Kiersten Lippman Webboard User Reg: 09-28-2009 Posts: 487 Loc: Alaska Offline	Here's a link to Norwegian coverage of the world cup skijor/sled races. Really exciting mass starts and very hilly courses.The video takes a while to load. It's all in Norwegian. http://www.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/723848/ Starts with the men nordic combined (pulka and skijor), then the womens nordic combined, then mass start four dog, and mass start 8 dog. I've never seen anyone mass start a sled race like that. Or anyone sled or skijor such a challenging course. It is the same course they used for world championship nordic ski (only) races a few weeks ago. http://skiersten1.wix.com/perfect-storm-k9

Plus, in Norway and Sweden they get second string National Ski Team members to 'jockey' their dogs. So it's a win-win situation for those dogs and skiers. It seems the Europeans often are one step ahead of us in the dogs sports. The dogs are called 'greysters' because they're a mix of pointer and greyhound. http://skiersten1.wix.com/perfect-storm-k9
