage coz the ice was retaining dirt and grass because of its rough texture?
Aaaaaand this is where the TKOR magic has gone to, ladys and gentlemen!! 👌🥺
You can make an ice block with an ice cream tub
Awesome video!
Looks really fun!
Looks very fun !
You should build one with wheels so you never have to buy ice. You can use skateboard trucks to steer.
awesome video
Thanks!
Very cool Nate you should have Kelly try the snowboard Version
This seems like a “You make it, we skate it” by Braille Skateboarding. You should sent it to them for a kickflip test.
Maybe you could put them on the bottom of a pair of shoes, or on the bottom of ice skates or roller blades.
I wonder about shaving a slight chamfer on the leading edge, so it doesn't dig in, but instead slides smoother over bumps. But also, you could carve a slight arch out of the middle of each block, so you effectively had two runners, one on each side with a gap between them. (Would work on any style of sled / iceblock)
You should build a low riding a using a Teflon sheet... Will probably work way better that the ice block...
I had no idea this was even a thing!
Slap a pair of smooth wooden runners on your base, eliminate the ice and improve the stability.
Grass sledding was a significant part of my childhood.
Well, then it wouldn't be a ice block sled🤣
When I was a wee lad there was a big hill on the (I think it was) east side of salt lake city. Just massive (to my young self.)
It's been decades since I was there but I think I heard someone say it's fenced up now so no ice blocking any more.
We (Germany) don't have ice blocks 😔 ad least not like ice cubes to by in the store. But its looks like fun
Heres a challenge for you...find a material just as slippy as ice and use that instead. Most places in the world have a drought on atm...
love the videos Nate! keep up the great work 👍! peace and love from Ohio
I'm in Australia and have never heard of this, but Nate I wonder if dry ice would work as well, great video 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
Probably not. I don't think dry ice is as slick as water ice. Also, I'm thinking you're more likely to get stuff frozen to it and the texture would be ruined faster.
Cant say I have ever seen this. If it was me though, I would stick s storage tote full of water in a chest freezer to make full sled sized and consistant blocks of ice to build on. Or build a mold to fill with water an stick in the chest freezer that produces actual molded ice sleds.
Never heard of this but looks fun! Granted Im from Canada 🇨🇦 LOL
6:37 “I’m going to counter sink the screws”
7:14 *drives screws into soft wood and they automatically countersink themselves*
9:27 “I’m going to use spray adhesive to put this layer of foam over the screws so it wouldn’t matter if I countersunk them after all”
damn i wish theres a lot of flat grass here in philippines to ice block sled
theres a lot of rocks here, and no grass
I wonder how well this would work with pycrete instead of a normal icce block.
I like these kinds of videos keep it up
This is so cool!
Here's a tought : use wheels instead of ice 😁
No one has ever accused Nate of over engineering anything...................🤣🤣🤣
From personal experience......golf clubs do not appreciate ice blocking..........our local back 9 has some spectacular hills for it.........
Nice. really like your new channel.
im not sure how experienced you are with actual snowboarding or skateboarding but i wonder how good the iceboard would be for someone who is really good using things that are similar and has the muscle memory all built up to help them balance and adjust themselves while using it
I could totally see the guys from Jackass doing this on a gnarly hill!
At 12:38 she straight did some acrobat stuff I think would've killed a guy, lol
MOM! Phineas and Ferb are trying to bring Swinter back!
Lol, very cool!
do more video's with Cal because it fill more like the old king of random.
As a Canadian I am incredibly confused by this, and very intrigued.
Cool... er, COLD!
Now then, put some wheels on them and really get some speed!
Watch how products like this start appearing on Wish, Amazon and what not. Then is gonna be a wallmart special
